CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The Mine is located in Ende Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur in Indonesia with an aggregate mining area of 4,413 hectares with a total length of 38 km.
According to the technical assessment report which is prepared by technical officer appointed by Galileo BVI provided by the Company, the Mine is estimated to have the intrinsic economic volume of the magnetic sand resources of approximately 80.60 million tonnes. The beach in the area of Mine are almost covered with iron ore. The iron ore is originated from the seafloor of this area, and used to be the rocks, which contained richer iron, on the island many

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
years ago. After million years of weathering erosion, it was broken into gravel-like sand and washed away to the seabed by nature. The formation of today’s iron ore along the beach is the result of washing by big waves for countless times and then washing into the coast again. The ore bodies directly exposed on the surface along the seashore. With reference to the current market price of iron, the prices are ranging from RMB400 per tonne to RMB980 per tonne. Based on the discounted cash flow forecast of Gold Track prepared by Grant Sherman as disclosed in Appendix IV to this circular, the estimated business value of Gold Track is approximately HK$544.1 million.
The technical assessment report will be available to the Shareholders for inspection during normal business hours at the principal office of the Company from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the EGM.
The Mine is located at 3 km away from the local airport, 3.5 km away from the pier and is surrounded by state highway. There are two ways to travel from Jakarta, Indonesia to the Mine: it takes around 4 hours by flight or about a week by sea. With the existing local infrastructure, the Board considers the transportation cost as well as the production cost of the Mine is reduced. The Mine is approximately 2,900 km away from Hong Kong and approximately 3,880 km away from Yang Shan, Shanghai, China. As compared to approximately 16,880 km and 7,020 km away from Brazil and Australia respectively, two of the largest mine suppliers to China in the market, the transportation cost of the Mine to China is lesser. As such, the Board is of the view that Gold Track Group will have a competitive advantage within the mining business.
Having regarded the iron ore body directly exposed on the ground surface along the seashore at the Mine, the Board is of the view that the extraction of the iron ore body from the Mine should not fall within the definition of exploration.
The Exploitation Permit was issued by to PT. Kapitalindo Management on 23 January 2009 and will be valid for period of 5 years, which can be extended for unlimited terms of 5 years each. In addition, according to the advice of the Indonesian legal advisers, PT. Kapitalindo Management should be commencing exploitation work on the Mine within 2 years from the date of the Exploitation Permit. Otherwise, such exploitation rights may be forfeited and/or cancelled by the Indonesian Government Authorities of Officer of Mining and Energy of Ende Regency.
REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION
The Company is principally engaged in providing services to assist clients on various business or management issues, computer hardware and software services and hotel business. It is always the Group’s objective to seek new business projects to enhance the financial performance of the Group.
– 13 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As shown in the technical report, the exceptionally rich mining resources in Indonesia and the government’s policy of opening the market to external developers are all rare and favorable conditions. The Board is optimistic about future prospect in exploration and exploitation business in Indonesia. Indonesia has abundant resources to be discovered and explored. It will provide a great potential for the Group’s business growth if the Group is able to step into the natural resources business of Indonesia. As the Board considers that the demand for iron is still high in the foreseeable future, the Subscription will enable the Company to participate in a potentially profitable business. Based on the information provided in the section headed “Information on the Mine”, since the estimated value of Gold Track is approximately HK$544.1 million, the Board considers it is worth investing the Gold Track Group. Moreover importantly, the Group will be able to obtain (i) relevant experience in running a mining business; and (ii) business connections in the mining industry, both of which are valuable intangible assets for the Group in case the Group further develops its mining business. However, there are potential risks that may be faced by the Company to engage into natural resources business. Details of the risks are set out in the sub-section headed “Risk factors” below.
RISK FACTORS
Possible risk factors which may be faced by the Company are as follows:
Investments in new business
The Subscription constitutes an investment in the new business sector. The new business, coupled with the regulatory environment, may pose significant challenges on the Group’s administrative, financial and operational resources. Since the Group does not have significant experience in the new business, it is not in a position to estimate the possible return from the new business nor is it in a position to control the operation risks.
Continuous capital investment
The mining business requires significant and continuous capital investment. The mine exploration project may exceed the original budgets, and it is not guaranteed to achieve the intended economic results or commercial viability. Actual capital expenditures for the new business may significantly exceed the Group’s budgets because of various factors beyond the Group’s control, which in turn may affect the Group’s financial condition.
Policies and regulations
The new business is subject to extensive governmental regulations, policies and controls. There can be no assurance that the relevant government authorities (i) will maintain the existing laws and regulations or (ii) will not impose additional or more stringent laws or regulations. Failure to comply with the relevant laws and regulations may adversely affect the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Environmental protection policies
The mining and processing business is subject to environmental protection law and regulations. If the Group fails to comply with existing or future environmental laws and regulations, the Group may be required to take remedial measures, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial condition and results of operations of the Group.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS ON THE GROUP
Upon Completion, all members of the Gold Track Group will become indirect whollyowned subsidiaries of the Company and its accounts will be consolidated into the Group. According to the third quarterly report for the nine months ended 31 December 2008 of the Company, the Group had an unaudited total assets and total liabilities of approximately HK$760,395,658 and HK$48,722,600 respectively as at 31 December 2008. According to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as disclosed in Appendix V to this circular, assuming the Subscription took place on 31 December 2008, the total assets of the Enlarged Group would increase to approximately HK$1,300,994,144 and the total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would also increase to approximately HK$52,895,546. As such, the net assets value per Share will increase from approximately HK$0.86 as at 31 December 2008 to approximately HK$1.50 per Share based on the total number of issued Shares of 832,110,000 (calculated as the pro forma net asset value of the Enlarged Group of HK$1,248,098,598 divided by the number of issued Shares of 832,110,000).
The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group has been prepared and set out in Appendix V to this circular to provide details of the financial effect on the Group upon completion of the Subscription to the Shareholders.
Notwithstanding the net liabilities of the Gold Track Group exceeded its total assets of approximately HK$247,202 as at 31 March 2009, the Board confirmed that, after taking into consideration the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as disclosed in Appendix V to this circular, the financial positions of the Group will not be materially and adversely affected.
Shareholders should note that the pro forma financial information is for illustration purpose only. The actual financial effect on the Subscription will be disclosed in the annual report of the Company.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
As stated in the unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended 31 December 2008 of the Company, the Board has been seeking opportunities to diversify the Group’s income stream in order to enhance Shareholders’ value. To align with the initiative to diversify the income stream of the Group, the Board has acquired information technology related business and the hotel and tourism business in the past two years through the acquisition of Loyal King Investments Limited and Superb Kings Limited respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Taking into account of the market potentials of the businesses of the Gold Track Group, and the possible earnings contribution of the Gold Track Group to the Group in the future, the Directors consider that the acquisition of Gold Track Group can broaden the Group’s income base and improve its financial performance.
According to the board of directors of Gold Track, it is under negotiation with the independent third parties to acquire a company with an exploration right at another mine field in Indonesia. Such mine may contain manganese, a transition metal which can be used to produce steel. Further announcement will be made by the Company in accordance to the Listing Rules in this regard if such negotiation materializes.
With the business relationship with the management of Gold Track, the Board expects that further acquisition in mining business will be sought. However, save as disclosed above and save for the Subscription, no other acquisition is proposed or under negotiation as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Board also expects that spin-off for a separate listing of mining business on the GEM may be proposed if the profit derived from mining business is sustained in future. The Group will continually seek for any possible investments and will continue its existing businesses.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF GOLD TRACK GROUP
The Subscription constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. To the best of Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Gold Track is beneficially owned as to 55% by Ms. Yeung So Lai, who is the sister-in-law of Mr. Cheng Ting Kong (a substantial shareholder of the Company). Gold Track is therefore regarded as a connected person of the Company and the Subscription is regarded as a connected transaction under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules. With regard to the above, Independent Shareholders’ approval is required for the Subscription Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Cheng Ting Kong and his associates are beneficially interested in 140,000,000 Shares. As Mr. Cheng Ting Kong has a material interest in the Subscription, he and his associates are required to abstain from the voting at the EGM on the resolution to approve the Subscription Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

On 1 September 2008, Galileo BVI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Gold Track entered into a loan agreement. Under the Loan Agreement, Galileo BVI is entitled to capitalize the Loan and interests accrued thereon into not less 51% of the share capital of Gold Track as enlarged by the allotment and issue of additional shares to Galileo BVI.

The Subscription constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. To the best of Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Gold Track is beneficially owned as to 55% by Ms. Yeung So Lai, who is the sister-in-law of Mr. Cheng Ting Kong (a substantial Shareholder).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Cheng Ting Kong and his associates are beneficially interested in 140,000,000 Shares.

Note: For reference purpose, the auditors of the Company had issued opinions of fundamental uncertainty relating to the going concern basis for the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 and 2006 due to the liquidity problem of the Company in the above period.
As noted from the above table, the financial performance of the Group had significantly improved after the year end of 2007. The turnaround for the financial year ended 31 March 2008 was mainly due to the acquisition of Loyal King Limited and its subsidiaries (“Loyal King Group”) which allowed the Group to commence the information technology related business since 19 December 2007. Details of the acquisition of Loyal King Group are set out in the Company’s circular dated 23 November 2007.
For the year ended 31 March 2008, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$44.3 million, representing an increase of 2,598% when compared to the turnover of approximately HK$1.6 million in 2007. The turnover generated from information technology related business was approximately HK$33.6 million, representing about 75.8% of the total turnover for the year ended 31 March 2008. As a result of the contribution from information technology related business, the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2008 was approximately HK$2.4 million (2007: loss of HK$6.5 million).
As stated in the Third Quarterly Report 2008, the income from the information technology related business lifted to approximately HK$100.2 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2008.
The Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$133.6 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2008, representing an increase of 2,039% when compared to the corresponding period in the last fiscal year. Apart from the substantial contribution from information technology related business as mentioned above, the increase in turnover was also due to the revenue generated by Superb Kings Limited which accounted for approximately HK$31.4 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2008. On 20

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
May 2008, the Company acquired the entire share capital of Superb Kings Limited which is principally engaged in the hotel business in the Philippines. Details of the acquisition of Superb Kings Limited are set out in the circular of the Company dated 10 April 2008.
The unaudited net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the nine months ended 31 December 2008 was approximately HK$23.1 million (For the corresponding period in 2007: Loss of HK$18.4 million). As stated in the Third Quarterly Report 2008, the higher profit figure mainly reflected a higher turnover generated by the information technology related business and hotel business acquired in December 2007 and May 2008 respectively.
Reason for the Subscription
We are advised by the Directors that it is always the Group’s objective to seek new business projects to enhance the financial performance of the Group.
Based on the information provided in the section headed “Information on the Mine” set out in the Letter, since the estimated value of Gold Track is approximately HK$544.1 million, the Board considers it is worth investing in the Gold Track Group. Moreover importantly, the Group will be able to obtain (i) relevant experience in running a mining business; and (ii) business connections in the mining industry, both of which are valuable intangible assets for the Group in case the Group further develops its mining business.
The global demand for iron
According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on web, iron is the most widely used of all the metals, accounting for approximately 95% of worldwide metal production. It is used primarily in structural engineering applications, and in maritime purposes, automobiles, and general industrial applications. Approximately 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel.
As extracted from Wikipedia, China produced 520 metric tons of iron ore, with an annual growth of 38%. Based on China industry research and investment analysis: Iron ore mining industry 2008, China consumes over 50% of the iron ore production so China’s iron ore production have not been able to meet domestic demand and it needs to import iron ore from other countries. According to Wikipedia, world consumption of iron ore grows 10% per annum on average with the main consumers being China, Japan, Korea, the United States and the European Union. China is currently the largest consumer of iron ore, which translates to be the world’s largest steel producing country.
We have conducted a review on the demand of iron in China. Based on the information from China Customs, China imported a total amount of HK$190.9 billion of iron and steel in 2008, representing an increase of 6.34% as compared to those in 2007.
In view of the current economic stimulation packages (which generally include infrastructure investment) around the world, we are of the view that the demand for iron, hypothetically, will remain strong.

Conclusion
Having considered (i) the reason of the Subscription; and (ii) the global demand for iron as set out in the previous paragraphs, we are of the view that the Subscription represents an opportunity for the Group to further diversify its business into a potential profitable sector which may further enhance the financial performance of the Group as a result. On the above basis, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Information on the Mine
The Mine is located at 3 km away from the local airport, 3.5 km away from the pier and is surrounded by state highway. There are two ways to travel from Jakarta, Indonesia to the Mine: it takes around 4 hours by flight or about a week by sea. With the existing local infrastructure, the Board considers the transportation cost as well as the production cost of the Mine is reduced. The Mine is approximately 2,900 km away from Hong Kong and approximately 3,880 km away from Yang Shan, Shanghai, China. As compared to approximately 16,880 km and 7,020 km away from Brazil and Australia respectively, the two of the largest iron ore suppliers to China in the market, the transportation cost of the Mine to China is lesser. As such, the Board is of the view that Gold Track Group will have a competitive advantage within the mining business.
We refer to the technical assessment report on the Mine (“Technical Report”) performed by an independent third party (“Mining Expert”). The Technical Report principally evaluates the geological resources and previous exploration work of the project according to the site visits and the information provided by Gold Track. Pursuant to the Technical Report, the view points contained in the Technical Report are based on the information provided by Gold Track to the Mining Expert. As such, Gold track has advised the Mining Expert that it has fully disclosed all the information and, to its best knowledge and understanding, the information is complete, accurate and authentic.

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The Technical Report is prepared in accordance with the requirements set out in the National Standards on General Regulations for Solid Mineral Exploration of the People’s Republic of China ( ) (GB/T13908 – 2002), Standard Regulations on Geo-exploration of Iron, Manganese and Chrome Ore for the Geology & Mineral Resources Industry of the People’s Republic of China – ( ) (DZ/T0200 2002) and Standard Regulations on Geo-exploration of Sand Mines (Metal Ores) for the Geology and Mineral Resources Industry of the People’s Republic of China – ( ) (DZ/T0208 2002), and is recognised by the Mining Expert as a “technical assessment report” complying with the requirements. According to the Technical Report, all the requirements mentioned above have binding force upon the geo-exploration conducted in the People’s Republic of China.
Based on the Technical Report, the total intrinsic economic resources of iron sand within the explored area fixed by the geo-exploration staff of Gold Track was estimated to be 80.60 million tons as at 31 October 2008.
We would like to remind the Independent Shareholders that the iron reserves of the Mine may not conform to the estimated level as stated in the Technical Report performed by the Mining Expert. Any failure in discovering iron or in attaining commercial production may adversely affect the investment return of the Subscription, in particular, exploration, development and production risk as well as operation and environmental and sovereign risk may occur in the Mine. Normal market risk conditions also apply including commodity price, currency fluctuations, supply and demand and general economic outlook. Independent Shareholders are also advised to pay attention to the risk factors associated with the Subscription disclosed in the paragraph headed “Risk Factors” in the Letter.
Consideration and business valuation
The consideration for the Subscription Shares is settled by the Galileo BVI by capitalizing the Loan and interests accrued thereon. As at 8 October 2008 (the date of signing the Subscription Agreement) and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate amount of the Loan and the interests accrued thereon is approximately US$1,005,479 and approximately US$1,075,068.49 respectively.
Given the capitalization of the Loan and the accrued interests will only be completed upon the Completion, we consider the payment term of the consideration fair and reasonable with no irregularity noted.
The terms of the Subscription Agreement, including the Subscription Shares and the consideration were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties after taking into account, among others, the consideration, the risk factors associated with the Mine as disclosed in the Circular, the business prospects of Gold Track, the possible contribution to the Group from the proceeds generated from exploitation of the Mineral Resources at the Mine. To the best of Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, PT. Tomico Resources was acquired by Gold Track at a consideration of US$100,000.

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
According to the business valuation report in respect of the fair value of a 100% equity interest in the business entity of Gold Track prepared by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited (the “Valuer”), the text of which is set out in Appendix IV to the Circular (“Valuation Report”), the fair value of 100% equity interest in the business entity of Gold Track as at 31 March 2009 is HK$544,100,000.
We have discussed with the Valuer regarding, among other things, the assumptions, bases and methodologies adopted therein. We have reviewed the key assumptions adopted in the Valuation Report and noted that the Valuer used a 50% recovery rate on the 80.6 million tons of iron, i.e. 40.3 million, and an average selling price of iron at US$85 per ton during the period from 2009 to 2021.
According to the Technical Report, the Mine is classified as category 333 based on China’s Solid Minerals Resource Classifications. As suggested by the China’s mining rights assessment guidance ( ), the range of 50% to 80% of recovery rate for category 333 resource should be adopted. For prudence sake, the Valuer has used a recovery rate at 50% and we consider such assumption is reasonable.
Regarding the average selling price of iron at US$85 per ton, apart from reviewing the market data provided by the Company, we have conducted our market research and found that the market price of iron powder in the PRC was around US$82 per ton to US$86 per ton, which were closed to the average selling price of iron adopted by the Valuer.
As stated in the Valuation Report, the Valuer has considered three generally accepted approaches, namely income approach, market approach and cost approach in arriving its concluded values of Gold Track and had selected the income approach. The fair value of the equity interest in the Company was developed through the application of the income approach technique known as the Discounted Cash Flow Method. In this method, the value depends on the present worth of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of equity and shareholders’ loans. Thus, an indication of value was developed by discounting future net cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for servicing shareholders’ loans to their present worth at market-derived rates of return appropriate for the risks and hazards (discount rate) associated with the comparable business.
Pursuant to the Valuation Report, the Valuer is of the view that the market approach and cost approach are inappropriate for valuing the fair values of the equity interest in Gold Track. First, the market approach relies heavily on data from public trading comparable companies that are revenue generating and profit making which are not the cases with Gold Track. Secondly, the cost approach does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by Gold Track. Therefore, this approach often serves as a valuation floor since most companies have greater value as a going concern than they would if liquidated, i.e., the present value of future economic benefits generated by the companies usually far exceed the value arrived through the application of the cost approach.

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
We have discussed with the Valuer regarding the basis for estimating the net cash flow from the business of Gold Track and the determination of the discount rate adopted under the discounted cash flow method adopted in such valuation. We have been advised that the net cash flow (“Net Cash Flow”), which is based on the 50% recovery rate of resources i.e. 40.3 million tons, is projected to the year of 2021.
We have been advised that the discount rate applied to the Net Cash Flow is based on a weight average cost of capital which is developed through the application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), the beta, cost of equity and cost of debt. The cost of equity is estimated by using the CAPM taking into account of the risk free rate of return (which is the yield of the long term government bonds of Indonesia), the market equity risk premium (which is based on the expected market return for Indonesia and the average beta of nine comparable public iron mining companies as quoted on Bloomberg) and additional premiums (including adjustments to the small capitalization risk premium and the startup risk premium (the “Additional Premiums”)). The cost of debt is determined based on the bank prime rate for local banks in Indonesia. The Additional Premiums are applied to reflect the further risks exposed to by the business of Gold Track as compared to the comparable public iron mining companies. The valuation arrived at by applying the discount rate was further discounted by 30% to reflect the lack of marketability of the investment in Gold Track as compared to the public iron mining companies.
Based on our review of the Valuation Report and discussion with the Valuer regarding, among other things, (i) the scope of work and assumptions of the valuation; (ii) the valuation basis, including the Net Cash Flow, the applied methodologies, in particular the discount rate adopted under the discounted cash flow method; and (iii) the due diligence works performed by the Valuer in preparing Valuation Report, we consider that the basis, assumptions and methodologies adopted by the Valuer in the Valuation Report appropriate. We, however, express no opinion on the actual results of the Net Cash Flow.
Given the locations of the iron mines, quality of the iron mine and cost structure of setting up mining operation are different and the Target Group has not yet commenced operation, we consider it is impracticable to compare the consideration of the Subscription with comparable transactions conducted by the other Hong Kong listed companies or those of companies engaged in business similar to the Target Group. However, given the fair value of 100% equity interest in the business entity of Gold Track as at 31 March 2009 is HK$544.1 million and 54% of Gold Track to be acquired by the Group under the Subscription is approximately HK$293.8 million, which is significantly higher than the consideration of the Subscription, i.e. approximately US$1 million, we are of the view that the consideration for the Subscription is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(3) Risk Factors
We would like to remind the Independent Shareholders that there are uncertainties associated with the Subscription notwithstanding the potential benefits. Independent Shareholders are advised to pay attention on the paragraph headed “Risk Factors” in the Letter which covers the investment risk in new business, the continuous capital investment by the Group, the policies and regulations in where the Mine located and the environment protection policies to be adopted by the Gold Track Group. In addition, we consider that there are also uncertainties and business risks associated with the Subscription including (i) the commercial marketability of the iron and the time as to when the Mine will commence operation; and (ii) the possible impact of investment loss to the Group in the event of failure to develop the Mine or an ill-investment decision which led to financial loss to the Group.
The Mine may or may not perform as projected, which may significantly affect the Group’s financial performance as the Group may require significant capital input in the mining operations. The Subscription will, therefore, result in a significant change in the risk profile of the Group’s businesses, which may or may not accord with the risk/return preferences of individual shareholders.
(4) Financial effect of the Subscription
Upon Completion, the Gold Track Group will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its accounts will be consolidated into the Group. According to the third quarterly report 2008 of the Company, the Group had an unaudited total assets and total liabilities of approximately HK$760,395,658 and HK$48,722,600 respectively as at 31 December 2008. According to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as disclosed in Appendix V to the Circular, assuming the Subscription took place on 31 December 2008, the total assets of the Group would increase to approximately HK$1,300,994,144 and the total liabilities of the Group would also increase to approximately HK$52,895,546. As such, the net assets value per Share would increase from approximately HK$0.86 as at 31 December 2008 to approximately HK$1.50 per Share based on the total number of issued Shares of 832,110,000 (calculated as the pro forma net asset value of the Enlarged Group of HK$1,248,098,598 divided by the number of issued Shares of 832,110,000). Assuming that the Subscription has been completed on 1 April 2007, the profit attributable to equity Shareholder will also decrease from approximately HK$2,386,359 to approximately HK$1,768,231 according to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to the Circular.
As set out in the financial information on the Gold Track Group in Appendix II to the Circular, it is stated that Gold Track Group incurred net loss of HK$616,117 for the year ended 31 March 2009 and the Gold Track Group’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by HK$247,202 as at 31 March 2009. As a result, the auditors issued a modified opinion indicating the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Gold Track
– 32 –
LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Given the Gold Track Group is newly set up, we consider that, after taking into consideration of the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as disclosed in Appendix V to the Circular, the net liabilities position of the Gold Track Group has no material impact on the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription.
Despite the decrease in the profit attributable to the equity Shareholder assuming that the Subscription has been completed on 1 April 2007, we consider that the Subscription is beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as whole based on the substantial increase in net assets value per Share as a result of the Subscription.
RECOMMENDATION
Taking into account the factors and reasons as mentioned above, we are of the opinion that (i) the business of the Gold Track Group is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group as iron mining is not one of the principal activities of the Group; (ii) the Subscription Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms and to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders and advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend to the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the Subscription Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement to be proposed at the EGM.
Irrespective of the above, we would remind the Independent Shareholders that there are uncertainties associated with the Subscription notwithstanding the potential benefits. The Mine may or may not perform as projected, which will significantly affect the Group’s financial performance as the Group may require significant capital input in the mining operations. The Subscription will, therefore, result in a significant change in the risk profile of the Group’s businesses, which may or may not accord with the risk/return preferences of individual shareholders.
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of
Grand Cathay Securities (Hong Kong) Limited Kim Chan Kevin Chan Director Director

APPENDIX I
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the listing of Securities on the GEM of the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporated the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.
(b) Segment information
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
(c) Business combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the date of acquisition and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the acquisition.
(d) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Capitalised goodwill arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary is presented as an intangible asset.
– 43 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill arising from an acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year.
When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On subsequent disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.
(e) Investments properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.
(f) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment other than leasehold land and land use right are stated at cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:
| Leasehold properties | 2.5% |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvement | 4% to 20% |
| Office equipment | 20% |
| Furniture and fixtures | 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
| Computer equipment | 30% |
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 derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidation income statement in the year which the item is derecongnised.
When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any differences between the carrying amount and the fair value of the item arising at the date of transfer is recognised directly in equity at a revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment, the gain is recognised in the income statement. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings.

APPENDIX I
(g) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
First-in, first-out method is used to calculate the cost of ordinarily interchangeable items.
(h) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet 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 and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial assets are set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade receivables, other receivables, bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction 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
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are mainly other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of other financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
– 45 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including accruals and other payables, amount due to a director, bank and other borrowings) are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate 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 through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. 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 directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognitised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
(i) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, in which the recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as revaluation decrease under that standard.
(j) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when 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 into the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Sales of goods are recognised when the goods are delivered to the customer and the customer has accepted the related risks and rewards of ownership.
Service income is recognised when services are rendered, on an accrual basis or where condition attached to the relevant agreements and mandates is in satisfaction of the relevant condition.
Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term.
(l) 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 consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises 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 arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, 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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items that charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
(m) Leases
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 lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
– 47 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
The Group as lessee
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(n) Retirement benefit scheme
Payments to the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“MPF Scheme”) are charged as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
(o) Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case such exchange differences are recognised in equity in the consolidated financial statements. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in the income statement for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised directly in equity.
For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised as a separate component of equity (the translation reserve). Such exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on an acquisition of a foreign operation on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising are recognised in the translation reserve.
(p) Share-based payments
Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at the balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated income statement over the remaining vesting period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the consolidated income statement is charged during the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognised in prior years is charged/credited to the profit or loss for the year of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. On vesting date, the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that related to the market price of the Company’s shares. The equity amount is recognised in the capital reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is transferred to the share premium account) or the option expires when it is released directly to retained profits) with the fair value of goods and services received.
(q) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(r) Provision and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the effect of the time value money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value at the balance sheet date of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
(s) Related parties transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operation decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influences.
A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies described in note 3, management makes various estimations and judgments based on past experiences, expectation of future events and other information. The key source of estimation uncertainties and the judgments that may significantly affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are discussed below:
Provision for impairment of trade and other receivables
The provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of the debtors were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provision may be required.
Useful lives and impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and identified impairment losses. The estimation of useful lives impacts the level of annual depreciation recorded. Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for possible impairment on a specific asset basic or in groups of similar assets, as applicable. This process requires management’s estimate of future cash flows generated by each asset or group of asset. For any instance where this evaluation process indicates impairment, the relevant asset’s carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount and the amount written down is charged against the results of operations.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Estimated impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
5.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include trade receivables and other receivables, bank balances and cash, accruals and other payables, bank and other borrowings and amount due to a director. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Categories of financial instruments
| 2008 | 2007 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | ||||
| Financial assets | |||||
| Loans and receivables | |||||
| (including bank balances and cash) | 173,034,794 | 2,283,617 | |||
| Financial liabilities | |||||
| Amortised cost | 8,095,544 | 7,270,447 | |||
Credit risk
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at 31 March 2008 is the carrying amounts of those financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has policies in place and exposures to credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. When necessary, follow-up action will be taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
Market risk
Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. Based on the evaluation of the Group’s operations, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s operations are mainly subject to interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk management
The Group’s fair value interest rate risk is minimal as the Group had no material fixed-rate financial liabilities as at 31 March 2008. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk relates primarily to Hong Kong dollar dominated variable-rate borrowings (note 27) that concentrated on the fluctuation of HIBOR. The Group monitors the interest risk exposure on a continuous basis and adjusts the portfolio of interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities when necessary.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For variable-rate borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease in HIBOR is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit or the year ended 31 March 2008 would decrease/increase by approximately HK$18,918 (2007: HK$ nil). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
Liquidity risk management
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and considering of obtaining banking facilities to support the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. In addition, the management of the Group continuously monitors forecast and actual cash flows and matches the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date of the Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on weighted average effective interest rates) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

APPENDIX I
5.2 Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and trade on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively; and
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions as input.
6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to maximise returns to stakeholders.
The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.
The Group monitors its capital on the basis of the gearing ratio of borrowings over total equity. This ratio is calculated as borrowings divided by total equity. The Group aims to maintain the gearing ratio at a reasonable level. The gearing ratio at the balance sheet date is as follows:
| 2008 | 2007 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Borrowings (note 26 and note 27) | 3,783,510 | 5,000,000 | |||
| Total equity | 596,685,206 | 5,344,638 | |||
| Gearing ratio | 1% | 94% | |||
7. TURNOVER
Turnover represents the net amounts received and receivables from (i) services provided to customers; (ii) goods sold to customers and (iii) rental income and is analysed as follows:

15. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share is based on the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$2,386,359 (2007: a loss of HK$6,511,635) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 1,047,847,927 (2007: 894,041,096) in issue during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

On 19 December 2007, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Loyal King Investments Limited (note 34) with an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$429,878,000 and goodwill of approximately HK$426,465,000 was recognised.
During the year ended 31 March 2008, an impairment of goodwill of HK$2,332,814 was recognised for the funeral services segment since the directors of the Company consider that the recoverability of such goodwill is not feasible. The main factor contributing to the impairment of the goodwill attributable to the funeral services segment is that the actual cash flow generated from that segment was lower than expected.

29. SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The Company operates share option schemes for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Eligible participants of the Option Scheme include the Company’s directors, including independent non-executive directors, other employees of the Group, any person or entity providing research, development or other technological support to the Group, and any other person or entity determined by the directors as having contributed or may contribute to the development and growth of the Group. The Company has two share option schemes, one was adopted on 29 November 2000 (the “Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme”) and another was adopted on 5 December 2006 (the “New Scheme”).
(a) Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme
On 29 November 2000, the Company adopted a share option scheme which was valid and effective for a period not exceeding ten years commencing from 29 November 2000.
Under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme, the eligible participants (including any employee and executive director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, who has full time employment with the Company or any such subsidiary at the time) may be granted an option to subscribe for shares of the Company.
The maximum number of shares in respect of which share options may be granted under the Scheme may not exceed, in nominal amount, 30% of the issued share capital of the Company. The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant in the Scheme is limited to 25% of the maximum aggregate number of shares for the time being issued and which may fall to be issued under the Scheme.
The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 21 days inclusive of, and from the date of the offer. The exercise period of the share options granted is determined by the directors, and commences after a certain vesting period and ends on a date which is not later than 10 years from the respective date when the share options are granted, subject to the provisions for any terminations thereof.
In respect of the share options to be granted after the listing of the Company’s shares on the GME of the Stock Exchange, the subscription price will be a price determined by the directors, but may not be less than the highest of the closing price of the shares on the GEM of the Stock Exchange on the date of grant of the particular option or the average of the closing prices of the shares on the GEM of the Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer of grant of the particular option or the nominal value of a share.
In respect of the share options granted prior to the listing of the Company’s shares on the GME of the Stock Exchange (the “Pre-IPO Share Options”), the subscription price of the Pre-ISO Share Options should not be less than the nominal value of a share.
Share options do not confer rights on the holders to dividends or to vote at shareholders’ meetings.
There was no outstanding share option as at 31 March 2008.
The Directors consider that the Pre-IPO Share Options Scheme does not comply with certain supplementary guidance published by the Stock Exchange concerning Rule 23.03(13) of the GME Listing Rules and the note immediately followed the rule. No further share options will be granted under the Pre-IPO Share Options Plan.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(b) New Scheme
On 5 December 2006, the Company adopted a new share option scheme. The New Scheme became valid and effective for a period of ten years commencing from the adoption of the New Scheme, after which period no further options will be granted but the provisions of the New Scheme shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects.
The participants of the New Scheme to whom options may be granted by the Board shall include any director, employee, consultant, adviser, agent, contractor, customer or supplier of any member of the Group whom the Board in its sole discretion considers eligible for the New Scheme on the basis of his/her contribution to the development and growth of the Group.
No participant shall be granted an option if the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted and to be granted (including options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) in any 12 month period up to and including the date of grant to such participant would exceed 1% of the shares for the time being in issue unless the proposed grant has been approved by the shareholders in general meeting with the proposed grantee and his associates abstaining from voting. The number and terms of options to be granted to each grantee must be fixed before the shareholders’ approval and the date of meeting of the Board for proposing such further grant should be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the subscription price.
The total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the New Scheme and all other share option schemes of the Company (the “Scheme Mandate Limit”) shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue unless the Company obtains a fresh approval from its shareholders pursuant to the approval of the shareholders in general meetings. At 31 March 2008, the number of shares issuable under share options granted under the Share Option Plan was 85,050,000, which represented approximately 5.4% of the Company’s shares in issue as at that date. The limit on the number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Scheme and any other schemes shall not exceed 30% of the shares of the Company from time to time.
The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 14 days after the date on which the offer becomes or is declared unconditional. The exercise period of the share options granted is determinable by the board of directors, and commences on any date after the date of grant and ends on a date which is not later than ten years from the date of offer of the share options or the expiry date of the New Scheme, if earlier.
The exercise price of share options is determined by the board of directors, but may not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares on the GEM of the Stock Exchange on the date of grant of the option; (ii) the average of the closing prices of the Company’s shares on the GEM of the Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option; and (iii) the nominal value of the shares of the Company.
The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements under Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules, including without limitation disclosures in the annual and interim reports of the Company including details of the options granted to the following persons: (i) each of the connected person; (ii) each participant with options granted in excess of the limit; (iii) aggregate figures for the employees; (iv) aggregate figures for supplier of goods or services; and (v) all other participants as an aggregate whole.

The Group recognised the total expense of HK$5,757,471 for the year ended 31 March 2008 (2007: HK$3,272,393) in relation to share options granted by the Company.
At 31 March 2008, the Company had 85,050,000 share options (2007: 74,250,000) outstanding under the Option Scheme. The exercise in full of the outstanding share options would, under the present capital structure of the Company, result in the issue of 85,050,000 additional ordinary shares of HK$0.02 each of the Company and additional share capital of HK$1,701,000 (2007: HK$1,485,000) and cash proceeds to the Company of HK$32,274,500 (2007: HK$22,644,500) (before share issue expenses).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Note: As part of the consideration for the acquisition of Loyal King Group, 280,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company with par value of HK$0.02 each were issued. The fair value of the ordinary shares of the Company, determined using the published price available at the date of acquisition of HK$1.39 per shares, amounted to HK$389,200,000.
During the year ended 31 March 2008, Loyal King Group contributed approximately HK$19,838,000 to the Group’s profit for the year.
Goodwill arose in the acquisition because the cost of the acquisition included control premium paid for the acquisition. In addition, the consideration paid for the acquisition effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill as the future economic benefits arising from them cannot be reliably measured.
If the above acquisition had been completed on 1 April 2007, total restated group turnover for the year 2008 would have been approximately HK$70,628,000 and restated profit for the year 2008 would have been approximately HK$7,857,000. The pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of revenue an results of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on 1 April 2007, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

36. MAJOR NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS
During the year, the Group entered into finance lease arrangements in respect of property, plant and equipment with a total capital value at the inception of the leases of HK$ Nil (2007: HK$39,047).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
4. INDEBTEDNESS
As at the close of business on 27 April 2009, the Enlarged Group had outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$21,000 finance lease obligation.
Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal accounts payable in the ordinary course of business of the Enlarged Group, none of the companies comprising the Enlarged Group had outstanding at the close of business on 27 April 2009 any mortgages, terms loans, charges or debentures, loan capital, bank loans and overdrafts, debt securities or other similar indebtedness, finance leases or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or any guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.
The Directors have confirmed that there has been no material change in indebtedness or contingent liabilities of the Group since 27 April 2009.
5. WORKING CAPITAL
The Directors are of the opinion that, following completion of the Acquisition, taking into account the financial resources available to the Enlarged Group, including the internally generated funds and the present available banking facilities of the Enlarged Group, and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Enlarged Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.
6. MATERIAL CHANGES
The Directors are not aware of any material adverse changes in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2008, the date to which the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made.
7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the year ended 31 March 2006
Financial performance
The Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$2.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2006, representing a strong increase of approximately 157% over the previous year’s turnover of approximately HK$0.9 million. Such increase in turnover was mainly due to the fact that many of the deals under negotiation throughout the two years ended 31 March 2006 were completed during the financial year under review. The income generated was therefore recognised after these transactions had been concluded successfully.
– 84 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Cost of services for the year had gone up to approximately HK$0.5 million from approximately HK$0.2 million recorded in the previous financial year. Nonetheless, the cost of services at less than 25% of turnover was still considered manageable and the increase was in line with the higher turnover as anticipated.
Administrative and general expenses together with other operating expenses reduced by approximately 2.5% to approximately HK$3.7 million compared to approximately HK$3.8 million in the previous financial year.
Net loss for the year ended 31 March 2006 was approximately HK$1.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$1.2 million or more than 38%. As all cost and expenditure items remained at a stable level, the smaller loss mainly reflected a higher turnover recorded for the year with the bulk of the revenue due from clients recognised in the financial year under review when the deals were successfully brought to a conclusion.
Liquidity and financial resources
As at 31 March 2006, the Group had net tangible liabilities of approximately HK$3.7 million and net current liabilities of approximately HK$4.2 million. The net tangible liabilities value was caused by the amount due to a Director had gone up from approximately HK$2.8 million to nearly HK$4.4 million. This advance was unsecured and carried interest at 1.5% per annum which for the year under review was waived.

APPENDIX I
Contingent liabilities
On 16 November 2004, RMB0.8 million deposits were received by Galileo Asset Management Limited (the “GAML”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for the purpose of providing advisory services for the client after signing the consultancy agreement between the parties. On 7 January 2006, a letter was sent to GAML for termination of the consultancy agreement and the said client requested for the return of the RMB0.8 million deposit.
However, the Company’s legal adviser had advised the directors of GAML that such client had been in breach of the consultancy agreement between GAML and such client and that GAML was not obliged to return the sum of RMB0.8 million to the client but conversely GAML would have a potential claim against the client for breach of contract. Accordingly, the Directors considered the RMB0.8 million to be non-refundable upfront fee payable under the consultancy agreement, and no liability had been assumed and accordingly, the amount of RMB0.8 million had not been accounted for in the income statement.
The Directors considered that the outcome of the claim referred above would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
Dividend
The Directors did not recommend the payment of dividend for the year ended 31 March 2006.
Business review
2005 saw the unmistakable sign of the local economy continuing its strong recovery. Business activities in the capital and securities markets had both picked up considerably in tandem with the PRC’s growing needs for overseas fund-raising. Through cooperation with other investment banks and financial service providers, the Group had been involved in the protracted negotiations with a number of promising clients in the PRC for placements and listings as well as finalising credit facilities. The better than expected increase in turnover had been generated from financial advisory assignments due to the Group’s strong in-house structuring expertise.
Whenever possible, the Group had been active in building bridges to second-tier cities in the PRC. This was a sustained long term process to establish a strong delivery platform for the Group’s financial and investment products to corporate clients. The management hoped to position the Group as a premier financial service provider in the Greater China region in the years to come.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The Financial Information is prepared under the historical cost basis.
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have a significant effect on the Financial Information and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 7.
The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholders has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable Gold Track Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The Financial Information include the financial statement of Gold Track and its subsidiaries made up to 31 March 2009.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the years/periods are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
All intra-group transaction, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Gold Track Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which the Gold Track Group cease to have control of the subsidiaries. Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the respective property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives at the rates as follows:
| Furniture and fixture | 20% |
|---|---|
| Computer | 30% |
| Motor vehicle | 20% |
| Machinery and equipment | 20% |
| Leasehold improvement | 20% |
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Costs incurred in maintaining property, plant and equipment in their normal working conditions are charged to the income statement. Improvements are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives to Gold Track Group.
– 104 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in the income statement.
(d) Property under development
Property under development represents a building under construction, which is stated at cost less impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct cost of construction. Property under development is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially completed and ready for its intended use.
(e) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are stated at cost less impairment losses. Exploration and evaluation assets include acquisition of rights to explore, topographical and geological surveys, exploratory drilling, sampling and trenching and activities in relation to evaluating commercial and technical feasibility studies of extracting a mineral resources. Expenditure incurred prior to accruing legal rights to explore an area is written off as incurred. When it can be reasonably ascertained that a mining property is capable of commercial production, exploration and evaluation costs are transferred to mining rights and are amortised based on the accounting policy as stated in “Mining rights” below. If any project is abandoned during the evaluation stage, the total expenditure thereon will be written off.
(f) Mining rights
Mining rights, including exploration and evaluation assets, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. The mining rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of the mining rights are reviewed annually in accordance with the production plans of Gold Track Group and the proven and probable reserves of the mines. Mining rights are written off to the income statement if the mining property is abandoned.
(g) Goodwill
Goodwill arising from an acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Gold Track Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Capitalised goodwill arising from an acquisition of a subsidiary is presented separately in the balance sheet.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill arising from as acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising from an acquisition in a financial year, the cash – generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Amy impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the income statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On subsequent disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.
(h) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is a company in which Gold Track directly or indirectly controls more than half of the voting power, or controls the composition of the board of directors.
– 105 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
Investment in a subsidiary is carried in the balance sheet of Gold Track at cost less any provision for diminution in value which is other than temporary as determined by the directors for each subsidiary individually. Any such provisions are recognised as expenses in the income statement.
(i) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when Gold Track Group 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 and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Financial assets
Gold Track Group’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
An impairment loss is recognised in income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction 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
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by Gold Track Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Gold Track Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The financial liabilities of Gold Track Group are mainly other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of other financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate 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 through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
– 106 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
Convertible loans
The fair value of the liability portion of convertible loans is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible loan. This amount is record as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion, maturity or redemption of the loans. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects, if any.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by Gold Track Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue cost.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and Gold Track Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and control of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in income statement.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from Gold Track Group balance sheet when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in income statement.
(j) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each balance sheet date, Gold Track Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, in which the recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as revaluation decrease under that standard.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, high liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
(l) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability, including fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Gold Track Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
– 107 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
(m) 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 period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Gold Track Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises 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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items that charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(n) Turnover
Turnover represents dividend income received and receivable.
(o) Revenue recognition
Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.
(p) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs capitalised are those costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying assets had not been made, which are either the actual costs incurred on a specific borrowing or an amount calculated using the weighted average method, considering all borrowing costs incurred on general borrowings outstanding. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
(q) Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of Gold Track Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which Gold Track Group operates (“the functional currency”).
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rate of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
– 108 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
- (c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Gold Track Group (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(1) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
(2) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
-
(3) all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
(r) Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor), including upfront payment made for leasehold land and land use rights, are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Gold Track Group does not have any assets under finance leases.
(s) Provision
Provisions are recognised when Gold Track Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that Gold Track Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
(t) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Gold Track Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow becomes probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.
(u) Related parties
For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to Gold Track Group if Gold Track Group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where Gold Track Group and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of Gold Track Group where those parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of Gold Track Group or of any entity that is a related party of Gold Track Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Gold Track Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: cash flow and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Gold Track Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Gold Track’s financial performance.
(a) Market risk
Market risk comprises three type of risk: foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and other price risk. Based on the evaluation of Gold Track Group’s operations, the directors of Gold Track consider that Gold Track Group’s operation are mainly subject to foreign exchange risk and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk.
Foreign exchange risk
The majority of the Gold Track Group’s monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Indonesia Rupiah. The Gold Track Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in respect of exchange fluctuation of Hong Kong Dollar against Indonesia Rupiah. The Gold Track Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency asset and liabilities. The Gold Track Group will monitor its foreign exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Gold Track Group has no significant interest-bearing assets except for loans receivable, and cash and cash equivalents. Loans receivable are interest-bearing at fixed rate of 5% per annum. The income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The interest rate risk from financial liabilities arises from convertible loans. Convertible loans are interest-bearing at fixed rate and expose Gold Track Group to fair value interest rate risk. Interest should be payable in arrears in one lump sum with the repayment of the loan. Gold Track Group considers the exposure is not significant.
(b) Credit risk
At 31 March 2009, Gold Track Group has no concentration of risk and the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Gold Track Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under common credit lines.

7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and base on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Gold Track Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Gold Track Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of goodwill in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 4(g). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions made by management on the future operation of the business, pre-tax discount rates, and other assumptions underlying the value-in-use calculations. Information about the assumptions and the risk factors on impairment of goodwill are stated in note 4(g).
Impairment of assets
Gold Track Group has to exercise judgment in determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the asset’s impairment no longer exists, particularly in assessing: (i) whether an event has occurred that may affect the asset value or such event previously affecting the asset’s value is no longer in existence; (ii) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset or its disposal; and (iii) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation costs
The carrying value of exploration and evaluation costs is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the accounting policy as disclosed in the relevant part of this section. The recoverable amount of these assets, or, where appropriate, the cash generating unit to which they belong, is calculated as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Estimating the value in use requires Gold Track Group to estimate the expected future cash flows from the cash generating units and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
8. FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and trade on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively; and
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions as input.
The directors of Gold Track consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements approximate to their fair value.
9. TURNOVER
No turnover was generated by Gold Track Group during the Relevant Period.

APPENDIX II
Exposure to foreign exchange
The revenue and cost of sales of the Gold Track Group was mainly denominated in Indonesian Rupiah and therefore the Gold Track Group was exposed to material foreign currency risk.
Future prospects
It should be mentioned that Gold Track’s choice of developing mining business in Indonesia is the right move. The exceptionally rich mining resources in Indonesia and the government’s policy of opening the market to external developers are all rare and favorable conditions. In addition, the natural occurrence state of such mine deposit further facilitates the mining conditions. All of them are the advantages in which the current development of Gold Track lies.
It has a favorable geographical condition where the beach, with a length of 38km (or even longer), in the area of Ende are almost covered with iron ore. The ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an efficient and effective exploration work. Along the beach, there is a highway in the island which is assessable to the mining area. In addition, the island has an airport and a terminal with kiloton berths, which are approximately 3.0km and 3.5km away from the mining area respectively. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation.
Ende County has a population of about 60,000, largely constituted by Indonesians. Catholicism or Christianity is the principal religion, while part of the population believes in Islamism and Buddhism. Number of aboriginals is quite limited but with an abundant labour force.
For the purpose of social development, the government of Indonesia has formulated a series of preferential policies for attracting foreign companies to exploit its resources of various kinds.
We may say that the same geological conditions will have the same result under the same environment. Therefore, this kind of iron ore will also exist in the nearby region or in farther seashore beach, which means the potential mineral resources here could be very abundant which may give a good prospect for the group profit.

APPENDIX II
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of presentation
The Financial Information is prepared under the historical cost basis.
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have a significant effect on the Financial Information and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 7.
(b) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the respective property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives at the rates as follows:
| Furniture and fixture | 20% |
|---|---|
| Computer | 30% |
| Motor vehicle | 20% |
| Machinery and equipment | 20% |
| Leasehold improvement | 20% |
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Costs incurred in maintaining property, plant and equipment in their normal working conditions are charged to the income statement. Improvements are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives to PT. Tomico.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in the income statement.
(c) Property under development
Property under development represents a building under construction, which is stated at cost less impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct cost of construction. Property under development is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially completed and ready for its intended use.

APPENDIX II
(d) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is a company in which PT. Tomico directly or indirectly controls more than half of the voting power, or controls the composition of the board of directors.
Investment in a subsidiary is carried in the balance sheet of PT. Tomico at cost less any provision for diminution in value which is other than temporary as determined by the directors for each subsidiary individually. Any such provisions are recognised as expenses in the income statement.
(e) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when PT. Tomico 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 and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Financial assets
PT. Tomico’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including loans receivable, amount due from a subsidiary, other receivables, bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
An impairment loss is recognised in income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction 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
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by PT. Tomico are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of PT. Tomico after deducting all of its liabilities. The financial liabilities of PT. Tomico are mainly other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of other financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
– 130 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities including accruals, amount due to an immediate holding company, amount due to a related company and amount due to a director are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate 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 through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by PT. Tomico are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue cost.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and PT. Tomico has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and control of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in income statement.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from PT. Tomico’s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in income statement.
(f) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each balance sheet date, PT. Tomico reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, in which the recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as revaluation decrease under that standard.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, high liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
– 131 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
(h) 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 period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. PT. Tomico’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises 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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items that charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
(i) Turnover
Turnover represents dividend income received and receivable.
(j) Revenue recognition
Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.
(k) Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of PT. Tomico are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which PT. Tomico operates (“the functional currency”).
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rate of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
(l) Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor), including upfront payment made for leasehold land and land use rights, are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
PT. Tomico does not have any assets under finance leases.
(m) Provision
Provisions are recognised when PT. Tomico has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that PT. Tomico will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
(n) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of PT. Tomico. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow becomes probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.
(o) Related parties
For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to PT. Tomico if PT. Tomico has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where PT. Tomico and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of PT. Tomico where those parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of PT. Tomico or of any entity that is a related party of PT. Tomico.
5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
PT. Tomico’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. PT. Tomico’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on PT. Tomico’s financial performance.
(a) Market risk
Market risk comprises three type of risk: foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and other price risk. Based on the evaluation of PT. Tomico’s operations, the directors of PT. Tomico consider that PT. Tomico’s operation are mainly subject to foreign exchange risk and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk.
(i) Foreign exchange risk
PT. Tomico’s operates in Indonesia and is exposed to foreign risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to United States Dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
PT. Tomico closely and continuously monitors the exposure on currency risk. The historical exchange rate fluctuation between Indonesian Rupiah and United States Dollars is significant. Thus, there is significant exposure expected on United States Dollars transactions and balances. To manage the foreign exchange risk, the management will enter transactions using United States Dollars instead of Indonesian Rupiah.
At 31 March 2009, if United States Dollars had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Indonesian Rupiah with all other variables held constant, profit for the period would have been HK$90,573 lower/higher. The equity would have been HK$90,573 lower/higher.
(ii) Interest rate risk
PT. Tomico has no significant interest-bearing assets and liabilities except for loans receivable, and cash and cash equivalents. Loans receivable are interest-bearing at fixed rate of 5% per annum. The income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
– 133 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
(b) Credit risk
At 31 March 2009, PT. Tomico has no concentration of risk and the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets, including other receivables, bank balances and cash.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. PT. Tomico maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under common credit lines.
The following tables detail PT. Tomico’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which PT. Tomico can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
PT. Tomico’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard PT. Tomico’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital; to provide capital for the purpose of strengthening PT. Tomico’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, PT. Tomico’s may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
PT. Tomico monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets. PT. Tomico aims to maintain the gearing ratio at reasonable level. The gearing ratios at 31 March 2009 are as follows.
| At 31 March 2009 | |
|---|---|
| HK$ | |
| Total liabilities | 8,098,930 |
| Total assets | 11,892,624 |

APPENDIX II
7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and base on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
PT. Tomico makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Impairment of assets
PT. Tomico has to exercise judgment in determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the asset’s impairment no longer exists, particularly in assessing: (i) whether an event has occurred that may affect the asset value or such event previously affecting the asset’s value is no longer in existence; (ii) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset or its disposal; and (iii) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.
8. FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and trade on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively; and
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions as input.
The directors of PT. Tomico consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements approximate to their fair value.
9. TURNOVER
No turnover was generated by PT. Tomico during the Relevant Period.

APPENDIX II
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the period commenced from 19 March 2008 (date of incorporation) to 31 March 2009
Financial and business performance
As PT. Tomico has not commenced business, no turnover has been recorded during the review period. PT. Tomico is an investment holding company having 100% indirect and beneficial interested in PT. Kapitalindo by share pledge arrangement.
During the period ended 31 March 2009, PT. Tomico recorded a total turnover of nil. The profit after income tax was approximately HK$649,704. The major expense of PT. Tomico was mainly attributed from the administrative expenses for the period.
Liquidity and financial resources
As at 31 March 2009, PT. Tomico had net current liabilities of approximately HK$4,856,198. In addition, as at 31 March 2009, the current ratio of PT. Tomico was approximately 40%. The gearing ratio (defined as total liabilities over the total assets) of PT. Tomico as at 31 March 2009 was approximately 68%. PT. Tomico generally finances its business by its shareholders.
Charge of assets
PT. Tomico did not have any pledged assets as at 31 March 2009.

APPENDIX II
Exposure to foreign exchange
The revenue and cost of sales of the PT. Tomico was mainly denominated in Indonesian Rupiah and therefore the PT. Tomico was exposed to material foreign currency risk.
Future prospects
It should be mentioned that PT. Tomico’s choice of developing mining business in Indonesia is the right move. The exceptionally rich mining resources in Indonesia and the government’s policy of opening the market to external developers are all rare and favorable conditions. In addition, the natural occurrence state of such mine deposit further facilitates the mining conditions. All of them are the advantages in which the current development of PT. Tomico lies.
It has a favorable geographical condition where the beach, with a length of 38km (or even longer), in the area of Ende are almost covered with iron ore. The ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an efficient and effective exploration work. Along the beach, there is a highway in the island which is assessable to the mining area. In addition, the island has an airport and a terminal with kiloton berths, which are approximately 3.0km and 3.5km away from the mining area respectively. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation.
Ende County has a population of about 60,000, largely constituted by Indonesians. Catholicism or Christianity is the principal religion, while part of the population believes in Islamism and Buddhism. Number of aboriginals is quite limited but with an abundant labour force.
For the purpose of social development, the government of Indonesia has formulated a series of preferential policies for attracting foreign companies to exploit its resources of various kinds.
We may say that the same geological conditions will have the same result under the same environment. Therefore, this kind of iron ore will also exist in the nearby region or in farther seashore beach, which means the potential mineral resources here could be very abundant which may give a good prospect for the group profit.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of presentation
The Financial Information is prepared under the historical cost basis.
The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have a significant effect on the Financial Information and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 7.
The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholders has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable PT. Kapitalindo to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
(b) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are stated at cost less impairment losses. Exploration and evaluation assets include acquisition of rights to explore, topographical and geological surveys, exploratory drilling, sampling and trenching and activities in relation to evaluating commercial and technical feasibility studies of extracting a mineral resources. Expenditure incurred prior to accruing legal rights to explore an area is written off as incurred. When it can be reasonably ascertained that a mining property is capable of commercial production, exploration and evaluation costs are transferred to mining rights and are amortised based on the accounting policy as stated in “Mining rights” below. If any project is abandoned during the evaluation stage, the total expenditure thereon will be written off.
(c) Mining rights
Mining rights, including exploration and evaluation assets, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. The mining rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of the mining rights are reviewed annually in accordance with the production plans of PT. Kapitalindo and the proven and probable reserves of the mines. Mining rights are written off to the income statement if the mining property is abandoned.
(d) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when PT. Kapitalindo becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Financial assets
PT. Kapitalindo’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted are set out below.
– 151 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON GOLD TRACK GROUP
APPENDIX II
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
An impairment loss is recognised in income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction 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
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by PT. Kapitalindo are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of PT. Kapitalindo after deducting all of its liabilities. The financial liabilities of PT. Kapitalindo are mainly other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of other financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities including amount due to an immediate holding company are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate 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 through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by PT. Kapitalindo are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue cost.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and PT. Kapitalindo has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and control of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in income statement.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from PT. Kapitalindo’s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in income statement.

APPENDIX II
(e) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each balance sheet date, PT. Kapitalindo reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, in which the recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as revaluation decrease under that standard.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, high liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
(g) 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 period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. P.T. Kapitalindo’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises 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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items that charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(h) Turnover
Turnover represents income at invoiced value received and receivable after discount and return inwards.
(i) Revenue recognition
Sales is recognized when customer has accepted goods and the related risk and reward of ownership.
(j) Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of PT. Kapitalindo are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which PT. Kapitalindo operates (“the functional currency”).
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rate of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
(k) Provision
Provisions are recognised when PT. Kapitalindo has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that PT. Kapitalindo will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the sole director’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
(l) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of PT. Kapitalindo. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow becomes probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.
(m) Related parties
For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to PT. Kapitalindo if PT. Kapitalindo has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where PT. Kapitalindo and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of PT. Kapitalindo where those parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of PT. Kapitalindo or of any entity that is a related party of PT. Kapitalindo.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
PT. Kapitalindo’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. PT. Kapitalindo’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on PT. Kapitalindo’s financial performance.
(a) Market risk
Market risk comprises three type of risk: foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and other price risk. Based on the evaluation of PT. Kapitalindo’s operations, the director of PT. Kapitalindo consider that PT. Kapitalindo’s operation are mainly subject to foreign exchange risk.
Foreign exchange risk
PT. Kapitalindo’s operates in Indonesia and is exposed to foreign risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to United States Dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, and recognised assets and liabilities.
PT. Kapitalindo closely and continuously monitors the exposure on currency risk. The historical exchange rate fluctuation between Indonesian Rupiah and United States Dollars is significant. Thus, there is significant exposure expected on United States Dollars transactions and balances. To manage the foreign exchange risk, the management will enter transactions using United States Dollars instead of Indonesian Rupiah.
At 31 March 2009, if United States Dollars had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Indonesian Rupiah with all other variables held constant, loss for the period would have been HK$273,196 lower/higher. The equity would have been HK$273,196 lower/higher.
(b) Credit risk
PT. Kapitalindo has no concentration of risk and the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial asset.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. PT. Kapitalindo maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under common credit lines.
The following tables detail PT. Kapitalindo’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which PT. Kapitalindo can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
PT. Kapitalindo’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard PT. Kapitalindo’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital; to provide capital for the purpose of strengthening PT. Kapitalindo’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, PT. Kapitalindo’s may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
PT. Kapitalindo monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets. PT. Kapitalindo aims to maintain the gearing ratio at reasonable level. The gearing ratios at 31 March 2007, 2008 and 2009 are as follows:
| At 31 March | At 31 March | At 31 March | |||||

7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and base on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
PT. Kapitalindo makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Impairment of assets
PT. Kapitalindo has to exercise judgment in determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the asset’s impairment no longer exists, particularly in assessing: (i) whether an event has occurred that may affect the asset value or such event previously affecting the asset’s value is no longer in existence; (ii) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset or its disposal; and (iii) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation costs
The carrying value of exploration and evaluation costs is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the accounting policy as disclosed in the relevant part of this section. The recoverable amount of these assets, or, where appropriate, the cash generating unit to which they belong, is calculated as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Estimating the value in use requires PT. Kapitalindo to estimate the expected future cash flows from the cash generating units and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

8. FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and trade on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively; and
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions as input.
The sole director of PT. Kapitalindo considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements approximate to their fair value.

Employees and remuneration
Given the PT. Kapitalindo has not commenced business during the review period, no employee was hired. No remuneration was recorded during the review period.
Exposure to foreign exchange
The revenue and cost of sales of the PT. Kapitalindo was mainly denominated in Indonesian Rupiah and therefore the PT. Kapitalindo was exposed to material foreign currency risk.
Future prospects
It should be mentioned that PT. Kapitalindo’s choice of developing mining business in Indonesia is the right move. The exceptionally rich mining resources in Indonesia and the government’s policy of opening the market to external developers are all rare and favorable conditions. In addition, the natural occurrence state of such mine deposit further facilitates the mining conditions. All of them are the advantages in which the current development of PT. Kapitalindo lies.
It has a favorable geographical condition where the beach, with a length of 38km (or even longer), in the area of Ende are almost covered with iron ore. The ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an efficient and effective exploration work. Along the beach, there is a highway in the island which is assessable to the mining area. In addition, the island has an airport and a terminal with kiloton berths, which are approximately 3.0km and 3.5km away from the mining area respectively. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation.
Ende County has a population of about 60,000, largely constituted by Indonesians. Catholicism or Christianity is the principal religion, while part of the population believes in Islamism and Buddhism. Number of aboriginals is quite limited but with an abundant labour force.
For the purpose of social development, the government of Indonesia has formulated a series of preferential policies for attracting foreign companies to exploit its resources of various kinds.
We may say that the same geological conditions will have the same result under the same environment. Therefore, this kind of iron ore will also exist in the nearby region or in farther seashore beach, which means the potential mineral resources here could be very abundant which may give a good prospect for the group profit.

– 171 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
APPENDIX III
(a) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in income statement.
Financial assets
Superb Kings’s major financial asset is prepayments and deposits which falls within the category of loans and receivables and the accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised in income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction 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
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by Superb Kings are classified according to the substance of the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Financial liabilities including amount due to a shareholder are classified as other financial liabilities which are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Superb Kings after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by Superb Kings are record at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and Superb Kings has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in income statement.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from the balance sheet (i.e. when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in income statement.
– 172 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
APPENDIX III
(b) Impairment losses
At each balance sheet date, Superb Kings reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
(c) Income tax
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 period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods, and it further excludes income statement items that are never taxable and deductible. Superb Kings’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and the deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to income statement except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(d) Property under development
Property under development is stated at cost, less any impairment losses. Cost included construction cost, interest, finance charges and other direct cost attributable to the construction.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
(f) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when Superb Kings has a present obligation as a results of a past event, and it is probable that Superb Kings will be required to settle that obligations. Provisions are measured at the sole director’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

APPENDIX III
(g) Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
In the process of applying Superb Kings’s accounting policies which are described in Note 3, management has made certain key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period, are discussed below.
(a) Impairment of properties under development
Properties under development are included in the balance sheet with an aggregate carrying amount of HK$14,769,231. Management assessed the recoverability of these amounts based on an estimation of the net realisable value of the underlying properties which involves, inter-alia, considerable analysis of current market price of properties of a comparable standard and location, construction costs to be incurred values of the underlying properties are more or less than expected as a result of changes in market condition and/or significant variation in the budgeted development cost, material reversal of or provision for impairment losses may result.
5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management applies these policies continuously to manage and monitor these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Liquidity risk management
Superb Kings is exposed to liquidity risk if it is not able to raise sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations as its net liabilities position and net current liabilities position. The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholder of Superb Kings has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable Superb Kings to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The financial support from the shareholder will be replaced by the Company if the acquisition by the Company is successful completed.
The liquidity of Superb Kings is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate cash inflow from operations to meet its debt obligations and to obtain ongoing support from its shareholder.

5.2 Capital risk management
Superb Kings’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard Superb Kings’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital; to provide capital for the purpose of strengthening Superb Kings’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Superb Kings may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Superb Kings actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure optimal capital structure and shareholder returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of Superb Kings and capital efficiency, prevailing and projected profitability, projected operating cash flows, projected capital expenditures and projected strategic investment opportunities. Superb Kings currently does not adopt any formal dividend policy. Management regards total equity as capital, for capital management purpose.
5.3 Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and trade on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively; and
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions as input.
The sole director of Superb Kings considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the financial statements approximate to their fair values.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET OVERVIEW
Heavy mineral sands are in placer deposits which are formed most usually in beach environments[2] . Placer deposits are primarily gold, cassiterite, ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, monazite, kyanite, sillimanite, tourmaline and garnet, etc. The origin and concentration of the minerals depend on the disintegrating of rocks and landforms from which the rock particles are transported and on which they are deposited. The mineral sands are carried to deposit as a beach by waves. The waves wash back lighter sand grains and leave heavier sand grains on the beach. Over geologic time, some deposits of sand grains are formed well inland[3] . In Indonesian archipelago, especially in Java Island, rich deposits of iron sand originated from volcanic processes[4] .

APPENDIX IV
Mining Industry in Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the richest mineral resource countries in Southeast Asia. It features among ten of global leading mining industries in terms of mineral and metal potential[5] . Mineral deposits, oil and gas developments have been an important part of the Indonesian government’s plan for economic growth. Indonesia’s major mineral commodities are bauxite, cement, coal, copper, natural gas, nickel, petroleum, and tin[6] . Table 1 shows the Indonesian production of iron sand between 2003 and 2007:

The mining industry benefits the Indonesian economy. In 2007, Indonesia’s mining industry contribution to GDP raised 23%, from Rp 130.701 trillion in 2006 to Rp 160.459 trillion in 2007 (see Table 2). The mining industry contributed approximately 4% only to the total Indonesian GDP and more than 20% of revenue of Indonesian export[7] . However, the industry contributed large percentage of GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) in several Indonesian provinces including Papua, Bangka-Belitung, West Nusa Tenggara and East Kalimantan[8] .

Besides, the Indonesian Government encouraged domestic and foreign investors to invest in the Indonesian mining industry. In 2006, 13 mining projects worth US$98.5 million were brought into production and Indonesia’s export grew significantly because of the world’s high demand for mineral-resource-based products such as coal, copper, hydrocarbons, nickel, and tin, etc. Total mineral export from Indonesia increased from US$101 billion in 2006[9] to US$114.1 billion in 2007[10] .

APPENDIX IV
Increase in exploration and discovery of new mineral reserves are essential for developing the Indonesian mining industry in the long run[11] . In 2006, Indonesia’s share of mineral exploration spending around the world reduced to 1%. However, the discovery of mineral deposits in Indonesia is expected to remain highly in the future. Also, the Indonesian Government implemented some policies to encourage more mining investment. For example, the government started 110 infrastructure projects worth US$16.5 billion in 2006 to encourage domestic mining investment[12] . The Business Monitor International, specializing in an industry analysis, forecasted that the Indonesian mining industry will have an average annual growth of 5.82% from now until 2011 and will be valued at nearly US$50 billion in 2011[13] .
Demand of Iron Ore in China
China is one of the leading economic and trade countries around the world because it is a huge market with 1.3 billion of population. In 2007, China’s mineral trade accounted for 22.7% of its total trade. China was also one of the few countries affecting the global mineral market by its domestic demand and supply of commodities. According to China’s customs statistics, total trade of minerals and metals in China increased to US$494.2 billion in 2007 and increased 28.7% from that of 2006. China is rich in mineral resources and one of the global leading producers of iron and steel[14] . However, it consumes over 50% of the iron ore production[15] so China’s iron ore production have not been able to meet domestic demand and it needs to import iron ore from other countries. The amount of iron ore import to China increased from 326 million metric tons in 2006 to more than 383 million metric tons in 2007. Australia, India, Brazil, South Africa and Canada are major iron ore exporters to China[16] . Table 3 shows the imported quantity and value of iron ore to China in 2007:

Table 3 indicates that China imported 383,090,000 metric tons of iron ore in 2007, which valued at US$33,795,570. China’s demand of imported iron ore is expected to increase in the future. The research article from Research and Markets forecasted that China’s import of iron ores will increase from 275 million tons in 2005 to 540 million tons in 2010[17] .

BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT ON GOLD TRACK
APPENDIX IV
BASIS OF VALUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
We have appraised the business entity of the Company on the basis of fair value. Fair value is defined as “The amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction”.
The valuation procedures we employed were based on the requirements set by the relevant IVSC. The issues considered include, but not limited to, the following:
-
Identification and recognition of the business subject to the valuation
-
The rights, privileges, or conditions that attach to the ownership interest
-
The relative size of the ownership interest to be valued
-
The nature and prospect of the mining business
-
Past operating results of other mines in the world
-
The economic outlook and national polices that may affect the business
-
The assets, liabilities, and equity and financial condition of the business
-
The ability to generate future economic benefits and the measurability of such future economic benefits
-
The business risks related to the operation of the business
-
Extent, utility and capacity of the beaches, properties and mining equipments utilized by the business
-
The financial forecast and the Feasibility Study Report of the Company
Our investigation included site visits and discussions with the management of the Company (the “Management”) in relation to the history and nature of the business, a study of the financial forecast of the Company (the “Forecast”) and a review of the information provided by the Management. We have examined such information and have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of them, and hence have assumed that such information provided to us by the Management is true and accurate. We have also consulted statistics, related government policies, articles and other public information related to the business of the Company to supplement the information provided by the Management. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the above-mentioned information.

BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT ON GOLD TRACK
APPENDIX IV
Due to the changing environment in which the Company is operating, a number of assumptions have to be established in order to sufficiently support our concluded value of the business enterprises. The major assumptions adopted in this appraisal are:
-
There will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, and economic conditions in Indonesia, in which the Company will carry on its business;
-
There will be no major changes in the taxation law in Indonesia, that the rates of tax payable remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;
-
Exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently prevailing;
-
Industry trends and market conditions for related industries in Indonesia will not deviate significantly from project forecasts. The production of iron sand in Indonesia has decreased from 2003 to 2005 but then increased in 2006. The decreasing trend up to 2005 has caused the attention of the Indonesian Government to encourage domestic and foreign investors to invest in the Indonesian mining industry including the mining of iron sand;
-
The Feasibility Study Report and the Forecast have been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting estimates which have been arrived at after due and careful consideration;
-
The availability of finance will not be a constraint on the Company’s operation in accordance to the Feasibility Study Report and the Forecast; Both PT. Tomico Resources and PT. Kapitalindo Management will remain debt-free in the future;
– The Company has obtained all necessary permits, license, certificates and approvals to carry out mining and business operations;
– The Company has obtained the land use right certificates for the land the Company needs to occupy for its current and future operation;
-
According to the technical report, there is 80.6 million tons of iron classified as category 333 based on China’s Solid Minerals Resource Classification. We used a 50% of recovery rate in this valuation for the range of 50%-80% of recovery rate for 333 categorized resources as suggested by the China’s mining rights assessment guidance ( ), meaning a total of 40.3 million tons can be extracted from the 80.6 millions tons of resource;
-
According to our market research, the market price of iron powder ranges from US$70 to US$100 depending on the quality and origin location of the iron and whether they are future contracts or commodity. An average selling price of extracted iron would remain at US$85 per ton during the period between 2009 and 2021 according to the information provided by the Company; and
-
The Company will recruit and have competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to implement the Feasibility Study Report and the Forecast.

APPENDIX IV
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In arriving at our concluded values of the Company, we have considered three generally accepted approached, namely income approach, market approach and cost approach.
Income Approach
In the income approach, the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method will be used. In this method, the value depends on the present worth of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of equity and shareholders’ loans. Thus, an indication of value was developed by discounting future free cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for servicing shareholders’ loans to their present worth at market-derived rates of return appropriate for the risks and hazards (discount rate) associated with the comparable business.
Market Approach
In the market approach, the Guideline Publicly Traded Company (“GPTC”) method will be applied to estimate the values of the Target Companies. In this method, the value is based on prices at which stocks of similar companies are trading in a public market. A “value measure” is usually a multiple computed by dividing the price of the guideline company’s stock as of the calculation date by some relevant economic variable observed or calculated from the guideline company’s financial statements.
A major requirement in applying the GPTC method is to identify companies that are comparable to the subject company in terms of business nature and associated risks. In practice, comparable companies are selected based on the following relevant factors: (1) products, (2) markets, (3) earnings and growth, (4) capital structure, (5) nature of competition and (6) the characteristics of driving underlying investment risk and expected rate of return.
Cost Approach
This approach seeks to measure the future benefits of ownership by quantifying the amount of money that would be required to replace or reproduce the future service capability of the subject asset, less depreciation from physical deterioration, functional and economic/external obsolescence, if present and measurable. The assumption underlying this approach is that the cost to purchase or develop new property is commensurate with the economic value of the service that the property can provide during its lives. The cost approach does not directly consider the amount of economic benefits that can be achieved or the time period over which they might continue. It is an inherent assumption with this approach that economic benefits indeed exist and are of sufficient amount and duration to justify the developmental expenditures.
– 199 –
BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT ON GOLD TRACK
APPENDIX IV
Selection of Valuation Approach
In our opinion, the market approach and cost approach are inappropriate for valuing the fair values of the equity interest in the Company. First, the market approach relies heavily on data from public trading comparable companies that are revenue generating and profit making which are not the cases with the Company. Secondly, the cost approach does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the Company. Therefore, this approach often serves as a valuation floor since most companies have greater value as a going concern than they would if liquidated, i.e., the present value of future economic benefits generated by the companies usually far exceed the value arrived through the application of the cost approach.
The fair value of the equity interest in the Company was developed through the application of the income approach technique known as the Discounted Cash Flow Method. In this method, the value depends on the present worth of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of equity and shareholders’ loans. Thus, an indication of value was developed by discounting future net cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for servicing shareholders’ loans to their present worth at market-derived rates of return appropriate for the risks and hazards (discount rate) associated with the comparable business.
The Discount Rate Development
A discount rate is the expected rate of return that an investor would have to give up by investing in the subject investment instead of in available alternative investments that are comparable in terms of risk and other investment characteristics. When developing a discount rate to apply to the net cash flow, the discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) developed through the application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”). In determining an appropriate discount rate utilizing the WACC analysis, a study was made of short-term interest rates, the yields of long-term corporate and government bonds, and other alternative investment instruments, as well as the typical capital structure of the companies in the industry. WACC is the weighted sum of cost of equity and after tax cost of debt.
The cost of equity was developed using Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), a model widely used by the investment community. CAPM states that an investor requires excess returns to compensate for any risk that is correlated to the risk in the return from the stock market as a whole but requires no excess return for other risks. Risks that are correlated with the return from the stock market are referred to as systematic; other risks are referred to as non-systematic. Under CAPM, the appropriate cost of equity is the sum of the risk-free rate and the equity premium required by investors to compensate for the systematic risk assumed with adjustment for increments for risk differentials of the company being valued versus those of the comparable companies, which include adjustments for operation start-up (the “Company Specific Risk Discount”) and other risk factors in relation to the liquidity of an ownership interest (the “Discount for Lack of Marketability”).
The risk-free rate associated with the Company is the yield on bonds issued by the government of the country in which the subject company locates. Our analysis suggested that a discount rate of 35.25% is appropriate for valuing both PT. Tomico Resources and PT. Kapitalindo Management.

BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT ON GOLD TRACK
APPENDIX IV
Additional Valuation Consideration
Small Capitalization Risk Premium
Small capitalization risk premium is the excess return that an investor would demand in order to compensate for the additional risk over that of the entire stock market when investing in a small size company. This premium reflects the fact that the cost of capital increases with decreasing size of the company. A number of studies were conducted in the matured markets which conclude that the risk premium associated with a small company is over and above the amount that would be warranted just as a result of the company’s systematic risk derived from the CAPM model. We concluded that a small capitalization risk premium of 5.82% is appropriate for the Company.
Company Specific Risk Premium
The company specific risks associated with the Company are ones typically associated with a start-up business, mainly related to the successful establishment and implementation of the Business Plan. Uncertainty results from the lack of historical data to support the projected data in the Projection. To reflect the startup risk, a company specific risk premium of 3% is added in developing the discount rate.
The readers of this report should carefully consider the start-up nature of the mining business and the risks associated.
Discount for Lack of Marketability
The concept of marketability deals with the liquidity of an ownership interest, that is, how quickly and easily it can be converted to cash if the owner chooses to sell. The lack of marketability discount reflects the fact that there is no ready market for shares in a closely held corporation. Ownership interests in closely held companies are typically not readily marketable compared to similar interests in public companies. Therefore, a share of stock in a privately held company is usually worth less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly held company.
A number of empirical studies were conducted in an attempt to determine average levels of discounts for lack of marketability. These studies all fall into one of two basic categories, depending on the type of market transaction data on which they are based:
-
Restricted (“letter”) stock studies.
-
Studies of transactions in closely held stocks prior to initial public offerings (pre-IPOs).
In this case, a lack of marketability discount of 30% is deemed to be reasonable for the Company.

APPENDIX IV
Sensitivity Analysis
We have identified the discount rate as the variable in our model whose sensitivity on the fair value of the Company is being tested. Our conclusion of the fair value of the Company increases from HK$521.6 million to HK$568.0 million as the discount rate decreases from 36.25% to 34.25% for PT. Tomico Resources and PT. Kapitalindo Management.
CONCLUSION OF VALUE
Based upon the investigation and analysis outlined above and on the appraisal method employed, it is our opinion that as of 31 March 2009 the fair value of the Company is reasonably stated by the amount of HONG KONG DOLLAR FIVE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR MILLION AND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (HK$544,100,000) ONLY .
This appraisal was performed in accordance with the International Valuation Standards issued by IVSC and generally accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely extensively on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. We have not investigated the title to or any liabilities against the property appraised.
This appraisal has been prepared solely for the purpose stated herein. This appraisal report should not be referred to, in whole or part, or quoted in any document, circular or statement in any manner, or distributed in whole or in part or copied to any party without our prior written consent.

III. Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets
Under HKFRS 3 Business Combination (“HKFRS 3”) the Group will apply the purchase method to account for the acquisition of Gold Track Group. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Gold Track Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair value at the date of Completion. Any goodwill or discount arising on the acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficits of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Gold Track Group at the date of Completion. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combination should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
- On 1 September 2008, the Group entered into a loan agreement of US$1,000,000 with Gold Track which the Group is entitled to capitalize the loan and interest accrued thereon into not less than 51% of the share capital of Gold Track as enlarged by the allotment and issue of additional shares to the Group.
In accordance with the Hong Kong Accounting Standands 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the convertible loans should be separated as liability portion and equity portion. In preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, the fair value of the liability portion and equity portion of convertible loans approximately HK$7,090,909 and HK$416,712 respectively has taken its fair value at 31 December 2008. The fair value of the liability portion of the convertible loans was calculated on the discounted cash flow method.
The pro forma adjustment represents the elimination of intercompany balances of the convertible loans entered between the Group and Gold Track as if the Acquisition was completed on 31 December 2008.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX V
- Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and Supplemental Agreement, Gold Track has conditionally agree to allot and issue 11,739 shares of Gold Track with par value of US$1 each on the actual date of Completion (representing approximately 54% of the enlarged share capital of Gold Track) to the Group in consideration of the Group capitalizing the loan of US$1,000,000 (and interest accrued thereon) due from Gold Track to the Group.
The purchase consideration HK$8,020,384 would be settled by capitalizing the loan of US$1,000,000 (and interest accrued thereon) due from Gold Track to the Group.
- On 1 September 2008, the Group entered into a loan agreement of US$1,000,000 with Gold Track which the Group is entitled to capitalize the loan and interest accrued thereon into not less than 51% of the share capital of Gold Track as enlarged by the allotment and issue of additional shares to the Group. As Gold Track owns 95% of PT. Tomico and PT. Tomico has 100% indirect and beneficial interest in PT. Kapitalindo by share pledge arrangement, and thus after the completion of the Acquisition, the Group also has 51.3% share holdings in PT. Tomico and PT. Kapitalindo.
Gold Track Group are, therefore, considered by the Directors as subsidiaries of the Group because both of them will be controlled by the Group after the completion of the Acquisition. The balance sheet of both companies will be consolidated with that the Group from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
Upon the completion of the Acquisiton, Gold Track Group are accounted as subsidiaries of the Company, the exploration and evaluation assets was transferred to the Group. Upon acquisition, the Group will adjust the net assets of Gold Track Group to its fair value by reference to a valuation performed by an independent valuer, Grant Sherman Apprisal Limited. Up to 31 March 2009, the fair value of net assets of Gold Track Group amounted to HK$544,100,000 as set out in Appendix IV. The fair value adjustment amounted to HK$537,392,745 according to the valuation report as at 31 March 2009 and the revaluation of exploration and evaluation assets amounted to HK$539,641,120. Shareholders should note that the fair value adjustment may be subject to change upon completion of the Acquisition.
Gain on business combination of HK$285,793,616 arising from the Acquisition of Gold Track, which is derived from the calculation as follow:
| HK$ | |
|---|---|
| Fair value of net assets of Gold Track Group | 293,814,000 |
| Gain on business combination | (285,793,616) |
| Total consideration | 8,020,384 |
| Satisfied by: | |
| Interest income receivable | 224,384 |
| Convertible loans | 7,796,000 |
| 8,020,384 | |
The gain on business combination of HK$285,793,616 is the excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of Gold Track Group’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition. The whole amount of the excess HK$285,793,616 should be recognised immediately in profit or loss.
