Chairman’s statement
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the board (“Board”) of directors (“Directors”) of Jujiang Construction Group Co. Limited (“Jujiang Construction” or the “Company”, together with the subsidiaries, the “Group”), I hereby present the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2016.
In 2016, the Chinese economy continued to face many prominent conflicts and problems, such as the conflict between excess capacity and upgrading of demand structure, the insufficient growth momentum in the country, and the piling up of financial risks. In the real estate market, inventory of property was still considerably high facing a structural imbalance in the market, thus the reduction of inventory remained the key tone of the sector during the year. Against this backdrop, the construction industry suffered from a declining demand and a slowdown in growth, exerting greater pressure on construction companies. The new dynamics and issues under the “New Normal” put forward a call for us to accurately capture the current situation, in order to survive and seek opportunities for developments, while working hard to surmount the pressure and challenges.
As an enterprise holding a Premium Class Certificate for General Building Construction Contracting Work (“Premium Class Certificate”) and a Grade A Engineering Design (Construction Industry) Certificate (“Engineering Design Certificate”), the Company integrated its resources in 2016, fully drew on its strengths in general contracting of design and construction projects, pressed ahead in full steam a structural adjustment in its businesses, while actively optimising its market layout. In terms of client selection, the Company gradually shifted to seeking influential, large-scale clients of which strategic partnerships could be established. As at the end of 2016, the Company has built relationships with a dozen of quality major customers, including Country Garden Holdings Company Limited (“Country Garden”), China Vanke Co., Ltd. (“Vanke”), Greentown China Holdings Limited (“Greentown”), Jiayuan Chuangsheng Holding Group Co., Ltd. (“Jiayuan”), Sunac China Holdings Limited (“Sunac”), Zhenshi Holding Group Co., Ltd. (“Zhenshi”) and Tongkun Group Co., Ltd.*(桐昆集團股份有限公司) (“Tongkun”). At the same time, the Company shifted its focus to acquire “high-end, large-scale, exquisite and demanding” projects, and has undertaken several key high-end projects including Phase One of CCTV New Film Tongxiang Park and Puyuan Woolen Sweater Town.
As regulations imposed on the construction industry become more stringent, and requirements from the society and customers continue to rise, standardised operation and meticulous management demand immediate implementation. Innovation in technological management is crucial to enhance the core competitiveness of construction enterprises.
In 2016, Jujiang Construction established a standardised construction management system at the institutional level to put forward the implementation of model display and actual construction by categories at different levels through a set of optimised construction standard guidelines. The Company also promoted standardised construction process on the operational level. Paying close attention to quality, the Company sought to improve the overall quality of actual construction works through standardised construction process and on-site inspection and assessment. In terms of safety enhancement, the Company reinforced its visual identification system development, conducted inspection on various projects, and commenced the regulation of safety inspection on construction projects in an orderly manner. To ensure project progress was maintained, the Company formulated a comprehensive schedule to keep track of ledgers, so as to grasp full control of the actual progress of projects. In particular, the application of Building Information Modelling Technology (“BIM Technology”) in pilot projects has successfully improved the standard of comprehensive management in building construction.
Facing a prolonged period of housing bubbles, the Central Economic Work Conference laid down a key tone of “promoting steady and healthy development” for the property market in 2017. Under such context, the Company, as a leading construction enterprise in Jiaxing City, will firmly establish and fully uphold the five major ideas of development – innovation, coordination, green, opening up and sharing, proactively adapt to the economic dynamics in the “New Normal”, taking the three key strategies as its direction, maintaining speed and efficiency, while ensuring scale and quality. The Company will expedite its transformation with reforms and innovation as its key driving forces, focus on lifting market competitiveness, put forward the five major types

Chairman’s statement
of building construction, work well on stabilising growth, promoting reforms, adjusting structures, enhancing supervision and alleviating risks, thereby continuing to improve the Company’s economic strength and operational capability.
Following the working direction of “active concern, strength accumulation, and immediate follow-up”, the Company proactively explored new aspects for development in the industry and new points for business growth. Adopting the model of general contracting of construction works, the Company seized the opportunities emerging from the promotion of pilot projects for general contracting of construction works in Zhejiang province, with an aim to enhance its core capabilities in general contracting. The Company also stepped up its efforts in nurturing a project management team for general contracting with capabilities in design, procurement and construction, thereby expanding its business scope to Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects. As for public-private partnership (PPP) operations, the Company established a PPP centre in a timely manner to organise a platform for the implementation of PPP models, in order to expand to the PPP market. The Company also continued to pay close attention to the industrialisation of building construction and green construction.
Following the path of “piloting at points, fanning out from points to areas and popularising gradually”, the Company established the BIM Technology Research Institute. Through pragmatic operations and conclusion of findings from the new technologies adopted in pilot projects, the Company was able to speed up the promotion of BIM technology applications.
Making reference to analyses on the internal and external environment, the Company will accelerate its research and strategic deployments for the further development of the “Going out” strategy. It will focus mainly on developed coastal areas and actively expand to first- and second-tier cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, while selectively exploring the central and western markets, so as to establish a nationwide presence centring on Yangtze River Delta. At the same time, in line with the Chinese government’s continuous promotion of the “One Belt One Road” initiative, the Company will proactively identify opportunities for international contracting business, realising the “Going out” strategy by leveraging on the strengths of major clients, so as to achieve a breakthrough in offshore business.
Relying on the listing platform, the Company will actively integrate its resources and continue to strengthen its “brand” strategy. On one hand, the Company will seek to acquire “high-end, large-scale, exquisite and demanding” projects and regional landmark projects to increase the proportion of large-scale exquisite projects; on the other hand, it will proactively maintain the existing stable and large customer base, enhance its partnership with major customers, and seek opportunities for new projects so as to reinforce the results of cooperation. At the same time, the Company will actively identify major potential clients in the future and seek ways to establish partnerships with them, striving to develop a new strong customer base which can offer sustainable development and stable business.
Looking ahead, as the Chinese government continues to push forward with its “One Belt One Road” initiative, along with ongoing urbanisation across the country and more investment in infrastructure and environmental protection, the construction industry will remain as a vital driving force for China’s economic growth and a market with great potential and promising prospect. Jujiang Construction will, with more determination in development, greater awareness of its responsibilities and stronger execution capabilities, seize every opportunity, stand firm at a new starting point to tackle the “New Normal”, and strive to bring forth a new round of development.
In closing, I thank you, our Board, staff, shareholders, and business partners for your continued trust and support.

MARKET REVIEW
China’s rapid economic growth over the years has spurred the development of its construction industry. Given China’s continuous urbanization in relation to improving community functions and facilities in urban areas, the demand for construction industry is expected to maintain its momentum. The urbanization rate of China was 57.4% in 2016. Urbanization rate represents the rate of change in the size of the urban population over a certain period. According to the report by Ipsos, by 2020, it is projected that approximately 100 million of the rural population will settle in urban areas, which will bring significant demand for new urban residential construction. In line with the historical trend of increases in the average fee for construction projects, the total output value of construction industry in China increased from approximately RMB18,075.7 billion for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB19,356.7 billion for the year ended 31 December 2016, representing an increase of 7.1%.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue and gross profit margin
Revenue decreased by approximately 8.9% from approximately RMB4,424.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB4,032.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2016. The decrease in the revenue was mainly a result of the decrease in revenue from commercial construction projects as a result of completion of some major projects in 2015, partly offset by an increase in revenue from residential construction projects as a result of recovery of the residential real estate market during the year. The Group co-operated with some mega property developers, such as Vanke and Greentown, for the residential projects in 2016, it was a new driver for the Group to maintain the revenue growth in residential sector.
Gross profit decreased by approximately 3.6% from approximately RMB233.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB224.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 mainly due to the decrease in business activities of the construction contracting business for the reasons discussed above. The gross profit margin improved from approximately 5.27% for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately 5.57% for the year ended 31 December 2016, such increase is mainly attributing to (i) increase in gross profit margins of the commercial and residential projects after the Group obtained the Premium Class Certificate and the Engineering Design Certificate on 28 January 2015 and (ii) the Group was in line with their strategies to focus on quality customers and high-margin projects.
Other income and gains
Other income and gains increased by approximately 119.6% from approximately RMB9.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB20.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily because of an one-off government grants of approximately RMB11.5 million in relation to the Listing and a dividend income from an available-for-sale investment amounting to approximately RMB3.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Administrative expenses
The administrative expenses increased by approximately 0.2% from approximately RMB73.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB73.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 which remained stable.
Other expenses
Other expenses changed from an income of approximately RMB9.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to an expenditure of approximately RMB4.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, primarily as a result of a reversal of provision made for impairment for other receivables by approximately RMB8.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 as a provision for impairment for other receivables amounting to approximately RMB2.3 million was made for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Income tax expense
Income tax expenses decreased by 5.8% from approximately RMB35.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB33.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily because of decrease in revenue. The effective tax rate increased from 26.7% for the year ended 31 December 2015 to 27.2% for the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily because of increase in tax losses not recognized and non-deductible expenses.
Profit for the year
Profit for the year decreased by approximately 8.4% from approximately RMB98.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB90.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, such decrease was in line with decrease in revenue. The net profit margin maintained at approximately 2.23% and approximately 2.24% for the year ended 31 December 2015 and 2016, respectively.
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Group’s operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities, net proceeds received from the global offering of H share of the Company (“Global Offering”) completed in January 2016 and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings. As of 31 December 2016 and 2015, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB65.0 million and approximately RMB49.2 million, respectively.
Treasury Policies and Objectives
The Group monitors the cash flows and cash balance on a regular basis and seek to maintain optimal level of liquidity that can meet the working capital needs while supporting a healthy level of business and its various growth strategies. In the future, the Group intends to finance its operations through cash generated from operating activities, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings. Other than normal bank borrowings that the Group obtain from commercial banks and potential debt financing plans, the Group does not expect to have any material external debt financing plan in the near future.
Amounts due from contract customers
The amounts due from contract customers increased from approximately RMB2,720.3 million as of 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB2,998.3 million as of 31 December 2016, representing 69.7% and 71.0% of the total current assets as of the same dates. The proportion of the amounts due from contract customers to the total current assets was stable. Increase in absolute amounts of amounts due from contract customers primarily because of the usual timing difference between the date of completion of construction works and the date of progress billings and the duration of the construction projects typically range from one to three years leading to an accumulated effect of the balance of amounts due from contract customers.
Borrowings and charge on assets
As of 31 December 2016, the Group relied on interest-bearing bank and other borrowings in the amount of approximately RMB644.5 million (31 December 2015: approximately RMB699.1 million) which are repayable within 1 year and carried effective interest rate with a range from 4.4% to 21.6% per annum (31 December 2015: 4.8% to 21.6% per annum).

Gearing ratio
The gearing ratio decreased from 82.6% as at 31 December 2015 to 55.8% as at 31 December 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to a steady increase in the total equity during the year and the net proceeds from the Global Offering.

Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditures increased from approximately RMB0.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB21.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2016 primarily because the Group used the net proceeds from the Global Offering for purchase of new equipment and machinery to undertake larger-scale and more complex construction projects.

FUTURE PROSPECTS
The Group’s goal is to continue to capture greater market share in Zhejiang Province and in other provinces and regions in China, as well as expand the presence overseas to become a leading construction contracting and design company in selected regions. To achieve this goal, the Group intend to pursue the following strategies:
Leverage the Premium Class Certificate and Engineering Design Certificate to provide complete construction solutions for larger-scale and more complex construction projects
The Group plans to leverage the Premium Class Certificate and Engineering Design Certificate to provide fully-integrated construction solutions, which consist of general construction contracting and design, survey and consultancy services for building construction projects of all types and scales nationwide. As of 31 December 2016, the Group was one of the few holder of both the Premium Class Certificate and Engineering Design Certificate in Zhejiang Province. Leveraging the favorable position in the industry, the Group intends to undertake larger-scale and more complex construction projects. As profitability generally increases with the size and complexity of construction projects, undertaking such construction projects will enable us to enhance the profitability. Moreover, undertaking projects where the Group provides construction general contracting

and design, survey and consultancy services allows us to vertically integrate the business. The Group will be able to take into account the costs and have better control over quality at the earlier design stage of the construction project. To facilitate the undertaking of larger-scale and more complex construction projects, the Group plans to apply a portion of the proceeds from the Listing to procure new equipment and machinery used in the construction projects, including jacks and lifting equipment.
The Group intends to leverage the Premium Class Certificate and Engineering Design Certificate to establish business relationships with new and well-recognized customers build the track record of prominent construction projects and enhance the brand exposure. With increased exposure and more prominent construction projects in the portfolio, the Group intends to augment the reputation in Zhejiang Province and in other provinces and regions in China. The Group expects that the augmented reputation will allow us to undertake increasingly more prominent construction projects where the Group will be able to charge a premium price for the services. The Group plans to leverage the position in Zhejiang Province holding both certificates to gain more bargaining power for favorable prices for raw materials and equipment and machinery, which will lower the costs and enhance the profitability.
Develop business opportunities to undertake BT and PPP projects
The Group believes that build-transfer (BT) and PPP projects are attractive business opportunities that offer higher profit margins due to the increased ability to provide financing, control project costs and manage returns on the project. Moreover, according to Ipsos, an increasing number of infrastructure projects in China are expected to be completed on a BT or PPP basis in the coming years. As such, the Group intends to develop business opportunities to undertake more projects on a BT or PPP basis in the future. Under both BT and PPP models, the Group would generally be responsible for financing, investment, management and construction of the project. The Group believes that BT and PPP projects will enhance the profitability and brand recognition, and the Group intends to selectively undertake such projects in the future. BT and PPP projects are both awarded to qualified construction companies through a public bidding process held by relevant government authorities. The Group intends to leverage the strong relations with the local Jiaxing government and the track record of high-quality public works construction projects to win such projects. By gaining expertise and developing the reputation as a premium BT and PPP service provider, the Group plans to develop the BT and PPP operations in other regions of Zhejiang Province and other provinces and regions in China. Given the significant upfront investment required to undertake such projects, the Group also plans to finance future projects through a combination of the working capital and bank borrowings.
Capture opportunities in the international market and actively participate in overseas construction and infrastructure projects
The Group’s vision is to become an internationally recognized construction solutions provider. In line with the strategy to expand the business internationally, the Group obtained the Overseas Contracting Certificate (對外承包工程資格證書) in 2010, allowing us to undertake construction projects overseas. The Group intends to conduct overseas business development and participate in overseas construction and infrastructure projects more actively as increased outbound investment and business activities are expected in line with the Belt and Road Initiative (一帶一路) recently announced by the PRC Government. The purpose of the Belt and Road Initiative is to integrate countries in Europe and Asia and develop closer regional ties through building infrastructure and broadening trade. As the PRC Government and various financial institutions devote increased funding to this initiative, the Group expects to see more infrastructure development projects being announced in the coming years. The Group plans to capitalize on such an opportunity to expand overseas and augment the reputation and brand recognition. As the Group undertakes more BT and PPP projects domestically, the Group intends to leverage the experience the Group will gain in undertaking such projects to embark on overseas infrastructure development projects in the future.

Actively developed the Building Information Modelling Technology
The Group believes that with the development of science and technology, advanced technology plays a major role in promoting the development of the industry. Currently, the construction industry is advocating application of the information technology BIM Technology throughout the whole process of project design, construction, operation and maintenance to enhance overall benefits. As important technological measures of promoting innovative development of the building and construction industry, application and promotion of the BIM Technology will have an immense impact on the scientific and technological advancement as well as the transformation and upgrade of the building and construction industry. The Group has aligned itself with industry trends to fully leverage the advantages of the BIM Technology, fully pushing forward the progress of applying the BIM Technology to the Zhenshi Headquarters Building (振石總部大樓) project. To prepare itself for future development, the Group has also gradually developed pilot projects including Xianghu Leisure Manor (湘湖逍遙莊園), Scientific Innovation Park Phase II (科創園二期) and Municipal Utility Ducts (市政管廊). The Group will strengthen its BIM Technology team, and through professional training and technological exchanges, a professional core team has initially been set up, with a group of BIM Technology application technical staff in place in the project department.

KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Business and market
Demand for services and products of the Group is cyclical in nature and directly correlates with the level of real estate development and construction activities in China and in regions and provinces in which the Group operate, including Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, where a majority of the construction projects awarded to the Group were located during the year. The real estate industry and the construction industry are sensitive to economic fluctuations and market uncertainty, and are closely controlled and monitored by the PRC Government through policymaking. The PRC financial market has experienced significant fluctuations in recent months. They cannot assure Group that such fluctuations will not negatively affect the overall economic condition in China or the real estate or construction industry in China. Revenue from the real estate industry and the construction industry may be adversely affected if the growth of the PRC economy slows down or enters into recession, or if fixed capital investment is reduced, including any reduction in infrastructure investment by the PRC Government. The ongoing projects, in which the Group have invested significant resources and capital, may be put on hold or stopped if economic conditions deteriorate, and the Group may be unable to collect payments and recover our costs.
In addition, the Group are susceptible to the adverse changes in national or local policies related to the PRC real estate industry and construction industry, including those that control the supply of land for property development, project financing, foreign investment and taxation. During the year, the PRC Government implemented various regulations and policies aimed to cool the real estate market and the inflation of property prices. Various property price control policies have been implemented in recent years, including limitations on the purchase of property outside the province of registered residence, restrictions on real estate loans and higher interest rates for second-hand property transactions, among others. More recently, the PRC Government lowered interest rates to stimulate the slowing real estate industry and associated industries, including the construction industry. These policies may affect the level of activity in the PRC real estate industry, and in turn affect the number of construction projects available to the Group prices. The management of the Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Accident rate Analysis
For the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016, the accident rate on the Group’s construction projects was 0.55 and 0.46 workplace accidents for every 1,000 workers, respectively. The Group accident rate equals the number of workplace accidents (including fractures and other injuries) during the relevant year or period divided by the annual average number of workers on our construction projects (including our project management personnel and subcontracted workers). Moreover, a table showing the Group’s lost time injuries frequency rates (“LTIFR(s)”) (Note) is set out below:
For the years ended 31 december
2015 Less than 0.01 2016 Less than 0.01
Note: LTIFR is a frequency rate that shows how many lost time injuries occurred over a specified time (e.g. per 1,000,000 hours) worked in a period. The LTIFRs shown above are calculated by using the total labour hours worked per year to divide the number of recordable cases and multiply by 1,000,000. It is assumed that the working hours of each worker is 10 hours per day.
For the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016, the number of workplace accidents (including fractures and other injuries) occurred on our construction sites was five and five respectively.
Having considered the number of accidents and fatalities nationally and in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2016, Directors believe that we did not have a high accident or fatality number during the year ended 31 December 2016.
Supply chain Management
The Group recognise that supply chain management is essential in improving operational efficiency, and therefore we work closely with our suppliers and contractors to meet customers’ needs in an effective and efficient manner, while emphasising responsible operating practices. In addition, the Group is closely monitor the budget and materials used in order to avoid unnecessary waste and increase to use recyclable material in the projects.
We manage the procurement of principal raw materials separately from the procurement of other raw materials. Other raw materials are procured by the project management department upon receiving approval from the procurement department. As for principal raw materials, the procurement department maintains a list of qualified suppliers, from which the project management department procures on an as-needed basis. Qualified suppliers are selected based on various criteria, including pricing, quality, record of timely delivery, location, supply capacity, credit terms, environmental protection assessment and customer service. The list of qualified suppliers is reviewed annually. During the reporting period, all of our major suppliers were domestic companies, with whom we have established long-term relationships of three to ten years. We may procure principal raw materials from suppliers not on the list of qualified suppliers only in special circumstances and such procurement must be reviewed by the relevant project manager and approved by the procurement department.
Most of our equipment and machinery are procured domestically from manufacturers in China, with whom we have established long-term relationships. We select our equipment and machinery suppliers based on numerous factors, including quality, pricing, reputation and aftersales services. We have in place a strict policy and approval system for the procurement of equipment and machinery.

To the shareholders of Jujiang Construction Group Co., Ltd. (Established in People’s Republic of China with limited liability)
opInIon
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Jujiang Construction Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 53 to 112, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
BasIs for opInIon
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the .Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”) issued by the HKICPA, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audIt matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Key audit matter:
How our audit addressed the key audit matter:
Percentage of completion of construction and related construction contract revenue and cost
The Group provides construction contracting services to its customers and the construction revenue and costs are recognised on the percentage of completion method (“POC”). The POC of a construction contract is estimated by reference to the completed construction works certified by a construction surveyor. Budgeted construction costs are prepared by the management factoring the complexity of the construction project, material and labor, and assumptions and estimates need to account for variability of other cost components. The recognition of construction revenue and costs involve significant judgment and estimates, whereby the Group reviews and revises the estimates of construction revenue and costs, as appropriate, based on variation orders requested by customers, as construction progresses. Considering the significance of the surveyors’ certification and the estimates and assumptions used in computing the construction revenue and costs, the construction revenue and costs accounts are considered as most significance to our audit.
The Group’s disclosures about construction revenue and cost are included in Note 3.3 – Summary of significant accounting policies, Note 4 – Significant accounting judgements and estimates, as well as in Note 6 – Revenue, other income and gains to the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit procedures included, amongst others, the assessment of the Group’s controls over the estimation of the POC of construction contracts, the construction costs budgeting process, and the budget updating process for variation order. We tested the POC of selected construction projects through confirmation procedure with related construction surveyors. We interviewed selected surveyors to understand their procedures to certify completed construction works and POC. We assessed their professional qualification, objectivity and independence for establishing the basis of our understanding on their representation. We also observed selected construction work sites that were certified by the construction surveyors to assess consistency between the construction status and the related POC used for estimating the construction revenue and costs. We evaluated the assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in determining the budgeted construction costs. We reviewed the supporting documentations of construction costs to evaluate the budgeting process. We discussed and assessed management’s estimates with taking into account the historical accuracy of such estimates. On a sample basis, we compared the actual construction revenue and costs with the contract revenue and budgeted costs for completed projects, considering the effect of variation orders and reviewing the project gross margin for trend analysis. We also recomputed the related construction revenue and costs based on the POC and budgeted revenue and costs.

Independent audItor‘s report
Recoverability of receivables
The Group’s receivables mainly consist of trade receivables, deposits and other receivables. Trade receivables represent progress billings raised to the Group’s customers related to certified construction work performed by the Group based on construction contract terms. Trade receivables also include retention fees withheld by the Group’s customers until the expiration of the warranty period. Deposit and other receivables mainly consist of construction performance guarantees held by the Group’s customers which will be released to the Group upon the completion of the construction projects. The determination as to whether the receivables are collectable requires a high level of management judgment and estimates, whereby the Group considers specific factors including the age of the balances, location of customers, existence of disputes, historical payment patterns and any other relevant information concerning the creditworthiness of the counterparties. Given the significant judgment and estimates used in assessing the provision for impairment of the receivables, the assessment of the recoverability of receivables is considered most significance to our audit.
Our audit procedures included, among others, the assessment of the Group’s controls over the receivables collection process and assessment of provision for impairment at each year end. On a sample basis, we confirmed the receivable balances with the related counterparties in writing. We assessed the aging of selected receivables by checking to the related supporting documentations. We assessed management’s judgment and estimates in assessing the recoverability of the receivables, taking into account the historical cash collection patterns, our knowledge of the business environment and industry benchmarks, especially for those aged and overdue receivables. We checked the post year-end payments up to the date of completing our audit procedures. We further focused on the Group’s disclosures in this area, such as the degree of estimation involved in arriving at the provision and the aged analysis of the receivables.
The Group’s disclosures about the impairment of receivables are included in Note 3.3 - Summary of significant accounting policies, Note 19 – Trade and bills receivables, as well as in Note 20 – Prepayments, deposits and other receivables to the consolidated financial statements.
other information included in the annual report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

responsibilities of the directors for the consolidated financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the IFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors of the Company either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors of the Company are assisted by the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Our report is solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
ANNUAL REPORT 2016 51
==> picture [45 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
Independent audItor‘s report
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Siu Fung Terence Ho.

2 Basis oF PRePaRatioN
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) (which include all IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2016. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
-
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting periods as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities.

Further information about those IFRSs that are expected to be applicable to the Group is as follows:
The IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 in June 2016 that address three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding a certain amount in order to meet the employee’s tax obligation associated with the share-based payment; and accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a sharebased payment transaction changes its classification from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments clarify that the approach used to account for vesting conditions when measuring equity-settled share-based payments also applies to cash-settled share-based payments.

As at 31 December 2016
3.2 issUeD BUt Not Yet eFFectiVe iFRss (Continued)
The amendments introduce an exception so that a share-based payment transaction with net share settlement features for withholding a certain amount in order to meet the employee’s tax obligation is classified in its entirety as an equitysettled share-based payment transaction when certain conditions are met. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified, with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as an equity-settled transaction from the date of the modification. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2018. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, bringing together all phases of the financial instruments project to replace IAS 39 and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The Group expects to adopt IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018. During 2015, the Group performed a high-level assessment of the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9. This preliminary assessment is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further detailed analyses or additional reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Group in the future. The expected impacts arising from the adoption of IFRS 9 are summarized as follows:
(a) classification and measurement
The Group does not expect that the adoption of IFRS 9 will have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets. It expects to continue measuring at fair value all financial assets currently held at fair value. Equity investments currently held as available for sale will be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as the investments are intended to be held for the foreseeable future and the Group expects to apply the option to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income for the equity investments cannot be recycled to profit or loss when the investments are derecognised.
(b) impairment
IFRS 9 requires an impairment on debt instruments recorded at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are not accounted for at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9, to be recorded based on an expected credit loss model either on a twelve-month basis or a lifetime basis. The Group expects to apply the simplified approach and record lifetime expected losses that are estimated based on the present value of all cash shortfalls over the remaining life of all of its trade and other receivables. The Group will perform a more detailed analysis which considers all reasonable and supportable information, including forward-looking elements, for estimation of expected credit losses on its trade and other receivables upon the adoption of IFRS 9.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and in IAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require a full recognition of a gain or loss when the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture constitutes a business. For a transaction involving assets that do not constitute a business, a gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The previous mandatory effective date of amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 was removed by the IASB in January 2016 and a new mandatory effective date will be determined after the completion of a broader review of accounting for associates and joint ventures. However, the amendments are available for application now.

(b) impairment (Continued)
IFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach for measuring and recognising revenue. The standard also introduces extensive qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgements and estimates. The standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRSs. In April 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 15 to address the implementation issues on identifying performance obligations, application guidance on principal versus agent and licences of intellectual property, and transition. The amendments are also intended to help ensure a more consistent application when entities adopt IFRS 15 and decrease the cost and complexity of applying the standard. The Group expects to adopt IFRS 15 on 1 January 2018. During the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group performed a preliminary assessment on the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15.
The Group’s principal activities consist of the manufacture and sale of electronic products, the manufacture and sale of machinery, property investment and the provision of property management services. The expected impacts arising from the adoption of IFRS 15 on the Group are summarised as follows:
(a) Variable consideration on the sale of electronic products
The Group provides a right of return, trade discounts or volume rebates for some of the sales contracts of electronic products with customers. Currently, the Group recognises revenue from the sale of goods measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. If revenue cannot be reliably measured, revenue recognition is deferred until the uncertainty is resolved. Under IFRS 15, a transaction price is considered variable if a customer is provided with a right of return, trade discounts or volume rebates. The Group is required to estimate the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in the sales of its electronic products and the estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Group expects that the constraint on recognition of variable consideration may result in more revenue being deferred.
(b) sale of machinery with installation services
The Group provides installation services for the sale of machinery. Currently, when installation services are bundled together with the sale of machinery, revenue from the sale of machinery is recognised after the installation services are completed. Upon the adoption of IFRS 15, revenue from the sale of machinery will be recognised at a point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. The Group has preliminarily assessed that the installation services bundled together with the sale of machinery are distinct and are considered as separate performance obligations under IFRS 15. The Group further assessed that the services are satisfied over time given that the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group. Revenue allocated to the installation services will be recognised over the period that the services are provided upon the adoption of IFRS 15.

IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases , IFRIC-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease , SIC-Int 15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-Int 17 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease . The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses unless the right-of-use asset meets the definition of investment property in IAS 40. The lease liability is subsequently increased to reflect the interest on the lease liability and reduced for the lease payments. Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. Lessees will also be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events, such as change in the lease term and change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments. Lessees will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from the accounting under IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between operating leases and finance leases. The Group expects to adopt IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 and is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 16 upon adoption.
Amendments to IAS 7 require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The amendments will result in additional disclosure to be provided in the financial statements. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2017.
Amendments to IAS 12 were issued with the purpose of addressing the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses related to debt instruments measured at fair value, although they also have a broader application for other situations. The amendments clarify that an entity, when assessing whether taxable profits will be available against which it can utilise a deductible temporary difference, needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2017.

Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

3.3 sUmmaRY oF siGNiFicaNt accoUNtiNG Policies (Continued)
Business combinations and goodwill (Continued)
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts of the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cashgenerating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

3.3 sUmmaRY oF siGNiFicaNt accoUNtiNG Policies (Continued)
Fair value measurement (Continued)
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
-
Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly
-
Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
impairment of non-financial assets
Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, construction and service contract assets, and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that is previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. When an item of property, plant and equipment is classified as held for sale or when it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale, it is not depreciated and is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (Continued)
Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:
categories
| Buildings | 2.38% to 4.75% |
|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | 4.75% to 11.88% |
| Office equipment and others | 9.50% to 31.67% |
| Motor vehicles | 9.50% to 32.33% |
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.
Construction in progress represents a building under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.
intangible assets (other than goodwill)
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.
Software
Purchased software is stated at cost less any impairment losses and is amortised on the straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group under operating leases are included in noncurrent assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.
investments and other financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in other expenses for receivables.
Available-for-sale financial investments
Available-for-sale financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in listed and unlisted equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in market conditions.

investments and other financial assets (Continued)
Available-for-sale financial investments (Continued)
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss in other income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the availablefor-sale investment revaluation reserve to profit or loss in other gains or losses. Interest and dividends earned whilst holding the available-for-sale financial investments are reported as interest income and dividend income, respectively and are recognised in profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition” below.
When the fair value of unlisted equity investments cannot be reliably measured because (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant for that investment or (b) the probabilities of the various estimates within the range cannot be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value, such investments are stated at cost less any impairment losses.
The Group evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term are still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets if management has the ability and intention to hold the assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
For a financial asset reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest rate. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
-
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Derecognition of financial assets (Continued)
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in profit or loss.

impairment of financial assets (Continued)
Assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment losses on these assets are not reversed.
Available-for-sale financial investments
For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.
If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss.
In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost. “Significant” is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration or extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.
In the case of debt instruments classified as available for sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. Impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the subsequent increase in fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and borrowings.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and bills payables, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract is recognised initially as a liability at its fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contract at the higher of: (i) the amount of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.
cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in profit or loss.
income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

income tax (Continued)
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
-
when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
-
(a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
(b) from construction contracts, on the percentage of completion basis, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Construction contracts” below;
-
(c) from the rendering of services, on the percentage of completion basis, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Contracts for services” below;
-
(d) rental income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms;
-
(e) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset; and
-
(f) dividend income, when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.
contracts for services
Contract revenue on the rendering of services comprises the agreed contract amount. Costs of rendering services comprise labour, the cost of subcontracting and other costs of personnel directly engaged in providing the services and attributable overheads.
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised based on the percentage of completion of the transaction, provided that the revenue, the costs incurred and the estimated costs to completion can be measured reliably. The percentage of completion is established by reference to the costs incurred to date as compared to the total costs to be incurred under the transaction. Where the outcome of a contract cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Provision is made for foreseeable losses as soon as they are anticipated by management.
Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is treated as an amount due from contract customers. Where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is treated as an amount due to contract customers.
construction contracts
Contract revenue comprises the agreed contract amount and appropriate amounts from variation orders, claims and incentive payments. Contract costs incurred comprise direct materials, the costs of subcontracting, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed construction overheads.

construction contracts (Continued)
Revenue from fixed price construction contracts is recognised using the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion of a contract is established by reference to the construction works certified by construction surveyors.
Provision is made for foreseeable losses as soon as they are anticipated by management. Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is treated as an amount due from contract customers. Where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is treated as an amount due to contract customers.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Dividends
Final dividends are recognised as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general meeting.
Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company’s memorandum and articles of association grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.
employee benefits
Social pension plans
The Group has the social pension plans for its employees arranged by local government labour and security authorities. The Group makes contributions on a monthly basis to the social pension plans. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the social pension plans. Under the plans, the Group has no further obligation beyond the contributions made.
Housing fund and other social insurances
The Group has participated in defined social security contribution schemes for its employees pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC. These include housing fund, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, injury insurance and maternity insurance. The Group makes monthly contributions to the housing fund and other social insurances. The contributions are charged to profit or loss on an accrual basis. The Group has no further obligations beyond the contributions made.
Apart from those described above, the Group does not have any other legal or constructive obligations over employee benefits.

Production safety expenses
Production safety expenses accrued based on the Production Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和 國安全生產法) shall be provided in retained profits for the current period, and recorded as a fund in the special reserve. When the expenditures are utilised as expenses, they should be recognised in profit or loss and offset against the special reserve; when the expenditures incurred relate to fixed assets, they shall be recognised in the cost of fixed assets, which will be recognised when it is ready for use. The same amount as the expenditure will be offset against the special reserve and recorded as accumulated depreciation equivalent at the same time.
4. siGNiFicaNt accoUNtiNG JUDGemeNts aND estimates
The preparation of the financial statements require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.
estimation uncertainty
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 year, are described below.
Useful lives and residual values of items of property, plant and equipment
In determining the useful lives and residual values of items of property, plant and equipment, the Group periodically reviews the changes in market conditions, expected physical wear and tear, and the maintenance of the asset. The estimation of the useful life of the asset is based on historical experience of the Group with similar assets that are used in a similar way. Depreciation amount will be adjusted if the estimated useful lives and/or the residual values of items of property, plant and equipment are different from previous estimation. Useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period based on changes in circumstances.
Percentage of completion of construction and service works
Revenue recognition on a project is dependent on management’s estimation of the total outcome of the construction contracts, with reference to the construction works certified by construction surveyors. The Group reviews and revises the estimates of contract revenue, contract costs and variation orders, prepared for each construction contract as the contract progresses. Budgeted construction costs are prepared by management on the basis of quotations from time to time provided by the major contractors, suppliers or vendors involved and the experience of the management. In order to keep the budget accurate and up-to-date, management conducts periodic reviews of the management budgets by comparing the budgeted amounts to the actual amounts incurred.
Estimation of total budgeted costs and cost to completion for construction contracting and contracts for services
Total budgeted costs for construction contracting and contract for services comprise (i) direct material costs and direct labour, (ii) costs of subcontracting, and (iii) an appropriation of variable and fixed construction and services overheads. In estimating the total budgeted costs for construction contracting and contract for service, management refers to information such as (i) current offers from subcontractors and suppliers, (ii) recent offers agreed with subcontractors and suppliers, and (iii) professional estimation on material costs, labour costs and other costs.

estimation uncertainty (Continued)
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets relating to certain deductible temporary differences are recognised as management considers it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised. The realisation of the deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future taxable profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. In cases where the actual future taxable profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which will be recognised in profit or loss in the period in which such a reversal takes place.
Impairment of trade receivables
The Group maintains an allowance for estimated loss arising from the inability of its customers to make the required payments. The Group makes its estimates based on the ageing of its trade receivable balances, customers’ creditworthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of its customers deteriorates such that the actual impairment loss might be higher than expected, the Group would be required to revise the basis for making the allowance and its future results would be affected.
5. oPeRatiNG seGmeNt iNFoRmatioN
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their services and has two reportable operating segments as follows:
-
(a) Construction contracting – this segment engages in the provision of services relating to construction contracting in architecture;
-
(b) Others – provision of services on designing, surveying and mapping, monitoring and consulting services in the engineering of municipal management and construction, installation of lifting equipment, sale of construction materials and civil defence products and provision of services relating to construction contracting in architecture.
Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit or loss, which is a measure of adjusted profit or loss before tax. The adjusted profit or loss before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s profit before tax.

The calculation of the basic earnings per share amount is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year ended 31 December 2016.
No adjustment has been made to the basic earnings per share amounts presented for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2015 in respect of a dilution as the Group had no potentially dilutive ordinary shares in issue during the years ended 31 December2016 and 2015.

The unlisted equity investment represents the investment in an entity established in the PRC. The investment is measured at cost less impairment at each reporting date because it does not have quoted market price in an active market and the range of reasonable fair value estimates is so significant that the directors are of the opinion that its fair value cannot be measured reliably.

Trade receivables represented receivables for contract works. The payment terms of contract work receivables are stipulated in relevant contracts. The Group’s trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit, except for new customers, where payment in advance is normally required. The credit period offered by the Group is one to three months. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade and bills receivables are non-interestbearing.

An aged analysis of the trade receivables, that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired, is as follows:
| 2016 2015 RMB’000 RMB’000 |
|
|---|---|
| Neither past due nor impaired Past due within 1 year but not impaired |
265,433 227,438 310,444 86,000 |
| 575,877 313,438 |
Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a large number of diversified customers for whom that was no recent history of default.
transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety
The Group endorsed and discounted certain bills receivable accepted by banks in Mainland China (the “Endorsed Bills”) with carrying amounts of approximately RMB27,852,000 and approximately RMB50,576,000 as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 respectively, to certain of its suppliers in order to settle the trade payables due to such suppliers (the “Endorsement”). In the opinion of the Directors, the Group has retained the substantial risks and rewards, which include default risks relating to such Endorsed Bills, and accordingly, it continued to recognise the full carrying amounts of the Endorsed Bills and the associated trade payables settled. Subsequent to the Endorsement, the Group did not retain any rights on the use of the Endorsed Bills, including the sale, transfer or pledge of the Endorsed Bills to any other third parties. The aggregate carrying amounts of the trade payables settled by the Endorsed Bills during the period to which the suppliers have recourse were approximately RMB27,852,000 and approximately RMB50,576,000 as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 respectively.
transferred financial assets that are derecognised in their entirety
The Group endorsed and discounted certain bills receivable accepted by banks in the PRC (the “Derecognised Bills”) to certain of its suppliers in order to settle the trade payables due to such suppliers with carrying amounts in aggregate of approximately RMB121,066,000 and approximately RMB73,663,000 as at 31 December 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Derecognised Bills have a maturity from one to six months at the end of the reporting period. In accordance with the Law of Negotiable Instruments in the PRC, the holders of the Derecognised Bills have a right of recourse against the Group if the PRC banks default (the “Continuing Involvement”). In the opinion of the Directors, the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards relating to the derecognised bills. Accordingly, it has derecognised the full carrying amounts of the Derecognised Bills and the associated trade payables. The maximum exposure to loss from the Group’s Continuing Involvement in the Derecognised Bills and the undiscounted cash flows to repurchase these Derecognised Bills is equal to their carrying amounts. In the opinion of the Directors, the fair values of the Group’s Continuing Involvement in the Derecognised Bills are not significant.
During the reporting period, the Group has not recognised any gain or loss on the date of transfer of the Derecognised Bills. No gains or losses were recognised from the Continuing Involvement, both during the year or cumulatively.

The RMB is not freely convertible into other currencies. However, under Mainland China’s prevailing rules and regulations over foreign exchange, the Group is permitted to exchange RMB for other currencies through banks authorised to conduct foreign exchange business.
Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short term time deposits are made for varying periods of between one day and three months depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short term time deposit rates. The bank balances and pledged deposits are deposited with creditworthy banks with no recent history of default.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and bank balances, pledged deposits, the current portion of trade and bills receivables, trade payables, interest-bearing loans and other borrowings, the current portion of financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables and the current portion of financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The Group’s corporate finance team headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The corporate finance team reports directly to the chief accountant. At each reporting date, the finance team analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief accountant. The valuation process and results are discussed with the senior management twice a year for annual financial reporting.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values.
The fair values of the non-current portion of trade and bills receivables, the non-current portion of financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables and the non-current portion of financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and bank balances and pledged deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to support the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and bills receivables and trade payables which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Generally, the senior management of the Company meets regularly to analyse and formulate measures to manage the Group’s exposure to these risks. In addition, the board of directors of the Company holds meetings regularly to analyse and approve the proposals made by the senior management of the Company. Generally, the Group introduces conservative strategies on its risk management. As the Group’s exposure to these risks is kept to minimum, the Group has not used any derivatives and other instruments for hedging purposes. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its interest-bearing bank and other borrowings. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings).

credit risk
The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, pledged deposits, trade and bills receivables, and financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. Substantially all of the Group’s cash and bank balances and pledged deposits are held in major financial institutions located in Mainland China, which management believes are of high credit quality. The Group has policies to control the size of the deposits to be placed with various reputable financial institutions according to their market reputation, operating scale and financial background with a view to limiting the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution.
The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy customers with no requirement for collateral. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and bills receivables are disclosed in note 19 to the financial statements.

liquidity risk
The liquidity of the Group is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate cash inflows from operations to meet its debt obligations as they fall due, and its ability to obtain external financing to meet its committed future capital expenditure.
The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period, based on the contractual undiscounted payments, is as follows:

capital management
The Group’s primary objective for managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, by pricing services commensurately with the level of risk.

capital management (Continued)
The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or sell to reduce debts. No change was made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the reporting period.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity plus net debt. Net debt includes interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, less cash and bank balances and pledged deposits. Total equity includes the equity attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests stated in the consolidated statements of financial position.
The Group’s strategy is to maintain the gearing ratio at a healthy capital level in order to support its business. The principal strategies adopted by the Group include, but are not limited to, reviewing future cash flow requirements and the ability to meet debt repayment schedules when they fall due, maintaining a reasonable level of available banking facilities and adjusting investment plans and financing plans, if necessary, to ensure that the Group has a reasonable level of capital to support its businesses. The gearing ratios as at the end of the reporting periods are as follows:
