Paper Packaging Business
The Group has nearly 30 years of experience in the packaging and printing industry. It has set up four manufacturing bases in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, and branches located in places such as Huizhou, Zhongshan, Shanghai, Chuzhou, Wuhan, Suzhou, and has built up the "Huali" brand with solid customer base and good market reputation.
In 2013, global economy experienced weak recovery while domestic economic growth slowed down. Manufacturing industries and the related supporting industry, the paper packaging industry faced weak market demand, reduced orders and there was a constant increase in operating costs. The production operations of the Company's paper packaging business was thus moderately affected. Facing unfavorable factors in the operating environment, the Group has put greater effort in expanding the domestic sales market to overcome operating difficulties and also focused on enhancing internal management to raise the efficiency and quality of internal operations.
During the period under review, paper packaging business recorded a tur nover of approximately RMB780 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5.9% over the same period of 2012. Profit attributable to owners amounted to approximately RMB15.39 million representing a decrease of approximately 33.9% over the same period in 2012.

Outlook
Looking forward to 2014, global economy is expected to maintain stable growth, but uncertainties still exist. Major developed economies will developed on the basis of gradual recovery and will continue to be stable, while the development of emerging economies will be affected by the withdrawal of quantitative easing policies from the USA. China's economy will continue to be in the adjustment stage of structural transition and upgrade. The new session of the PRC government is expected to focus on "increasing activity, stabilizing forecasts, promoting transition" and maintain the continuity and stability of macroeconomic policies to promote a stable economy.

The Chinese government has paid more attention to ensuring the sustainable development of the real estate market with market-oriented approaches, and emphasized on making the market a decisive factor in resources allocation. The Group believes market orientation will benefit the healthy development of the real estate market. Also, benefiting from the gradual establishment of the centralised market for urban and rural construction land and the actively implemented people-based urbanisation,
we predict the real estate market in 2014 will become more reasonable and stable, but regional diversion will intensify while demand and pricing will grow faster in first and second tier cities. The Company's projects are located in the economic centers of China which will benefit the Company's business development.
Comprehensive development business
In 2014, the Group will strengthen its brand advantage, actively face market changes, grasp good opportunities to enter into the market, focus on differentiated marketing, discover client resources and promote sales growth. At the same time, the Group will persist with the quick turnover rate strategy, introduce products according to the market demand, speed up the collection of receivables and enhance the efficiency of capital used. The Group has made the following plans for the projects in 2014 based on the development plan of its projects and with reference to the development of the real estate markets: Shanghai Suhewan will introduce a wide range of products. Besides the continued sales of residential and commercial property products already

introduced, multi-storey riverside residential buildings, townhouses, luxury high-rise residential properties with rare landscape resources will be introduced at 1 Jiefang, approximately 36,700 sq.m. of saleable or leasable area is planned for new launch. It is predicted that the project's contribution to the Group's profit will increase rapidly. Chengdu OCT will speed up the development of commercial properties and continue to introduce high-end office property products while the residential project will continue to sell high-rise, multi-storey and low-density residential properties, approximately 120,000 sq.m. of saleable or leasable area is planned for new launch. By leveraging the Group's quality brand, resource advantages and successful experiences accumulated in the past, we believe each project will continue to achieve satisfactory results as in past years.
Looking forward, the Group will persist with established strategies, maintain a steady pace in investment, strictly control investment risk and acquire quality project resources at reasonable prices in areas with development potential of first and second tier cities, increase its land reserves and realize combination and rational allocation between large-scale integrated development projects and fast turnround projects. At the same time, we will use our current projects as our base and leverage the experience and advantages of OCT in cultural, technological and entertainment fields to constantly enrich our products and create new products, raise market influence and regional cohesiveness.
Paper packaging business
The Group will continue to expand markets, adjust sales strategies and incentive proposals and optimise customer structure by maintaining existing customers and searching for new customers. In order to accommodate customers undergoing industrial shift, the Group will construct a new factory in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, which is expected to commence production in 2015 aiming to stabilize its market share in the Yangtze River Delta region. The PRC government has promulgated numerous policies which encourage substituting paper for wood, substituting paper for plastic and policies to aid the development of the logistics industry. This will broaden the application of paper packaging products and is beneficial to the adjustment and development of the Group's new customers. By continuing to enhance management, lowering costs and improving efficiency, constantly optimizing the Company's customer structure, it is expected that the turnover and gross profit margin of the Group's paper packaging business in 2014 will increase steadily.


As a member of our controlling shareholder, OCT Group, the Company has full confidence in the development prospect in the future, and believes that the Company will receive support and continued concern from our parent company. The Company aims to become a prominent developer and operator of commercial complex, and continue to bring satisfactory return to its shareholders.
Appreciation
I, on behalf of the Board, hereby express our most sincere gratitude to the management team and all the staff for their efforts and contributions made in the development of the Group. I also take this opportunity to thank all shareholders and business partners for their confidence and support to the Group.

The Group considers that it has reasonable defence to the claim and will put forward a substantiated counterclaim. The Group will claim for additional compensation from the Vendor because the amount of Compensation and Remedies is more than the Remaining Instalment that can be offset.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF OVERSEAS CHINESE TOWN (ASIA) HOLDINGS LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 61 to 142, which comprise the consolidated and Company statements of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows 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 and to report our opinion 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2013, and of the Group's results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. The address of its registered office is Clifton House, PO Box 1350 GT, 75 Fort Street, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The address of its principal place of business is Suites 3203-3204, Tower 6, The Gateway, Harbour City, Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Company's shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are set out in note 16 to the financial statements.
In the opinion of the directors of the Company, as at 31 December 2013, Pacific Climax Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the immediate parent; Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Company Limited ("OCT Ltd"), a company incorporated in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") which shares listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Overseas Chinese Town (HK) Company Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, are the intermediate parents and Overseas Chinese Town Enterprises Corporation ("OCT Group"), a state-owned enterprise in the PRC, is the ultimate parent of the Company.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
In the current year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2013. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"); Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS"); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies, presentation of the Group's financial statements and amounts reported for the current year and prior years except as stated below:
(a) Amendments to HKAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"
Amendments to HKAS 1 titled Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income introduce new optional terminology for statement of comprehensive income and income statement that has been applied by the Group. Under the amendments to HKAS 1, a statement of comprehensive income is renamed as a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and an income statement is renamed as a statement of profit or loss. The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (continued)
(a) Amendments to HKAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (continued)
The amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.
The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the change. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to HKAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.
(b) HKFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"
HKFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities" specifies the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates, and introduces new disclosure requirements for unconsolidated structured entities.
The adoption of HKFRS 12 only affects the disclosures relating to the Group's subsidiaries and associates in the consolidated financial statements. HKFRS 12 has been applied retrospectively.
The Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the directors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these financial statements are disclosed in note 4 to the financial statements.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
(a) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group has power over an entity when the Group has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. activities that significantly affect the entity's returns.
When assessing control, the Group considers its potential voting rights as well as potential voting rights held by other parties. A potential voting right is considered only if the holder has the practical ability to exercise that right.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling shareholders and owners of the Company.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling shareholders even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
In the Company's statement of financial position the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Business combination and goodwill
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration. Acquisitionrelated costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Company.
In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary is remeasured at its fair value on the acquisition date (i.e. the date that the Company obtained control) and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value is added to the cost of acquisition to calculate the goodwill.
If the changes in the value of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary were recognised in other comprehensive income (for example, available-for-sale investment), the amount that was recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised on the same basis as would be required if the previously held equity interest were disposed of.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy (y) below. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cashgenerating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.
The non-controlling interests in the subsidiary are initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders' proportionate share of the net fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an entity but is not control or joint control over those policies. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible, including potential voting rights held by other entities, are considered when assessing whether the Group has significant influence. In assessing whether a potential voting right contributes to significant influence, the holder's intention and financial ability to exercise or convert that right is not considered.
Investment in an associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method and is initially recognised at cost. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate in an acquisition are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is tested for impairment together with the investment at the end of each reporting period when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss.
The Group's share of an associate's post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in consolidated profit or loss, and its share of the post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.
The gain or loss on the disposal of an associate that results in a loss of significant influence represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that associate and (ii) the Group's share of the net assets of that associate plus any remaining goodwill relating to that associate and any related accumulated exchange reserve. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture, the Group continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.
Unrealised profits on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
In the Company's statement of financial position the investments in associates are stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses. The results of associates are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi, which is the Company's presentation currency and the functional currency of the principal operating subsidiaries of the Group.
(ii) Transactions and balances in each entity's financial statements
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency on initial recognition using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values are determined.
When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Translation on consolidation
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Company's presentation currency are translated into the Company's presentation currency as follows:
- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
- Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates on the transaction dates); and
- All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange reserve.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in consolidated profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal useful lives are 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 |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Construction in progress represents buildings under construction and plant and machinery pending installation, and is stated at cost less impairment losses. Depreciation begins when the relevant assets are available for use.
The gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Investment properties
Investment properties are land and/or buildings held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. An investment property (including property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property) is measured initially at its cost including all direct costs attributable to the property.
After initial recognition, the investment property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost less the residual value over its estimated useful life ranging from 25 years to 38 years.
The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the property, and is recognised in profit or loss.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses. Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as 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.
(h) Leases
The Group as lessee
(i) Operating leases
Leases that do not substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group as lessor
(i) Operating leases
Leases that do not substantially transfer to the lessees all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Properties for sale under development
Properties for sale under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs include acquisition costs, prepaid land lease payments, construction costs, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the reporting period less selling expenses, or by estimates based on prevailing market conditions. On completion, the properties are reclassified to properties held for sale at the then carrying amount.
(j) Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of properties include acquisition costs, prepaid land lease payments, construction costs, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the reporting period less selling expenses, or by estimates based on prevailing market condition.
(k) Other inventories
Other inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure, and where appropriate, subcontracting charges. 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.
(l) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(m) Investments
Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except in the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Investments are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.
– Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets not classified as trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of these investments are recognised in other comprehensive income, until the investments are disposed of or there is objective evidence that the investments are impaired, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised in profit or loss. Dividend, foreign exchange gain/loss and interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, are measured at cost less impairment losses.
Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for equity investments classified as availablefor-sale financial assets are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently reversed and recognised in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(n) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivables' carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the receivables' recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(o) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
(p) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
(i) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(p) Financial liabilities and equity instruments (continued)
(ii) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(iii) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(q) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenues from the sales of goods are recognised on the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered and the title has passed to the customers.
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.
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.
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(r) Employee benefits
(i) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
(ii) Pension obligations
The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes which are available to all employees. Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees are calculated as a percentage of employees' basic salaries. The retirement benefit scheme cost charged to profit or loss represents contributions payable by the Group to the funds.
(iii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of the dates when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises restructuring costs and involves the payment of termination benefits.
(s) Share-based payments
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain directors, employees and consultants.
Equity-settled share-based payments to directors and employees are measured at the fair value (excluding the effect of non market-based vesting conditions) of the equity instruments at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non market-based vesting conditions.
Equity-settled share-based payments to consultants are measured at the fair value of the services rendered or if the fair value of the services rendered cannot be reliably measured, at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value is measured at the date the Group receives the services and is recognised as an expense.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(t) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(u) Government grants
A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to it and that the grant will be received.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate.
Government grants that become receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
(v) Taxation
Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(v) Taxation (continued)
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(w) 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 from sales of properties less deductible expenditures including land costs, borrowing costs, business taxes and all property development expenditures. LAT is recognised as an income tax expense. LAT paid is a deductible expense for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.

(x) Related parties
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.
- (a) A person or a close member of that person's family is related to the Group if that person:
- (i) has control or joint control over the Group;
- (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or
- (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.
- (b) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:
- (i) The entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
- (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
- (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
- (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
- (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group. If the Group is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Group.
- (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).
- (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
(y) Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and other intangible assets, except goodwill, deferred tax assets, investments, inventories and receivables to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(y) Impairment of assets (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of 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.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cashgenerating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(z) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a present 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 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 is remote.
(aa) Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group's position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
4. KEY ESTIMATES
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
(i) Impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts
The Group makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the actual result is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the year in which such estimate has been changed.
(ii) Impairment loss for fixed assets
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
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.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
4. KEY ESTIMATES (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(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 LAT
As explained in note 8(a) to the financial statements, 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.
(vi) Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cashgenerating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the reporting period was RMB267,195,000. Details of the impairment loss calculation are provided in note 15 to financial statements.
(vii) Recognition and allocation of construction cost on properties under development
Development costs of properties are recorded as properties under development during construction stage and will be transferred to profit or loss upon the recognition of the sale of the properties. 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.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
5. TURNOVER AND SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Turnover
The principal activities of the Group are comprehensive development and paper packaging business.
Turnover represents the sales value of goods or services supplied to customers (net of valueadded tax and business tax), including the sales of properties, rental income from investment properties, ticket sales from theme park and sales of paper cartons and products are as follows:
| 2013 | 2012 | |
|---|---|---|
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
| Comprehensive development business | 3,278,978 | 2,624,031 |
| Paper packaging business | 779,539 | 828,852 |
| 4,058,517 | 3,452,883 |
The Group's customer base is diversified and there was no customer with whom transactions exceeded 10% of the Group's revenues in 2013.
Further details regarding the Group's principal activities are disclosed in note 5(b) to the financial statements.
(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 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.
- Paper packaging business: 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 borrowings managed directly by the segments.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
5. TURNOVER AND SEGMENT REPORTING (continued)
(b) Segment reporting (continued)
(i) Segment results, assets and liabilities (continued)
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 Group has estimated the tax provision for PRC LAT according to the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations.

Allowance for doubtful debts in respect of trade and bills receivable are recorded using an allowance account unless the Group is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the doubtful debt is written off against trade and bills receivable directly.
The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, is as follows:
| The Group | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | ||
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | ||
| At 1 January | 7,919 | 8,232 | |
| Allowance for the year | 2,005 | 849 | |
| Reversal of allowance | (824) | (1,162) | |
| At 31 December | 9,100 | 7,919 |
At 31 December 2013, Nil (2012: Nil) of the Group's trade receivables were individually determined to be impaired. Consequently, no (2012: Nil) specific allowances for doubtful debts was recognised.
(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.

Inputs for measurement of grant date fair values
The following inputs were used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the sharebased payment plan on 3 March 2011.
| Expected vesting date | 3 March 2013 | 3 March 2014 | 3 March 2015 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value at grant date | 1.04 | 1.51 | 1.71 |

(c) Share capital (continued)
Authorised and issued share capital (continued)
Note:
(1) By an ordinary resolution passed in the special general meeting held on 19 July 2013 the authorised share capital of the Company was increased from HK\$200,000,000 to HK\$209,600,000 by the creation of 96,000,000 convertible preference shares of HK\$0.1 each ("CPS"), such new shares are non-voting shares and shall not carry any right or preference save as set out herein the Articles of Association of the Company.
According to the terms of the CPS, the CPS shall be non-redeemable, each CPS holder is entitled to a preferential dividend at a rate of 5 per cent per annum on HK\$4.05, being the price at which each CPS would be initially issued ("the Preferential Dividend") pari passu with other shares ranking pari passu as regards income with the CPS but otherwise in priority to any other class of shares in the capital of the Company from time to time in issue (including the ordinary shares of the Company). The board of directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect not to pay any Preferential Dividend in any given year. In the event that the Company elects not pay the Preferential Dividend in any given year, the Preferential Dividend not paid shall be extinguished and not be carried forward. The CPS shall not entitle the shareholders of the CPS thereof to any further or other right of participation in the profits of the Company.
During the period of existence of the CPS, subject to some conversion restriction, each holder of the CPS shall have the right to convert all or part of any CPSs into new ordinary shares at any time at the initial conversion price of HK\$4.05 per CPS.
The CPSs are recognised as equity.
- (2) On 6 June 2013, the Company entered three subscription agreements with three independent third parties in relation to subscription of 40,000,000 CPS, 40,000,000 CPS and 16,000,000 CPS respectively at a price of HK\$4.05 per CPS. The subscription was completed on 24 July 2013 and the premium on the issue of the CPS, amounting to approximately HK\$379,200,000 (approximately RMB302,109,000), net of share issue expenses of HK\$3,893,000 (approximately RMB3,102,000), was credited to the Company's share premium account.
- (3) On 6 June 2013, the Company entered a subscription agreement with Overseas Chinese Town (HK) Company Limited, an intermediate parent of the Company, in relation to subscribe 140,000,000 ordinary shares of HK\$0.1 each of the Company at a price of HK\$4.05 per ordinary share. The subscription was completed on 26 July 2013 and the premium on the issue of the ordinary shares, amounting to approximately HK\$553,000,000 (approximately RMB440,575,000), net of share issue expenses of HK\$982,000 (approximately RMB782,000), was credited to the Company's share premium account.
- (4) Shares issued under share option scheme
On 16 April 2012, 720,000 share options of the Company at par value of HK\$0.1 were exercised at exercise price of HK\$1.41 per share. The excess of the exercise price over the par value of the shares issued has been credited to the share premium account of the Company.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
28. CAPITAL, RESERVES AND DIVIDENDS (continued)
(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.
(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 owners of a subsidiary; and
- the portion of the grant date fair value of unexercised share options granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Group that has been recognised in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for share-based payments in note 3(s) to the financial statements.
(iv) Exchange reserve
The exchange reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 3(d) to the financial statements.
(v) 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 owners.
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.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
28. CAPITAL, RESERVES AND DIVIDENDS (continued)
(d) Nature and purpose of reserves (continued)
(vi) 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 owners.
(e) 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 2013, the Group's strategy, which was unchanged from 2012 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.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
29. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
(a) On 5 January 2012, Great Tec, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the conditional capital investment agreement ("Capital Investment Agreement") with Overseas Chinese Town Real Estate Company Limited ("OCT Properties"), pursuant to which Great Tec conditionally agreed to make capital injection of RMB2,232,000,000 to OCT Shanghai Land ("Capital Injection"). Upon completion of the capital investment, the registered capital of OCT Shanghai Land would be RMB3,030,000,000 and the equity interest of OCT Shanghai Land would be owned as to 50.5% by Great Tec and as to 49.5% by OCT Properties. The capital injection shall be contributed by Great Tec by phases within 2 years from the date of the approval of the joint venture contract. Prior to completion of the Capital Injection, dividend declared by OCT Shanghai Land shall be distributed between Great Tec and OCT Properties in the ratio of (i) actual amount contributed to OCT Shanghai Land by Great Tec and OCT Properties at the relevant balance sheet date at which the dividend is related to, to (ii) the mutually agreed net assets value of RMB2,188,000,000 as at 31 December 2011 of OCT Shanghai Land prior to the Capital Injection.
On 20 June 2012, the Capital Investment Agreement became binding and unconditional after the capital injection was approved by the independent shareholders of the Company at the extraordinary general meeting held on 12 April 2012 and the Group obtained all the necessary approvals from the PRC government authorities for the Capital Injection. Consequently, OCT Shanghai Land has become an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

For the year ended 31 December 2013
29. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES (continued)
(a) Pre-acquisition carrying amounts were determined based on applicable HKFRS immediately before the acquisition. The value of assets and liabilities recognised on acquisition are their fair values measured as follows: for the identifiable assets with an active market, the fair value was measured according to its market price; for the identifiable assets without an active market, the fair value was measured based on the market price of the same or similar kind of assets; if no active market exists for the same or similar assets, the fair value was measured by appraisal technique.
Goodwill is generated as a result of difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired and consideration.
Included in turnover and profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 was turnover of RMB640,482,000 and profit of RMB198,176,000 attributable to the business generated by OCT Shanghai Land since it was acquired by the Group in June 2012. Had this business combination been effected at the beginning of that period, the turnover of the Group would not have been affected and the profit for that year would have been decreased by RMB6,738,000.
(b) On 2 November 2012, Excel Founder, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with 天津津濱發展股份有限公司 (Tianjin Jinbin Development Company Limited) (the "Vendor"), pursuant to which Excel Founder conditionally agreed to acquire and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to dispose of the entire equity interest in Tianjin Tianxiao and all rights attached thereto for the consideration of RMB384,995,400 (the "Agreement").
A supplemental agreement was also entered into between Excel Founder and the Vendor on 2 November 2012, setting out further arrangement concerning a piece of land owned by Tianjin Tianxiao and the financial position of Tianjin Tianxiao (the "Supplemental Agreement").
On 27 December 2012, the Agreement and Supplemental Agreement became binding and unconditional after the acquisition was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the extraordinary general meeting held on 11 December 2012 and the Group obtained all the necessary approvals from the PRC government authorities for the acquisition. Consequently, Tianjin Tianxiao has become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
29. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES (continued)
(b) The principal asset held by Tianjin Tianxiao is a piece of land. Since Tianjin Tianxiao has not started its operation since its incorporation, the directors are of the opinion that the acquisition of Tianjin Tianxiao is in substance acquisition of assets, instead of an acquisition of business, and therefore is excluded from the scope of HKFRS 3. As a consequence, the acquisition did not give rise to goodwill. The purchase consideration was allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their relative fair values at the acquisition date as follows:
| RMB'000 | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 551,363 |
| Prepayment | 870,200 |
| Inventories | 552,834 |
| Other payables | (1,589,402) |
| Consideration | 384,995 |

30. 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.
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.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(a) Credit risk (continued)
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, 1% (2012: 0%) and 1% (2012: 7%) 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 32 to the financial statements, 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 32 to the financial statements.
Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group's exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are set out in note 20 to the financial statements.
(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 parent are set out in notes 20, 22, 24 and 33.
For term loans subject to repayment on demand clauses which can be exercised at the bank's sole discretion, note 24 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.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(b) Liquidity risk (continued)
The maturity analysis of the Group's financial liabilities based on the scheduled repayment dates is as follows:
| Less than | Between | Between | Over | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1 and 2 years | 2 and 5 years | 5 years | |
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |

| Trade and other payables | 3,051,770 | – | – | – |
| Bank loans | 231,586 | 296,113 | 757,503 | – |
| Related party loans | 1,197,077 | 1,802,753 | 7,331,515 | – |

| Related party loans | 4,136,149 | 706,373 | 7,541,581 | – |
(c) Interest 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 0.92% per annum (2012: 0.92% per annum). The effective interest rate of bank loans and related party loans is 5.69% per annum (2012: 5.31% 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 24 and 33 to the financial statements.
At 31 December 2013, 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 RMB20,975,000 (2012: RMB6,791,000).
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 2012.
For the year ended 31 December 2013
30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(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 United States dollars and 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. During the year, the Group has not 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.

The Group and the Company ensure that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates where necessary to address the short term imbalances.
(iii) Sensitivity analysis
A 5 per cent weakening of the Hong Kong dollars and United States dollars against the above RMB at 31 December 2013 would have increased profit by RMB22,931,000 (2012: RMB40,879,000). This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2012.
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 2012.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(e) Fair values
The financial statements, all financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2013 and 2012 due to their nature of short-term maturities or floating interest rate for the long-term bank loans.
