CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

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 Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE ACQUISITION OF AN INDIRECT 35% EQUITY INTEREST IN GOT

INTRODUCTION

On 5 March 2010, the Board announced that the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Agreement with the Vendor pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Sale Shares, being 50,000 issued shares in Exequs representing the entire issued share capital of Exequs, for an aggregate consideration of HK$50 million.

  • For identification purpose only

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Exequs is an investment holding company incorporated in the BVI. The principal asset held by Exequs is the entire registered capital of Century Decai, which in turn holds a 35% equity interest in GOT. GOT is one of the vendors approved by China Sports Lottery Administration Centre for the research, development and production of sports lottery terminals and systems.

The Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. The Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder including the issue of the Consideration Shares are therefore subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the special general meeting of the Company. MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC and Mr. Sun, which are beneficially interested in an aggregate of 2,033,328,000 Shares representing approximately 56.66% of the total issued Shares, have given written consent to the Acquisition on 5 March 2010. The written consent from MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC and Mr. Sun is accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the Agreement; (ii) financial and other information of the Group; (iii) financial information of the Exequs Group; (iv) financial information of the Century Decai Group; (v) financial information of GOT; and (vi) unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group.

THE AGREEMENT

Date

5 March 2010

Parties

Purchaser: FAIRMAX ENTERPRISES LIMITED, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Vendor: SPEEDSUPER LIMITED

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, (i) the Vendor is an investment holding company; and (ii) the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are third parties independent of the Purchaser and the Company and their respective connected persons. The Group has not entered into any previous transactions with the Vendor or its associates which would otherwise require aggregation pursuant to Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets to be acquired

The Sale Shares (being a total of 50,000 issued shares in the share capital of Exequs), representing the entire issued share capital of Exequs.

The Sale Shares shall be acquired free from liens and encumbrances and together with all rights attached thereto from the date of Completion.

The Consideration

The Consideration for the Acquisition is HK$50 million which shall be satisfied as to HK$28 million in cash and as to the balance of HK$22 million by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares in the following manner:

  • (i) on the Completion Date, the Purchaser is required to deposit the amount of HK$15 million to the Vendor’s designated bank account and the Company shall allot and issue 57,894,000 Consideration Shares to the Vendor;

  • (ii) on or before 5 March 2011, the Purchaser is required to deposit the amount of HK$9.5 million to the Vendor’s designated bank account; and

  • (iii) within ten Business Days from the receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company showing full settlement of other receivables of Century Decai as at 28 February 2010 in the aggregate amount of RMB3,018,803.98 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,429,361.32), the Purchaser shall deposit the remaining balance in the amount of HK$3.5 million to the Vendor’s designated bank account.

The Consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, taking into account the financial performance of GOT as referred to in the paragraph headed “Information on the Exequs Group” below, the net asset value of the Exequs Group, the growth potential of the business of GOT and the possible future earnings contribution from the Exequs Group to the Group.

The issue price of approximately HK$0.38 per Consideration Share represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 28.8% over the closing price of HK$0.295 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 5 March 2010, being the date of the Agreement;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 31.5% over the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange over the last five consecutive trading days up to and including 5 March 2010 of HK$0.289 per Share;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 39.7% over the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange over the last ten consecutive trading days up to and including 5 March 2010 of HK$0.272 per Share;

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 5.6% over the closing price of HK$0.36 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) a premium of approximately 35.2% over the audited net asset value per Share attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 December 2009 of approximately HK$0.281.

The Consideration Shares, when issued, will rank pari passu with all other Shares in issue as at the date of issue. As set out in the announcement of the Company dated 5 March 2010, the Company initially considered to issue the Consideration Shares under a specific mandate to be approved by the Shareholders at a special general meeting of the Company. Taking into account that MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC and Mr. Sun had given written consent to the Acquisition on 5 March 2010, it would be burdensome for the Company just to hold a meeting to approve the issue of the Consideration Shares. In the circumstances, the Company decided that the Consideration Shares would be issued under the general mandate granted to the Directors by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 2 November 2009. An application has been made to the Listing Committee for the listing of and permission to deal in the Consideration Shares.

The Consideration Shares represent approximately (i) 1.61% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) 1.59% of the share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Consideration Shares. The aggregate nominal value of the Consideration Shares is HK$115,788. Upon the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares, there will not be any change in control of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Consideration Shares are subject to lock-up whereby the Vendor shall be restricted from transferring or disposing of any of the Consideration Shares from the date of the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares by the Company up to the date being six months after the date of the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares (both dates inclusive).

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Vendor agreed that the obligation on the part of the Exequs Group to repay the Shareholder’s Loan shall be waived entirely and neither the Purchaser nor the Exequs Group shall have any liability relating to the Shareholder’s Loan with effective from the Completion Date. As advised by the Vendor, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the outstanding amount of the Shareholder’s Loan was HK$10 million.

Conditions precedent

The Agreement is subject to and conditional upon the fulfillment or waiver of the following conditions:

  • (i) the Purchaser being satisfied with the results of the due diligence review on the Exequs Group;

  • (ii) all the representations and warranties given by the parties contained in the Agreement remaining true and accurate as at the Completion Date;

  • (iii) all commitments as set out in the Agreement being fulfilled by the Vendor before the Completion Date;

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) there being no material adverse changes in the operations, assets and liabilities, financial positions or profitability of the Exequs Group;

  • (v) there being no material adverse changes in the business of the Exequs Group caused by any laws, regulations or government policies in any jurisdictions in which the Exequs Group operates;

  • (vi) the transfer of the Sale Shares by the Vendor to the Purchaser being lawful and legal;

  • (vii) the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder including the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares having been approved by the Shareholders at a special general meeting of the Company or by written Shareholders’ approval in lieu of holding a special general meeting of the Company pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules;

  • (viii)the Listing Committee having granted the listing of and permission to deal in the Consideration Shares; and

  • (ix) the Purchaser having obtained all necessary consents and approvals from the relevant authorities in respect of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Purchaser shall have the right to waive conditions (i), (ii) (insofar as it relates to the Vendor), (iii), (iv) and (v); while the Vendor shall have the right to waive conditions (ii) (insofar as it relates to the Purchaser), (vi) and (ix). If the above conditions are not fulfilled or waived by 30 April 2010 (or such other later date as agreed by the Vendor and the Purchaser), the Agreement shall lapse and the obligations of the parties under the Agreement shall cease save for antecedent breaches.

Completion shall take place within five Business Days after the fulfillment or waiver of all the above conditions.

Its scope of business mainly includes the research and development of software and hardware products for computers and network systems, sales of computer systems and network technology solutions as well as the provision of information and technical support services. Save for 35% equity interest in GOT, Century Decai has no other material assets and has not undertaken any operations since its date of incorporation.

GOT

GOT was established in the PRC with limited liability in 1994 and is one of the largest terminal and system providers for sports lottery in the PRC. Initially, it was approved by the State Council and authorised by, among others, the Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation and the former Ministry of Electric Industry and was set up for the implementation of commercial terminal projects in the PRC. The scope of business provided by GOT was research and development, manufacturing and sales of commercial terminals in the PRC at that time.

In 1998, GOT became one of the vendors approved by China Sports Lottery Administration Centre for the research, development and production of sports lottery terminals and systems. In 2004, it established a manufacturing base in Beijing with annual production capability of over 200,000 units. After over 10 years of industry experience, GOT has built up superior research and development abilities in sports lottery terminals and systems and developed an extensive sales network in over 20 provinces and cities in the PRC. In addition, GOT has enhanced its after-sales services by setting up service centres in several provinces and cities across the PRC to handle product repair and provide technical support services. Through its efficient call centre system, under normal circumstances, GOT is able to respond to customers’ enquiries within 1 hour after receiving their calls and provide on-site maintenance services within 2 hours (for customers in urban areas) to 6 hours (for customers in rural areas) upon customers’ requests. GOT is recognised as a reputable brand in the PRC sports lottery field and was appraised by General Administration of Sport of China as the “Outstanding Company Contributing to Sports Lottery” in 2005.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, GOT is owned as to 35% by Century Decai and 65% by China Electronics Corporation (“CEC”). To the best knowledge of the Directors, CEC is the largest state-owned information technology enterprise established under the laws of the PRC in 1989 with the approval of the State Council of the PRC.

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Century Decai Group recorded audited profit (both before and after tax) of approximately RMB4.05 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.60 million). Based on the accountants’ report of GOT prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the audited profit before tax of GOT was approximately RMB21.75 million (equivalent to approximately HK$24.71 million) for the year ended 31 December 2008. The audited profit after tax of GOT was approximately RMB18.46 million (equivalent to approximately HK$20.97 million) for the year ended 31 December 2008. For the year ended 31 December 2009, GOT recorded audited profit before tax of approximately RMB15.11 million (equivalent to approximately HK$17.16 million) and audited profit after tax of approximately RMB12.82 million (equivalent to approximately HK$14.56 million). The audited consolidated net assets of the Exequs Group as at 31 December 2009 was approximately HK$36.21 million.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is a fully integrated solutions provider for the PRC sports lottery market and is principally engaged in the provision of (i) territorial management and marketing consultancy services; (ii) lottery shop and retail chain management and marketing consultancy services; (iii) research, design and development of lottery games and systems; and (iv) supply of lottery sales terminals and accessories in the PRC. The Group has operations in various provinces in the PRC.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2009, the Directors foresee strong prospects in the sports lottery sector in the PRC. It has been the intention of the management of the Company to identify suitable business opportunities to enhance the value of its PRC sports lottery business so as to strengthen its market leadership position, generate additional revenue for the Group and maximize return to the Shareholders.

It is expected that sports lottery sales will grow continuously with market opportunities to be brought about by 2010 South Africa World Cup, 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and the yearly NBA games in the United States of America. The Directors expect that China Sports Lottery Administration Centre and the relevant authorities will demand more advanced sports lottery terminals, systems and technologies to cope with such market opportunities. Considering that GOT is an established key industry player with cutting-edge technologies and is strongly supported by its controlling shareholder, CEC, the Directors believe that GOT is in a good position to develop new sports lottery projects for the government of the PRC. The

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Directors consider that the Acquisition would benefit all business divisions of the Group by providing excellent opportunities to further extend its sales network coverage into more provinces and cities in the PRC, thereby enhancing its market competitiveness and achieving potential synergies. Furthermore, the Directors believe that the Acquisition will enhance the Group’s new product research and development capabilities, in particular, the Group’s self-mastered innovation capabilities. The Group is able to rapidly establish a dynamic information technology platform to capture any future market opportunities in the PRC sports lottery industry through the Acquisition.

Based on the above industry growth drivers, the established operations of GOT and the current financial position of the Exequs Group, the Directors consider that there is a potential for GOT to bring a stable income stream to the Group and are of the view that the terms of the Agreement (including the issue price of the Consideration Shares) are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The cash portion of the Consideration is expected to be funded by the internal resources of the Group.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, GOT will be accounted for as an associated company of the Group by using equity method of accounting. As set out in Appendix II to this circular, GOT contributed approximately HK$5.10 million share of profit to the Exequs Group for the year ended 31 December 2009. In view of the historical earnings contribution from GOT, the Directors believe the Acquisition will widen the earnings base of the Enlarged Group.

Set out in Appendix V to this circular is the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group which illustrates the financial effect of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group assuming Completion had taken place on 31 December 2009. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information in Appendix V to this circular, the total assets of the Group would increase to HK$1,053.31 million from HK$1,036.01 million; and its total liabilities would increase to HK$30.56 million from HK$30.47 million, as a result of the Acquisition.

Shareholders should note that the earnings contribution from GOT after Completion will depend on the future performance of GOT; and the actual effect of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group will depend on the financial position of the Exequs Group as at the Completion Date, which cannot be quantified as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

After the Acquisition, the Group’s market competitiveness and market presence will be strengthened to capture business opportunities in the blooming sports lottery market in the PRC.

APPENDIX I

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the period ended 31 December 2009

1. GENERAL

The Company was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its issued Shares have been listed on GEM.

At 31 December 2009, the Directors regard MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC, a private limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, as the immediate and ultimate holding company of the Company.

The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the “Corporate Information” section of this annual report.

The Company is an investment holding company and its principal subsidiaries are mainly engaged in provision of sports lottery management and marketing consultancy services, supply of sports lottery sales terminals (and accessories) and provision of lottery advisory service in the PRC. Details of the principal activities of such principal subsidiaries are set out in Note 35.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars. The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi. As the Company is listed in Hong Kong, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to present the consolidated financial statements in Hong Kong dollars.

The Company announced on 10 December 2009 that the financial year end date of the Company was changed from 30 June to 31 December commencing from the financial year 2009. Accordingly, the financial statements for the current period cover the six-month period from 1 July 2009 to 31 December 2009. The corresponding amounts shown for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes cover the twelve-month period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009 and therefore may not be comparable with the amounts shown for the current period.

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

In the current period, the Group has applied all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations (the “new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.

HKAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs HKAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements HKAS 32 & HKAS 1 (Amendments) Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation HKAS 39 (Amendment) Eligible Hedged Items HKFRS 1 (Revised) First-time Adoption of HKFRSs HKFRS 1 & HKAS 27 (Amendments) Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate HKFRS 2 (Amendment) Vesting Conditions and Cancellations HKFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations HKFRS 7 (Amendments) Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments HKFRS 8 Operating Segments HK(IFRIC)-Int 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate HK(IFRIC)-Int 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation HK(IFRIC)-Int 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners HK(IFRIC)-Int 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2008 HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2009

Except as described below, the adoption of the new and revised HKFRSs has no material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the current and prior accounting periods.

– 21 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

New and revised HKFRSs affecting presentation and disclosure only

HKAS 1 (revised in 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements

HKAS 1 (2007) has introduced terminology changes (including revised titles for the consolidated financial statements) and changes in the format and content of the consolidated financial statements.

HKFRS 8 Operating Segments

HKFRS 8 is a disclosure standard that has not resulted in a redesignation of the Group’s reportable segments (see Note 8).

Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (Amendments to HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures)

The amendments to HKFRS 7 expand the disclosures required in relation to fair value measurements and liquidity risk. The Group has not presented comparative information for the expanded disclosures in accordance with the transitional provision set out in the amendments.

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective.

HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 20091
HKAS 24 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures4
HKAS 32 (Amendments) Classification of Rights Issues3
HKFRS 1 (Amendments) Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters2
HKFRS 2 (Amendments) Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions2
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (relating to the classification and
measurement of financial assets)6
HK (IFRIC)-Int 14 (Amendments) Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement4
HK (IFRIC)-Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity
Instruments5

Notes:

  • 1 Amendments that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010

  • 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011

  • 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010

  • 6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets.

In addition, as part of Improvements to HKFRSs (2009) , HKAS 17 Leases has been amended in relation to the classification of leasehold land. The amendments will be effective from 1 January 2010, with earlier application permitted. Before the amendments to HKAS 17, leasees were required to classify leasehold land as operating leases and presented as prepaid lease payments in the consolidated statement of financial position. The amendments have removed such a requirement. Instead, the amendments require the classification of leasehold land to be based on the general principles set out in HKAS 17, that are based on the extent to which risks and rewards incidental to ownership of a leased asset lie with the lessor or the lessee. The application of the amendments to HKAS 17 might not affect the classification and measurement of the Group’s leasehold land.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of other new and revised HKFRSs on the financial performance and financial position of the Group.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the GEM Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period 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.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the equity of the owners of the Company.

Allocation of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

Total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Prior to 1 July 2009, losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in excess of the non-controlling interests in the subsidiary’s equity were allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the non-controlling interests had a binding obligation and were able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries prior to 1 July 2009

Increases in interests in existing subsidiaries were treated in the same manner as the acquisition of subsidiaries, with goodwill or a bargain purchase gain being recognised where appropriate. For decreases in interests in subsidiaries regardless of whether the disposals would result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries, the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the share of net assets disposed of was recognised in profit or loss.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries after 1 July 2009

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest determined at the date when control is lost and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Where certain assets

of the subsidiary are measured at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to accumulated losses at the date when control is lost). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.

Business combinations

Business combinations prior to 1 July 2009

Acquisition of businesses was accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition was measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that met the relevant conditions for recognition were generally recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition was 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 assessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeded the cost of the business combination, the excess was recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The non-controlling interest in the acquiree was initially measured at the non-controlling interest’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

Contingent consideration was recognised, if and only if, the contingent consideration was probable and could be measured reliably. Subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration were recognised against goodwill.

Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Goodwill was determined at each step. Any additional acquisition did not affect the previously recognised goodwill.

Business combinations on or after 1 July 2009

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 (2008) are recognised at their fair values, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes and HKAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;

  • liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share-based payment awards are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment ; and

  • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.

– 24 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

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

Non-controlling interests may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

Where the consideration the Group transfers in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and considered as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments being made against goodwill or gain on bargain purchase. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period does not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

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

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss.

Changes in the value of the previously held equity interest recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity before the acquisition date are reclassified to profit or loss when the Group obtains control over the acquiree.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition of a business is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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

Investments in an associate

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

– 25 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are provided only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any impairment loss recognised is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in the associate. Any reversal of impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from projects involving the provision of lottery advisory service and enterprise solutions are recognised when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. The details of the revenue recognition are set out in the sub-section of “Construction contracts” as below.

Revenue from sports lottery management and marketing consultancy services is recognised when the services are rendered, the revenue can be reliably estimated and it is probable that the revenue will be received.

Revenue from the supply of sports lottery sales terminals (and accessories) is recognised when the sports lottery sales terminals (and accessories) are supplied to the customers.

Revenue from the sales of computer software products is recognised upon the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when goods are delivered to the customers and title has passed.

Revenue from separately priced product maintenance contracts, which is received or receivable from customers, is deferred and amortised on a straight-line method over the contracted period.

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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method.

– 26 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

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

Construction contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as an amount due from customers for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is shown as an amount due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the consolidated statement of financial position, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the consolidated statement of financial position under amounts due from customers for contract work.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the leases transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessee

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

Leasehold land for own use

The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case the entire lease is generally treated as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment. To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land is accounted for as operating leases and amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

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 respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the

– 27 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) 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 fluctuate 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 under the heading of foreign currency translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on the 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 end of the reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes (Mandatory Provident Fund scheme and state-managed retirement benefit schemes) are charged as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Share-based payment transactions

Share options granted to Directors, eligible employees and other eligible participants in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction

For grants of share options that are conditional upon satisfying specified vesting conditions, the fair value of services received is determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve). At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to share options reserve.

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

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

Share options granted to a consultant in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction

Share options granted in exchange for goods or services are measured at the fair values of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the goods or services received are measured by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The fair values of the goods or services received are recognised as expenses immediately, unless the goods or services qualify for recognition as assets. Corresponding adjustment has been made to equity (share options reserve).

Taxation

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

– 28 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately and with finite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Alternatively, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill below).

Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially measured at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Software licences

Expenditure on acquisition of software licences is measured initially at cost and amortised on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or licensing period, whichever is shorter.

– 29 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. In addition, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is indication that they may be impaired.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, 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 such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, 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 a revaluation increase under that standard.

Inventories

Inventories, including any materials for the construction contracts, are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method.

– 30 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets 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 profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets comprise those classified as loans and receivables. The accounting policy adopted is 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. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, amounts due from customers for contract work, other receivables, pledged bank deposits and bank balances) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are 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 investment have been affected.

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. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets 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

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (including trade payables and other payables, accruals and deposits received) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

– 31 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred, the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

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

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS 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 underlying 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 estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period.

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculations require the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and suitable discount rates in order to calculate the present values. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. At 31 December 2009, the carrying amount of goodwill is HK$663,365,373 (at 30 June 2009: HK$662,199,119). Details of the recoverable amount calculation are disclosed in Note 17.

– 32 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Impairment of intangible assets acquired in business combinations

At the end of the reporting period, management reconsidered the recoverability of the intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries, in which the carrying amount at 31 December 2009 is HK$96,072,050 (at 30 June 2009: HK$115,532,669). The businesses of the related subsidiaries continue to progress in a satisfactory manner. Sensitivity analysis has been carried out by management and no impairment is considered necessary at 31 December 2009. Adjustment will be made in future periods if future market activities indicate that adjustments for impairment are appropriate.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The Directors review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the Directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the Directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buybacks as well as the issue of new debt.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, other receivables, bank balances, pledged bank deposits, trade payables and other payables. 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.

Market risks

Currency risk

Transactional currency exposures arise from revenue or cost of sales and services by operating units in currencies other than the units’ functional currency. Substantially all the Group’s revenue and cost of sales and services are denominated in the functional currency of the operating units making the revenue, and substantially all the cost of sales and services are denominated in the units’ functional currency. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Group is not exposed to significant currency risk.

The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to variable-rate bank balances. The Group has not used any interest rate swaps in order to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

Price risk

As the Group has no significant investments in financial instruments at fair values, the Group is not exposed to significant price risk.

Credit risk

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations at 31 December 2009 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, the Group has 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 the end of the reporting period 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.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group has certain concentrations of credit risk as 83% (at 30 June 2009: 68%) and 99% (at 30 June 2009: 97%) of the Group’s trade receivables were due from the Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers, respectively.

Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are disclosed in Note 21.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Liquidity risk

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

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

(c) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows.

  • The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid and ask prices respectively.

  • The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis using observable and/or unobservable inputs).

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Application of HKFRS 8 Operating Segments

The Group has adopted HKFRS 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 January 2009. HKFRS 8 is a disclosure standard that requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) for the purposes of allocating resources to segments and assessing their performance. In contrast, the predecessor standard HKAS 14 Segment Reporting required an entity to identify two sets of segments, business and geographical, using a risks and returns approach. The Directors consider that the adoption of HKFRS 8 has not resulted in a redesignation of the reportable segments for the Group compared with the primary reportable segments determined in accordance with HKAS 14, nor has the adoption of HKFRS 8 changed the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss.

Under HKFRS 8, reported segment information is based on internal management reporting information that is regularly reviewed by the Directors, being the CODM of the Group. The measurement policies the Group used for segment reporting under HKFRS 8 are the same as those used in its HKFRS financial statements. The Directors assess segment profit or loss using a measure of operating profit whereby certain items, central administration costs, share-based payments, bank interest income and income tax are not included in arriving at the segment results of operating segments.

The Group’s operating segments under HKFRS 8 are as follows:

  • Sports lottery management and marketing consultancy services and supply of sports lottery sales terminals (and accessories) – provision of management and marketing consultancy services to SLACs and authorised operators of sports lottery, as well as supply of sports lottery sales terminals (and accessories) to the SLACs for certain municipality and provinces in the PRC (“Consultancy services”).

  • Lottery information technology solutions – provision of lottery advisory service to authorised operator of lottery in the PRC (“Information technology solutions”).

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made as there were no assessable profits for the year ended 30 June 2009 and for the period ended 31 December 2009.

On 26 June 2008, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed the Revenue Bill 2008 and reduced corporate profit tax rate from 17.5% to 16.5%, which is effective from the year of assessment 2008/2009. Hong Kong profits tax is calculated at 16.5% of the estimated assessable profits for both current and prior periods.

PRC subsidiaries are subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at 25% for both current and prior periods. Taxation arising in other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the relevant jurisdictions.

Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25% from 1 January 2008 onwards.

14. LOSS PER SHARE

From continuing and discontinued operations

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per Share is based on the loss attributable to owners of the Company from continuing and discontinued operations for the period ended 31 December 2009 of HK$35,370,999 (for the year ended 30 June 2009: HK$189,499,731) and the weighted average number of 3,581,563,261 Shares (for the year ended 30 June 2009: 3,580,211,712 Shares) in issued during the current and prior periods.

The computation of the diluted loss per Share does not assume the exercises of the Company’s share options as their exercises would decrease the loss per Share of both current and prior periods.

From continuing operations

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per Share attributable to owners of the Company from continuing operations is based on the following data:

Loss figures are calculated as follows:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The basis of the recoverable amounts of the above CGUs and their major underlying assumptions are summarised below:

Information technology solutions

The recoverable amount of this CGU is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period and a discount rate of 15.52% per annum. The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the discount rate, growth in revenue and direct costs during the period. The management estimates discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU.

Consultancy services

The recoverable amount of this CGU is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period and a discount rate of 15.52% per annum. The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the discount rate, growth in revenue and direct costs during the period. The management estimates discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU. In performing the impairment testing, the Directors have made reference to a valuation performed by an independent valuer.

During the year ended 30 June 2009 and the period ended 31 December 2009, management of the Group determined that there were no impairments of goodwill.

The credit terms granted to customers are varied and are generally the result of negotiations between individual customers and the Group. No interest is charged on trade receivables.

At 31 December 2009, 0.01% (at 30 June 2009: 35%) of the trade receivables are past due but not impaired. Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the period, approximately HK$14,410,000 (at 30 June 2009: approximately HK$6,551,000) is due from the Group’s largest customer.

Receivables that are past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, the Directors are of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in the credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor does it have a legal right of offsetting against any amounts owed by the Group to the counterparties.

31. RETIREMENT BENEFIT SCHEMES

The Group participates in employee social security plans as required by the regulations in the PRC and Macao. The Group also participates in the Mandatory Provident Fund scheme to which all qualified employees of the Group in Hong Kong are entitled. The assets of the retirement benefit schemes are held, separately from those of the Group, in funds under the control of the trustees. The employees of the subsidiaries in the PRC are members of social security schemes operated by the relevant local government authorities. The pension plans are funded by payments from employees and by the relevant group companies. The amounts charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income represent contributions payable by the Group at the specified rates according to the respective plans. The only obligation of the Group in respect of the retirement benefit schemes is to make the specified contributions.

32. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

The Share Option Scheme was adopted pursuant to a resolution passed on 18 November 2004 for the primary purpose of providing incentives to Directors and eligible participants (as defined in the Share Option Scheme), and will be expired 10 years commencing on the adoption of the Share Option Scheme. Under the Share Option Scheme, the Board may at its discretion grant options to eligible employees, including directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, certain consultants, suppliers or customers of the Group who, in the sole discretion of the Board, have contributed or will contribute or can contribute to the Group, to subscribe for Shares in the Company from time to time. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme, without prior approval from the Shareholders. The number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme to any individual in any one year is not permitted to exceed 1% of the Shares in issue at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme, without prior approval from the Shareholders.

Options granted to a Director, the chief executive or substantial Shareholder of the Company or any of their associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) require the approval of independent non-executive Directors (excluding an independent non-executive Director who is the prospective grantee in question). Options granted to substantial Shareholders or independent non-executive Directors or their respective associates in excess of 0.1% of the Company’s share capital and with a value in excess of HK$5 million must be approved in advance by the Shareholders.

Options granted must be taken up within 28 days of the date of grant, upon payment of HK$1 per option. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of grant of the share option to a period to be notified by the Board to each grantee at the time of making such offer, which shall not expire later than 10 years from the date of grant.

The subscription price of the share option is determined by the Board, and the amount will not be less than the higher of (a) the closing price of Shares on the Stock Exchange on the date of grant; (b) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the 5 business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (c) the nominal value of a Share on the date of grant.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

At the end of the reporting period, the number of Shares of which options had been granted and remained outstanding under the Share Option Scheme was 184,900,000 (at 30 June 2009: 185,400,000), representing approximately 5.16% (at 30 June 2009: approximately 5.18%) of the Shares of the Company in issue at that date.

During the period ended 31 December 2009, the Company measures the fair value of the share option granted to a consultant by reference to the fair value of services received. The total fair value of the share option granted to the consultant for the period ended 31 December 2009 amounted to nil.

The fair values of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2009 were calculated using the binominal model, details of which are as follows:

Date of grant Date of grant
11 July 2008 9 October 2008
Number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of options
granted 78,425,000 186,400,000
Estimated fair values of options granted HK$32,295,000 HK$16,487,000
Significant inputs into the model:
Closing share price at date of grant HK$0.75 HK$0.176
Exercise price HK$0.754 HK$0.2198
Expected volatility 67.45% – 89% 71% – 89%
Expected life of options 2 – 5 years 2 – 5 years
Risk-free interest rate 2.259% – 3.19% 1.175% – 2.269%
Dividend yield nil nil

Expected volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the share prices of other companies in the similar industry over the expected life of the options. No other feature of the options granted was incorporated into the measurement of fair values.

The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair values of the share options are based on the Directors’ best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

APPENDIX I

On 9 October 2008, certain options previously granted to certain Directors, eligible employees and other eligible participants were forfeited by cancellation. On the same date, the Company granted options carrying rights to subscribe a total of 186,400,000 Shares under the Share Option Scheme to certain Directors, eligible employees and other eligible participants, options carrying rights to subscribe 178,400,000 Shares were identified by the Company as replacement equity instruments for the cancelled equity instruments. The incremental value arising from the aforementioned cancellation and replacement was approximately HK$10,092,000, which represented the difference between the fair values of the replacement options and the fair values of the cancelled options at the date of the replacement options were granted. The fair values of the replacement options and cancelled options were estimated using the binominal method. The following table lists the inputs to the model used:

Number of Shares in Number of Shares in

cancelled options replacement options
Number of Shares to be issued upon exercise

Significant inputs into the model:
Closing share price at date of the replacement options
were granted HK$0.176 HK$0.176
Exercise price HK$0.754 – HK$1.802 HK$0.2198
Expected volatility 66.11% – 110.91% 71% – 89%
Expected life of options 2 – 5 years 2 – 5 years
Risk-free interest rate 0.138% – 2.238% 1.175% – 2.269%
Dividend yield nil nil

Expected volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the share prices of other companies in the similar industry over the expected life of the options. No other feature of the options granted was incorporated into the measurement of fair values.

The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair values of the share options are based on the Directors’ best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Notes to the financial information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Exequs was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on 12 September 2008. The sole director of Exequs regards SPEEDSUPER LIMITED, a private limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, as the immediate and ultimate holding company of Exequs. The address of the registered office and principal place of business of Exequs is P.O. Box 3444, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Exequs is an investment holding company and the principal activity of its subsidiary, Century Decai, is investment holding.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) which is different from the functional currency of Exequs, Renminbi (“RMB”), as the director of Exequs considers that for the conveniences of the Financial Information users, the results and financial position of the Exequs Group are expressed in HK$.

2. APPLICATION OF HKFRSs

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, Exequs Group has consistently applied HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS(s)”), amendments and interpretations (“INT”) issued by the HKICPA that are effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.

The Exequs Group has not early applied the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 20091 Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 20091
HKAS 24 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures4
HKAS 32 (Amendments) Classification of Rights Issues3

to
the
classification
and
measurement of financial assets)6

HK (IFRIC)-Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments5
  • 1 Amendments that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010

  • 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010

4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011

5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010

6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of the Exequs Group’s financial assets.

The director of Exequs anticipates that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the financial performance and financial position of the Exequs Group.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of Exequs and entities controlled by Exequs (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where Exequs has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period 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.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Exequs Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the equity of the owners of Exequs.

Allocation of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

Total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary is attributed to the owners of Exequs and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Prior to 1 July 2009, losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in excess of the noncontrolling interests in the subsidiary’s equity were allocated against the interests of the Exequs Group except to the extent that the non-controlling interests had a binding obligation and were able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Changes in the Exequs Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Exequs Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries prior to 1 July 2009

Increases in interests in existing subsidiaries were treated in the same manner as the acquisition of subsidiaries, with goodwill or a bargain purchase gain being recognised where appropriate. For decreases in interests in subsidiaries regardless of whether the disposals would result in the Exequs Group losing control over the subsidiaries, the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the share of net assets disposed of was recognised in profit or loss.

Changes in the Exequs Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries after 1 July 2009

Changes in the Exequs Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Exequs Group losing control over the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Exequs Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of Exequs.

When the Exequs Group loses control over a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest determined at the date when control is lost and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Where certain assets of the subsidiary are measured at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if Exequs had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to accumulated losses at the date when control is lost). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.

– 78 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Business combinations

Business combinations prior to 1 July 2009

Acquisition of businesses was accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition was 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 Exequs Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that met the relevant conditions for recognition were generally recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition was recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Exequs Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after assessment, the Exequs Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeded the cost of the business combination, the excess was recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The non-controlling interest in the acquiree was initially measured at the non-controlling interest’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

Contingent consideration was recognised, if and only if, the contingent consideration was probable and could be measured reliably. Subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration were recognised against goodwill.

Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Goodwill was determined at each step. Any additional acquisition did not affect the previously recognised goodwill.

Business combinations on or after 1 July 2009

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Exequs Group, liabilities incurred by the Exequs Group to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Exequs Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under HKFRS 3 (2008) are recognised at their fair values, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes and HKAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;

  • liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Exequs Group of an acquiree’s sharebased payment awards are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment ; and

  • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.

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

Non-controlling interests may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

– 79 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Where the consideration the Exequs Group transfers in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and considered as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments being made against goodwill or gain on bargain purchase. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period does not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

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

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Exequs Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Exequs Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss.

Changes in the value of the previously held equity interest recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity before the acquisition date are reclassified to profit or loss when the Exequs Group obtains control over the acquiree.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Exequs Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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

Investments in an associate

An associate is an entity over which the Exequs Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in this Financial Information using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition changes in the Exequs Group’s share of net assets of the associates, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. When the Exequs Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Exequs Group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Exequs Group’s net investment in the associate), the Exequs Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are provided only to the extent that the Exequs Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Exequs Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not

– 80 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any impairment loss recognised is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in the associate. Any reversal of impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

Any excess of the Exequs Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Exequs Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Exequs Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established.

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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

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

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 respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of Exequs’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income in the Financial Information and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss 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 other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

For the purpose of presenting Financial Information, the assets and liabilities of the Exequs Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Exequs Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) 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 fluctuate 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 under the heading of foreign currency translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

– 81 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

On disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Exequs Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of Exequs are reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Taxation

Taxation represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Tax currently payable is calculated based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and that are never taxable or deductible. The Exequs Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Exequs Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of the reporting period, the Exequs Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. In addition, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is indication that they may be impaired.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, 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.

– 82 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, 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 a revaluation increase under that standard.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets 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 profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Exequs Group’s financial assets comprise those classified as loans and receivables. The accounting policy adopted is 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. Loans and receivables (including other receivables, amount due from an associate, and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. 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 investment have been affected.

Financial assets

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. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets 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

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (including other payables and amount due to a shareholder) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

– 83 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by Exequs are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

The Exequs Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred, the Exequs Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Exequs Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Exequs Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Exequs Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Exequs Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

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

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Exequs Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Exequs Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Exequs 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 underlying 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 estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Exequs Group manages its capital to ensure that the entities in the Exequs Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Exequs Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged during the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of the Exequs Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of Exequs, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The management reviews the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, the Exequs Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and the issue of new shares.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Exequs Group’s major financial instruments include other receivables, bank balances, amount due from an associate, other payables and amount due to a shareholder. 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.

Market risks

Currency risk

Transactional currency exposures arise from transactions conducted by operating units in currencies other than the units’ functional currency. Substantially all the Exequs Group’s income and operating costs are denominated in the units’ functional currency. Accordingly, the management considers that the Exequs Group is not exposed to significant currency risk.

The Exequs Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Interest rate risk

The Exequs Group’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to variable-rate bank balances. The Exequs Group has not used any interest rate swaps in order to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

Price risk

As the Exequs Group has no significant investments in financial instruments at fair values, the Exequs Group is not exposed to significant price risk.

– 85 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

APPENDIX II

Credit risks

The Exequs Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations as at the end of reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, the Exequs Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management considers that the Exequs Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

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

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

(c) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid and ask prices respectively.

  • The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis using observable and/or unobservable inputs).

The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in Financial Information approximate their fair values.

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE EXEQUS GROUP

For the Relevant Periods

(a) Business review

Exequs was incorporated in the BVI on 12 September 2008 as an investment holding company with its only investment in the wholly-owned subsidiary Century Decai, which is in turn holding 35% equity interest in GOT. Exequs Group’s income is mainly related to the share of the profit or loss of its associate GOT.

(b) Financial review, financial position and capital structure

During the Relevant Periods, the respective net asset values as at 31 December 2008 and 2009 were HK$31,636,691 and HK$36,211,936 respectively. The respective share of profit of GOT for the period from 12 September 2008 to 31 December 2008 and for the year ended 31 December 2009 were HK$303,376 and HK$5,097,842. During the period from 12 September 2008 to 31 December 2008, the Exequs Group recorded an excess over the cost of a business combination of approximately HK$30.95 million as a result of the acquisition of Century Decai by Exequs on 16 December 2008. Taking this into account, the respective profits for the period from 12 September 2008 to 31 December 2008 and for the year ended 31 December 2009 were HK$31,249,191 and HK$4,575,245.

The respective bank balances as at 31 December 2008 and 2009 were HK$1,212,952 and HK$347,098 respectively, while the respective current liabilities (excluding the Shareholder’s Loan to be waived) as at 31 December 2008 and 2009 were HK$152,786 and HK$95,916 respectively.

During the Relevant Periods, the Exequs Group funded its operation by its internal resources and shareholder’s loan. There was no change in capital structure during the Relevant Periods. No financial instrument was used for hedging purposes during the Relevant Periods. Save for the acquisition of the 35% equity interest in GOT in 2008, there were no material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and associated companies during the Relevant Periods. There were no contingent liabilities and capital commitment as at 31 December 2008 and 2009.

(c) Employment and remuneration policy

During the Relevant Periods, the Exequs Group employed 1 staff. The respective staff cost for the period from 12 September 2008 to 31 December 2008 and for the year ended 31 December 2009 were HK$681 and HK$88,613. The remuneration policy was reviewed in line with the market conditions, current legislation and the performance of the staff.

(d) Future plan and prospects

As the Exequs Group’s main asset is the 35% equity interest in GOT, the management expected its prospects should be in line with the growing sports lottery sales market as mentioned in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Acquisition”.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CENTURY DECAI GROUP

APPENDIX III

Notes to the financial information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Century Decai was established in the PRC on 25 April 2007. At 31 December 2009, the directors of Century Decai regard Speedsuper Limited and Exequs, both private limited companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, as the ultimate and immediate holding company of Century Decai respectively. The address of the registered office and principal place of business of Century Decai is Room 909, Building No.1, Compound A6, Shuguang Xili, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the PRC.

Century Decai is an investment holding company.

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) which is same as the functional currency of Century Decai.

2. APPLICATION OF HKFRSs

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, Century Decai has consistently applied HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS(s)”), amendments and interpretations (“INT”) issued by the HKICPA that are effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.

Century Decai has not early applied the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

  • 1 Amendments that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of Century Decai’s financial assets.

The directors of Century Decai anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the financial performance and financial position of Century Decai.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CENTURY DECAI GROUP

APPENDIX III

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Investments in an associate

An associate is an entity over which Century Decai has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in this Financial Information using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition changes in Century Decai’s share of net assets of the associates, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. When Century Decai’s share of losses of an associate exceeds Century Decai’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of Century Decai’s net investment in the associate), Century Decai discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are provided only to the extent that Century Decai has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over Century Decai’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any impairment loss recognised is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in the associate. Any reversal of impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

Any excess of Century Decai’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an entity transacts with an associate of Century Decai, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of Century Decai’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established.

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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

– 104 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CENTURY DECAI GROUP

APPENDIX III

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

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 respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of Century Decai’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income in the Financial Information and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss 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 other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Taxation

Taxation represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Tax currently payable is calculated based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and that are never taxable or deductible. Century Decai’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which Century Decai expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

– 105 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CENTURY DECAI GROUP

APPENDIX III

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of the reporting period, Century Decai reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. In addition, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is indication that they may be impaired.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, 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 periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, 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 a revaluation increase under that standard.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets 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 profit or loss.

Financial assets

Century Decai’s financial assets comprise those classified as loans and receivables. The accounting policy adopted is 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. Loans and receivables (including other receivables, amount due from an associate and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. 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 investment have been affected.

Financial assets

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

– 106 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CENTURY DECAI GROUP

APPENDIX III

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets 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

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (including other payables and amount due to a shareholder) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by Century Decai are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Century Decai derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred, Century Decai has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Century Decai neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, Century Decai recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If Century Decai retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, Century Decai continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

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

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Century Decai has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that Century Decai will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CENTURY DECAI GROUP

APPENDIX III

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of Century Decai’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 underlying 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 estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Century Decai manages its capital to ensure that the entities will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. Century Decai’s overall strategy remains unchanged during the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of Century Decai consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of Century Decai, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The management reviews the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, Century Decai will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and the increase of registered capital.

APPENDIX III

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

Century Decai’s major financial instruments include other receivables, bank balances, amount due from an associate, other payables and amount due to a shareholder. 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.

Market risks

Currency risk

Transactional currency exposures arise from transactions conducted by operating units in currencies other than the units’ functional currency. Substantially all Century Decai’s income and operating costs are denominated in the units’ functional currency. Accordingly, the management considers that Century Decai is not exposed to significant currency risk.

Century Decai currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Interest rate risk

Century Decai’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to variable-rate bank balances. Century Decai has not used any interest rate swaps in order to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

Price risk

As the Century Decai has no significant investments in financial instruments at fair values, Century Decai is not exposed to significant price risk.

Credit risks

Century Decai’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations as at the end of reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, Century Decai reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management considers that Century Decai’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

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

(c) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid and ask prices respectively.

  • The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis using observable and/or unobservable inputs).

The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in Financial Information approximate their fair values.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

GOT was established in the PRC on 8 August 1994. The directors of GOT regard China Electronics Corporation, an enterprise established in the PRC, as the holding company of GOT. The registered office address of GOT is 11th Floor, Building No. 1 Jia, No. 66 Zhong Guan Cun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing, the PRC, and its principal place of business is 12th Floor, Building No. 1 Jia, No. 66 Zhong Guan Cun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing, the PRC.

The principle activities of GOT are research, development and production of sports lottery terminals and systems.

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) which is same as the functional currency of

GOT.

2. APPLICATION OF HKFRSs

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, GOT has consistently applied HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS(s)”), amendments and interpretations (“INT”) issued by the HKICPA that are effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.

GOT has not early applied the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011

  • 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of GOT’s financial assets.

The directors of GOT anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the financial performance and financial position of GOT.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from the supply of sports lottery sales terminals and systems is recognised when the sports lottery sales terminals and systems are supplied to the customers.

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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

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

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the leases transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

GOT as lessee

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

Leasehold land for own use

The land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case the entire lease is generally treated as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment. To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land is accounted for as operating leases and amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of GOT, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of GOT (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the

– 126 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of GOT’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income in the Financial Information and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss 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 other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes (State-managed retirement benefit schemes) are charged as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Taxation

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

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 of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and that are never taxable or deductible. GOT’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Intangible assets

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

– 127 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, GOT reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. In addition, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is indication that they may be impaired.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, 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 such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, 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 a revaluation increase under that standard.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when GOT becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

GOT’s financial assets comprise those classified as loans and receivables. The accounting policy adopted is set out below.

– 128 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, other receivable and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. 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 investment have been affected.

Financial assets

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. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets 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

Debt and equity instruments issued by GOT are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements 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 entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (including trade payables, and other payables, and borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by GOT are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

GOT derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred, GOT has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If GOT neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, GOT recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If GOT retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, GOT continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

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

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

– 129 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when GOT has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that GOT will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of GOT’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

GOT manages its capital to ensure that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. GOT’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior period.

The capital structure of GOT consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of GOT, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The management reviews the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, GOT will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buybacks as well as the issue of new debt.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

GOT’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, other receivables, bank balances and cash, trade payables, other payables, and borrowings. 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.

Market risks

Currency risk

Transactional currency exposures arise from revenue or cost of sales in currencies other than the GOT’s functional currency. Substantially all GOT’s transactions are denominated in the functional currency of GOT. Accordingly, the directors consider that GOT is not exposed to significant currency risk.

GOT currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Interest rate risk

GOT’s fair value interest rate risk primarily relates to fixed-rate borrowings, further details of these borrowings are set out in Note 23 to the Financial Information. GOT’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to variable-rate bank balances. GOT has not used any interest rate swaps in order to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.

Price risk

As GOT has no significant investments in financial instruments at fair values, GOT is not exposed to significant price risk.

– 131 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

Credit risk

GOT’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations as at the end of reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, GOT has monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, GOT reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors consider that GOT’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

GOT has certain concentrations of credit risk as 93%, 95% and 83% of GOT’s trade receivables at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively were due from five largest customers, respectively.

Further quantitative data in respect of GOT’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are disclosed in Note 17.

Liquidity risk

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

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

(c) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows.

  • The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid and ask prices respectively.

  • The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis using observable and/or unobservable inputs).

– 132 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the Financial Information approximate their fair values.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The directors review GOT’s internal financial reporting and other information and also obtains other relevant external information in order to assess performance and allocate resources and operating segment is identified with reference to these.

The directors consider that the business of GOT is organised in one operating segment as research, development and production of sports lottery terminals and systems in the PRC. Additional disclosure in relation to segment information is not presented as the directors assess the performance of the only operating segment identified based on the consistent information as disclosed in the financial statements.

The total net segment income is equivalent to total comprehensive income for the year as shown in the statement of comprehensive income and the total segment assets and total segment liabilities are equivalent to total assets and total liabilities as shown in the statement of financial position.

Details of interest income, depreciation and amortisation in relation to the operating segment are disclosed in Notes 8 and 11 below respectively.

GOT is established in the PRC with its major operations in the PRC. Total turnover and revenue represented the revenue from external customers arising from the supply of sports lottery terminals and systems in the PRC. Substantially all the assets and liabilities of GOT are located in the PRC.

The credit terms granted to customers are varied and are generally the result of negotiations between individual customers and GOT. No interest is charged on trade receivables.

At 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, approximately 1%, 1% and 3% of the trade receivables are past due but not impaired respectively. Of the trade receivables balance at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, RMB5,382,419, RMB22,658,825 and RMB29,432,350 are due from GOT’s largest customer.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to certain independent customers that have a good track record with GOT. Based on past experience, the directors are of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in the credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. GOT does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances nor does it have a legal right of offset against any amounts owed by GOT to the counterparty.

APPENDIX IV

2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF GOT

(a) Business review

GOT was established in the PRC on 8 August 1994 with registered and paid-up capital of RMB42,647,400. During the Relevant Periods, GOT was mainly engaged in research, development and production of sports lottery terminals and systems. GOT was one of the largest players in the PRC sports lottery terminals market with average market share of over 40% during the Relevant Periods.

(b) Financial review, financial position and capital structure

During the Relevant Periods, the respective net asset values were RMB70,974,296, RMB85,935,986 and RMB93,700,410. The respective revenues for the Relevant Periods were RMB111,123,298, RMB150,801,630 and RMB131,013,033, while the respective net profit after tax for the Relevant Periods were RMB16,374,591, RMB18,461,690 and RMB12,824,424. Due to the implementation of PRC government policy in 2008 requiring lottery shops to upgrade and/or replace their old lottery terminals, the demand for lottery terminals increased which boosted the revenue of GOT during that year. In light of this, GOT had an outstanding financial performance in 2008.

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the respective bank balances were RMB23,927,207, RMB30,507,826 and RMB34,949,840. While, the respective net current assets were RMB57,674,073, RMB99,927,013 and RMB98,196,101.

During the Relevant Periods, GOT funded its operation by its internal resources and borrowings from a finance company controlled by China Electronics Corporation (“CEC”). The above interest-bearing borrowings were secured by the properties held by GOT. No financial instrument was used for hedging purposes during the Relevant Periods. There were no material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and associated companies during the Relevant Periods. Save for the provision for warranties to customers on product repair and replacement, GOT had no contingent liabilities and capital commitment as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009.

(c) Employment and remuneration policy

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the total number of employees of GOT were 117, 134 and 96 respectively. The respective staff costs for the Relevant Periods were RMB8,118,357, RMB11,730,294 and RMB9,836,184. The remuneration policy was reviewed in line with the market conditions, current legislation and the performance of the individual staff.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOT

APPENDIX IV

(d) Future Plan and Prospects

GOT is an established key industry player with cutting-edge technologies. Leveraging on its continuous robust investment in research and development together with strong support from its controlling shareholder CEC, the management expected that GOT will continue to develop new technologies for the sports lottery industry in the PRC so as to capture those market opportunities as mentioned in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Acquisition” in the letter from the Board.

(e) Details of charges on assets

The carrying amounts of pledged properties for the borrowings from a finance company controlled by CEC were nil as at 31 December 2007, RMB12,314,560 as at 31 December 2008 and RMB11,697,976 as at 31 December 2009.

(f) Borrowings and gearing ratio

As at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the total borrowings outstanding were nil, RMB41,000,000 and RMB20,000,000. The gearing ratios (based on total borrowings over total equity) were approximately nil, 48% and 21% respectively.

(g) Foreign exchange exposure

Since the operations of GOT are in the PRC and most of the transactions, monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, GOT’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group (the “Pro Forma Financial Information”) has been prepared by the Directors to illustrate the effect of the proposed Acquisition.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX V

Notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information:

  1. The balances have been extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2009 as shown in the published annual report of the Company for the period ended 31 December 2009 as set out in Appendix I to this circular.

  2. The adjustment reflects the inclusion of the assets, liabilities and equity of the Exequs Group as if the proposed Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2009. The balances have been extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Exequs Group as at 31 December 2009 as set out in Appendix II to this circular.

  3. The adjustments reflect (i) the estimated fair value of the total consideration for the proposed Acquisition of HK$42,357,712, comprising fair value of cash consideration of HK$28,000,000 and estimated fair value of the Consideration Shares of HK$14,357,712 (based on the issue of 57,894,000 Consideration Shares by the Company to the Vendor valued at the published closing price of HK$0.248 each on 31 December 2009); and (ii) the payment of the estimated costs directly attributable to the proposed Acquisition of approximately HK$1,003,000 by the Group from its internal resources, as if the proposed Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2009.

Since the actual dates of settlement of the total consideration for the proposed Acquisition and the estimated costs directly attributable to the proposed Acquisition would be different from the assumptions used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, the actual financial position arising from the proposed Acquisition might be materially different from the financial position as shown in this Appendix.

  1. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Vendor agreed that the obligation on the part of the Exequs Group to repay the Shareholder’s Loan shall be waived entirely and neither the Purchaser nor the Exequs Group shall have any liability relating to the Shareholder’s Loan with effective from the Completion Date. The adjustment reflects the waiver of the Shareholder’s Loan due and owing to the Vendor, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on.

  2. The adjustments reflect the estimated bargain purchase gain arising from the proposed Acquisition of HK$3,852,003 and the elimination of the share capital and pre-acquisition reserves of the Exequs Group, as if the proposed Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2009.

For the purpose of the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, the estimated bargain purchase gain arising from the proposed Acquisition represents the excess of the consolidated net assets of the Exequs Group of HK$46,209,715 (which have taken into account the waiver of Shareholder’s Loan of HK$9,997,779 as of 31 December 2009), over the estimated fair value of the total consideration for the proposed Acquisition of HK$42,357,712 as referred to in note 3 above. For the purpose of the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, the consolidated net assets of the Exequs Group as at 31 December 2009 have been assumed to approximate the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Exequs Group upon completion of the proposed Acquisition.

Since the actual fair value of the Consideration Shares and the actual fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Exequs Group upon completion of the proposed Acquisition would be different from their estimated fair values used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, the actual financial position arising from the proposed Acquisition might be materially different from the financial position as shown in this Appendix.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY AND THE REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS

It is the responsibility solely of the directors of the Company to prepare the Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 7.31 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

It is our responsibility to form an opinion, as required by paragraph 7.31(7) of the GEM Listing Rules, on the Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements (HKSIR) 300 “Accountants’ Reports on Pro Forma Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Our work consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Pro Forma Financial Information with the directors of the Company. This engagement did not involve independent examination of any of the underlying financial information.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated, that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group and that the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 7.31(1) of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Pro Forma Financial Information is for illustrative purposes only, based on the judgments and assumptions of the directors of the Company, and, because of its hypothetical nature, does not provide any assurance or indication that any event will take place in the future and may not be indicative of the financial position of the Enlarged Group as at 31 December 2009 or any future date.
