Kong Sun Holdings Limited
Annual Report 2011
Chairman’s Statement
On behalf of the board of directors (the “Board”), I am pleased to present the annual results of Kong Sun Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2011.
We realize that innovation capacity is the key to upgrade corporate competitiveness in the life-like plants business. To this end and in furtherance of the Group’s business objective in this sector, the Group successfully completed the acquisition of Lisun Plastic Factory Limited and its subsidiary, an artificial flowers manufacturer, in May 2011. The acquisition not only provided the Group with profit contribution but also an opportunity for the Group to diversify the Group’s products, expand the customer base of the Group, and achieve economies of scale through mass production in the long run.
Thereafter, the Group has undertaken researches, identifying and evaluating potential diversified investment projects. No agreement was reached as at the date of this report. The Group has exercised additional cautions in the course of identifying suitable investment opportunities under the fluctuated global financial market.
Loss attributable to shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2011 has been widened from approximately HK$23,904,000 to approximately HK$43,416,000. Loss per share increased to HK6.04 cents as compared to HK4.63 cents in the previous year. Further reduction in deficit and possible return to profitability will be our next target for the years to come.
The major investment of the Group remains in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Group will continue to focus on its existing businesses and looking forward for strategic investment opportunities with an aim to further strengthen the asset base and/or to generate stable income to the Group.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to all our business partners, shareholders, directors and staff for their support and contribution to the Group during the past year. With their continued trust and support, we are confident that the Group will overcome any difficulties that may come ahead and emerge all the strongest.

Kong Sun Holdings Limited Annual Report 2011
Management Discussion and Analysis
Review of Operations
The Company’s principal activity continued to be investment holding whilst its subsidiaries are mainly engaged in properties investment and development, manufacturing and sale of life-like plants and securities investment.
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the turnover of the Group amounted to approximately HK$72,844,000. Loss attributable to shareholders has increased to approximately HK$43,416,000 from approximately HK$23,904,000 recorded in last year. The increase of loss for the year was mainly contributed by the overall decrease in gross profit margin of the Group, impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets, fair value changes of convertible bonds and gain on fair value changes of investment properties.
Properties Investment and Development
The Group’s properties investment and development business had contributed approximately HK$2,258,000 to the total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011. The turnover remained stable during the year. Given the result of low interest rate environment and land auctions with historical high prices, it gave a positive effect on both property prices and transaction volume. The Group’s investment properties were valued approximately HK$77,250,000 as at 31 December 2011, which represented an increment of approximately HK$20,090,000 as compared to last year. It is expected that the revenue from the properties investment business would have a steady growth in the coming future.
Life-like Plants Business
The life-like plants business had contributed approximately HK$69,171,000 to the total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011. The newly acquired business which is engaged in manufacturing and sale of artificial flowers had contributed approximately HK$8,747,000 to the Group’s total revenue since the completion of the acquisition in May 2011. However, due to the adverse business environment caused by the debt crisis in Europe and the United States in the second half of 2011, less sale orders were received. In addition, the continuously rise of production costs in the PRC, including but not limited to the labour costs, made the business environment became more challenging. Despite the above factors, the Group will focus on the enhancement in production innovation and closely monitor the costs in order to maintain the competitiveness in the industry.
Securities Investment
As at 31 December 2011, the Group managed a portfolio of investments in capital market with fair value of approximately HK$7,906,000. The Group will be watchful on market developments and will continue to be prudent in managing its investment portfolio with a continuing focus on improving overall asset quality.
Prospects
Going to the new financial year, anticipated continuous inflation in the PRC caused by the strong demand of Renminbi (“RMB”), the labour costs and the raw material prices are expected to be in up trend. In order to maintain the competitiveness in life-like plants business, the Group will keep focus on production efficiency improvements and innovative product design. The Group is also actively looking for new investments and business opportunities to deliver the greatest return to shareholders.
Capital Structure
During the year ended 31 December 2011, the Group had no change in capital structure.

Directors’ responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and 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.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 141 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2011
1. General Information
The Company is a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).
The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information section of the annual report.
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding and the principal activities of its subsidiaries (together with the Company referred to as the “Group”) are set out in Note 17.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.
2. Application of New And Revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”)
In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). In addition, the Group has early adopted the amendments to Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 12 “Deferred Tax — Recovery of Underlying Assets” in respect of the recognition of deferred tax on investment properties carried at fair value under HKAS 40 “Investment Property”.
HKFRS 1 Amendment Limited Exemption from Comparative HKFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters Amendments to HKFRSs Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010 HKAS 24 (as revised in 2009) Related Party Disclosures Amendments to HKAS 32 Classification of Right Issues Amendments to HK(IFRIC)-Int 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement HK (IFRIC)-Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
Except as described below, the adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs in the current year had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2011
2. Application of New And Revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) (continued)
Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax — Recovery of Underlying Assets
Amendments to HKAS 12 have been applied in advance retrospectively of their effective date (annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2012). The amendments to HKAS 12 provide an exception to the general principles in HKAS 12 that the measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities should reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of an asset. Specifically, under the amendments, investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment Property” are presumed to be recovered through sale for the purpose of measuring deferred taxes, unless the presumption is rebutted in certain circumstance.
As a result, the Group’s investment properties that are measured using the fair value model have been presumed to be recovered through sale for the purpose of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets in respect of such properties. This resulted in deferred tax liabilities being decreased by approximately HK$4,903,000 and HK$5,837,000 as at 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010 respectively, with the corresponding adjustment being recognised in retained earnings/accumulated losses.
In the current year, no deferred tax has been provided for in respect of changes in fair value of such investment properties, whereas previously deferred tax liabilities were provided for in relation to the changes in fair value of such investment properties. The application of the amendments has resulted in loss for the year being decreased by approximately HK$3,217,000 (2010: HK$934,000).
The adoption of amendments to HKAS 12 had no impact on the Company’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures as the Company do not have any investment property.

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures — Transfers of Financial Assets
The amendments to HKFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. The amendments also require disclosures where transfers of financial assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the amendments to HKFRS 7 will affect the Group’s disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets in the future.

Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offsetting requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realisation and settlement”.
The amendments to HKFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.
The amended offsetting disclosures are required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures should also be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods. However, the amendments to HKAS 32 are not effective until annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application required.
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.
Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described as follows:
-
HKFRS 9 requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.
-
The most significant effect of HKFRS 9 regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the presentation of changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated as at fair value through profit or loss) (“FVTPL”) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the changes in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at FVTPL was presented in profit or loss.

New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures
In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011).
Key requirements of these five standards are described below.
HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and HK (SIC)-Int 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities . HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.
HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and HK (SIC)-Int 13 Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers . HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. Under HKFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.
In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting.
HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.
These five standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five standards are applied early at the same time.
The directors of the Company anticipate that these five standards will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013. The application of these five standards may have significant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. However, the directors of the Company have not yet performed a detailed analysis of the impact of the application of these standards and hence have not yet quantified the extent of the impact.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure s will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.
HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.
The directors of the Company anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the new standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.
The amendments to HKAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it (i) derecognises the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, (ii) derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost (including any components of other comprehensive income attributable to them), and (iii) recognises the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest, with any resulting difference being recognised as a gain or loss in profit or loss attributable to the Group. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable HKFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:
-
deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes and HKAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
-
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangement of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
-
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with HKAS 39, or HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets , as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments in subsidiaries
In the Company’s statement of financial position, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment loss. The results of the subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (or groups of cashgenerating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is test for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which item is derecognised.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment including leasehold land (classified as finance leases) and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Assets held under finance lease are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Prepaid lease payments
Prepaid lease payments represent lease prepayments paid or payable for the right to use the land on which various plants and buildings are situated for a definite period, are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of prepaid lease payments is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected period of the rights.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Leasing (continued)
The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance lease are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
Leasehold land and building
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Group assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Group, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease. Specifically, the minimum lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.
To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as an operating lease is presented as “prepaid lease payments” in the consolidated statement of financial position and is amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis except for those that are classified and accounted for as investment properties under the fair value model. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied.
-
the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risk and reward of ownership of the goods;
-
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow the Group; and
-
the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment have been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. HK$) using exchange rate prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of the exchange reserve.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign operation and retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange difference arising are recognised in equity under the heading of exchange reserve.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment come earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit of loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and if further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For the purpose of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment Properties”, such properties’ value are presumed to be recovered through sales. Such a presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model of the Group who business objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. If the presumption is rebutted, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for such investment properties are measured in accordance with the above general principles (i.e. based on the expected manner as to how the properties will be recovered).
Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial amounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sales.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Provisions
Provision are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
Cash and cash equivalents
Bank balances and cash in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits as defined above.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified into financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL, of which interest income is included in net gains or losses.

Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held-for-trading.
A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; or
-
it is a part of a identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value arising from remeasurement recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss excludes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets and is included in the “other revenue” line item in the consolidated income statement. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 6.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade receivables, other receivables, amounts due from subsidiaries, pledged bank deposits, time deposits with maturities over three months and bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve, until when the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been affected.
For an available-for-sale equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
-
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, other receivables and amounts due from subsidiaries, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, other receivables and amounts due from subsidiaries, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable, other receivables and amounts due from subsidiaries is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.
When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period in which the impairment takes place.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments will not be reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to impairment loss is recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis other than those financial liability classified as at FVTPL of which the interest expenses is included in net gain or losses.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held-for-trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value arising on remeasurement recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss excludes any interest paid on the financial liabilities.

Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities including trade and other payables, bank borrowings and obligations under finance leases are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Convertible bonds
Convertible bonds issued by the Company (including related embedded derivatives) are designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Warrants
Warrants issued by the Company that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments are classified as an equity instrument.
For warrants issued to subscribers of the Company’s shares, the fair value of warrants on the date of issue is recognised in equity (warrant reserve). The warrant reserve will be transferred to share capital and share premium upon exercise of the warrants. Where the warrants remain unexercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in warrant reserve will be transferred to the retained earnings/accumulated losses.
Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
A financial guarantee contract issued by the Group and not designated as at FVTPL is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contract at the higher of: (i) the amount of obligation under the contract, as determined in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the revenue recognition policy.

Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial assets only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, the financial asset and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligations specified in the relevant contract are discharged, cancelled or they expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Share-based payment transactions
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions
Share options granted to employees
The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is recognised as an expense in full at the grant date when the share options granted vest immediately, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve).
When share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to retained earnings/accumulate losses.
Share options granted to consultants
Share options issued in exchange for services are measured at the fair values of the services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the services received are measured by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The fair values of the services received are recognised as expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve), when the counterparties render services, unless the services qualify for recognition as assets.

Impairment losses on tangible assets other than goodwill (see the accounting policy in respect of goodwill above)
At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or a cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase under that standard.

4. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the directors of the Company are required to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical accounting judgements in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Critical judgements of litigation
The Group is involved in the lawsuits and claims for both years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010. The directors of the Company believe that the Group has substantial legal and factual bases for their position and are of the opinion that losses arising from these lawsuits, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the results of the operations or the financial position of the Group. Accordingly, no provision for such liabilities has been made in the consolidated financial statements. Details of litigation are disclosed in Note 40.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amount of goodwill is approximately HK$8,582,000 (2010: Nil). No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 31 December 2011. Details of the recoverable amount calculation are disclosed in Note 23.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Estimated impairment losses in respect of trade receivables
The policy for making impairment losses on trade receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment loss may be required. No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 31 December 2011. Details of trade receivables are disclosed in Note 25.
Fair value of convertible bonds
The fair values of the convertible bonds were calculated using the Binomial Model. The models involve assumptions on the Company’s credit spread, discount rate, expected credit rating and future cash flows. Should these assumptions change, there would be material changes to the valuation. On 16 December 2011, convertible bonds had been fully redeemed by the Company and a loss on changes in fair value of approximately HK$32,706,000 (2010: gain of approximately HK$4,306,000) has been recognised in the consolidated income statement. Details of convertible bonds are disclosed in Note 33.
Fair value of financial guarantee contract
The fair value of financial guarantees issued is determined by reference to fees charged in an arm’s length transaction for similar services, when such information is obtainable, or is otherwise estimated by reference to interest rate differentials, by comparing the actual rates charged by lenders when the guarantee is made available with the estimated rates that lenders would have charged, had the guarantees not been available, where reliable estimates of such information can be made. Fair value of financial guarantee at inception date amounted to approximately HK$470,000 has been recognised in the Company’s statement of financial position. Details of financial guarantee contract are disclosed in Note 46.
Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group’s carrying values of property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2011 was approximately HK$54,768,000 (2010: HK$35,756,000). The Group depreciates the property, plant and equipment over the shorter of the unexpired term of leases and their estimated useful lives, and after taking into account of their estimated residual values, using the straight-line method, at the rates ranging from 2% to 20% per annum. The estimated useful life reflects the directors of the Company estimate of the periods that the Group intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of the Group’s property, plant and equipment.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and prepaid lease payments
The impairment loss for property, plant and equipment and prepaid lease payments are recognised for the amounts by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.
The Group evaluates whether property, plant and equipment and prepaid lease payments have suffered any impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is determined based on value-inuse calculations prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates such as the future revenue and discount rates, taking into account the existing business plan going forward, the current sales orders on hand and other strategic new business development. No impairment loss in respect of property, plant and equipment and prepaid lease payments were recognised for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010.
Allowances for inventories
The management of the Group reviews an ageing analysis at the end of each reporting period, and makes allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sales. The management estimates the net realisable value for such items based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. The Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at the end of each reporting period and makes allowance for obsolete items. No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 31 December 2011. Details of inventories are disclosed in Note 24.
5. Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt, which includes bank borrowings, obligations under finance leases, convertible bonds, net of pledged bank deposits, time deposits with maturities over three months, bank balances and cash and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital, share premium and reserves.
The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review, the directors of the Company consider the cost of capital and risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors of the Company, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

Financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL
In the opinion of the directors, the change in the fair value of the financial liabilities is unrepresentative of the change in its credit risk and the exposure is considered as insignificant.
(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include available-for-sale financial assets, trade receivables, other receivables, held-for-trading investments, pledged bank deposits, time deposits with maturities over three months, bank balances and cash, trade and other payables, bank borrowings, obligations under finance leases, financial guarantee contract and convertible bonds. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk
(i) Currency risk
Several subsidiaries of the Company have foreign currency sales and purchases, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. Approximately 92% (2010: 93%) of the Group’s sales and 56% (2010: 78%) of its costs are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group entity making the sale and purchase.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:
| Assets | Assets | Liabilities | Liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 2010 | 2011 | 2010 | ||
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | HK$’000 | HK$’000 | ||
| United States Dollars (“US$”) | 13,175 | 10,004 | 1,083 | 648 | |
| Renminbi (“RMB”) | 44,005 | 120,747 | 9,722 | 6,470 |
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is mainly exposed to the US$ and RMB.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% (2010: 5%) increase and decrease in HK$ against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% (2010: 5%) is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% (2010: 5%) change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in loss where HK$ strengthen 5% (2010: 5%) against the relevant currency. For a 5% (2010: 5%) weakening of HK$ against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the loss and the balances below would be negative.

Market risk (continued)
(ii) Interest rate risk
As at 31 December 2011 and 2010, the Group and the Company was exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed rate bank borrowings of approximately HK$924,000 (2010: Nil), obligations under finance lease of approximately HK$930,000 (2010: Nil) and convertible bonds of nil (2010: approximately HK$7,294,000) (see Notes 31, 32 and 33 respectively for details).
The Group was also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable rate bank borrowings of approximately HK$4,597,000 (2010: Nil) (see Note 31 for details) for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal as the bank borrowings with variable rate have a short maturity period, accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is presented.
The Group currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy.
(iii) Other price risks
The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risk and return profiles. The Group’s other price risk is mainly concentrated on equity instruments listed in Hong Kong.
Equity price sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If the prices of the respective equity instruments had been 10% (2010: 10%) higher/lower:
-
loss for the year ended 31 December 2011 would decrease/increase by approximately HK$132,000 (2010: decrease/increase by approximately HK$482,000) for the Group as a result of the changes in fair value of held-for-trading investments; and
-
other comprehensive income would increase/decrease by approximately HK$659,000 (2010: increase/decrease by approximately HK$2,813,000) for the Group as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets.

Credit risk
As at 31 December 2011, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group or the Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position and the Company’s statement of financial position.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual receivable balance at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s and the Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The Group’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is mainly in the United States of America (“USA”), which accounted for approximately 99% (2010: 96%) of the total trade receivables as at 31 December 2011.
The Group has concentration of credit risk as approximately 92% (2010: 96%) and approximately 100% (2010: 96%) of total trade receivables was due from the Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively within the manufacturing and sale of life-like plants segment as at 31 December 2011.

Liquidity risk
In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuation in cash flows.
Maturity analysis
The following table details the Group’s and the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.
The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

Maturity analysis (continued)
Note:
Bank borrowings with a repayment on demand clause are included in the “on demand/within one year” time band in the above maturity analysis. As at 31 December 2011, the aggregate undiscounted principal amounts of these bank loans with a fixed interest rate and variable interest rate amounted to approximately HK$442,000 and HK$4,597,000 respectively. Taking into account the Group’s financial position, the directors do not believe that it is probable that the banks will exercise their discretionary rights to demand immediate repayment. The directors of the Company believe that such bank borrowings will be fully repaid ten years after the end of reporting period in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loans agreements. At that time, the aggregate principal and interest cash outflows will amount to approximately HK$5,730,000.

Note:
The amounts included above for financial guarantee contracts are the maximum amounts the Company could be required to settle under the arrangement for the full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee. Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the Company considers that it is more likely than not that no amount will be payable under the arrangement. However, this estimate is subject to change depending on the probability of the counterparty claiming under the guarantee which is a function of the likelihood that the land and buildings held by the counterparty which are guaranteed suffer market value losses.

6. Financial Instruments (continued)
(c) Fair value
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices and ask prices respectively;
-
the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis; and
-
the fair value of financial guarantee contracts is determined using option pricing models where the main assumptions are the probability of default by the specified counterparty extrapolated from market-based credit information and the amount of loss, given the default.
The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of other financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturities.
Fair value measurements recognised in the statements of financial position
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

- (c) Fair value (continued)
Significant assumptions used in determining fair value of financial liabilities
Financial guarantee contract
The fair value of financial guarantees issued by the Company to its subsidiary is determined by reference to fees charged in an arm’s length transaction for similar services, when such information is obtainable, by comparing the actual rates charged by lenders when the guarantee is made available with the estimates rates that lenders would have charged, had the guarantees not been available, where reliable estimates of such information can be made.
Convertible bonds
The fair value of the convertible bonds is determined assuming whenever it is optimum to exercise both the Company’s redemption option and the convertible bonds holders’ conversion options, the Company will have the higher priority to exercise its redemption option before the convertible bonds holders exercise their conversion options. Under the above assumption, the fair values of the convertible bonds would not exceed their principal values immediately before the convertible bonds holders exercise their conversion options.
7. Turnover
An analysis of the Group’s turnover for the year is as follows:
| Sale of life-like plants | 2011 HK$’000 69,171 |
2010 HK$’000 82,006 |
|---|---|---|
| Properties rental income | 2,258 | 1,702 |

16. Loss per Share
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:
| As restated | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 2010 | ||
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | ||
| Loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company | (43,416) | (23,904) | |

| Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of | ’000 | ’000 | |
| basic loss per share | 718,962 | 516,526 |
The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding share options and conversion of Company’s outstanding warrants since their exercise would result in a decrease in loss per share from continuing operations for both years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011.
The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding convertible bonds because the exercise price of the convertible bonds was higher than the average market price for shares for the year ended 31 December 2010.

- (a) The amounts due from subsidiaries are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.
The operating performance of the subsidiaries was unsatisfactory due to intense competition. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, it is uncertain that sufficient cash flows would be generated by the subsidiaries in the foreseeable future as the subsidiaries suffered financial difficulties and sustained losses. In view of the uncertainty of the recovery of the outstanding balance in those subsidiaries which sustained losses and had poor operating performance and that the subsidiaries were not financially capable of repaying to the Company, the directors of the Company concluded that it is appropriate to make an impairment loss on the amounts due from subsidiaries. As at 31 December 2011, there was accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$19,271,000 (2010: HK$5,392,000) recognised on the amounts due from subsidiaries. Further details are set out in Note 18 (b). The directors of the Company consider that the accumulated impairment losses are sufficient.

The available-for-sale financial assets are stated at fair value. The fair value of the listed securities has been determined by reference to published price quotations in active markets. Loss on fair value changes of available-forsale financial assets of approximately HK$21,546,000 (2010: gain on approximately HK$10,188,000) has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve.
During the year, the Group has determined the value of its investment in certain listed securities to be impaired in view of the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets significantly below its original cost. As a result, impairment loss of approximately HK$11,358,000 (2010: Nil) has been recognised in profit or loss during the year.

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating unit (“CGU”) identified according to business segment of manufacturing and sale of life-like plant operation.
The Group performed its annual impairment test for goodwill allocated to the manufacturing and sale of life-like plant operation CGU by comparing its recoverable amount to its carrying amount as at the end of the reporting period. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. The value-in-use calculations covered a period of 10 years based on the operation’s estimated life. These calculations used cash flow projections based on a five-year financial budget approved by management. Cash flows beyond a five-year period approved by senior management have been extrapolated with an estimated general annual growth of not more than 5% for a fiveyear period. The discount rate used of 15.32% reflects specific risks related to the relevant segment. The management believes that any reasonably foreseeable change in any of the above key assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of the goodwill to exceed the recoverable amount. Accordingly, no impairment loss is recognised for the year.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired related to a number of customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable.
Receivables of approximately HK$9,907,000 (2010: HK$610,000) that were neither past due nor impaired relate to customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

CB bear interests at 4% per annum payable annually in arrear with the first payment to be made on the date falling 12 months from the date of issue and with the maturity date on 16 December 2011.
The principal terms of CB are as follows:
-
The holders of the CB are entitled to convert any part of the principal amount into new ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$0.10 each (subject to adjustment) at any time within three years from the date of issue of CB. The conversion price of the CB has been adjusted to HK$1.70 with effect from 27 October 2010 after the completion of the open offer of the Company (Note 36).

-
The Company has the right at any time during the conversion period to mandatorily convert the whole or part of the CB into the Company’s shares.
As CB contain various embedded derivatives, the directors of the Company determined that the convertible bonds do not contain any equity component and the entire bonds were designated as “financial liabilities at FVTPL” which requires the bonds to be carried at fair value at the end of the reporting period and the changes in fair values are recognised in the consolidated income statement. During the year ended 31 December 2011, a loss on changes in fair value of approximately HK$32,706,000 (2010: gain of HK$4,306,000) has been recognised in the consolidated income statement.

The estimated fair value of the options granted on the above-mentioned date was HK$3,000,000. The Group recognised the total expense of HK$3,000,000 for the year ended 31 December 2010 in relation to share options granted by the Company.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model had been used to estimate the fair value of the options. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors’ best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.
This fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The inputs into the model were as follows:
| 2010 | |
|---|---|
| Exercise price | HK$0.422 |
| Expected volatility | 50.55% |
| Expected life | 1.5 years |
| Risk-free rate | 0.445% |
| Expected dividend yield | 0% |
Expected volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the Company’s share price over the previous 1.5 years. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

39. Warrants
As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 13 December 2010, the Company has issued 95,860,000 warrants to the subscribers of the offer shares conferring the rights to the holders thereof to subscribe in cash for 95,860,000 ordinary shares of the Company of HK$0.20 per share at an initial exercise price of HK$0.28 per share at any time during the period from 13 December 2010 to 12 December 2012.
The warrants with subscription price of HK$0.02 per share are recognised in the warrants reserve on initial recognition with a fair value of approximately HK$1,917,000.
At 31 December 2010 and 2011, the Company had outstanding 95,860,000 warrants, the exercise in full of which would result in the issue of 95,860,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.20 each.
40. Litigation
On 3 November 2003, an action was commenced by Mr. Cheung Yik Wang (“CYW”), who claims himself as an investor of Easternet Limited which owns 46% of Xswim (Holding) Limited (“Xswim Holding”) which is a 54% owned subsidiary of the Company, against Mr. Kong Li Szu as 1st defendant, the Company’s former director, and the Company as 2nd defendant for recovering a sum of HK$11,600,000 together with interest and costs in connection with a cheque issued on 20 December 2002 by the Company to CYW which was dishonoured upon presentation for payment. It was alleged that the cheque was issued by the Company as a guarantee for payment of a cheque issued by Mr. Kong. A defence was filed by the Company on 19 January 2004. CYW also filed a reply to defence on 17 February 2004. Up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, this action is still in progress and no hearing date has been fixed.
In the opinion of the directors of the Company, in 2002, Xswim Holding, a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries (“Xswim Group”) advanced to the Company an aggregate of approximately HK$15,241,000. In 2002, the Company repaid Xswim Group HK$5,600,000 leaving a balance of approximately HK$9,641,000 outstanding (the “Outstanding Balance”) and requested CYW to advance HK$2,000,000 (the “Intended Loan”) to the Company. As a result, the Company and Mr. Kong respectively issued on 20 December 2002 a cheque with an amount of HK$11,600,000 each payable to CYW as securities for the Outstanding Balance and the Intended Loan, although CYW has never advanced the Intended Loan to the Company. The Company repaid in full the Outstanding Balance to Xswim Group in 2003. Upon the full repayment of the Outstanding Balance in 2003, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Company no longer had legal or financial obligations to pay CYW and thus refused to present the cheque previously issued to CYW in 2003. As at 31 December 2011 and 2010, with the advices by the Company’s legal adviser, the directors of the Company were of the opinion that the Group has proper and valid defences to the CYW’s action and accordingly, no provision for loss had been accounted for in these consolidated financial statements.
