CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Such Indonesian legal opinion has also covered the validlity and legality of the exploration licence, the Exploitation Licence and the mineral resources export licence held by P.T. Multi, as well as some basic corporate information of the Indonesian companies of the Target Group (including but not limited to the issues on due incorporation, the current composition of the board, the powers of the company, the contents of the memorandum and articles of association).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The audited net assets of P.T. ACME as at 30 September 2009 were approximately HK$1,645,000.
P.T. Multi
P.T. Multi is a company incorporated in Indonesia on 30 June 2004 with limited liability and whose entire issued share capital is beneficially owned as to 50% by P.T. Setia Kawan Minerals and as to 50% by P.T. Guna Mitra Jasa as at the Latest Practicable Date. After completion of the Acquisition, the entire issued share capital of each of P.T.

Multi as a result of the share pledge arrangement or after Completion. As P.T. Multi has already obtained the Exploitation Licence, it will be principally engaged in mining and exploitation of mineral resources, instead of exploration. P.T. Multi has been carrying works to clear up the mining site and building certain basic infrastructure so as to ensure that the mining activities can be carried out smoothly in future. The Company confirms that there will not be any “exploration” of assets in the Mine, and the Target Group will be principally engaged in “exploitation”.
The audited net liabilities value of P.T. Multi as at 30 September 2009 was approximately HK$$3,400,000.
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As the Target Company and P.T. ACME are principally engaged in investment holding since their incorporation in May 2008 and February 2009 respectively, they have no substantial operations and therefore have not recorded any turnover or profits since incorporation. For P.T. Multi, it mainly focused on carrying out exploration works and preliminary works for ensuring smooth mining operations in the past two financial years. As such, it has not recorded any turnover. The audited financial results of the P.T. Multi for the past two financial years are as follows:
For the year ended For the year ended 31 December 2007 31 December 2008 (audited) (audited) Turnover HK$0 HK$0 Losses before tax about HK$1,298,000 about HK$1,501,000 Losses after tax about HK$1,298,000 about HK$1,501,000
Upon Completion, the Target Company will be beneficially owned as to 54% by the Purchaser, 14% by the Vendor and 32% by Mr. Chan Ping Che. As the Company will be beneficially interested in approximately 51% of the equity interest of each of P.T. ACME, and P.T. Multi, all members of the Target Group will be subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company after Completion.
According to the valuation provided by the independent professional valuer (details of which is included in the appendix V to this circular), the value of 100% interest in the Target Company as at 30 September 2009 was estimated to be HK$310 million.
INFORMATION ON THE MINE
The Mine is located in Padang, Sumatra, Indonesia with an aggregate mining area of 44.38 hectares. Its major mineral resources are iron.
According to the feasibility report issued by an affiliated company of the Vendor, the amount of iron resources present in the Mine is estimated to be approximately 6.417 million tonnes, 3.067 million tonnes out of which is classified as grade “332” and 3.350 million tones out of which is classified as grade “333” according to Australasian JORC Code. Grade “332” resources are indicated resources but having intrinsic economic interest based on a geographical study. Grade “333” resources are inferred resources but having intrinsic economic interest and reasonable prospect for exploitation. The Group has prepared a more in-depth technical report and include the same in the appendix IV to this circular for Shareholders’ information.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
P.T. Multi has already obtained the Exploiation Licence, pursuant to which P.T. Multi can exploit the iron resources at the Mine. Details of the Exploitation Licence are as follows:
| Mining area | ||
|---|---|---|
| Holder of the exploitation licence | (hectares) | Expiry date |
| P.T. Multi | 44.38 | 30 October 2015 (which |
| is subject to extension) |
REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
The Company is principally engaged in providing services to assist clients on various business or management issues, providing computer hardware and software services, operating hotel business in the Philippines, as well as minerals mining in Indonesia. It is always the Group’s objective to seek new business projects to enhance the financial performance of the Group.
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 high in the foreseeable future with regard to the signs of the gradual recovery of the global economy, it is expected that the price of iron will rise. The production capacity of the Target Group will be likely to increase gradually after commencement of operations, it is expected that the profit margin will increase due to the economy of scale. Moreover, as expenses have been incurred for building certain basic infrastructure for the mining operations and obtaining the Exploitation Licence, the expenditure of the Target Group is not expected to substantially increase. Therefore, the Acquisition will enable the Company to participate in a potentially profitable business.
In July 2009, the Group has completed its first acquisition of a mining business in Indonesia. The Group will in future focus on developing the mining business in Indonesia. It is expected that a synergy effect can be created by the Acquisition, as the Group has already put in substantial resources in this business in Indonesia. After review of the technical report on the Mine, the Board considers that the iron resources of the Mine will be commercially viable to be exploited.
Taking into account of the market potentials of the businesses of the Target Group, the possible earnings contribution of the Target Group to the Group in the future, and the synergy effect, the Directors consider that the Acquisition can broaden the Group’s income base and improve its financial performance. However, the Group will continue its current business after Completion.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES
The Acquisition constitutes a major transaction 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, the Vendor 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). The Vendor is therefore regarded as a connected person of the Company and the Acquisition is regarded as a connected transaction under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTION
Upon Completion, each member of the Target Group will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its accounts will be consolidated into the Group. The Group had an unaudited net assets value of approximately HK$1,091 million as at 30 September 2009. According to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as disclosed in the appendix III to this circular, assuming the Acquisition took place on 30 September 2009, the total assets of the Group will increase to approximately HK$1,619 million, while the total liabilities of the Group will increase as well to approximately HK$294 million. Given the prospects of the Target Group and the Target Group has already incurred preliminary expenses for mining operations, it is expected that the earnings of the Group will increase.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
Regarding the provision of computer system and related services in relation to the computer software solution and services, hotel service, mining and others, the Board is of the view that the performance is promising and it will greatly improve the Group’s financial position. For the current financial year, the international financial market was still seriously affected by the financial crisis due to the United States home loan market. Though the global financial tsunami had caused an adverse effect on consumer spending and investment atmosphere, it seems that the economy of Hong Kong is recovering. Following the acquisition of Loyal King Investments Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Loyal King Group”), the Group is able to explore into the development of entertainment and gaming activities. With the strong and competent information technology staff of the Loyal King Group, the Group is able to increase its market share in the gaming market and improve its financial position by increasing revenue and profit.
The operation of the resort hotel in Cagayan, the Philippines is very stable now and it gives a reasonable return to the Group in the current financial year. The Board is optimistic about the prospect of the hotel and tourism business in Cagayan Valley of the Philippines as the demand for accommodations and entertainment facilities will continue to grow in the near future.
Concerning the mining business in Indonesia, the Board considers that Indonesia has abundant resources to be discovered and explored. After the acquisition of Gold Track Mining and Resources Limited, the Board considers that it has obtained the experience and knowledge in discovery of the natural resources.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Under the present condition of the investment environment, the Board will pay more attention to projects which can generate stable income to the Group. The Board currently considers that it will focus on the development on the mining business in Indonesia, as the prospect is the most promising among all business segments. The Group will continue to look for investment opportunities in Indonesian mining business. If suitable opportunities arise, the Board may consider disposing some other assets so as to reallocate its resources for development of the mining business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not identified any new acquisition opportunities and has not developed any acquisition plans. The Board also expects that transfer of listing from GEM to Main Board in coming future while the company has fulfilled all the conditions.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE TARGET GROUP
Indonesia is exceptionally rich in mining resources and the government’s policy of opening the market is favourable to foreign developers. In addition, the low production cost, low operation expenditure and cheap labour further facilitates the mining operation. All of them are advantageous to the future development of Target Group. Given the demand for iron is likely to increase due to the needs of the developing countries, the Target Group should be able to benefit from both low costs and higher selling prices.
The Target Group’s ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an easy, efficient and effective exploitation work. There is an established transportation network including a highway which makes it easy to transport iron ore from the Target Group’s mining area to the port. The port is about 92km away from the Target Group’s iron mine. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation. The Directors are optimistic about the profitability of the Target Group. It is expected that the Target Group will be able to contribute profits to the Group in the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, P.T. Multi has also obtained the exploitation permit for a neighboring iron mine in August 2004. However, the potential resources of this neighboring iron mine is not yet determined and it is currently considered to be of no economic value by the Directors. The Group will not develop and exploit such neighboring mine. Also, the exploitation permit for such mine will soon expire in October 2010 and the Group will not apply for renewal of such permit.
The Directors note that the reporting accountants have issued a modified opinion regarding the uncertainty relating to the Target Company and P.T. Multi as a going concern (details of which is included in appendix II to this circular). During the financial year ended 31 March 2009 and the six-month period ended 30 September 2009, the Target Group funded its operations mainly from cash advanced by shareholders and related companies. Nonetheless, the Directors are confident that the Target Group will soon commence operations and generate financial resources to meet its obligations and liabilities. Based on the financial forecast made by the Company for preparation of the valuation report attached in appendix V hereto (which have been reviewed by the Board and the reporting accountants), the net profit for P.T. ACME and P.T. Multi for the year ended 31 December 2010 is HK$171,461,000 and HK$25,354,000 respectively. In addition, the shareholders of the Target Group have expressed their intention to continue their financial support to the Target Group and not to request repayment of the amount due to them until such time as the Target Group is in position to repay the amount

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
without impairing its financial position/trading capabilities. The Company intends to give continuous financial support to the Target Group after completion of acquisition.
Moreover, the Directors consider that the financial statements of the Company will not be qualified due to the going concern problem after the completion of the proposed Acquisition because the net liabilities of Target Group is immaterial compared to the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Company of HK$1,091,124,360 as at 30 September 2009.
RISK FACTORS
Possible risk factors which may be faced by the Company are as follows:
Continuous capital investment
The mining business requires significant and continuous capital investment. The mine exploitation 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. The Company has currently planned to incur approximately HK$2,100,000 in aggregate for developing the business of the Mine and the Target Group for the years 2009 and 2010. Such funds will be applied for purchase of necessary machinery for mining. Afterwards, it is expected that no more capital expenditure will be incurred for the Mine and the Target Group.
Share Pledge Arrangements
Although the Indonesian legal adviser opines that the share pledge arrangements of PT. ACME for controlling PT Multi (which is the main operating company and the company holding the exploitation license) are not contrary to current Indonesian laws and regulations and the Board considers that such share pledge arrangements are common for investing in restricted industries in various countries like PRC and Indonesia, there can be no assurance that (i) these contractual arrangements will be accepted by the relevant Indonesian government authorities or courts to be valid and legal in case there are disputes arising with the government or others; or (ii) that the Indonesian government authorities will not in the future interpret existing laws, regulations or policies, or issue new laws, regulations or policies, with the result that all or some of these share pledge arrangements would be deemed to be in violation of Indonesian laws. Any such determination that these contractual arrangements are not in compliance with Indonesian laws, regulations, rules or policies, or any new interpretations or newly issued laws, regulations, rules or policies could result in the Group being required to restructure its organizational structure and operations and, thus, may result in disruption of our business, diversion of management attention and the incurrence of substantial costs.
Policies and regulations
The new business is subject to extensive local 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 the local 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. For example, the Company will be subject to Indonesian national environmental laws and regulations on matters such as air emission, solid waste emission, discharge of sewage and pollutants, noise pollution, land reclamation and mining control. The mining company will be required to obtain and procure the obtaining of all the material environmental licenses, permits or approvals which are relevant to its business operations under the Indonesia laws. The mining company must also conduct reclamation, which is an activity performed with objective to restore or repair the disrupted area caused by mining activity to enable such area into its original usage plan. This activity is performed after the mine closure. To ensure such reclamation activity will be done, the mining company is obliged to provide a guarantee of reclamation as approved by relevant government officials.
EGM
Set out on pages 362 to 363 of this circular is a notice convening the EGM which will be held at 22/F, The Pemberton, 22-26 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong at 4 p.m. on Friday, 19 February 2010 at which resolutions will be proposed to approve, among others, the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Independent Shareholders’ approval is required for the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As at the Latest Practicable Date, though the Vendor is not holding any Shares, Mr. Cheng Ting Kong and his associates are beneficially interested in 140,000,000 Shares (representing approximately 16.82% of the entire issued Shares). Moreover, the Target Company is currently beneficially owned as to 68% by the Vendor and 32% by Mr. Chan Ping Che (who is beneficially interested in 50% of Premier United Limited, which in turn is holding 95,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 11.42% of the entire issued Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date. Upon Completion, Mr. Chan Ping Che will still be beneficially interested in 32% of the Target Company.

On 16 October 2009, the Purchaser (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and the Vendor entered into the Acquisition Agreement.

LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
We have not studied, investigated nor verified the validity of all legal aspects of, and procedural aspects for, the Acquisition Agreement and the relevant legalities of the mining services agreement (“Mining Services Agreement”) and mineral sale agreement (“Mineral Sale Agreement”) as mentioned in the Letter. We have assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents, rights, waivers, authorizations, licenses, clearances and approvals necessary for the effectiveness and implementation of the Acquisition Agreement, Mining Service Agreement and Mineral Sale Agreement have been or will be obtained and will not be withdrawn without any adverse effect on the Group, the assets and liabilities of the Group or the contemplated benefits to the Group as derived from the Acquisition Agreement, Mining Service Agreement and Mineral Sale Agreement.

Our opinion does not in any manner address the Company’s own decision to proceed with the Acquisition. We disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the opinion expressed herein which may come or be brought to our attention after the Latest Practicable Date.
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In arriving at our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition Agreement, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:
(1) Financial performance of the Group, reason for the Acquisition and the global demand for iron
Financial performance of the Group
The Company is principally engaged in providing services to assist clients on various business or management issues, providing computer hardware and software services, operating hotel business in the Philippines, as well as minerals mining in Indonesia. In July 2009, the Group has completed its first acquisition of a mining business in Indonesia (“Previous Acquisition”). The details of the Previous Acquisition were set out in the Company’s announcements dated 5 September 2008 and 31 October 2008 and the Company’s circular dated 22 June 2009.
Set out below is a summary of the audited financial information of the Group for the three years ended 31 March 2009 and the unaudited consolidated income statement of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2009 and 2008 which extracted from the relevant annual reports and the interim reports of the Company respectively.

Note: For reference purpose, the auditors of the Company had issued opinion of fundamental uncertainty relating to the going concern basis for the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 due to the liquidity problem of the Company.
For the year ended 31 March 2009, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$181.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 350% when compared to the turnover of approximately HK$40.4 million in 2008. The increase was mainly due to the revenue generated from the computer programming business and hotel business, of which were acquired in 2008 and their results were included in the financial year of 2009. Accordingly, the profit attributable to the Shareholders has increased from profit of approximately HK$2.4 million in 2008 to profit of approximately HK$30.1 million in 2009.
As stated in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2009 (the “2009 Interim Report”), the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$88.6 million for the six month ended 30 September 2009, representing a decrease of 9% when compared to that in the corresponding period in 2008. However, the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2009 was approximately HK$203.2 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$181.9 million or approximately 848% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2008. According to the 2009 Interim Report, the substantial increase in the profit figure was mainly due to the gain in bargain purchase as result of the Previous Acquisition.
Reason for the Acquisition
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.
– 24 –
LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
As stated in the Letter, the Board considers that the demand for iron is high in the foreseeable future with regard to the signs of the gradual recovery of the global economy. Based on the technical report set out in the Appendix IV to the Circular, the Board considers that the iron resources of the Mine will be commercially viable to be exploited.
In July 2009, the Group has completed the Previous Acquisition which involves the iron mining business in Indonesia. The Directors consider that a synergy effect can be created by the Acquisition as the Group has already put in substantial resource in the iron mining business in Indonesia. As expenses have been incurred for building certain basic infrastructure for the mining operations and obtaining the Exploitation Licence, the expenditure of the Target Group is not expected to substantially increase.
Taking into account of the market potentials of the businesses of the Target Group, the possible earnings contribution of the Target Group to the Group in the future, and the synergy effect, the Directors consider that the Acquisition can broaden the Group’s income base and improve its financial performance.
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 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 in year 2009, with an annual growth of 38% when compared with previous year. Based on a publication named “China industry research and investment analysis: Iron ore mining industry 2008”, China consumes over 50% of the iron ore production in China, so China’s iron ore production have not been able to meet domestic demand and it needs to import iron ore form 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 an independent review on the demand of iron in China. Based on our research from China Customs, China imported a total amount of HK$190.9 billions of iron and steel in 2008, representing an increase of 6.34% from 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.

LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
As advised by the Directors, the target customers of the Target Group will be mainly from the PRC. As such, the Directors consider that the high demand for iron in the PRC will also be beneficial to the development and operation of the Target Group even though the Mine is located in the Indonesia.
Conclusion
Having considered (i) the reason of the Acquisition; and (ii) the global demand for iron as set out in the previous paragraphs, we are of the view that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to further invest into its mining business in Indonesia which may enhance the financial performance of the Group as a result. On the above basis, we concur with the Directors that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
(2) The key terms of the Acquisition Agreement
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase the Sale Shares (being 5,400 issued shares of the Target Company, representing approximately 54% of its entire issued share capital) and the Sale Loan (being all the debts, obligations and liabilities owed by the Target Company to the Vendor as at Completion, representing 50% of the debts owed by the Target Company to its shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date).

P.T. Multi is principally engaged in mining of iron ore resources and sale of mineral properties. The Board does not expect that there will be any change of management of P.T Multi as a result of the share pledge arrangement or after Completion. As P.T. Multi has already obtained the Exploitation Licence, it will be principally engaged in mining and exploitation of mineral resources, instead of exploration. P.T. Multi has been carrying works to clear up the mining site and building certain basic infrastructure so as to ensure that the mining activities can be carried out smoothly in future.
Mining Services Agreement
As mentioned in condition (viii) of the paragraph headed “Conditions” in the Letter, Completion is conditional upon P.T. ACME having entered into the Mining Services Agreement with P.T. Multi, under which P.T. ACME will provide mining and exploration and other related services to P.T. Multi. Such agreement will be valid throughout the terms of the Exploitation Licence granted to P.T. Multi.
According to the Directors, it is intended that P.T. ACME will undertake all expenditure in relation to the exploitation and will recover its costs by charging P.T. Multi a mining services fee which represents the actual cost of mining plus a margin to ensure that P.T. ACME will earn a reasonable return. Moreover, P.T. ACME will provide sales services, including soliciting potential customers of the iron ores.
Mineral Sale Agreement
As mentioned in condition (ix) of the paragraph headed “Conditions” in the Letter, Completion is conditional upon P.T. ACME having entered into the Mineral Sales Agreement with P.T. Multi, under which P.T. ACME will procure buyers for the iron resources exploited from the Mine. Such agreement will be valid throughout the term of the Exploitation Licence granted to P.T. Multi. It is intended that P.T. ACME will procure international buyers of the iron resources.
The mineral sale agreement will enable the Group to have a relatively steady supply of the mineral resources, which will be further sold by the Group at a higher price. According to the Directors, it is expected that the Group will generate satisfactory revenue and profits from trading of such mineral resources.

Loan agreement and share pledge
As mentioned in condition (x) of the paragraph headed “Conditions” in the Letter, Completion is conditional upon the current Indonesian shareholders of P.T. Multi having entered into a loan agreement (under which a certain sum will be borrowed by such Indonesian shareholder) with P.T. ACME. The exact sum to be agreed is US$2,907,500. It is intended that the loan is for a term of 5 years or the valid period of the Exploitation Licence, whichever is shorter. Unless consent is given by P.T. ACME, no prepayment of any part of the loan initiated by the Indonesian shareholders will be permitted. The loan will bear an interest of 5% per annum.
In return, the Indonesian shareholders of P.T. Multi will provide a security of such loan, by pledging all the shares in P.T. Multi to P.T. ACME. Such pledge of shares will be discharged upon full settlement of the loan due to the lender. According to the legal advisors of the Company as to Indonesian laws, such share pledge arrangement shall be legal, valid and in compliance with the existing Indonesian laws, rules and regulations. As the shares of P.T. Multi are pledged to P.T. ACME under the share charges, P.T. ACME will have an indirect equitable or beneficial interest in the entire issued shares of P.T. Multi under Indonesian laws.
Indonesian legal opinion
As mentioned in condition (iv) of the paragraph headed “Conditions” in the Letter, Completion is conditional upon obtaining a satisfactory legal opinion issued by an Indonesian lawyer in relation to the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As stated in the finalized Indonesian legal opinion obtained by the Group before the Latest Practicable Date, due to the restrictions of the Indonesian laws, foreign entities are not permitted to directly hold any interest in P.T. Multi, the Indonesian company which holds the Exploitation Licence. As such, the Mining Services Agreement, Mineral Sales Agreement are entered into so as to enable the Group (as enlarged by the Target Company and P.T. ACME) can obtain revenue by providing advisory services to P.T. Multi on mining operations, while the loan agreement and the share pledge are entered into so as to provide funding for P.T. Multi for its daily operations and to consolidate the results of P.T. Multi into the Company’s financial statements. The finalized Indonesian legal opinion has also covered the legality and validity of the loan agreement and share pledge to be signed by the Indonesian shareholders of P.T. Multi, the Mineral Sale Agreement and the Mining Services Agreement. In particular, the Indonesian legal advisers to the Company has opined that the loan agreement and the share pledge, as well as the Mineral Sale Agreement and the Mining Services Agreement, are made in compliance with Indonesian laws, rules and regulations, and so they are legal and valid. Such Indonesian legal opinion has also covered the validlity and legality of the exploration licence, the Exploitation Licence and the mineral resources export licence held by P.T. Multi, as well as some basic corporate

information of the Indonesian companies of the Target Group (including but not limited to the issues on due incorporation, the current composition of the board, the powers of the company, the contents of the memorandum and articles of association).
Option deed
As mentioned in condition (xi) of the paragraph headed “Conditions” in the Letter, Completion is conditional upon the current Indonesian shareholders of P.T. Multi having entered into an option deed with P.T. ACME. Under this deed, the current shareholders of P.T. Multi will grant a call option to P.T. ACME, pursuant to which P.T. ACME could purchase all the issued shares in P.T. Multi, if there is a change of Indonesian laws to the effect that foreign-owned companies can directly hold the entire beneficial interest of an Indonesian company which holds an exploitation licence for an iron mine.
Information on the Mine
The Mine is located in Padang, Sumatra, Indonesia with an aggregate mining area of 44.38 hectares. The Mine is 92km distant from Padang City with good accessibility.
We refer to the technical report on the Mine (“Technical Report”) performed by SRK Consulting China Limited (“Technical Adviser”) as set out in the Appendix IV to the Circular. The Technical Report has been prepared, or is considered by the Technical Adviser to be, an independent technical report under the guidelines of the Valmin Code. The Valmin Code incorporates the JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) Code, an Australasian code for the reporting of mineral Resources and ore reserves.
According to the Technical Report, the Mine is estimated to have 3,067,000 tons indicated iron resources and 3,350,000 tons inferred iron resources as measured by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code.
We would like to remind the Independent Shareholders that the iron reserves of the Mine may not conform to the estimates level as stated in the Technical Report performed by the Technical Adviser. Any failure in discovering iron or in attaining commercial production may adversely affect the investment return of the Acquisition, 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 Acquisition disclosed in the paragraph headed “Risk Factors” in the Letter.

Consideration and business valuation
The Consideration is HK$76.5 million, which will be satisfied by the Purchaser in the following manner:
-
(i) as to HK$5 million shall be paid by the Purchaser in cash to the Vendor upon Completion; and
-
(ii) as to HK$71.5 million shall be satisfied by the Purchaser procuring the Company to issue the Promissory Note upon Completion.
The Consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Acquisition Agreement after taking into account, among others, the business prospects of the Target Group, the possible contribution to the Group from the proceeds generated from exploitation of the Mineral Resources at the Mine, the potentially growing demand for iron resources in the future, and the synergetic effect brought on the current Indonesian mining business of the Group after the completion of the Acquisition.
The Promissory Note is unsecured, zero coupon interest with maturity at 12 months from the date of the Completion.
Other than the issue of Promissory Notes, the Directors had considered the equity financing and other debt financing methods to finance the Acquisition. As compared to the issue of the Promissory Note directly to the Vendor, the Directors consider that the equity financing and other debt financing methods would be subject to a lengthy negotiation process and the due diligence practice. Besides, the equity financing methods will inevitably have dilution effects to the existing Shareholders and the debt financing methods would probably incur interest expenses for the Company. Given the Promissory Note is interest-free, the Directors consider that the issue of the Promissory Note are the most cost efficient and beneficial way to financing the Acquisition as they save the costs of borrowing and eliminate the burden of the Company arising through the usage of cash. We concur with the Directors’ view in this regard.
According to the business valuation report in respect of the fair value of a 100% equity interest in the business entity of Target Company prepared by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited (the “Valuer”), the text of which is set out in Appendix V to the Circular (“Valuation Report”), the fair value of 100% equity interest in the business entity of Target Company as at 30 September 2009 is HK$310 million.
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 note that the Valuer used a 100% of recovery rate and a 70% of recovery rate for 3,067,000 tons indicated iron
– 31 –
LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
resources and 3,350,000 tons inferred iron resources respectively, and an average selling price of extracted iron at US$75 per ton for 52% to 57% iron and US$90 per ton for 63.5% iron during the period from 2009 to 2014.
As suggested by the Valuer and according to the China’s mining rights assessment guidance ( ), 100% recovery rate should be adopted for the indicated resources and a range of 50% to 80% should be adopted for the inferred resources.
Regarding the average selling price of iron at US$75 per ton for 52% to 57% iron and US$90 per ton for 63.5% iron, apart from reviewing the market data provided by the Company, we have conducted our market research and found that the market price of iron ore in the PRC was is ranged from approximately US$ 48 to US$118 per ton for 52% to 57% iron and approximately US$132.6 per ton for 63.5% iron. Based on the above, we therefore consider that the average selling price of iron adopted by the Valuer to be fair and reasonable.
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 Target Company 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 Target 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 Target Company. Secondly, the cost approach does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by Target 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.
We have discussed with the Valuer regarding the basis for estimating the net cash flow from the business of Target Company 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 100% of recovery rate and a 70% of recovery rate for 3,067,000 tons indicated iron resources and 3,350,000 tons inferred iron resources is projected to the year of 2014.
– 32 –
LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
We have been advised that the discount rate applied to the Net Cash Flow is based on a weight average cost of capital (“WACC”) 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 (“Additional Premium”). 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 Target Company 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 Target Company 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 iron mine and cost structure of setting up mining operation are different and the Target Group has not yet commenced mining work, we consider it is impracticable to compare the consideration of the Acquisition with the 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 Target Company as at 30 September 2009 is HK$310 million and 54% of Target Company to be acquired by the Group under the Acquisition is approximately HK$167.4 million, which is significantly higher than the consideration of the Acquisition, i.e. approximately HK$76.5 million, we are of the view that the consideration for the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
(3) Risk Factors
We would like to remind the Independent Shareholders that there are uncertainties associated with the Acquisition notwithstanding the potential benefits. Independent Shareholders are advised to pay attention on the paragraph headed “Risk Factors” in the Letter which covers the continuous capital investment by the Group, the share pledge arrangement, the policies and regulations in where the iron mine located and the environment protection policies to be adopted by Target Group.
– 33 –
LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
In addition, we consider that there are also uncertainties and business risks associated with the Acquisition including (i) the commercial marketability of the iron and the time as to when the iron mine will commence operation; and (ii) the possible impact of investment loss to the Group in the event of failure to develop the iron 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 Acquisition 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.
However, taking into the accounts that (i) the Group has similar mining operation in the Indonesia and (ii) the potential benefits to the Group from the Acquisition as discussed in the previous paragraph headed “Reason for the Acquisition”, we consider that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole despite the potential risks attached to the business of the Target Group as mentioned above and in the Letter.
(4) Financial effect of the Acquisition
Upon Completion, members of the Target Group will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and its accounts will be consolidated into the Group. According to the 2009 Interim Report of the Company, the Group had an unaudited total assets and total liabilities of approximately HK$1,267.4 million and HK$176.3 million respectively as at 30 September 2009. According to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as disclosed in Appendix III to the Circular, assuming the Acquisition took place on 30 September 2009, the total assets of the Group would increase to approximately HK$1,619.0 million and the total liabilities of the Group would also increase to approximately HK$294.4 million. As such, the net assets value will increase from approximately HK$1,091.1 million to approximately HK$1,324.6 million.
According to the audited financial information of the Target Group as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the Target Group recorded a loss of approximately HK$2.1 million since its incorporation. Since Target Group has not yet commenced its mining operation, the Directors consider that there will not be any material impact on the current profitability of the Group upon the Completion.
Based on the substantial increase in net assets value as represented above, we consider that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as whole.
– 34 –
LETTER FROM GRAND CATHAY
RECOMMENDATION
Taking into account the factors and reasons as mentioned above, we are of the opinion that (i) the business of the Target Group is in the ordinary and usual course of the Group as iron mining is one of the principal activities of the Group; (ii) the Acquisition Agreement is 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 Acquisition Agreement to be proposed at the EGM.
Irrespective of the above, we would remind the Independent Shareholders that there are uncertainties associated with the Acquisition 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 Acquisition 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 Wong Director Vice President

The adoption of HKFRS 3 (Revised) may affect the accounting for business combination for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009. HKAS 27 (Revised) will affect the accounting treatment for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control, which will be accounted for as equity transactions. The Group is in the process of assessing the potential impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether these new HKFRSs will have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. These new HKFRSs may result in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the HKICPA, and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
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.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which are the entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities.
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 presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests in the net assets 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 business 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
– 46 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKRFS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal) groups that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, 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 consolidated income statement.
The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets and contingent liabilities recognised.
(d) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the 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.
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) Investment 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 or 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 for the period in which the item is derecognised.

APPENDIX I-A
(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 used 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 consolidated income statement in the year which the item is derecognised.
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 consolidated income. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings.
(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 consolidated balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified into 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.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset 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 and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premium or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, bank balances and cash) are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted

APPENDIX I-A
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 profit or loss 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.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
(ii) default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
(iii) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that are correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, 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.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
– 49 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the asset of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified into other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Effective interest method
The effect 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.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities including accruals and other payables, amount due to a director and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
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 the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Financial liabilities are derecognised 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 the consolidated income statement.
(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 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
All borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
(k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
– 50 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
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 the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable and deductible. The Group’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 amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements 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 deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, and 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 goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax 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 realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to consolidated 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.
(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 consolidated 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.
The Group as lessee
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the consolidated income statement 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.
– 51 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
(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 (foreign currencies) are recorded in its 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 income statement in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in 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 presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate 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 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.
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.

APPENDIX I-A
(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
A party is considered to be related to the Group if:
-
(i) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (a) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (b) has an interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (c) has joint control over the Group;
-
(ii) the party is an associate;
-
(iii) the party is a jointly-controlled entity;
-
(iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or its parent;
-
(v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);
-
(vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or
-
(vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Group.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies which are described in note 3, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 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.
Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
The followings are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Impairment loss in respect of trade receivables
The policy for impairment loss in respect of trade receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of
– 53 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Investment properties
As described in note 17, investment properties were stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by independent professional valuers. In determining the fair value, the valuers have based on method of valuation which involves certain estimates. In relying on the valuation report, the management has exercised their judgement and are satisfied that the method of valuation is reflective of the current market conditions. Should there are changes in assumptions due to change of market conditions, the fair value of the investment properties will change in future.
Impairment of goodwill
The Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of goodwill in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3(d). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units are 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.

The Group’s major financial instruments include borrowings, trade receivables, bank balances and cash. 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.
There has been no change to the Group’s risk exposure relating to financial instruments or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.
Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
The majority of the Group’s monetary assets and monetary liabilities by value and the rental income are denominated in Hong Kong dollars (HK$), Renminbi (“RMB”) and the Philippines Peso (“PESO”). The conversion of RMB into other currencies is subjected to he rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the government of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in respect of exchange fluctuation of HK$ against RMB & PESO. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign current assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Hong Kong dollars against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit where the relevant currencies strengthen 5% against the Hong Kong dollars. For a 5% weakening of the relevant currencies against the Hong Kong dollars, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and the balances below would be negative.

| Impact of PESO | |||||
| Profit or loss | 99,249 | – | |||
| Impact of RMB | |||||
| Profit or loss | 23,315 | – | |||
(ii) Cash flow Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal as the Group had no material fixed rate financial liabilities as at 31 March 2009. At 31 March 2008, the Group’s fair value interest rate risk mainly attributable to its Hong Kong dollar dominated variable-rate borrowings (note 27) that concentrated on the fluctuation of HIBOR.
The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.
Sensitivity analysis
As at 31 March 2009 and 2008, a reasonably possible change of 50 basis-points interest rates on borrowing would have no material impact of the Group’s results for the year.

APPENDIX I-A
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 2009 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets are the carrying amount of those asset as stated in the consolidated balance sheet. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, 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 consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate bank deposits and cash, monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The liquidity risk is under continuous monitoring by management. Reports with maturity dates of bank borrowings and thus the liquidity requirement are provided to management for review periodically. Management will contact the bankers for renewals of bank borrowings whenever necessary. The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities that will be settled into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual face value without applying discounted cash flow model based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay, was as follow:

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 traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively;
-
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 the estimated future cash flows and the current market rate of return.
The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values.
6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the abilities of the entities in the Group to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.
The Directors actively and regularly reviewed and manage the Group’s capital structure to maximise the returns to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2008.
During the year ended 31 March 2009 the capital structure of the Group mainly consists of debts, which include borrowings from banks, bank balances and cash, and equity attributable to equity holders, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained profits respectively. The Directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital to monitor its capital structure on the basis of a gearing ratio. The ratio is calculated as borrowings divided by total equity. The Group aims to maintain the gearing ratio at a reasonable level.
The gearing ratios as at 31 March 2009 and 2008 were as follows:
| 2009 | 2008 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | ||||
| Borrowings (note 27) | – | 3,783,510 | |||

Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16.5% (2008: 17.5%) on the estimated assessable profits for the year. Taxation arising in other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the relevant jurisdictions.
With effect from the year of assessment 2008/2009, the Hong Kong Profits Tax has been reduced from 17.5% to 16.5%. The deferred tax balance has been adjusted to reflect the tax rates that are expected to apply to the respective years when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.

Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverability. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.
In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the directors of the Company considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivables from the date credit were initially granted up to the reporting date. Accordingly, the directors of the Company considered provision for impairment in values be made in respect of trade receivables to their recoverable values and believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.
The directors of the Company consider that the fair value of the Group’s trade receivables at the balance sheet date were approximate their carrying amounts.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
31. 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 GEM 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 GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “Pre-IPO Share Options”), the subscription price of the Pre-IPO 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 2009.
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 GEM 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 OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I-A
(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 2009, the number of shares issuable under share options granted under the Share Option Plan was 120,450,000, which represented approximately 14% 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.

- (4) These fair values of the share options granted during the years were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The inputs into the model were at the date of grant of options as follows:
| **The ** | Group | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Date of grant | 19 August 2008 | 27 | August 2008 |
| Number of share option | 74,200,000 | 9,600,000 | |
| Share price at grant date (HK$) | 1.11 | 1.16 | |
| Weighted average exercise price (HK$) | 1.14 | 1.16 | |
| Expected volatility | |||
| (expressed as weighted average volatility) | 99.81% | 96.08% | |
| No. of years for option life | |||
| (expressed as weighted average life) | 10 | 10 | |
| Expected dividends | 0% | 0% | |
| Risk-free interest rate | 1% | 1.15% |
Expected volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the Company’s share price over the previous 1 year. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
The Group recognised the total expense of HK$15,946,877 for the year ended 31 March 2009 (2008: HK$5,757,471) in relation to share options granted by the Company. At 31 March 2009, the Company had 120,450,000 share options after adjustment for the effect of share consolidation (2008: 85,050,000) 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 120,450,000 (2008: 85,050,000) additional ordinary shares of HK$0.04 each (2008: HK$0.02 each) of the Company and additional share capital of HK$4,818,000 (2008: HK$1,701,000) and cash proceeds to the Company of HK$122,522,000 (2008: HK$32,274,000) (before share issue expenses).

APPENDIX I-A
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.

APPENDIX I-B FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
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.
– 126 –
APPENDIX I-B FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
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.
– 127 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS

(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.

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.

APPENDIX I-B
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.

APPENDIX I-B
(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.

APPENDIX I-B
- (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.

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.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Gold Track Group’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard Gold Track Group’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 Gold Track Group’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Gold Track Group’s may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Gold Track Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets. Gold Track Group 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 | 11,680,567 |
| Total assets | 11,433,365 |

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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the period commenced from 16 May 2008 (date of incorporation) to 31 March 2009
Financial and business performance
As Gold Track Group has not commenced business, no turnover has been recorded during the review period. Gold Track is an investment holding company having 95% equity interests in PT. Tomico, which in turn have 100% indirect and beneficial interested in PT. Kapitalindo by share pledge arrangement.
During the period ended 31 March 2009, Gold Track Group recorded a total turnover of nil. The loss after income tax was approximately HK$616,117 mainly attributed from the finance cost of Gold Track Group for the period.
Liquidity and financial resources
As at 31 March 2009, Gold Track Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$11,680,567. In addition, as at 31 March 2009, the current ratio of Gold Track was approximately 30.6%. The gearing ratio (defined as total liabilities over the total assets) of Gold Track as at 31 March 2009 was approximately 102%.
Charge of assets
Gold Track Group did not have any pledged assets as at 31 March 2009.
Capital structure
As at 31 March 2009, the issued share capital of Gold Track was HK$78,000, comprise of 10,000 issued and fully paid ordinary shares of US$1.00 each. Gold Track had entered into the Subscription Agreement and Supplement Agreement with Galileo Capital Group (BVI) Limited (“Galileo BVI”). Gold Track has conditionally agreed to allot and issue the 11,739 shares of Gold Track to Galileo BVI in consideration of Galileo BVI capitializing the loan of US$1,000,000 (and interests accrued thereon) due from the Gold Track to Galileo BVI.

APPENDIX I-B FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
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.

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 I-B
(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.
– 152 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
APPENDIX I-B
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.

(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.

(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.

APPENDIX I-B
(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.

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.

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.
Capital structure
The issued share capital of PT. Tomico was HK$3,910,663 as at 31 March 2009, comprise of 500,000 issued and fully paid ordinary shares of US$1.00 each. There were no other loan stocks, preference shares or convertibles issued and outstanding.

APPENDIX I-B FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
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.

Kapitalindo is responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and the true and fair presentation of Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included.
REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Information based on our audit. For the purpose of this report, we have audited the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement. We have also carried out additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the reporting accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the sole director of PT. Kapitalindo, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Information.

OPINION
In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of PT. Kapitalindo as at 31 March 2007, 2008 and 2009 and of the result and cash flow of PT. Kapitalindo for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.
SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO GOING CONCERN BASIS OF PT. KAPITALINDO
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 4(a) of Section II of the Financial Information which indicates that PT. Kapitalindo incurred net loss of HK$746,500 for the year ended 31 March 2009 and PT. Kapitalindo’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by HK$545,500 as at 31 March 2009. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 4(a), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about PT. Kapitalindo’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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.
– 173 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANIES ACQUIRED SINCE THE LATEST PUBLISHED AUDITED ACCOUNTS
APPENDIX I-B
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 I-B
(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.

APPENDIX I-B
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 | |||||

| Gearing ratio | 122% | – | – | ||||
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.

APPENDIX I-B
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.
9. TURNOVER
No turnover was generated by PT. Kapitalindo during the Relevant Periods.
10. (LOSS) BEFORE TAXATION
(Loss) before taxation has been determined after charging the following items:
| From 1 April 2008 | From 1 April 2008 | From 1 April 2007 | From 1 April 2007 | From 7 November 2006 | ||||||||

| HK$ | HK$ | HK$ | ||||||||||
| Exchange | loss | 497,113 | – | – | ||||||||
11. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
No provision for Hong Kong or overseas profits tax has been made as PT. Kapitalindo did not generate any assessable profits during the Relevant Period.
There are no material unprovided deferred tax assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.
12. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION AND THE FIVE HIGHEST PAID INDIVIDUALS

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.

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.

APPENDIX I-B
- 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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Information based on our audit and report our opinion to you.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

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

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.
– 206 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Judgments 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 the Target Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The Financial Information includes the financial statement of the Target Company and its subsidiaries made up to 30 September 2009.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the periods are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income 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 Target Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which the Target 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:
| Computer | 30% |
|---|---|
| Office Equipment | 20% |
| Furniture and fixture | 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
| Machinery and equipment | 20% |
| Buildings | 4% |
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Costs incurred in maintaining property, plant and equipment in their normal working conditions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Improvements are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives to the Target Group.
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 statement of comprehensive income.
(d) 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 the Target Group and the proven and probable reserves of the mines. Mining rights are written off to the statement of comprehensive income if the mining property is abandoned.
– 207 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(e) Goodwill
Goodwill arising from an acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Target 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 statement of financial position.
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. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income. 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.
(f) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is a company in which the Target Company 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 statement of financial position of the Target Company 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 statement of comprehensive income.
(g) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when the Target 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 statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets
The Target 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 reporting date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including amount due from related companies, other receivable and bank balance 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
– 208 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
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 statement of comprehensive income 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 Target 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 Target Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The financial liabilities of the Target 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 (including other payables, obligation under finance leases, amount due to shareholders and amount due to related companies) 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.
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 the Target 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 the Target 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 statement of comprehensive income.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from the Target 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 statement of comprehensive income.
– 209 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(h) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each reporting date, the Target 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.
(i) 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.
(j) 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 statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(k) 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 statement of comprehensive income 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. Target Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 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.
– 210 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
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.
(l) Turnover
Turnover represents dividend income received and receivable.
(m) Revenue recognition
Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.
(n) 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.
(o) Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Target Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Target 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 statement of comprehensive income.
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Target 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 reporting sheet;
-
(2) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income 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 other comprehensive income.
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.
(p) Leases
Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are expenses in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
– 211 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Finance lease
Leases that substantially transfer to the Target Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases. At the commencement of the lease term, a finance lease is capitalized at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease.
The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as obligations under finance leases. Lease payments are appointed between finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Assets under finance leases are depreciated the same as owned assets over their estimated useful lives.
(q) Provision
Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Target 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 reporting date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
(r) 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 the Target 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.
(s) Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Target Group if:
-
i. directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the party controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Target Group; or has an interest in the Target Group that gives it significant influence over the Target Group; or has joint control over the Target Group;
-
ii. the party is an associate of the Target Group;
-
iii. the party is a joint venture in which the Target Group is a venturer;
-
iv. the party is a member of key management personnel of the Target Group or the Target Group’s parent;
-
v. the party is a close family member of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);
-
vi. the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or
-
vii. the party is a post-employment benefit plan which is for the benefit of employees of the Target Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Target Group.
5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: cash flow and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance.
– 212 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(a) Market risk
Market risk comprises three type of risk: currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and other price risk. Based on the evaluation of the Target Group’s operations, the directors of the Target Company consider that the Target Group’s operation are mainly subject to foreign exchange risk.
Foreign exchange risk
The majority of the Target Group’s monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Indonesia Rupiah. The Target Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in respect of exchange fluctuation of Hong Kong Dollar against Indonesia Rupiah. The Target Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency asset and liabilities. The Target Group will monitor its foreign exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
(b) Credit risk
At 30 September 2009, the Target 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. The Target Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under common credit lines.
The following tables detail the Target Group’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 the Target Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Target Group’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard the Target Group’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 the Target Group’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Target Group’s may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Target Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets. The Target Group aims to maintain the gearing ratio at reasonable level. The gearing ratios at 30 September 2009 and 31 March 2009 are as follows:
| At | At | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 September | 31 March | ||||
| 2009 | 2009 | ||||
| Total liabilities | 66,097,750 | 21,937,500 | |||
| Total assets | 64,928,176 | 21,910,732 | |||
| Gearing ratio | 102% | 100% | |||
7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgments 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.
The Target 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.
– 214 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Target Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of goodwill in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 4(e). 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(e).
Impairment of assets
The Target 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 mining rights
The carrying value of mining rights 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 the Target 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.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Target Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Target Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
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 the Target Company 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 the Target Group during the Relevant Period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Segmental information
During the period ended 31 March 2009 and six months ended 30 September 2009, the Target Group was solely engaged in the mining iron ore resources.
Employees and remuneration
As at 31 March 2009 and 30 September 2009, the Target Group had Nil and 44 staffs respectively. The total remuneration for the period ended 31 March 2009 and six months ended 30 September 2009 were HK$ Nil and HK$60,513 respectively.
Future prospects
Indonesia is exceptionally rich in mining resources and the government’s policy of opening the market is favourable to foreign developers. In addition, the low production cost, low operation expenditure and cheap labour further facilitates the mining operation. All of them are advantageous to the future development of Target Group. Given the demand for iron is likely to increase due to the needs of the developing countries, the Target Group should be able to benefit from both low costs and higher selling prices.
The Target Group’s ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an easy, efficient and effective exploitation work. There is an established transportation network including a highway which makes it easy to transport iron ore from the Target Group’s mining area to the port. The port is only 92km away from the Target Group’s iron mine. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation. The Directors are optimistic about the profitability of the Target Group. It is expected that the Target Group will be able to contribute profits to the Group in the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, P.T. Multi has also obtained the exploitation permit for a neighboring iron mine in August 2004. However, the potential resources of this neighboring iron mine is not yet determined and it is currently considered to be of no economic value by the Directors. The Group will not develop and exploit such neighboring mine. Also, the exploitation permit for such mine will soon expire in October 2010 and the Group will not apply for renewal of such permit.
Future plans for material investments or capital assets
As at 30 September 2009, no future plan for material investments or capital assets in the foreseeable future.

For the purpose of this report, we have audited the Financial Information for the Relevant Period in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement. We have also carried out additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the reporting accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of P.T. ACME, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Information.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of P.T. ACME as at 30 September 2009 and of the result and cash flow of P.T. ACME for the Relevant Period in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.

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. Revision 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(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:
Computer 30% Furniture and fixture 20% Motor vehicle 20% Machinery and equipment 20% Buildings 4%
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting
date.
Costs incurred in maintaining property, plant and equipment in their normal working conditions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Improvements are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives to P.T. ACME.
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 statement of comprehensive income.
(c) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is a company in which P.T. ACME 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 statement of financial position of P.T. ACME 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 statement of comprehensive income.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost represents the actual cost of purchases and directly related attributable cost determined on the FIFO basis. Net realisable value is determined by reference to the sale proceeds of the items sold in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the balance sheet date or management estimates based on prevailing market conditions.
(e) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when P.T. ACME 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 statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets
P.T. ACME’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
– 235 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
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 reporting date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including amount due from related parties, amount due from a director, 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 statement of comprehensive income 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 P.T. ACME 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 P.T. ACME after deducting all of its liabilities. The financial liabilities of P.T. ACME 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, amount due to a related company and obligation under finance leases) 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 P.T. ACME 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 P.T. ACME 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 statement of comprehensive income.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from P.T. ACME’s statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference
– 236 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
(f) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each reporting date, P.T. ACME 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.
(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 statement of comprehensive income 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. ACME’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 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 statement of financial position 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 reporting 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 statement of comprehensive income, 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.
(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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(k) Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of P.T. ACME are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which P.T. ACME operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is P.T. ACME’s presentation currency. P.T. ACME’s functional currency is Indonesia Rupiah.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. For the purpose of presenting the results and financial position of P.T. ACME to the presentation currency, the assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
(l) Leases
Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained yb the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are expenses in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Finance lease
Leases that substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases. At the commencement of the lease term, a finance lease is capitalized at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease.
The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as obligations under finance leases. Lease payments are appointed between finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Assets under finance leases are depreciated the same as owned assets over their estimated useful lives.
(m) Provision
Provisions are recognised when P.T. ACME has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that P.T. ACME 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 reporting date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
(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 P.T. ACME. 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.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
P.T. ACME’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. P.T. ACME’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on P.T. ACME’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 P.T. ACME’s operations, the directors of P.T. ACME consider that P.T. ACME’s operation are mainly subject to foreign exchange risk and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk.
Foreign exchange risk
P.T. ACME’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.
P.T. ACME 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 30 September 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$43,789 lower/higher. The equity would have been HK$43,789 lower/higher.
(b) Credit risk
At 30 September 2009, P.T. ACME has no concentration of risk and the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets, including inventories amount due from related parties, amount due from a director, 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. P.T. ACME maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under common credit lines.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
P.T. ACME’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard P.T. ACME’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 P.T. ACME’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, P.T. ACME’s may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
P.T. ACME monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets. P.T. ACME aims to maintain the gearing ratio at reasonable level. The gearing ratios at 30 September 2009 are as follows.
| At | |
|---|---|
| 30 September | |
| 2009 | |
| Total liabilities | 40,246,902 |
| Total assets | 41,891,520 |
| Gearing ratio | 96% |
7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
P.T. ACME 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.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
P.T. ACME determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant
– 240 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
and equipment of similar nature and functions. P.T. ACME will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
Impairment of assets
P.T. ACME 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 P.T. ACME 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 P.T. ACME during the Relevant Period.
10. OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Other operating income included the followings:

Future prospects
Indonesia is exceptionally rich in mining resources and the government’s policy of opening the market is favourable to foreign developers. In addition, the low production cost, low operation expenditure and cheap labour further facilitates the mining operation. All of them are advantageous to the future development of Target Group. Given the demand for iron is likely to increase due to the needs of the developing countries, the Target Group should be able to benefit from both low costs and higher selling prices.
The Target Group’s ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an easy, efficient and effective exploitation work. There is an established transportation network including a highway which makes it easy to transport iron ore from the Target Group’s mining area to the port. The port is only 92km away from the Target Group’s iron mine. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation. The Directors are optimistic about the profitability of the Target Group. It is expected that the Target Group will be able to contribute profits to the Group in the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, P.T. Multi has also obtained the exploitation permit for a neighboring iron mine in August 2004. However, the potential resources of this neighboring iron mine is not yet determined and it is currently considered to be of no economic value by the Directors. The Group will not develop and exploit such neighboring mine. Also, the exploitation permit for such mine will soon expire in October 2010 and the Group will not apply for renewal of such permit.
Future plans for material investments or capital assets
As at 30 September 2009, no future plan for material investments or capital assets in the foreseeable future.

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. Revision 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholders has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable P.T. Multi to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
(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:
Buildings 4% per annum Machinery and equipment 20% per annum Furniture and fixture 20% per annum Motor vehicles 20% pre annum
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Costs incurred in maintaining property, plant and equipment in their normal working conditions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Improvements are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives to P.T. Multi.
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 statement of comprehensive income.
(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 P.T. Multi and the proven and probable reserves of the mines. Mining rights are written off in profit or loss if the mining property is abandoned.
(d) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when P.T. Multi 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 statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets
P.T. Multi’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.
– 260 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET 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 reporting date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including due from a director, prepayment and other receivable, 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 statement of comprehensive income 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 P.T. Multi 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 P.T. Multi after deducting all of its liabilities. The financial liabilities of P.T. Multi 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 other payable, due to a director and obligation under finance lease) 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 P.T. Multi 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 P.T. Multi 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 statement of comprehensive income.
For financial liabilities, they are removed from P.T. Multi’s statement of financial position 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 statement of comprehensive income.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(e) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At each reporting date, P.T. Multi 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. Multi’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 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 reporting 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 statement of comprehensive income, 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
(j) Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of P.T. Multi are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which P.T. Multi operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is P.T. Multi’s presentation currency. P.T. Multi’s functional currency is Indonesia Rupiah.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. For the purpose of presenting the results and financial position of P.T. Multi to the presentation currency, the assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
(k) Leases
Operating lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are expenses in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Finance lease
Leases that substantially transfer to P.T. Multi all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases. At the commencement of the lease term, a finance lease is capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease.
The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as obligations under finance leases. Lease payments are appointed between finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Assets under finance leases are depreciated the same as owned assets over their estimated useful lives.
(l) Provision
Provisions are recognised when P.T. Multi has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that P.T.Multi will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the sole director’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
(m) 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 P.T. Multi. 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.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
P.T. Multi’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard P.T. Multi’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 P.T. Multi’s risk management capability.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, P.T. Multi’s may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
P.T. Multi monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets. P.T. Multi aims to maintain the gearing ratio at reasonable level. The gearing ratios at 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 30 September 2009 are as follows:
| At | At | At | At | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 September | 31 December | 31 December | 31 December | ||||||
| 2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | ||||||
| Total liabilities | 5,657,775 | 2,352,612 | 1,264,426 | 940 | |||||
| Total assets | 2,277,386 | 1,919,721 | 2,301,188 | 2,396,483 | |||||
| Gearing ratio | 248% | 123% | 55% | 0.04% | |||||
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.
P.T. Multi 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.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
P.T. Multi determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. P.T. Multi will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
Impairment of assets
P.T. Multi 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 mining rights
The carrying value of mining rights 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 P.T. Multi 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.

Material acquisitions and disposal and significant investments
During the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the nine months ended 30 September 2009, P.T. Multi had not made any material acquisitions and disposal of subsidiaries and affiliated companies and investments.
Segmental information
During the three years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the nine months ended 30 September 2009, P.T. Multi was solely engaged in the mining iron ore resources and sales of mineral properties in Indonesia.
Employees and remuneration
As at 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 30 September 2009, P.T. Multi had 10, 30, 12 and 21 staffs respectively. The total remuneration for the years ended 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the nine months ended 30 September 2009 were HK$145,075, HK$391,394, HK$273,683 and HK$257,453 respectively.
Future prospects
Indonesia is exceptionally rich in mining resources and the government’s policy of opening the market is favourable to foreign developers. In addition, the low production cost, low operation expenditure and cheap labour further facilitates the mining operation. All of them are advantageous to the future development of Target Group. Given the demand for iron is likely to increase due to the needs of the developing countries, the Target Group should be able to benefit from both low costs and higher selling prices.
The Target Group’s ore bed is directly exposed on the ground surface which allows an easy, efficient and effective exploitation work. There is an established transportation network including a highway which makes it easy to transport iron ore from the Target Group’s mining area to the port. The port is only 92km away from the Target Group’s iron mine. The low transportation cost is definitely an advantage for the mining operation. The Directors are optimistic about the profitability of the Target Group. It is expected that the Target Group will be able to contribute profits to the Group in the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, P.T. Multi has also obtained the exploitation permit for a neighboring iron mine in August 2004. However, the potential resources of this neighboring iron mine is not yet determined and it is currently considered to be of no economic value by the Directors. The Group will not develop and exploit such neighboring mine. Also, the exploitation permit for such mine will soon expire in October 2010 and the Group will not apply for renewal of such permit.
Future plans for material investments or capital assets
As at 30 September 2009, no future plan for material investments or capital assets in the foreseeable future.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX III
Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group:
Under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 “Business Combinations” (“HKFRS 3”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for the acquisition of Target Group. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Target Group will be recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group at their fair value at the date of Completion. Any goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase 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 Target Group at the date of Completion. Gain from a bargain purchase resulting from the business combination should be recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
-
1.1 The adjustment reflects the settlement of the aggregate Consideration for the Acquisition of HK$76,500,000 in the following manner:
-
(i) HK$5,000,000 to be satisfied by Galileo Capital Group (BVI) Limited (the “Purchaser”) in cash to the Vendor upon Completion; and
-
(ii) the balance of HK$71,500,000 to be satisfied by the Purchaser procuring the Company to issue the Promissory Note upon Completion.
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, it has been assumed that:
-
(i) the cash element of the consideration of HK$5,000,000 were paid by the Group from internal resources of the Group on 30 September 2009;
-
(ii) the Promissory Note were issued on 30 September 2009; and
-
(iii) the face value of the Promissory Note approximated its fair value at the date of exchange.
Since the actual dates of settlement of the Consideration directly attributable to the Acquisition would be different from the assumptions used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities presented above, the actual financial position arising from the Acquisition might be materially different from the financial position as shown in this Appendix.
– 282 –
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX III
-
1.2 The adjustment reflects:
-
(i) elimination of the share capital and pre-acquisition reserves of the Target Group, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on;
-
(ii) recognition of 46% minority interests of the Target Company and 48.7% minority interests of P.T. ACME Mining and Resources (“P.T. ACME”) and P.T. Multi Mineral Magnetic (“P.T. Multi”); and
-
(iii) acquisition of Sale Loan (being all obligations, liabilities and debts owing or incurred by Target Company to the Vendor as at Completion), as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on.
The Target Company owns 95% of P.T. ACME and P.T. ACME has 100% indirect and beneficial interest in P.T. Multi by share pledge arrangement, and thus after the completion of the Acquisition, the Group also has 51.3% share holdings in P.T. ACME and P.T. Multi. The Target 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 statement of financial position 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 Acquisition, the Target Group is accounted as subsidiaries of the Company, the mining right were transferred to the Group. Upon acquisition, the Group will adjust the net assets of the Target Group to its fair value by reference to a valuation performed by an independent valuer, Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited. Up to 30 September 2009, the fair value of net assets of the Target Group amounted to HK$310,000,000 as set out in Appendix V. The fair value adjustment amounted to HK$297,170,290 according to the valuation report as at 30 September 2009 and the revaluation of mining right amounted to HK$299,097,079. Shareholders should note that the fair value adjustment may be subject to change upon completion of the Acquisition.

APPENDIX III
Gain from a bargain purchase of HK$90,900,000 arising from the Acquisition of the Target Company, which is derived from the calculation as follow:
HK$
| Share of 54% of the fair value of net assets | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| of the Target Group HK$310,000,000 | 167,400,000 | ||
| Gain from a bargain purchase | (90,900,000) | ||
| Total consideration | 76,500,000 | ||
| Satisfied by: | |||
| Cash consideration | 5,000,000 | ||
| Promissory note | 71,500,000 | ||
| 76,500,000 | |||
The gain from a bargain purchase of HK$90,900,000 is the excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the Target Group’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition. The whole amount of the excess HK$90,900,000 should be recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
- 1.3 The adjustment represents the reclassification of the balances to conform with the presentation of the Group’s financial statement.
On Completion, the fair value of the Consideration and the net identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group will have to be assessed. Since the actual fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Group on Completion would be different from their estimated fair values used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities presented above, the actual financial position arising from the Acquisition might be materially different from the financial position as shown in this Appendix.

TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Summary of Objectives
Sun International Group Ltd (“Sun International” or the “Company”) commissioned SRK Consulting China Ltd (“SRK”) to undertake a field study on Air Abu Iron Mine Project in Solok County, Padang Province, Indonesia, and conduct estimation of its iron mine resources. SRK is responsible for providing a preliminary technical report summarizing the geological exploration and resource conditions of the mineral deposits for the Company’s and other institutions’ reference.
Work Program
The work program involved the following two phases:
-
Phase 1: undertake a field study, complete and supervise the exploration work, and review the previous information on geology and mineral resources of this mine.
-
Phase 2: complete the draft of report, submit the report to Sun International, and finalize the report.
RESULTS OF THE REPORT
Overall
Air Abu Iron Mine Project is a small-scale iron deposit of skarn-hydrothermal superimposition type with high grade. SRK set and participated in phase one of the exploration work of the deposit, which included geological mapping, geophysical survey, sampling on ground surface, etc. SRK imposed strict quality control and quality guarantee measures on the sampling and analysis of samples so as to ensure that the data obtained and the resource estimated on such basis are in conformity with the Australasian JORC Code.
SRK has estimated that there are 3.067 million tonnes of indicated resources with the average grade of 41.68% TFe (total iron) and 3.35 million tonnes of inferred resources with the average grade of 40.97% TFe (total iron) which are up to JORC Code. SRK suggests Sun International to conduct drilling work as soon as possible in order to improve the current resource level and explore more resources at depth. On top of them, Sun International should optimize the existing pits of the mine so as to maximize the benefits.
Geological Conditions and Resources
The outcrop strata are mainly limestone of the carboniferous system with a small quantity of marble which are distributed around the central and south parts of the mine. Air Abu Iron Mine is obviously controlled by the faults, and produced nearby the contact zone of granite and limestone. The wall rocks containing ores are marble and limestone. In the mine, there are four large iron ore blocks in which Ore Block I and II are more representative.
– 287 –
TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
Ore Block I is being mined. The block inclines to the southwest. The lower part shows 230�56°. The bottom plate of the block outcrops by 229m while the top plate outcrops by 141m with an average length of 185m. The thickness of the block varies widely, ranging from 60m to 30m. In comparison, the southeast part is thicker and the northwest part is thinner.
Part of the ore block contains the lamellas of garnet skarns, especially the central part of the block – interbedded strata (5-1m in thickness) around the top plate, which appear in a mutual overlapped form with the block. The section of 0-38m from the bottom plate of the block contains ores of hypidiomorphic-xenomorphic granular texture with a structure of dense dissemination. The granularity of process mineralogy is 0.003-1.2mm and the highest grade of TFe is 64%.
Ore Block II is distributed in 110m away from the east of Ore Block I in a vein form with S-N strike. The ore thickness = 10.9-12.5m.
Please refer to the following table for the characteristics of each ore block.

| III | 57 | 2.7 | Strike to 40° | Magnetite | ||
| IV | 43 | 2.5 | Strike to 28° | Magnetite |
The minerals of ore are mainly magnetite.
Ore Block I within the mine is composed of 2 veins, and Ore Block II is composed of 1 vein, both of which are in stratiform shape with simple ore properties, their occurrences are steep (>45°) and stable. The useable components of ore are distributed in a balanced manner. The deep parts of ore blocks have not been controlled by drilling work. According to the actual situation mentioned above, the geological blocking method was applied to the vertical longitudinal projection map for resource estimation. The cut-off grade is 20% TFe. SRK checked the indicated resources of Ore Block I by MineSight. Please refer to the following table for the resources of the Project in conformity with JORC Code.

SRK’s Suggestions
SRK has the following suggestions for the Project:
-
It should exercise control over Ore Blocks I and II at depth as soon as possible within a short period, adopt the exploratory grid of 100 X 80m and discover the states of ore blocks at depth by way of drilling;
-
In order to expand the prospective resource/reserve of the mine, it is suggested to conduct magnetic survey with the grid of 50 X 20m in mine occurrences discovered within the mine;
-
In order to optimize the current production, SRK suggests that the optimization work on open mining pits should be completed as soon as after the resources have been clearly defined;
-
In addition, as the weathering crust in the heading face currently being mined seems relatively thick, it should pay attention to the recovery of iron sand during the process of mining;
– This deposit is exploited by open mining, therefore it should pay attention to the stockpile of tailings during the process of mining so as to avoid the obstacle for mining arising therefrom. It is suggested to build a formal dump as soon as possible;
- The ore processing test is performed in the laboratory, which may result in a certain degree of difference between the recovery rate of mining and the actual performance.

3.7 Forward-Looking Statements
Assessments of mineral resources, ore reserves and production of mine and processing plant are inherently forward-looking statements. Being projections of future performance, they will certainly differ from actual performance. The errors in such projections result from inherent uncertainties in interpretation of geologic data, variations in the execution of mining and processing plans, the ability to meet construction and production schedules which are affected by numerous factors (including climate, availability of equipment and supplies, fluctuating prices and changes in regulations).
4. Introduction of Natural Geographic and Economic Conditions and the Project
4.1 Natural Geographic Conditions
Air Abu Iron Mine is located in Air Abu Village, Kilangan, Solok County, Padang Province on Sumatra, Indonesia. The mine is 92km distant from Padang city with good accessibility. It can be accessed via a paved road and gravel road. A terminal that can berth 10,000-ton ferries has been constructed on the coastline of Padang Province in which iron ore fines can be shipped to other parts of the world by sea (see Figure 4-1).

TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
The topography of the mine and surrounding area is high south part and low north part. The elevations range from 1,585m to 1,855m above sea level with a relative relief of 270m which is of high hills region. The mine area is a dense forest with thick rotten soil. Bad bedrocks are found. The place has four unclear seasons where it is hot and rainy throughout the year. The months from May to August are the hottest period in the year with the highest temperature of 37°C, while the lowest temperature of the year is 15°C, averaging 22°C. In normal cases it is hot in daytime and cool in nighttime. It has relatively high rainfall from September of the current year to April of next year, which can reach 7,319mm, while the period otherwise has lower rainfall, and the annual average rainfall is 1,315mm.
In the area, the local industry is underdeveloped and the mining development is mainly taken place in iron mines.
The residential zones are dense in the area and all of the inhabitants are Muslims, who are mainly engaged in agricultural production. The labour force is sufficient.

5. The Geological Conditions and Exploration of the Project
- 5.1 The Geological Conditions of the Region
The workplace are near to the south side of the discordogenic fault at the northwest of Padang – Solok. In the workplace, magmatite are well developed. It includes granite, gabbro, etc., which are mainly of carboniferous system and the quaternary system. Its geological conditions are shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.1 Strata
There are only a few types of strata outcropping in the area. They are sedimentary rock of carboniferous – permian system as well as the quaternary system.
– 298 –
TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
Carboniferous – permian system
This lithologic unit principally covers the central and south parts of the mine with strike of NW. It mainly contains such rock types as limestone, sandy conglomerate and marble in which the latter is primarily distributed around the surface of the rock mass. In the area, the contact zone of the limestone and granite blocks is the best place for mineralization.
The quaternary system
This formation principally covers the valleys and basins of the bottomland. Its lithologies are sandy conglomerate, sub-clay layer, etc.
5.1.2 Magmatite
The outcrop magmatite in the area includes granite, granodiorite, gabbro, etc. in which the former is distributed from the northwest of Padang – Solok towards both sides of the discordogenic fault. There is a gradual transition condition, instead of any obvious boundary, between granite and granodiorite. Granodiorite contributed much to the mineralization. In particular, it is the best mother rock for forming skarn-type iron mine.
5.1.3 Structure
The workplace is located at the southwest side of the fault zone of Padang – Solok (see Figure 5-2). The structure of the area is mainly composed of faults. The best developed faults are the faults of a NW strike that were formed in an early stage, and then the faults of a NE strike that were formed in a later stage in which most are inferred faults whose lithology is uncertain.

5.2 The Geological Conditions of Deposits
5.2.1 Strata
The outcrop strata (see Figure 5-3) are mainly limestone of the carboniferous system with a small quantity of marble which are distributed around the central and south parts of the mine. The strata strike NW with a dip of 235-255° and a dip angle of 50-55°.
Limestone: dark grey color, particles – aphanitic texture, bedded form – stripe texture. It is mainly composed of calcite and clay, and distributed around the central and south parts of the mine with a wide coverage area. Its bottom part contacts granite.
Marble: distributed along the contact zone of granite with a small coverage area, pure white – milky white, metacrystalline structure, palimpsest bedded texture (able to see the palimpsest bedded texture). It is composed of calcite.

5.2.2 Magmatite
In the area, magmatite is well developed, and mainly distributed around the north side of the mine. It primarily includes granite (granodiorite) and gabbro in which the former is found in the form of batholith and is the direct mother rock formed in the iron ore deposit of Air Abu. We estimate that it is produced in the late Yanshanian period. The gabbro is distributed around the northwest corner of the mine where there is iron mine nearby. It is found in the form of vein striking NE or NW.

TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
5.2.3 Structure
-
(1) Fold structure. Since the limestone strata of the carboniferous – permian system was damaged by the formation effect and the magmatic intrusion, we are unable to understand the exact form of their fold structure for the time being. Asian-American Company plans to strengthen this work later so as to provide information on the possible mining location of the iron mine of the contact metasomatic type for reference.
-
(2) Faults. They are the main structure of the mine which can be classified into three groups, namely, N-W strike group, S-N strike group and N-E group. The fault of N-W strike group is of both guidance structure and host structure. The iron ore deposit of Air Abu is obviously controlled by the fault of N-W strike. The fault of S-N strike is formed after themineralization period. Now we have found two faults which relate to the ore block:
-
F1 Fault: N-E strike, almost upright, some meters ~ over ten meters in width. It cuts the stratum and the magmatite. In the SE end of the ore block, there are grey fault gouge and fault breccia with the components of limestone and marble. Though they are harmful to the block, the effect is not material. It should be the fault after the mineralization.
-
F2 Fault: N-W strike, vertical fault section, being the boundary between the ore block and granodiorite. No harmful effect upon the block can be found from the ground surface. It may be the fault (the channel for the fountaining ore pulp) of the mineralization (overlapping) period, and there may be activities after the mineralization.
5.2.4 Metamorphism
Due to the vaporization of hydrothermal fluid under high temperature as well as the contact metasomatism, new metamorphic rocks were then produced. Marbles of high purity and skarns were formed in the east side and the contact zone of the block respectively. Main mineral components include garnet, pyroxene, vesuvianite, actinolite, tremolite, calcite, etc. Such metasomatism had no material effect upon the products of mine.

5.2.5 Magnetic Anomaly Characteristics on Ground Surface
In the early stage, the mine owner conducted a magnetic survey for the site of Air Abu Iron Mine in which the area was 0.44 km[2] and the grid was 100 X 50. The survey of 100 X 10 – 100 X 5m was adopted for the surrounding area of the ore block. Two magnetic anomalies, referred to as No. C1 and C2, were found and are detailed as follows:
• C1 magnetic anomaly
It is distributed around the northwest of the map area and in an irregular form. The macro axis has a northwest direction, and is wide in the southeast part but narrow in the northwest part. It has a length of 280m, a width of 160-60m, the anomalous limits of 500 r at the minimum and 10,000 r at the maximum. The anomaly occurs in the contact zone of granite and limestone. On the east side of the anomalous zone, there is a small area of negative anomaly caused by horse stone.
C1 magnetic anomaly is consistent with Ore Block I of Air Abu.
Based on the distribution pattern of the contour line of the magnetic anomaly, the anomaly is concentrated in the southwest part which indicates that the anomalous bodies incline to the southwest. The findings of the heading face have shown that the actual conditions are consistent with the information of the magnetic survey. The ore block inclines towards the southwest with a dip angle of 55[o] and a side tilt to the northwest along the strike. The average width of the anomaly is 106m and, taking into account the dip angle of the ore block, the depth of the block is 163m.
• C2 magnetic anomaly
The anomaly is distributed in the central part of the map area with E-W strike and in a spindle form. It has a length of 180m, a width of 30 – 60m and a low anomalous value. The anomalous characteristics are consistent with Ore Block II of Air Abu Iron Mine. There are two small ore blocks distributed around its east side and west side with S-N strike. These three blocks may have the same bottom in the deep part that such deep part may have a different strike of E-W. The anomaly occurs in the vicinity of the contact zone of granite body and limestone.

5.3 The Geological Conditions of Ore Blocks
Air Abu Iron Mine is obviously controlled by the faults, and produced nearby the contact zone of granite and limestone. The wall rocks containing ores are marble and limestone. In the mine, there are four large iron ore blocks in which Ore Block I and II are more representative. The details are made as follows:
5.3.1 Iron Ore Block I

APPENDIX IV
Iron Ore Block I is being mined. Based on the observation of heading face, the block inclines to the southwest. The lower part shows 230�56°. The bottom plate of the block outcrops by 229m while the top plate outcrops by 141m with an average length of 185m. The thickness of the block varies widely, ranging from 60m to 30m. In comparison, the southeast part is thicker and the northwest part is thinner. The findings are basically the same as the results of the geophysical survey.
Part of the ore block contains the lamellas of garnet skarns, especially the central part of the block – interbedded strata (5-1m in thickness) around the top plate, which appear in an mutual overlapped form with the block.
The section of 0-38m from the bottom plate of the block contains ores of hypidiomorphic-xenomorphic granular texture with a structure of dense dissemination. The granularity of process mineralogy is 0.003-1.2mm and the highest grade of TFe is 64%.
The section from 38m to the top plate contains ores of xenomorphic granular – particle texture with a structure of tectum block. Magnetite is embedded in the xenomorphic irregular granular form. This type of ore is of a relatively high grade, up to 69%. A total of 88 samples have been taken in Ore Block 1 Platform and 2 Platform which have the TFe average grade of 40.08%. Rocks direct surrounding the ore block are garnet skarns. There is a clear, but irregular, contact boundary between them.
On the Vein I, there are other five thinner veins with a thickness less than 1m. They are non-continuously distributed, deeply oxidized and of limonite. Their TFe grade is 10.9-20.4%. (Table 5-2)

5.3.2 Ore Block II
This ore block is distributed in 110m away from Ore Block I in a vein form with S-N strike. Two outcrops are found in the block. They are (1) X=0700250, Y=9870490, H=1,740m; the occurrence of the upper part: 295°�45°; and the true ore thickness = 12.5m; and (2) X=0700300, Y=9870504, H=1,700m; the occurrence of the upper part: 295°�50°; and the true ore thickness = 10.9m.
The coordinate of controlled ore block point of trenching work: X=0700184, Y=9870401, H=1,747m; and the true ore thickness at that point = 5.3m.
The main mineral product is magnetite and the ore block has an average grade of 36.27%. The ore block is controlled by two sampling pits and one trench. Its actual length is 202m (see Table 5-2).
5.4 Ore Mineralogy
5.4.1 Ore Structure
The structure of ores in the mine can be basically classified into two types:
The first is euhedral-hypidiomorphic coarse-grained texture (see Figure 5-5) which mainly appears in the lower part of Ore Block I. The mineral grain of the vein is relatively large, with the largest crystalline magnetite up to 10mm, and constitutes a crystalline magnetite group.
==> picture [308 x 231] intentionally omitted <==

TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
The second is particle-cryptocrystalline texture with high grade up to 69%. It is contained between the middle and upper part of Ore Block I. In comparison with the lower part of the block, it has more horse stones. There are abundant iron ores in some parts of the section.
5.4.2 Ore Texture
The ore mainly has 3 textures:
-
(1) Coarse-grained texture: The magnetite aggregates are distributed in a balanced manner. In comparison, the mineral grains are thicker and the grade is higher, in which the highest iron content can reach 64% without impurity. This structure is relatively obvious in Vein I.
-
(2) Banded texture: The magnetite aggregates and horse stones of limestone are distributed alternatively in the form of band. Vein I has the properties of banded structure. The grade is relatively low (35-41%).
-
(3) Dense massive texture: The magnetite aggregates, in the forms of particle or cryptocrystalline, are distributed in a balanced manner. Most of the ores in Vein I have a dense massive structure. This type of ore has a relatively high grade in which the iron content can reach 69%.
5.4.3 Mineral Composition
Ore composition
- (1) Ore minerals
Magnetite: It is a main useful mineral in the ore. Its content is 26%-65% and it is characterized as hypidiomorphic-euhedral particle aggregates or cryptocrystalline aggregate with the diameter of 0.5-5mm in general. Most of the magnetite aggregates are interlaced by small veins of limestone.
(2) Gangue minerals
The gangue minerals are mainly calcite and garnet. The garnet has a large crystal form and in good condition, yet it has impurity. Most of them appear in the forms of rhombic dodecahedron and trapezohedron.
Chemical compositions of ore
- (1) Useful components
Iron in ore mainly occurs in magnetite and the rate of average distribution in ore reaches over 90%. A small part of iron is distributed in silicate minerals, and lesser in hematite and pyrite, which has a minimal significance in terms of iron content in the ore.

TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
(2) Harmful components
After tested by the Test and Research Centre of Geology and Mineral Resources of Guangxi, China ( ), the harmful elements in ore include sulfur, phosphorus, lead, zinc and copper which only account for a small percentages (0.01-0.14%). Although the sulfur content is comparatively high (S=0.2%), it can be automatically separated by a magnetic separator as it is contained in pyrite, and thus has no effect on metallurgy. Also, a little pyrite content in the ore block is far below the specified benchmark.
(3) Slag component
It mainly includes SiO2, Al2O3, CaO and MgO. They are mainly contained in gangue within the ore, and can be automatically separated by a magnetic separator. Please see Table 5-3 for the content.
Table 5-3: Table of Element Content of Ores

5.4.4 Ore Type
Natural type of ore
The natural type of ore is a block-banded magnetite type.
Industrial type of ore
According to the industrial requirement, the iron ores of this mine are required to go through the ore processing. The industrial type is the ores of low-grade ores which have relatively more magnetite content and are required for ore processing.
5.4.5 Wall Rock and Horse Stone of Ore Block
Wall rock of ore block
The near-ore wall rocks of ore block are mainly limestone and marble.
– 308 –
TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
Horse stone of ore block
The horse stones of ore block are limestone. Based on the observation of heading face, there are two levels of horse stones, and the content of iron in horse stone is comparatively high against the normal grade of 17-28% TFe.
5.5 Causes of Deposits
-
(1) The ore block was produced on the contact zone of granite and limestone.
-
(2) The ore block is apparently controlled by faults. Thus, it is thick, and its boundary with wall rock is clear. It has a close relationship with the extensional shear fault. There are a great amount of garnets in the standard mineral whose crystal form is in good condition.
-
(3) The clear serrated boundary between iron ore and horse stones (mainly of garnet skarns) (see Table 5-6) reveals that ore pulp penetrated along the tensional faults in the later period.
==> picture [333 x 250] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5-6: The Serrated Boundary between Iron Ores (Black) and Garnets
The above characteristics reveals that the ore block was produced nearby the external contact zone of granite and limestone. It is a deposit of typical contact metasomatism and magmatic hydrothermal superimposition type.

5.6.3 Geological Exploration Work and Comments on Quality
Exploration method and work planning
Based on the outcrop of ore block, the previous mine owner conducted a 0.44-sq.m. geophysical exploration work in the mine with the exploratory grid of 100 X 50m. In the outcrop of ore block and its vicinity, a measurement method of 100 X 10m – 100 X 5m was adopted. It circled two magnetic anomalies, both of which were confirmed as mineral anomalies after the verification.
In early April of 2009, Asian-American Mineral Resources Co. Ltd conducted an open mining. In addition, a route geological survey at 1:10000 was also executed in the area with mining rights through which 3 iron mine occurrences were discovered.
– 311 –
TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
In the meantime, trenching work for exploration was conducted in the section with suitable topographical conditions in order to delineate the border line of ore block in the selected section. A systematic sampling was also conducted on the exposed part of ore block. Its working method could basically meet the needs for general survey.
Geological mapping at 1:10000 and comments on quality
With the basis of regional geological map at 1:250000, the route is planned along the gully and ridge. Due to the grown vegetation, thick overlay and the relatively great thickness (3-15m), the natural outcrop points of batholith were rarely seen, and only a small quantity of outcrops of batholith were seen on the roadside and at the bottom of gully. The lithologies identified are granite, granodiorite, limestone, marble, gabbro, etc. The outcrop strata in the mine are simply limestone of the carboniferous system, and the marble only outcrops in a small quantity nearby the contact zone, as a result it has not divided a stratum separately. Although the lithologies on the map were simple, it could basically meet the requirement of general survey.
1:2500 Geological map
The 1:2500 relief map was made by the mining team’s measurement that 0.44 sq.km. is outlined in the mining area of deposit. Due to the single lithology, a simple lithology is shown on the map. Basically we have found the ore-controlling factors and the cause of forming deposit that the scale of deposit is controlled by the contact zone of neutral-acidic rock and limestone. The deposit originated from a typical skarn-type deposit. The map basically meets the requirement of general survey.
Geophysical exploration work
An area of 0.44 sq.km. around the ore block was selected to conduct a ground surface magnetic survey with a grid of 100 X 50 – 100 X 10 – 100 X 5m, and 2 anomalies are delineated with the lower limit of 500[�] . They were found to be mineral anomalies after their exposure. The result reveals that the ground surface magnetic survey is a very effective means in finding iron deposits. Its working method and quality are up to the accuracy requirement set out in the Standard of Ground Surface Magnetic Methods ( ).

were 50 samples and the basic analyzing items included TFe and mFe, in which the analysis results were in compliance with the quality requirement and the qualified rate was 100% after taking into account the relative errors.
There was one sample, which was a composite sample collected in Ore Block I, receiving a full chemical analysis. The analyzing items included TFe, mFe, hematite, Fe in limonite, Fe in siderite, Fe in pyrite, ferrosilicon, CaO, Na2O, MgO, K2O, Al2O3, SiO2, S, Pb, Zn, Cu, P, As, Sn and TiO2.
This time SRK supervised the sampling of 119 samples all the way. The assaying of samples were completed by the Laboratory of Regional Geological Survey Agency of Hebei Provincial Bureau of Geology and Exploration of China ( ), which is an institution of assaying and analysis with national qualification. The handling of samples was conducted in full compliance with the PRC standard.
SRK technical personnel was responsible for placing a total of 22 standard samples, blank samples, coarse-breaking-grained replicate samples and powder replicate samples without the company of laboratory staff and numbering the samples secretly. Among the samples, there are 8 replicate samples with the error rate of 1%, 10 high/low standard samples with the checking error rate of 8% and 4 blank samples without error. It can be observed that the assaying results (see Appendix 2) do not have any systematic error and the qualified rate is 100%.
Other sample tests
-
(1) Light-weight sample: It was undertaken by the test centre of Guangxi Bureau of Geology and Mineral Prospecting and Exploitation, and was tested by adopting wax sealing and draining method. The average weight of ore was estimated through the above method. The measurement method is reliable that can satisfy the requirement of resource/reserve estimate.

(2) Rock and mineral sample for examination: It was undertaken by the test centre of Guangxi Bureau of Geology and Mineral Prospecting and Exploitation of China. The test results are reliable and accurate that can satisfy the requirement of examination of general survey.
6. Estimates of Resources
6.1 Key Technical Benchmarks
Pursuant to the mining practice of Indonesia and by reference to similar deposits, SRK applied the following technical parameters in estimating the resources:
- Cut-off grade: TFe�20%
– 314 –
TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
-
Industrial grade: TFe�25%
-
Minimum minable thickness: 1.0m
-
Horse stone eliminating thickness �2.0m
6.2 Selection and Basis of Method of Resource Estimate
Ore Block I within the mine is composed of 2 veins, and Ore Block II is composed of 1 vein, both of which are in stratiform shape with simple ore properties, their occurrences are steep (>45°) and stable. The useable components of ore are distributed in a balanced manner. The deep part of ore blocks were not controlled by drilling work. According to the actual situation mentioned above, the geological blocking method was applied to the vertical longitudinal projection map for resource estimation.
The formulas of resource/reserve estimate are:
Q= V • D
V= S • M
In which,
Q = ore tonnage
V = volume of ore
D = weight of ore
S = vertical longitudinal projected area of ore block
M = horizontal thickness of block section
6.3 Determination of the Resource Estimate Parameter
6.3.1 Determination of Vertical Longitudinal Projected Area of Ore Block
Indicated resource (332): The vertical longitudinal projected area of ore block was calculated based on the length of the vertical ore block, measured by projecting the ore block on the vertical plane parallel to the strike of the ore block, multiplied by the mean of the visible heights of ore block outcrops.
Inferred resource (333): The block section area was calculated based on the length of exposed part in the heading face of ore block and the existing exploration depth, and that it was extended horizontally by 1/2 towards the external part (where it had anomaly based on magnetic survey) based on the grid of 100 X 80m.

TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
- 6.3.2 Determination of Horizontal Thickness of Ore Block
The following formula was adopted in calculating horizontal thickness:
M=L • sin � • cos �
In which,
-
M: horizontal thickness of ore block
-
L: bevel thickness of cross-hatching line inserting in ore block
-
�: included angle between cross-hatching line and ore block dipping
-
�: included angle between cross-hatching line and horizontal line
6.3.3 Determination of Weight of Ore
The gravity was determined by the test centre of Guangxi Bureau of Geology and Mineral Prospecting and Exploitation of China. By using wax sealing method, the mean of the determined results is 4.4.
In SRK’s opinion, the gravity of iron ore and the grade of ore are directly related. This relationship was concluded by adopting the linear equation, which was then applied to resource estimate of every particular ore block. Now average grade was used in estimating the resource which may have inaccuracy in the results.
6.4 Principle and Method of Ore Block Delineation
6.4.1 Principle of Ore Block Delineation
Ore block delineation was delineated based on the technical indices of resource estimate and the results of sampling and analysis of ores in the heading face, and taking into account the previous drilling information, light engineering work on ground surface and geophysical anomalies.
6.4.2 Method of Ore Block Delineation
Based on the results of sampling and analysis of ores in the heading face, samples of TFe �25% collected from the heading face were delineated as the ore blocks. Based on the observation of heading face, Ore Block I seemed to contain two horses of limestone. But through sampling and analysis, 9 samples of Ha76 – Ha86 (nos. 80 and 85 were reconstitutes) had lower grades, which were deleted after conversion into horizontal length.

APPENDIX IV
6.4.3 Determination of Cut-off of Ore Block
Provided that there exists the magnetic anomaly, the ore block normally has the cut-off line to be set along the strike up to the anomaly value of more than 500�, and set along the dip trend up to 1/3 of ore block length.
If outcrops of ore block were found in the heading face, and provided that there exists any magnetic anomaly, the ore block has the line to be set horizontally towards the external part (i.e. horizontally extension) based on 1/2 of the exploratory grid of 100 X 100m.
6.5 Resource Classification
According to the actual situation of the mine that it did not have in-depth engineering work to control the depth of ore block, the mineral resources within the mine can be classified as indicated resource and inferred resource.
-
(1) Indicated resource: The visible part of ore block based on the grid of 80 X 60m as controlled by ground surface mining.
-
(2) Inferred resource: The horizontal extension part of ore block along strike and dip trend based on 1/2 of the exploratory grid of 100 X 100m.
-
(3) Each of the ore blocks is numbered following the order of 1, 2, 3.......
On the above principles, Ore Block I is divided into 1 block section of indicated resource and 2 block sections of inferred resource (see Figure 6-1). Ore block II is divided into 1 block section of inferred resource (see Figure 6-2).

The 3-dimensional ore block model of Air Abu Iron Mine is built by using MineSight software, and the steps are shown as follows:
-
Insert the outcrop points in Table 6-2 into MineSight, connect each actual measurement point to create a outcrop (see Figure 6-3).
-
Use the “Extrude” function of MineSight software to extrude the outcrop to an elevation of 1,640m, at the same time set an offset distance of -10m (see Figure 6-4).
-
build the 3-dimensional ore block model based on the outcrop in Figure 6-3 and model in Figure 6-4, and finally use “Volume Calculator” to calculate the volume and resource (see Figure 6-5).
This time the ore block model built has the volume of approximately 662,802m[3] and resource of approximately 2,916kt.

7. Existing Problems and Suggestions for the Future Work
7.1 Existing Problems
In SRK’s opinion, the extent of work in the mine is relatively low which does not have in-depth engineering work to control the extension of ore blocks. As a result, it does not have a detailed understanding about the scale of ore block. The quaternary system of the mine has a thick coverage and grown vegetation which brought huge difficulties in geological mapping at 1:10,000, leading to sparse geological observation points, few outcrop points and comparatively low precision of geological map. In addition, trenching work cannot be used to find geophysical anomalies.
7.2 Suggestions for the Future Work
SRK has the following suggestions for the Project:
-
It should exercise control over Ore Blocks I and II at depth as soon as possible within a short period, adopt the exploratory grid of 100 X 80m and discover the states of ore blocks at depth by way of drilling;
-
In order to expand the prospective resource/reserve of the mine, it is suggested to conduct magnetic survey with the grid of 50 X 20m in mine occurrences discovered within the mine;
– 321 –
TECHNICAL REPORT
APPENDIX IV
-
In order to optimize the current production, SRK suggests that the optimization work on open mining pits should be completed as soon as after the resources have been clearly defined;
-
In addition, as the weathering crust in the heading face currently being mined seems relatively thick, it should pay attention to the recovery of iron sand during the process of mining;
-
This deposit is exploited by open mining, therefore it should pay attention to the stockpile of tailings during the process of mining so as to avoid the obstacle for mining arising therefrom. It is suggested to build a formal dump as soon as possible;
-
The ore processing testing is performed in the laboratory, which may result in a certain degree of difference between the recovery rate of mining and the actual performance.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET OVERVIEW
Iron Ore Production in the World
Iron ore is a hard rock mineral and is used to make pig iron which is a raw material of steel. The Mineral Information Institute, an American minerals and mining educational institution, pointed out that approximately 98% of mined iron ores are used to make steel[2] . According to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a scientific agency of the United States government, China, Brazil, Australia, India and Russia are the major iron ore producers in the world. Total resources of the world estimated by USGS exceed 800 billion tons of crude ores which contain more than 230 billion tons of iron[3] .

Mining Industry in Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the richest mineral resource countries in Southeast Asia and the major mineral commodities of Indonesia are bauxite, gold, copper, silver, nickel and tin, etc. In 2008, Indonesia was one of the top 10 producers of tin, gold, copper and nickel in the world according to USGS[4] . Development of mineral had been an important part of the Indonesian government’s plan for economic growth[5] .
Indonesian economy benefits from the mining industry. Indonesian mining industry contribution to GDP increased 23% from Rp130.70 trillion in 2006 to Rp160.46 trillion in 2007 according to Badan Pusat Statistik (Statistics Department in Indonesia) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) (See Exhibit 2), while the industry contribution to Indonesian exports increased 18% from USD20.03 billion in 2006 to USD23.58 billion in 2007 according to Bank Indonesia and PwC[6] . Although the mining industry contributed only approximately 4% to the total Indonesian GDP in 2007[7] , it should be noted that it represents a much larger percentage of GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) in several Indonesian provinces including Papua, Bangka-Belitung, West Nusa Tenggara and East Kalimantan[8] .

VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
Increase in exploration and discovery of new mineral reserves are essential for developing the Indonesian mining industry in the long run. In 2007, exploration expenditure in Indonesia increased from USD59.90 million in 2006 to USD94.60 million, which accounted for 22% of the Pacific and Southeast Asia region’s expenditures for hard rock minerals according to USGS[9] . Besides, the discovery of mineral deposits in Indonesia is expected to increase in the future. The Business Monitor International, specializing in industry analyses, 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 USD50 billion in 2011[10] .
Demand of Iron Ore in China
China is one of the leading economic and trade countries of the world because it has 1.3 billion of population and has huge market potential. China is one of the few countries in the world whose domestic demand and supply of commodities would affect the global mineral market. In 2008, China’s mineral trade accounted for 25.70% of the country’s total trade. According to the general administration of customs of China, the value of mined mineral product imports increased to USD231.10 billion in 2008, an increase of 59.20% from that of 2007[11] .
According to the research article from ResearchandMarkets, China domestically consumes over 50% of the total iron ore production in the world[12] because China is one of the global leading producers of pig iron and steel. Since the domestic iron ore production of China has not been able to meet its domestic demand, China needs to import iron ores from other countries. According to USGS, China mainly imported iron ore from Australia, Brazil, India, South Africa and Canada[13] .

USGS indicated that the amount of iron ore import to China increased 15% from 383.09 million metric tons in 2007 to 443.56 million metric tons in 2008. The demand of imported iron ore in China is expected to continue increasing in the future. The research article from ResearchandMarkets forecasted that China’s import of iron ores will increase from 275 million tons in 2005 to 540 million tons in 2010[14] .

VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
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 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 P.T. ACME and P.T. Multi 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 3.067 million tons of iron classified as indicated resources based on JORC code and 3.35 million tons of iron classified as inferred resources. We used a 100% of recovery rate and a 70% of recovery rate in this valuation for indicated resources and inferred resources respectively;
-
According to the information provided by the Company, an average selling price of extracted iron would remain at US$75 per ton for 52% – 57% iron and US$90 per ton for 63.5% iron during the period between 2009 and 2014, which is employed in this valuation; and
-
The Company will recruit and have competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to implement the Feasibility Study Report and the Forecast.
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.
– 344 –
VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
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.
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.
– 345 –
VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
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 27.8% is appropriate for valuing both P.T. ACME and P.T. Multi.
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
– 346 –
VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
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 5.81% 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 Feasibility Study Report and the Forecast. Uncertainty results from the lack of historical data to support the projected data in the Forecast. To reflect the start-up 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.
Sensitivity Analysis
We have identified the discount rate and the selling price of iron as the variables 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$303.2 million to HK$317.1 million as the discount rate decreases from 28.8% to 26.8% for P.T. ACME and P.T. Multi, while the fair value of the Company falls in the range of HK$345.0 million and HK$275.0 million as the selling price changes from +5% to -5%.

VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
However, since the Company is not valued as a going concern and would stop operation after 2015 when the minable resources are all extracted, there is not a perpetual growth rate assumed in this valuation and thus no growth rate sensitivity analysis is included.
CONCLUSION OF VALUE
Based upon the investigation and analysis outlined above and on the appraisal method employed, it is our opinion that as of 30 September 2009 the fair value of the Company is reasonably stated by the amount of HONG KONG DOLLAR THREE HUNDRED AND TEN MILLION (HK$310,000,000) 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.
We hereby certify that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Company or the value reported.
