Independent auditor’s report to the shareholders of Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited

(Incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability)

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited (“the company”) and its subsidiaries (together “the group”) set out on pages 43 to 124, which comprise the consolidated and company statements of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AuDITOR’s RespOnsIbILITy

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. This report is made solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

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 judgement, 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 the 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

The company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 28 February 2005 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands.

1 SigNiFicaNt accouNtiNg policieS

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared 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 (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 Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the group is set out below.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the group and the company. Note 1(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these financial statements.

(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “group”) and the group’s interest in an associate.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis.

The preparation of financial statements 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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

1 SigNiFicaNt accouNtiNg policieS (continued)

  • (b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements (continued)

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 2.

(c) changes in accounting policies

The HKICPA has issued a number of amendments to HKFRSs and one new Interpretation that are first effective for the current accounting period of the group and the company. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the group’s financial statements:

  • HKAS 24 (revised 2009), Related party disclosures

  • Improvements HKFRSs (2010)

The group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

The impacts of the above developments are discussed below:

  • HKAS 24 (revised 2009) revises the definition of a related party. As a result, the group has re-assessed the identification of related parties and concluded that the revised definition does not have any material impact on the group’s related party disclosures in the current and previous period. HKAS 24 (revised 2009) also introduces modified disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The disclosures about the group’s related parties have been conformed to the amended disclosure requirements.

  • Improvements to HKFRSs (2010) omnibus standard introduces a number of amendments to the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures. The disclosures about the group’s financial instruments have been conformed to the amended disclosure requirements. These amendments do not have any material impact on the classification, recognition and measurements of the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the current and previous periods.

(d) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. Control exists when the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

1 SigNiFicaNt accouNtiNg policieS (continued)

  • (d) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests (continued)

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the company, and in respect of which the group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at their proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets.

Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the company. Loans from holders of non-controlling interests and other contractual obligations towards these holders are presented as financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with note 1(o) depending on the nature of the liability.

In the company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(l)), unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale).

(e) associates

An associate is an entity in which the group or the company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

1 SigNiFicaNt accouNtiNg policieS (continued)

(e) associates (continued)

An investment in an associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method, unless it is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the group’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post acquisition change in the group’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see notes 1(f) and (l)). Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the consolidated income statement, whereas the group’s share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

When the group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the group’s interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the group’s long-term interests that in substance form part of the group’s net investment in the associate.

Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the investee, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(f) goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of

  • (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over

  • (ii) the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.

When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (see note 1(l)).

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

1 SigNiFicaNt accouNtiNg policieS (continued)

(f) goodwill (continued)

On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of profit or loss on disposal.

(g) other investment in equity securities

The group’s and the company’s policies for investments in equity securities, other than investments in subsidiaries and associates, are as follows:

Investments in equity securities are initially stated at cost, which is their transaction price unless fair value can be more reliably estimated using valuation techniques whose variables include only data from observable markets. Cost includes attributable transaction costs.

Investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(l)).

(h) investment property

Investment properties are stated in the statements of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(l)). Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value if applicable and is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 25 years to 38 years.

Rental income from investment properties is accounted for as described in note 1(u)(iv).

When the group holds a property interest under an operating lease to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, the interest is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis. Any such property interest which has been classified as an investment property is accounted for as if it were held under a finance lease (see note 1(k)), and the same accounting policies are applied to that interest as are applied to other investment properties leased under finance leases. Lease payments are accounted for as described in note 1(k).

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is stated at cost less impairment loss (see note 1(l)) until construction or development is complete.

(i) other property, plant and equipment

Other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(l)).

  • (i) other property, plant and equipment (continued)

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see note 1(w)).

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. Any related revaluation surplus is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained profits and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings 20 years
Plant and machinery 5 to 10 years
Motor vehicles 4 to 5 years
Other property, plant and equipment 3 to 5 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

(j) intangible assets (other the goodwill)

Intangible assets that are acquired by group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see note 1(l)). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

– Software 5 years
– Copyright 2 years

Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.

  • (k) leased assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the group 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 group

Assets that are held by group under leases which transfer to the group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the group are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:

  • property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (see note 1(h)).

  • (ii) Operating lease charges

Where the group 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.

The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term except where the property is classified as an investment property (see note 1(h)) or properties for sale (see note 1(m)(ii)).

  • (l) impairment of assets

  • (i) Impairment of investments in debt and equity securities and other receivables

Investments in debt and equity securities and other current and non-current receivables that are stated at cost or amortised cost or are classified as available-for-sale securities 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 group 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;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and

  • a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows:

– For investments in subsidiaries and associates (including those recognised using the equity method (see note 1(e))), the impairment loss is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount in accordance with note 1(l)(ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount in accordance with note 1(l)(ii).

– For unquoted equity securities carried at cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset where the effect of discounting is material. Impairment losses for equity securities carried at cost are not reversed.

  • (l) impairment of assets (continued)

  • (i) Impairment of investments in debt and equity securities and other receivables (continued)

    • For trade and other current receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, 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 years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable included within trade and 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 group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable 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) 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, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • property, plant and equipment;

  • investment property;

  • (ii) Impairment of other assets (continued)

    • construction in progress;

    • pre-paid interest in leasehold land classified as being under an operating leases;

    • intangible assets; and

    • goodwill.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its 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. 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 cash-generating 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 cost to sell, or value in use, if determinable.

    • Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

A reversal of an impairment losses is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

(m) inventories

  • (i) Manufacturing of paper cartons and products

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When the inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is realisable as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is realisable. The amount of any writedown of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(m) inventories (continued)

(ii) Property development

Inventories in respect of property development activities are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost and net realisable values are determined as follows:

  • Property under development for sale

The cost of properties under development for sale comprises specifically identified cost, including the acquisition cost of land, aggregate cost of development, materials and supplies, wages and other direct expenses, an appropriate proportion of overheads and borrowing costs capitalised (see note 1(w)). Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in selling the property.

  • Completed property held for resale

In the case of completed properties developed by the group, cost is determined by apportionment of the total development costs for that development project, attributable to the unsold properties. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less costs to be incurred in selling the property.

The cost of completed properties held for sale comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

(n) trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts (see note 1(l)), 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 impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts (see note 1(l)).

(o) interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of borrowings, together with any interest and fee payable, using the effective interest method.

(p) trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(q) 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.

(r) employee benefits

  • (i) 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 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) Share based payments

The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in a capital reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the options, the total estimated fair value of the options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest.

During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any resulting adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognised in prior years is charged/ credited to the profit or loss for the year of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. On vesting date, the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that relate to the market price of the company’s share. The equity amount is recognised in the capital reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is transferred to the share premium account) or the option expires (when it is released directly to retained profits).

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised when, and only when, the group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

(s) income tax

Income tax for the 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 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 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 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 differences 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.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, 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 group 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.

  • (s) income tax (continued)

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.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.

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 company or the group 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 company or the group 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.

(t) provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the group or the company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, 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 expenditures 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 non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(u) 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 group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Sales of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

(ii) Sale of properties

Revenue arising from the sale of properties held for sale is recognised upon the later of the signing of the sale and purchase agreement and the completion of the properties which is taken to be the point in time when the risks and rewards of ownership of the property have passed to the buyer. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the statement of financial position under forward sales deposits and instalments received.

(iii) Sale of tickets

Revenue from the sales of tickets of theme park is recognised when the services are rendered and the ticket proceeds have been received. Revenue from the sales of tickets excludes business tax or other sales related tax and is after deduction of any discounts.

(iv) Rental income from operating leases

Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognised in the profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned. Revenue from operating leases excludes business tax or other sales related tax.

(v) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(vi) Government grants

Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the group for expenses incurred are recognised as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

(v) translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.

The results of foreign operations are translated into Renminbi at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Items in the statement of financial position are translated into Renminbi at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

(w) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or complete.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

2 accouNtiNg eStimateS

Note 13 contains information about the assumptions relating to goodwill impairment. Other key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:

(i) impairment loss for trade and other receivables

As explained in note 1(l), the group makes impairment loss for trade and other receivables based on the group’s estimates of the present value of the estimated future cash flow. Given the uncertainties involved in estimating the future cash flow of individual customer, the actual recoverable amount may be higher or lower than that estimated at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) impairment loss for fixed assets

As explained in note 1(l), the group makes impairment provision for fixed assets taking into account the group’s estimates of the recoverable amount from such properties. The recoverable amounts have been determined based on value-in-use calculations, taking into account the latest market information and past experience. These calculation and valuations require the use of judgement and estimates. Uncertainty exists in these estimations.

Given the volatility of the PRC property market, the actual recoverable amount may be higher or lower than estimated at the end of the reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in future years.

(iii) provision for completed properties held for sale and properties held for future development and under development for sale

As explained in note 1(l), the group’s completed properties held for sale and properties held for future development and under development for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Based on the group’s recent experience and the nature of the subject properties, the group makes estimates of the selling prices, the costs of completion in case for properties under development for sale, and the costs to be incurred in selling the properties based on prevailing market conditions.

If there is an increase in costs to completion or a decrease in net sales value, the net realisable value will decrease and this may result in provision for completed properties held for sale and properties held for future development and under development for sale. Such provision requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, the carrying value and provision for properties in the periods in which such estimate is changed will be adjusted accordingly.

(iv) Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses carried forward are recognised and measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. In determining the carrying amounts of deferred assets, expected taxable profits are estimated which involves a number of assumptions relating to the operating environment of the group and require a significant level of judgement exercised by the directors. Any change in such assumptions and judgement would affect the carrying amounts of deferred tax asset to be recognised and hence the net profit in future years.

(v) pRc corporate income tax (“cit”) and pRc land appreciation tax (“lat”)

As explained in note 6(a), the group is subject to PRC CIT and PRC LAT under audited taxation method. Significant judgement is required in determining the level of provision, as the calculations of which depend on the ultimate tax determination and are subject to uncertainty. When the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

Before the final settlement of the development costs and other costs relating to the sale of the properties, these costs are accrued by the group based on management’s best estimate.

When developing properties, the group typically divides the development projects into phases. Specific costs directly related to the development of a phase are recorded as the cost of such phase. Costs that are common to phases are allocated to individual phases based on gross floor area.

Where the final settlement of costs and the related cost allocation is different from the initial estimates, any increase or decrease in the development costs and other costs would affect the profit or loss in future years.

(b) Segment reporting

The group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by business lines (products and services). In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the group has presented the following two reportable segments.

  • Comprehensive development business: this segment engaged in the development and operation of tourism theme park, developed and sold residential properties, and development and management of properties.

  • Manufacture and sale of paper cartons and products: this segment engaged in the manufacture and sale of paper cartons and products.

  • (i) Segment results, assets and liabilities

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the group’s senior executive management monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Segment assets include all tangible, intangible assets and current assets. Segment liabilities include trade creditors, accruals and bills payable attributable to the manufacturing and sales activities of the individual segments and bank borrowings managed directly by the segments.

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.

The measure used for reporting segment result is “net profit”. Inter-segment sales are priced with reference to prices charged to external parties for similar orders.

Starting from 2011, to arrive at the net profit of each segment, expenses not specifically attributed to individual segments, such as directors’ and auditors’ remuneration and other head office or corporate administration costs, were allocated to each individual segment in proportion to its turnover. Previous year’s segment information was restated accordingly.

(i) Corporate income tax (“CIT”)

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, the group is not subject to any income tax in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands during the year (2010: Nil).

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the group did not have any assessable profits subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax during the year (2010: Nil).

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, taxation for PRC subsidiaries is charged at the appropriate current rates of taxation ruling in the relevant cities in the PRC, which range between 24% – 25% (2010: 22% – 25%). Certain subsidiaries are entitled to a tax concession period in which it is fully exempted from PRC income tax for two years, starting from its first profit-making year, followed by a 50% reduction in the PRC income tax for the next three years (“two years free and three years half”).

According to the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC and Circular 39, the income tax rate of certain PRC subsidiaries are reduced from 33% to 25% from 1 January 2008; the tax rate of certain PRC subsidiaries are gradually increased from 15% to 25% over a fiveyear transitional period (18% in 2008, 20% in 2009, 22% in 2010, 24% in 2011 and 25% in 2012 and thereafter). If a PRC subsidiary has not become profit-making and enjoyed the two years free and three years half tax concession period before 2008, the PRC subsidiary can enjoy the tax concession period from 2008 and onward.

(a) taxation in the consolidated income statement represents: (continued)

(i) Corporate income tax (“CIT”) (continued)

Additionally, a 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends declared to foreign investors from the PRC effective from 1 January 2008. A lower withholding tax rate may be applied if there is a tax treaty arrangement between the PRC and jurisdiction of the foreign investors. According to the tax treaty between Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and PRC for avoidance of double taxation and prevention of tax evasion, dividends from declared from PRC subsidiaries to Hong Kong holding companies are subject to 5% withholding income tax from 1 January 2008 and onwards.

(ii) PRC Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

LAT is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures including lease charges of land use rights and all property development expenditures, which is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as income tax. The group has estimated the tax provision for LAT according to the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations. The actual LAT liabilities are subject to the determination by the tax authorities upon completion of the property development projects and the tax authorities might disagree with the basis on which the provision for LAT is calculated.

(e) Fixed assets leased out under operating leases

The group leases out investment property under operating leases. The leases typically run for an initial period of 1 to 2 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date at which time all terms are renegotiated. In respect of most of the lessees entered or would enter into a new lease for the same or an equivalent asset with the group, the directors of the company are of the opinion that operating lease contracts under investment properties are cancellable, and no future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases were disclosed.

Impairment test for cash-generating units containing goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the group’s cash-generating units (“CGU”) identified according to the operating segment and manufacturing bases as follows:

241,688
266,625

(i) Shanghai, Shenzhen and Huizhou

The goodwill is mainly attributable to the skills and technical talent of Shanghai, Shenzhen and Huizhou work force, and the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the companies into the group’s existing manufacturing and sales of paper carton and products business.

(ii) Chengdu

The goodwill is mainly attributable to the opportunities for increasing returns as the Chengdu OCT projects benefit from the rise in urban disposable income and tourism numbers in the Chengdu area, skills and technical talent of Chengdu OCT’s work force, and the synergies expected to achieved from integrating Chengdu OCT into the group.

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs above are determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the period are extrapolated using an estimated weighted average growth rate, which and the discount rates are presented as below. The estimated weighted average growth rate is consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports. The growth rates used do not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the businesses in which the CGU operates. The discount rates used are after-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments.

The reversal of write-down of inventories made in prior years arose due to an increase in the estimated net realisable value of certain goods as a result of a change in consumer preferences.

The amount of properties for future development and under development expected to be recovered after more than one year is RMB330,683,000 (2010: RMB357,762,000). All of the other inventories are expected to be recovered within one year.

(c) trade receivable and bills receivable that are not impaired

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the group. Based on past experience, 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. The group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

The bank loans of the group at 31 December 2011 were guaranteed by its subsidiaries, namely Huali Holdings Company Limited, Wantex Investment Limited, Excel Founder Limited, Hanmax Investment Limited, Barwin Development Limited, Forever Galaxies Limited, Fortune Crown International Limited and Miracle Stone Development Limited. Except for the above, the group and the company did not have secured or guaranteed bank loans at 31 December 2011.

All of the group’s banking facilities are subject to the fulfilment of covenants relating to certain of the group’s statement of financial position ratios, as are commonly found in lending arrangements with financial institutions. If the group were to breach the covenants, the drawn down facilities would become payable on demand. The group regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. Further details of the group’s management of liquidity risk are set out in note 27(b).

23 emPloyee retIremeNt beNeFItS

Pursuant to the relevant labour rules and regulations in the PRC, the group participates in defined contribution retirement benefit schemes (the “Schemes”) organised by the relevant local government authorities in Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Shanghai, Anhui and Chengdu whereby the group is required to make contributions to the Schemes at a rate ranging from 11% to 22% (2010: 10% to 22%) of the eligible employees’ salaries. The local government authorities are responsible for the entire pension obligations payable to the retired employees.

The group also operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“the MPF scheme”) under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF scheme is a defined contribution retirement plan administered by independent trustees. Under the MPF scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the plan at 5% of the employees’ relevant income, subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of HK$20,000. Contributions to the plan vest immediately.

The group has no other material obligation for the payment of pension benefits associated with those schemes beyond the annual contributions described above.

In accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1(s), the group has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of cumulative tax losses of RMB7,822,000 (2010: RMB9,941,000) as it is not probable that future taxable profits against which the losses can be utilised will be available in the relevant tax jurisdiction and entity. Among the RMB7,822,000, RMB410,000 will expire progressively in five years. The remaining tax losses do not expire under current tax regulations.

(d) Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Share premium and contributed surplus

Under the Companies Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, the funds in the share premium account and the contributed surplus account of the company are distributable to the shareholders of the company provided that immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be distributed, the company will be in a position to pay off its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

The excess of the issued price net of any issuance expenses over the par value of the shares issued has been credited to the share premium account of the company.

  • (d) Nature and purpose of reserves (continued)

(ii) Merger reserve

Merger reserve arose from the recognition of the remaining goodwill arising on the original acquisition of the subsidiaries as recorded in the controlling party’s financial statements in these financial statements.

(iii) Capital reserve

Capital reserve comprises the following:

  • difference between the total amount of registered capital and the amount of contributions from the equity holders of a subsidiary; and

  • the portion of the grant date fair value of unexercised share options granted to employees of the company that has been recognised in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for share-based payments in note 1(r)(ii).

(iv) General reserve fund

Transfers from retained earnings to general reserve fund were made in accordance with the relevant PRC rules and regulations and the articles of association of the company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC and were approved by the respective boards of directors.

The subsidiaries in the PRC are required to transfer 10% of their net profits, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to general reserve fund until the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. The transfer to this fund must be made before distribution of dividends to the equity holders.

General reserve fund can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into paid up capital provided that the balance of the general reserve fund after such conversion is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

(v) Enterprise expansion fund

The subsidiaries in the PRC are required to transfer a certain percentage of their net profits, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the enterprise expansion fund. The percentage of this appropriation is decided by the directors of the subsidiaries.

The enterprise expansion fund can be used for the subsidiaries’ business development purposes and for working capital purposes. This fund can also be used to increase capital of the subsidiaries, if approved. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. Transfers to this fund must be made before distribution of dividends to the equity holders.

(e) distributability of reserves

At 31 December 2011, the aggregate amount of reserves available for distribution to equity shareholders of the company is RMB1,291,697,000 (2010: RMB1,317,273,000). After the end of the reporting period, the directors proposed a final dividend of HK$7.30 cents per ordinary share (2010: HK$3 cents per share), amounting to RMB30,168,000 (2010: RMB13,190,000). This dividend has not been recognised as a liability at the end of the reporting period.

(f) Capital management

The group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.

The group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.

The group monitors its capital structure on the basis of an adjusted net debt to capital ratio. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total debt (which includes interest-bearing loans and borrowings and trade and other payables) plus unaccrued proposed dividends, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity less unaccrued proposed dividends.

During 2011, the group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2010 was to maintain the adjusted net debt-to-capital ratio at a level of industry average. In order to maintain or adjust the ratio, the group may issue new shares, return capital to shareholders, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce debt.

27 FINaNCIal rISk maNagemeNt aNd FaIr value

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the group’s business. The group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the group to manage these risks are described below:

(a) Credit risk

The group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

27 FINaNCIal rISk maNagemeNt aNd FaIr value (continued)

(a) Credit risk (continued)

In respect of receivables of mortgage sales, no credit terms will be granted to the purchasers. In addition, the group did not provide any guarantee to the banks to secure repayment obligations of such purchasers. In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are due within 60-120 days from the date of billing. Debtors with balances that are more than 1 month past due are requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the group has significant exposure to individual customers. At the end of the reporting period, 5% (2010: 5%) and 16% (2010: 17%) of the total trade and other receivables was due from the group’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.

Except for the financial guarantees given by the group as set out in note 29, the group does not provide any other guarantees which would expose the group or the company to credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of these financial guarantees at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in note 29.

Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are set out in note 18.

(b) liquidity risk

Individual operating entities within the group are responsible for their own cash management, including the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by the company’s board when the borrowings exceed certain predetermined levels of authority. The group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the group’s exposure to liquidity risk arising from trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, borrowings and other payables to intermediate holding company are set out in notes 18, 20, 22 and 30.

For term loans subject to repayment on demand clauses which can be exercised at the bank’s sole discretion, note 22 shows the cash outflow based on the contractual repayment schedule and, separately, the impact to the timing of the cash outflows if the lenders were to invoke their unconditional rights to call the loans with immediate effect.

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)

27 FINaNCIal rISk maNagemeNt aNd FaIr value (continued)

(c) Interest rate risk

The group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk.

The effective interest rate of cash and cash equivalents is 1.32% per annum (2010: 0.61% per annum). The effective interest rate of bank loans and related party loans is 4.27% per annum (2010: 4.34% per annum). The interest rates and terms of repayment of the group’s borrowings and other payable to intermediate holding company are disclosed in notes 22 and 30.

At 31 December 2011, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 25 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have decreased/increased the group’s profit after tax and retained profits by approximately increased RMB882,000 (2010: increased RMB1,204,000).

The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the group’s profit after tax (and retained profits) that would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non– derivative instruments held by the group at the end of the reporting period, the impact on the group’s profit after tax (and retained profits) is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.

(d) Currency risk

The group is exposed to currency risk primarily through sales and purchases which give rise to receivables, payables and cash balances that are denominated in a foreign currency, i.e. a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which the transactions relate. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Euros, United States dollars, Hong Kong dollars. The group manages this risk as follows:

(i) Forecast transactions

The group hedge certain of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of committed future sales and purchases and certain of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecast sales and purchases. The group used forward exchange contracts to mitigate its currency risk.

(ii) Exposure to currency risk

The following table details the group’s and the company’s exposure at the end of the reporting period to currency risk arising from recognised assets or liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity to which they relate.

(iii) Sensitivity analysis

A 5 per cent weakening of the Hong Kong dollars and United States dollars against the above RMB at 31 December 2011 would have increased profit by RMB18,898,000 (2010: increased RMB14,405,000). This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.

A 5 per cent strengthening of the Hong Kong dollars and United States dollars against the above currencies at 31 December would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Results of the analysis as presented above represent an aggregation of the instantaneous effects on each of the group entities’ profit after tax and equity measured in the respective functional currencies.

The sensitivity analysis assumes that the change in foreign exchange rates had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the group which expose the group to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, including inter-company payables and receivables within the group which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currencies of the lender or the borrower. The analysis excludes differences that would result from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into the group’s presentation currency. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.

(e) Fair values

All financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2011 and 2010 due to their nature of short-term maturities or floating interest rate for the long-term bank loans.

(f) estimation of fair values

(i) Forward exchange contracts

Forward exchange contracts are either marked to market using listed market prices or by discounting the contractual forward price and deducting the current spot rate.

(ii) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at current market interest rates for similar financial instruments.

Financial guarantees issued

As at the end of the reporting period, the company has issued the following guarantees:

  • (a) a single guarantee to a bank in respect of a trade facility granted to a wholly owned subsidiary; and

  • (b) a single guarantee to a bank in respect of a banking facility granted to a wholly owned subsidiary which expires on 14 September 2014.

As at the end of the reporting period, the directors do not consider it probable that a claim will be made against the company under any of the guarantees. The maximum liability of the company at the end of the reporting period under the guarantees issued is the facility drawn down by the subsidiary of HKD14,667,000 (2010: HKD20,000,000).

The company has not recognised any deferred income in respect of the guarantee as its fair value cannot be reliably measured using observable market data and its transaction price was nil.

30 materIal related Party traNSaCtIoNS

(a) transactions with other state-controlled entities:

The company is a state-controlled entity and operates in an economic regime currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly controlled by the PRC government (“state-controlled entities”) through its government authorities, agencies, affiliations and other organisations.

Other than those disclosed in 30(b), transactions with other state-controlled entities include but are not limited to the following:

  • Purchase of service;

  • Utility supplies; and

  • Financial services arrangement.

These transactions are conducted in the ordinary course of the group’s business on terms comparable to those with other entities that are not state-controlled. The group has established its buying, pricing strategy and approval process for purchases and sales of products and services. Such buying, pricing strategy and approval processes do not depend on whether the counterparties are state-controlled entities or not.
