Dear Sir/Madam,
MAJOR TRANSACTION CAPITAL INJECTION INTO SHENZHEN SENPAI NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED*
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement of the Company dated 24 November 2016 in relation to the Capital Injection. On 24 November 2016 (after trading hours), (i) the Investor (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), (ii) Shenzhen Baosheng and Shenzhen Dasheng (both being the Original Shareholders of the Target Company and currently hold 60% and 40% of the equity interests of the Target Company, respectively), and (iii) the Target Company (the ‘‘Parties’’, each a ‘‘Party’’) entered into the Capital Injection Agreement, pursuant to which the Investor has conditionally agreed to inject capital of RMB82,000,000 (approximately HKD92,660,000) into the Target Company by way of cash contribution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Upon completion of the Capital Injection, the Target Company will be held as to approximately 45%, 33% and 22% by the Investor, Shenzhen Baosheng and Shenzhen Dasheng, respectively, and the registered capital of the Target Company will be increased from RMB100,000,000 to RMB182,000,000.
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in relation to the Capital Injection under the Capital Injection Agreement exceed 25% but less than 100%, the entering into the Capital Injection Agreement therefore constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details on the Capital Injection Agreement and information on the Target Company, (ii) such other information as required by the Listing Rules, and (iii) the notice of the SGM.
THE CAPITAL INJECTION AGREEMENT
Major terms of the Capital Injection Agreement, as amended by the Supplemental Agreement dated 28 December 2016, are set out below.
Date
24 November 2016 (after trading hours)
Parties
-
(i) the Investor;
-
(ii) Shenzhen Baosheng and Shenzhen Dasheng, the Original Shareholders of the Target Company; and
-
(iii) the Target Company.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Shenzhen Baosheng, Shenzhen Dasheng and the Target Company (and their respective ultimate beneficial owner(s)) are Independent Third Parties of the Company and its connected persons.
Capital Injection
As at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement, the Target Company has a fully-paid registered capital of RMB100,000,000. Pursuant to the Capital Injection Agreement, the Investor has conditionally agreed to inject capital in the amount of RMB82,000,000 (approximately HKD92,660,000) into the Target Company by way of cash contribution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Upon completion of the Capital Injection, the registered capital of the Target Company will be increased to RMB182,000,000, and the Target Company will be held as to approximately 45%, 33% and 22% by the Investor, Shenzhen Baosheng and Shenzhen Dasheng, respectively.
The shareholding structure of the Target Company as at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement and after the Completion is set out as follows:
| Investor Shenzhen Baosheng Shenzhen Dasheng Total |
As at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement Amount of the capital contribution to the registered capital of the Target Company Equity interest in the Target Company (in RMB) (%) – – 60,000,000 60% 40,000,000 40% 100,000,000 100% |
After the Completion Amount of the capital contribution to the registered capital of the Target Company Equity interest in the Target Company (in RMB) (%) 82,000,000 ~ 45% 60,000,000 ~ 33% 40,000,000 ~ 22% 182,000,000 100% |
After the Completion Amount of the capital contribution to the registered capital of the Target Company Equity interest in the Target Company (in RMB) (%) 82,000,000 ~ 45% 60,000,000 ~ 33% 40,000,000 ~ 22% 182,000,000 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% |
The amount of the Capital Injection was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Investor and the Original Shareholders and was determined with reference to a combination of the following factors:
(i) The capital requirement for the Target Company to engage in large-scale battery production
It is currently expected that the total capital requirement for the Target Company to manufacture its battery product in large scale will be approximately RMB94,399,000. In considering the current cash position of the Group and the likelihood in obtaining further finance in the amount of approximately RMB12,399,000, either by way of borrowings from financial institution and/or other financing alternatives, the Directors consider that the amount of Capital Injection is in the best interest of the Group and Shareholders as a whole. For details of the capital requirement, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Capital requirement for the new energy business of the Target Company’’ of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (ii) The net asset of the Target Company as at 30 September 2016 and the administrative expenditures incurred in relation to the research and development works performed by the previous management of the Target Company during 2015 and 2016
The original capital injection made by the Original Shareholders was RMB100 million of which approximately RMB80 million was being reflected in the net assets figure of the Target Company as at 30 September 2016. The remaining balance in the amount of approximately RMB20 million has been incurred as administrative expenditures in connection to the works performed by the previous management of the Target Company for the research and development, which amounted to approximately RMB1.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 and RMB18.9 million for the nine months period ended 30 September 2016, respectively. Since these administrative expenditures were being classified as expenses made by the Target Company rather than capitalized as an asset item under the accounting standards in Hong Kong, the Target Company had suffered loss during 2015 and 2016. It is the view of the previous management of the Target Company and being agreed by the Board that despite the development stage and historical losses of the Target Company, these expenditures should contribute to the achievement made by the previous management team of the Target Company in obtaining the two utility patents at present and these patents can be useful to the future business operation of the Target Company.
(iii) By reference to the new registered capital of the Target Company after the Capital Injection
In considering the original capital injection made by the Original Shareholders and by reference to the new registered capital of the Target Company after the Capital Injection, which amounting to RMB182 million, the Capital Injection represents approximately 45% ownership of the Target Company.
(iv) The ability to control the majority of the board of directors of the Target Company
Even though the Investor’s minority shareholding in the Target Company, the Board is able to control the majority of the board of directors of the Target Company and direct the operating activities of the Target Company immediately upon Completion.

(iv) Business model of the Target Company upon Completion
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company has not yet commenced into business other than the research and development works. Since establishment in 2014, the previous management team of the Target Company had devoted significant effort in developing overall solution in the areas of (i) pure or range extended electric vehicle power system; and (ii) lithium battery energy storage system. With the technical know-how and experience of the management team of the Target Company, it is the goal of the Target Company to extend its development work to manufacture of lithium battery products and the related power system.
Products
Under the new energy business, the Target Company will focus in the manufacturing of two types of rechargeable lithium batteries (the ‘‘Lithium Batteries’’), with the following particulars:
| Model number | Nominal voltage | Nominal capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 18650 | 3.6V | 2,400mAh |
| 38130 | 3.2V | 10,000mAh |
These rechargeable lithium batteries, when integrate with the motor, electric control system and other ancillary components, will form an essential part of a pure or range extended electric vehicle power system. A range extended electric vehicle is a battery electric vehicle that includes an auxiliary power unit known as ‘‘range extender’’. The range extender drives an electric generator, which charges a battery that supplies the vehicle’s electric motor with electricity.
At present, the Target Company intend to construct new factories and three production lines for the manufacturing of the two types of Lithium Batteries. These production lines will be situated at the new factories, which located in 1-4/F., Building C, B&K Technology Park, No.9 Bangkai Road, High-Tech Industrial Park, Guangming New District, Shenzhen and Building 1, Tongli Industrial Park, Kuichong Street, Dapeng New District, Shenzhen. With the expected completed date before March 2017, the production capacity for model18650 and model-38130 are expected to have 24 million and 1.8 million each year respectively.
In addition, the Target Company will also plan to develop the EIC Control System, which is also applicable to the range extended electric vehicle. During the process of developing an effective electric power generation system, a manufacturer will need to consider a variety of customer needs, such as electric consumption, costs, temperature control etc. and this could be achieved by the process of (i) designing a system; and (ii) selection of suitable engine, electric control system and other ancillary components. This effective power generation system created is the ‘‘EIC System’’. Currently, it is the intention of the Board to commence the new energy business in relation to the Lithium Batteries and will consider the EIC system in a later stage.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE CAPITAL INJECTION
The Group is principally engaged in manufacturing, on an OEM basis, and trading of men’s, ladies’ and children’s knit-to-shape garments for export and money lending.
As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2016 (‘‘Annual Report’’), the environment for the garment and apparel industry remains complex and challenging. In order to diversify the business risk on the segment of manufacturing and trading of garments and to increase the Shareholders’ value, the Board poised to explore further potential investment opportunities with potential higher return which would bring long-term value to the Group.
Favourable policies
For the past few years, the PRC government had made huge effort in developing and promoting the use of new energy vehicles. These could be evidenced by the different policies implemented, which include but not limited to providing:
-
subsidy to the manufacturer of new energy vehicles and batteries;
-

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and trading of knit-to-shape garments and money lending. The Investor is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the research, development and sales of batteries for new energy vehicles or other electronic products.
Upon Completion, the Enlarged Group will be principally engaged in the following business activities:
-
Manufacturing, on an OEM basis, and trading of men’s, ladies’ and children’s knit-toshape garments for export (‘‘Garments Business’’);
-
Money lending (‘‘Money Lending Business’’); and
-
Development of new energy business (‘‘New Energy Business’’).
(i) Garments Business
The environment for the garment and apparel industry remains complex and challenging. For the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group recorded a net loss of HKD39.7 million as compared to a net loss of HKD6.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2015, mainly due to (i) a decline in turnover from HKD366.4 million to HKD308.5 million and a lower gross profit from HKD23.4 million to HKD14.5 million due to the drop of orders placed from the USA and Europe market sentiment was poor.
Furthermore, for the six months ended 30 September 2016, the Group’s net loss was HKD1.9 million, which represented a decrease of HKD5.2 million as compared to the same period of the previous year. This decrease could be attributable to (i) the decrease in the Group’s gross profit as a result of the decrease in sales turnover of garments products, and (ii) the increase in administrative expenses mainly related to the expansion of head office.
Looking into the future, the Group believes that the industries for garment and textile will continue to be very challenging in considering factors such as rising labour costs, volatile raw material prices and stricter environmental regulations in PRC. Taking into account these factors, the Board shall maintain a prudent and pragmatic approach and focus on high quality and productivity to improve the profitability of this segment.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
Corresponding Financial Information
For the purpose of this report, we have reviewed the unaudited corresponding interim financial information of the Target Company comprising the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows of the Target Company for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 together with a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes thereto (the ‘‘Corresponding Financial Information’’), for which the directors of the Target Company are responsible.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information and the accounting policies of the Company.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review of Corresponding Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 of section II below.

II – 9
APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
2 Significant accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
The Financial Information have been prepared for inclusion in the Circular of the Company in connection with the Capital Injection into the Target Company in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Main Board Listing Rules’’).
For the purpose of this report, the Financial Information of the Target Company has been prepared on a basis in accordance with the principles of the Auditing Guideline 3.340 ‘‘Prospectus and the Reporting Accountant’’ issued by the HKICPA.
A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Target Company is set out below.
(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’), unless otherwise stated. Renminbi is the Target Company’s functional currency and presentation currency.
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
II – 10
APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 20.
(c) Changes in accounting policies
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information of the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has adopted all HKFRSs which are effective to the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2016 throughout the Relevant Periods.
The Target Company has not applied any new or amended HKFRS that is not yet effective for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (see note 21).
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(f)(ii)).
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:
| Leasehold improvements | Over the remaining term of the relevant leases |
|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | 20% |
| Furniture, fixtures and | 20 to 33.3% |
| equipment | |
| Motor vehicles | 25% |
Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
II – 11
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
(e) Leased assets
An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Target Company determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.
(i) Classification of assets leased to the Target Company
Assets that are held by the Target Company under leases which transfer to the Target Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Target Company are classified as operating leases.
(ii) Operating lease charges
Where the Target Company has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
(f) Impairment of assets
(i) Impairment of receivables
Receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Target Company about one or more of the following loss events:
-
significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
II – 12
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
-
it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and
-
significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.
If any such evidence exists, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these assets), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.
If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods/years.
Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Target Company is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against other receivables directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.
II – 13
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
- (ii) Impairment of other assets
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
-
property, plant and equipment; and
-
capitalised development costs.
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
- Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal 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. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cashgenerating unit).
-
Recognition of impairment losses
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measureable) or value in use (if determinable).
II – 14
APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
-
Reversals of impairment losses
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods/years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the periods/year in which the reversals are recognised.
(g) Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 2(f)(i)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.
(h) Payables
Payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.
(j) Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period/year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
II – 15
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
The Target Company is required to participate in the defined contribution retirement schemes operated by the relevant government authorities for employees in the PRC and make contributions to the retirement schemes at certain rates of the basic salary of its employees in the PRC. Contributions to all these schemes are charged to profit or loss when incurred.
(k) Income tax
Income tax for the period/year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period/year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods/years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.
II – 16
APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Target Company controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Target Company has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:
-
in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Target Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
-
in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
the same taxable entity; or
-
different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

(l) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(m) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Company and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.
(n) Research and developments costs
Costs associated with research activities are charged to profit or loss as when incurred. Costs associated with development activities are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, or recognised as intangible assets provided that they meet the following recognition requirements:
-
demonstration of technical feasibility of the prospective product for internal use of sale;
-
there is intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell the asset;
-
the Target Company’s ability to use or sell the intangible asset is demonstrated;
II – 18
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
-
the intangible asset will generate probable economic benefits through internal use of sale;
-
sufficient technical, financial and other resources are available for completion; and
-
the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset can be reliably measured.
Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses (see note 2(f)(ii)). Amortisation of capitalised development costs is charged to profit or loss on straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in the subsequent period.
Development costs relating to the design and testing of new or improved products and reassessment of production procedures for cost efficiency purposes are recognised as expenses when incurred as the directors consider that the related economic benefits generated from these developments have very limited useful life.

16 Financial risk management and fair values
Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency risks arises in the normal course of the Target Company’s business. The Target Company’s exposure to risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Target Company to manage these risks are described below.
(a) Credit risk
The Target Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to amount due from a shareholder, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Cash and cash equivalents are normally placed at financial institutions that have sound credit ratings. The amount due from a shareholder and other receivables are considered by the directors to be fully recoverable.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statements of financial position.
(b) Liquidity risk
The Target Company’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from either shareholders or major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of the Target Company’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date the Target Company can be required to pay:

20 Accounting estimates and judgements
The methods, estimates and judgements the directors used in applying the Target Company’s accounting policies have a significant impact on the Target Company’s financial position and operating results. Some of the accounting policies require the Target Company to apply estimates and judgements, on matters that are inherently uncertain. The critical accounting judgements in applying the Target Company’s accounting policies are described below.
(a) Depreciation
The Target Company management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charge for the property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of the property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
II – 33
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
(b) Impairments
In considering the impairment loss that may be required for certain property, plant and equipment and capitalised development costs, recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate its fair value less costs of disposal because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant in judgement relating to items such as level of turnover and amount of operating costs. The Target Company uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as turnover and operating costs.
Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts are assessed and provided based on the directors’ regular review of ageing analysis and evaluation of collectability. A considerable level of judgement is exercised by the directors when assessing the credit worthiness and past collection history of each individual receivable.
An increase or decrease in the above impairment loss would affect the operating results in the Relevant Periods and in future years.
21 Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the period ended 30 September 2016
Up to the date of issue of the Financial Information, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments and new standards which are not yet effective for the period ended 30 September 2016 and which have not been adopted in the Financial Information. These include the following which may be relevant to the Target Company.
| Effective for | ||
|---|---|---|
| accounting periods | ||
| beginning on or after | ||
| HKFRS | 15, Revenue from contracts with customers | 1 January 2018 |
| HKFRS | 9, Financial instruments | 1 January 2018 |
| HKFRS | 16, Lease | 1 January 2019 |
The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new standards is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Target Company’s financial statements.

The adjustment represent the recognition of goodwill arising from the proposed Capital Injection. According to HKFRS 3, goodwill is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount of noncontrolling interests in the Target Company over the net fair value of the Target Company’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at 30 September 2016, which is calculated as follows:
| Cash consideration Less: Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired Carrying amounts of net assets of the Target Company (Note a) Capital injection received by the Target Company Total fair value of net identifiable assets of the Target Company Non-controlling interests (Note b) Fair value of identifiable net assets attributable to the approximately 45.05% equity interest acquired Goodwill (Note c) |
HKD’000 95,341 92,871 95,341 188,212 (103,423) 84,789 10,552 |
|---|---|
Note:
-
a. As at 30 September 2016, the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the Target Company as recorded in the accountant’s report of the Target Company approximate their fair values.
-
b. Non-controlling interests are measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the Target Company’s identifiable net assets and liabilities after the Capital Injection, i.e. approximately 54.95% of HKD188,212,000.
-
c. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group, fair value of the net assets of the Target Company after the Capital Injection as at 30 September 2016 were used to determine the goodwill of the proposed Capital Injection. Upon completion of the Capital Injection, the fair value of the net assets of the Target Company as at the date of completion will be used to determine the actual amount of goodwill. Such actual amount may be different from the amount presented herein and such difference may be significant.
The Directors of the Company confirm that consistent policies and assumptions have been applied for the purpose of assessing impairment of the Enlarged Group’s goodwill and the business acquired through the Target Company as a whole under Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’, and the Directors of the Company are not aware of any impairment of the Enlarged Group’s goodwill and the business acquired through the Target Company as a whole is required. The basis in assessing the impairment of the Enlarged Group’s goodwill and the business acquired through the Target Company as a whole is by reference to the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (‘‘CGU’’), which has been determined based on a value in use calculation which are based on cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by management covering a 2-year period, and a discount rate of 15%. The cash flows beyond the 2-year period are extrapolated using a steady growth rate of 10%.
- No other adjustments have been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group and the Enlarged Group entered into subsequent to 30 September 2016.

PROSPECTS
For the past few years, the PRC government had made huge effort in developing and promoting the use of new energy vehicles. These could be evidenced by the multilateral policies implemented by the PRC government, which includes macro strategies such as new energy vehicles development and pollution control, infrastructural development to introduce more charging stations and providing tax and subsidy incentives for the developers and consumers. The Directors believe that it is the aim of the PRC government to reduce the number of inefficient energies vehicles and to promote new energy-saving vehicles.
In view of this trend of development and the favorable government’s policy regarding the new energy vehicles, the Group intends to tap the new energy business industry and as mentioned in the section headed ‘‘Reasons and Benefits of the Capital Injection’’, the Directors consider that the new energy business developed by the Target Company are expected to enable the Group to diversify its business risk and to increase the Shareholders’ value.
