The Company has early adopted “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 9 – Employee Benefits” (Revised), “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 30 - Presentation of Financial Statements” (Revised), “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 39 – Fair Value Measurement”, “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 40 – Joint Arrangements” and “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements” (Revised) issued by the Ministry of Finance in January and February 2014.
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 9 – Employee Benefits” (Revised)
Pursuant to “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 9 – Employee Benefits” (Revised), retirement benefit plan are classified as defined contribution scheme and defined benefit scheme. Defined contribution scheme refers to a retirement benefit plan in which the enterprises make fixed contributions to an independent fund and are no longer subject to further payment obligations; while the defined benefit scheme refers to a retirement benefit plan other than the defined contribution scheme. During the accounting period in which an employee provides service, the amount payable calculated under defined contribution scheme shall be recognized as a liability and recorded in profit and loss of the current period or in assets. In respect of the defined benefit scheme, the enterprise shall use the projected unit credit method and make appropriate actuarial assumptions to measure the obligations arising from the defined benefit scheme, attribute the welfare obligations calculated using the formula stipulated by the defined benefit scheme to the service period of the employee, and record the obligation in the current profit and loss, whereas changes arising from the re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit scheme shall be included in the other comprehensive income. Moreover, the standard also regulates the short-term salary and other long-term employee benefits provided by enterprises to employees. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the adoption of the standard had no material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 30 - Presentation of Financial Statements” (Revised)
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 30 - Presentation of Financial Statements” (Revised) further regulates the presentation of financial statements. In addition, the standard requires other comprehensive income classified into the following two categories in the income statement: (1) items that will not be subsequently re-classified into profit and loss; (2) items that may be subsequently re-classified into profit and loss upon satisfaction of specified conditions. The Company has applied the above amendments and presented the financial statements as required.
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 39 – Fair Value Measurement”
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 39 – Fair Value Measurement” establishes the sole guidance for the measurement of fair value and the disclosure of fair value measurement. The standard defines fair value, which refers to the price receivable upon the sale of an asset or the price payable upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the date of measurement. The standard also stipulates more extensive requirements for the disclosure of fair value measurement. Apart from this, the adoption of the standards had no material effect on the recognition and measurement of financial statement items. The adoption of the standard has resulted in more extensive disclosure of fair value information in the financial statements of the Group for

the year.
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 40 – Joint Arrangements”
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 40 – Joint Arrangements” regulates the classification and accounting treatment of a joint arrangement jointly controlled by two or more parties. Joint arrangements are classified into joint operations and joint ventures based on the structure, legal form, contractual terms agreed by the parties to the relevant arrangement and other facts and circumstances of the relevant arrangement. Joint operation refers to a joint arrangement in which the joint parties are entitled to the relevant assets of the arrangement and bear the relevant liabilities of the arrangement. Joint venture refers to a joint arrangement in which the joint parties are only entitled to the rights of net assets of the arrangement.
Joint venture and joint operation differ in both initial recognition and subsequent accounting treatment. Investment in a joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. Interest in a joint operation is accounted for by recognition based on share in the assets (including the share in any jointly owned assets), liabilities (including the share in any jointly accrued liabilities), revenues (including the share in the revenues generated from the joint operation) and expenses (including the share in any jointly accrued expenses). Each of the joint parties accounts for the assets and liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses in respect of its interests in the joint operation in accordance with the appropriate standards. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the adoption of the standard had no material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements” (Revised)
Pursuant to the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements” (Revised), the scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements shall be recognized on the basis of control. The standard has provided three essential elements of control: (a) the power over the investee; (b) share of or entitlement to the risk exposure of variable returns or the rights of reward of variable returns; and (c) the ability to affect the amount of returns by using its power. The amendment has included extensive guidance on complicated scenarios.

Subject to the fulfillment of the exercise conditions, the share options under the grant can be exercised in batches after the expiry of the 2-year period from the grant date according to the following exercise arrangement:
-
i. 33% of the share options granted to each participant shall become exercisable on the trading day immediately after the second anniversary of the grant date (2 September 2013) until the trading day falling on the fifth anniversary of the grant date (31 August 2016);
