Business Review
In 2015, the global economy was moving along the path of recovery amidst twists and turns. Overall, developing countries faced slowdown in economic growth, while China's economy was further characterized by the "new normal state".

Comprehensive Development Business
In 2015, the People's Bank of China had initiated five rounds of cutting of Required Reserve Ratio (RRR) and interest rate, which resulted in the increase in market liquidity and decrease in capital cost. Due to these favorable factors, combined with favorable policy support resulting from the gradual release of purchase restriction on the purchase of second house in some cities, the domestic property market experienced a stable release in demand. In particular, both volume and price recorded a rise in first-tier and key second-tier cities. Overall, the property market saw improvement during the relevant period. Leveraging on the market opportunities, the Group achieved satisfactory operating results in its comprehensive development by taking advantage of its brand and greater promotional efforts.

Paper Packaging Business
The Group has nearly 30 years of experience in the packaging and printing industry. It has set up five manufacturing bases and several subsidiaries in economically dynamic regions including the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, which are located in Huizhou of Guangdong, Shanghai, Zhongshan of Guangdong, Chuzhou of Anhui and Suzhou of Jiangsu, respectively, and has built up the "Huali" brand with solid customer base and good market reputation.
In 2015, the manufacturing sector and enterprises engaging in packaging business, being the supporting sector of the former, faced notable pressure arising from overcapacity, decrease in order from overseas customers, sluggish sales, as well as continued rise in costs. In the face of these adverse factors in operating environment, the Group made greater efforts in exploring domestic market, innovating marketing system, and actively tapping into fast-growing market segments such as e-business and logistics. Through these initiatives, the Group secured customer orders despite various operating difficulties. In addition, the Group endeavoured to streamline its

management of internal affairs to enhance operating efficiency and effect. In 2015, construction of the new factory of 蘇州華力環保包裝科技有限公司 (Suzhou Huali Environmental Packaging Technology Co., Ltd) ("Suzhou Huali") was completed, which is scheduled to be put into operation in 2016. During the Period Under Review, our paper packaging business recorded a revenue of approximately RMB840 million, representing a decrease of approximately 1.0% as compared with the same period of 2014; and profit attributable to shareholders of the Company amounted to approximately RMB18.13 million, representing a decrease of approximately 1.6% over the same period of 2014.
Outlook
Looking forward to 2016, with the US Federal Reserve initiating the cycle of rising interest rates, we have witnessed a decrease in global capital flowing into, even a reflux from, emerging economies, and a continuous fall in international commodity prices. Economies around the world are facing various challenges. In terms of domestic economy, performance of the "troika", namely investment, consumption and import was relatively weak, and downward pressure on the economy still existed. Benefiting from a series of proactive initiatives implemented by the Chinese government, such as "One Belt One Road", "reform of the supply side" and "innovation-driven", we anticipate acceleration in the pace of structural adjustment of the economy, and sustained improvement in the quality of economic growth.
In 2016, the Chinese government will adhere to the basic principle of "promoting consumption and focusing on destocking" for its policies of property development, with a view to releasing the demand, and will continue to promote the establishment and construction of the longterm mechanism for regulation over the property market. In view of this, the Group remains cautiously optimistic on the domestic property market in 2016. The Group's projects are located in the first-tier and second-tier core cities which still have relatively great development potential, which are beneficial for the development of the business of the Group.

Comprehensive Development Business
In 2016, based on market conditions, the Group will focus on destocking, accelerating the speed of turnover of its assets, and increasing operational efficiency. In view of the stabilization of property market, as well as the solid customer base built over the long term, and the satisfactory quality of products and services, we are confident that these projects will deliver positive results.
The Company has made the following plans for the projects in 2016 according to its established development plan and various market conditions faced by each project:
The Shanghai Suhewan Project will continue to sell residential and commercial properties, accelerate the construction and pre-opening preparation of Bulgari Hotel, and make efforts to launch the high-end served department into the market in the year, with a total saleable area of approximately 76,000 sq.m. Subsequent to the formal integration of the Jing'an District with the Zhabei District in Shanghai, the Suhewan segment, where the Shanghai Suhewan Project is located, will become a core segment of the new Jing'an District, and is expected to gain more impetus for development. Currently, the area has attracted a number of multinational
and large property developers. As an iconic commercial complex project, the Shanghai Suhewan Project will remain in the spotlight of the market. The Chengdu OCT Project will launch the high-end custom villa in the only eyot of the downtown of Chengdu and a new batch of high-rise residential properties, and continue its sale of low-density residential properties and high-end office products, with saleable area of approximately 304,000 sq.m., and speed up its commercial development. The first Wal-Mart Sam's Club store in the Southwest China is expected to open in 2017. The Beijing Unique Garden Project will continue the sales of high-rise residential properties. As at the end of 2015, the total amount of Beijing Unique Garden sold but not recognized was approximately RMB5.27 billion, and will continue to contribute significant investment return to the Group in the future. Retrofitting of Building 3# of the OCT Chang'an Metropolis Project will be completed and leasing will be launched in 2016.
Looking forward to 2016, we will continue to adhere to industry-leading development concept and clear market orientation, fully utilize our advantages, and make active efforts in seeking land resources and project merger and acquisition opportunities which are in line with the Group's strategic positioning. In the meantime, we will enrich our portfolio of quality project reserve, with a view to strengthening the potential for future development of the Company.
Paper Packaging Business
Looking into 2016, leading by the national strategies such as "Industry 4.0" in the era of "Internet+" and "Made in China 2025", the pace of industrial transformation and upgrading speeded up further. The paper packaging business will see new development opportunities. However, the Group will still face fierce market competition within this sector. In 2016, the new factory of Suzhou Huali will be put into operation. This will further enhance the productivity, resulting in effective improvement in the market sale and presence of the Group in the Yangtze River Delta regions. The Group will continue to expand markets, further optimize customer structure, and expand market sales, while making greater efforts in the reform of equipment and logistics automation, with a view to enhancing operational efficiency. In addition, the Group will also speed up the innovation of its packaging business, with a focus on the innovation of products, technologies and management. Efforts will also be made to the expansion of the scope of its operations, as well as to the enhancement of research & development and design capabilities in packing and integrated services.
The board (the "Board") of directors of the Company (the "Directors") has full confidence in the development prospect in the future. The Group will also strive to bring satisfactory return to its shareholders supported by its parent company, Overseas Chinese Town Enterprise Company (華僑城集團公司) and by leveraging the brands, resources and experience advantages of its parent company in the composite project development area and through innovation development and win-win cooperation.
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.

Principal risks and uncertainties
A number of factors may affect the results and business operations of the Group, the summary of which is as follows.
Fierce industry competition
The fierce competition among property developers may lead to the increase in acquisition costs of land and construction costs in certain regions in China, the over-provision of real estate, decrease in price of the properties and slower approval and review of new property development projects by the relevant Chinese government departments well as increase in human resource costs.
Fluctuation risk of exchange rates
The group focuses on operations in China, and as a result most revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. The exchange rates of the RMB against the U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies fluctuate and are affected by, among other things, the policies of the PRC Government and changes in the PRC's and international political and economic conditions.
Fluctuation of interest rates
The Group relied on interest bearing debts as one of the important financing sources to fund its operations. Most of the loans are RMB denominated, thus any changes in interest rates in the PRC will affect the financing costs of the Group.
External contractors and suppliers
In the event that the performance of the external contractors and suppliers entrusted by the Group falls short of the standards, or they encounter financial, operational or managerial difficulties, this may disrupt the construction progress of the Group's property developments and may incur additional costs as well as potential compensation payable to the customers for delay in completion and delivery of property development.

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 financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2015, and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

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 17 to the consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of the directors of the Company, as at 31 December 2015, Pacific Climax Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the immediate parent; 深圳華僑城股份有限公司 (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 華僑城集團公 司 (Overseas Chinese Town Enterprises Corporation) ("OCT Group"), a state-owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC, is the ultimate parent of the Company.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"); Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS"); and Interpretations. These consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") and with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
(a) Application of new and revised HKFRSs
In the current year, the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2015.
Amendment to HKAS 40 (Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle)
The amendment clarifies the application of HKFRS 3 and HKAS 40 in respect of acquisitions of investment property. HKAS 40 assists preparers to distinguish between investment property and owneroccupied property, then HKFRS 3 helps them to determine whether the acquisition of an investment property is a business combination. The amendment had no effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS (continued)
(a) Application of new and revised HKFRSs (continued)
Amendment to HKFRS 8 (Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle)
The amendment requires disclosure of the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, and clarifies that reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets are required only if the segment assets are reported regularly. These clarifications had no effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
(b) New and revised HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2015. The directors anticipate that the new and revised HKFRSs will be adopted in the Group's consolidated financial statements when they become effective. The Group is in the process of assessing, where applicable, the potential effect of all new and revised HKFRSs that will be effective in future periods but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
List of New and revised HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective:
| HKFRS 9 | Financial Instruments1 |
|---|---|
| HKFRS 15 | Revenue from Contracts with Customers1 |
| Amendment to HKAS 1 | Disclosure Initiative2 |
| Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 | Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and |
| Amortisation2 | |
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with earlier application permitted.
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with earlier application permitted.
(c) Disclosure requirements under the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622)
The requirements of Part 9 "Accounts and Audit" of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) came into operation during the financial year. Although the Company is not incorporated in Hong Kong, the Listing Rules require the Company to comply with the disclosure requirements of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap.622). As a result, there are changes to presentation and disclosures requirements of certain information in the consolidated financial statements.
(d) Amendments to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange
The Stock Exchange in April 2015 released revised Appendix 16 of the Listing Rules in relation to disclosure of financial information in annual reports that are applicable for accounting periods ending on or after 31 December 2015, with earlier application permitted. The Company has adopted the amendments resulting in changes to the presentation and disclosures of certain information in the consolidated financial statements.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 5.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated 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.
The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) the Company's share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill and any accumulated exchange reserve relating to that subsidiary.
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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a) Consolidation (continued)
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.
(b) Business combination and goodwill
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and any contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
The excess of the sum of the consideration transferred over the Group's share of the net fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the sum of the consideration transferred is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Group.
In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary is remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value is added to the sum of the consideration transferred in a business combination to calculate the goodwill.
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.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units ("CGUs") or groups of CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. 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 and liabilities of the associate in an acquisition are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the investment 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 and other comprehensive income is recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), 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 entire carrying amount of that associate (including goodwill) 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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(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 ("RMB"), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
(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 monetary items that form part of the net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are reclassified to 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.

(e) Fixed assets
Fixed assets including buildings and leasehold land (classified as finance leases), held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes (other than properties under construction as described below), are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
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 |
| Interests in leasehold land held for own use | The shorter of the |
| lease terms and 50 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 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 to 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 2015
4. 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.
Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 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 to 10 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.
(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 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.
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 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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(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 consolidated 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.
(m) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial assets 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.
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables and availablefor-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method (except for short-term receivables where interest is immaterial) minus any reduction for impairment or uncollectibility. Typically trade and other receivables, bank balances and cash are classified in this category.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(m) Financial assets (continued)
(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as loans and 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 and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, 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 reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on availablefor-sale equity investments are 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.
(n) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
(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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(p) Financial liabilities and equity instruments (continued)
(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.
(ii) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised 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 earlier of handover or the completion of the legal transfer 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.
Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders' rights to receive payment are established.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. 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.
(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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(t) Borrowing costs (continued)
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.
Government grants relating to the purchase of assets are recorded as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
(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 of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 consolidated 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.
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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(v) Taxation (continued)
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) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date for indications of impairment and where an asset is impaired, it is written down as an expense through the consolidated statement of profit or loss to its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal of the individual asset or the CGU.
Value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the asset/CGU. Present values are computed using pre-tax discount rates that reflect the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset/CGU whose impairment is being measured.
Impairment losses for CGUs are allocated first against the goodwill of the unit and then pro rata amongst the other assets of the CGU. Subsequent increases in the recoverable amount caused by changes in estimates are credited to profit or loss to the extent that they reverse the impairment.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(y) Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether its financial assets are impaired, based on objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition, the estimated future cash flows of the (group of) financial asset(s) have been affected.
In addition, for trade receivables that are assessed not to be impaired individually, the Group assesses them collectively for impairment, based on the Group's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the delayed payments in the portfolio, observable changes in economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables, etc.
Only for trade receivables, the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
For all other financial assets, the carrying amount is directly reduced by the impairment loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if the amount of the impairment loss decreases in a subsequent period and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed (either directly or by adjusting the allowance account for trade receivables) through profit or loss. However, the reversal must not result in a carrying amount that exceeds what the amortised cost of the financial asset would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed.
(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 consolidated financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when material.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
5. 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, in particular of a loss event, 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.
As at 31 December 2015, accumulated impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts amounted to approximately RMB10,753,000 (2014: RMB10,368,000).
(ii) Depreciation and impairment loss for fixed assets
The Group determines the estimated useful lives, residual values and related depreciation charges for the Group's fixed assets. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of fixed assets of similar nature and functions. The Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual values are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned.
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.
The carrying amount of fixed assets as at 31 December 2015 was approximately RMB2,640,860,000 (2014: RMB2,675,230,000).
For the year ended 31 December 2015
5. KEY ESTIMATES (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(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.
The carrying amount of completed properties held for sale and properties held for future development and under development for sale as at 31 December 2015 were approximately RMB3,798,083,000 (2014: RMB6,867,434,000) and RMB9,320,070,000 (2014: RMB6,760,876,000) respectively.
(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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets as at 31 December 2015 was approximately RMB160,947,000 (2014: RMB122,047,000).
(v) PRC Corporate Income Tax ("CIT") and PRC LAT
As explained in note 9(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.
The income tax provision of CIT and PRC LAT charged for the year ended 31 December 2015 were approximately RMB291,181,000 (2014: RMB240,380,000) and RMB423,266,000 (2014: RMB270,970,000) respectively.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
5. KEY ESTIMATES (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(vi) Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the CGU 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 CGU 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 RMB103,740,000 (2014: RMB223,476,000) after an impairment loss of RMB119,736,000 (2014: RMB43,719,000) was recognised during the year. Details of the impairment loss calculation are provided in note 16 to the consolidated 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.
6. REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Revenue
The principal activities of the Group are comprehensive development and paper packaging business.
Revenue represents the sales value of goods or services supplied to customers (net of value-added 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:
| 2015 | 2014 | |
|---|---|---|
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
| Comprehensive development business | 5,596,276 | 2,948,376 |
| Paper packaging business | 839,834 | 848,196 |
| 6,436,110 | 3,796,572 |

6. REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING (continued)
(a) Revenue (continued)
The Group's customer base is diversified and there was no customer with whom transactions exceeded 10% of the Group's revenues in 2015.
Further details regarding the Group's principal activities are disclosed in note 6(b) to the consolidated 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 most senior executive management of the Group 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 senior executive management of the Group 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.
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.
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 revenue.

14. FIXED ASSETS (continued)
(b) According to the State-owned Land Use Rights Grant Contract, leasehold land with carrying amount of RMB562,465,000 (2014: RMB580,806,000) located in the PRC of 成都天府華僑城實業有限公司 (Chengdu Tianfu OCT Industry Development Company Limited) ("Chengdu OCT") as at 31 December 2015 is non-transferable.
(c) Investment property
The Group leases out investment property. The leases typically run for an initial period of 1 to 3 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, except those investment properties situated in Hong Kong, are cancellable, and no future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases were disclosed for these investment properties.
Investment properties in the PRC are located in Chengdu which is part of the Chengdu OCT project and mainly represented retail shops surrounding the theme park operated by Chengdu OCT. The management considered that there are no markets for comparable properties in the region and the variability in the range of reasonable fair value measurements is great and the probabilities of the various outcomes are difficult to assess, that the usefulness of a single estimate measure of fair value is negated. Base on the above, the management concludes that the fair value of the investment properties in the PRC will not be reliably measurable on a continuing basis.
As at 31 December 2015, the management determines that the fair value of the investment properties located in Hong Kong acquired in current year was approximately RMB242,962,000. Such fair vale measurement was categorised within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and was derived using the market comparable approach based on recent market prices as inputs without any significant adjustment being made to the market observable data.
At 31 December 2015, the carrying amount of investment properties pledged as security for the Group's bank loan amounted to approximately RMB238,827,000 (2014: RMB Nil).

Impairment test for cash-generating units containing goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's CGU identified according to the operating segment as follows:
| 2015 | 2014 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Note | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
| Paper packaging business | |||
| Shanghai | (i) | 1,012 | 1,012 |
| Shenzhen and Huizhou | (i) | 23,925 | 23,925 |
| Comprehensive development business | |||

| Shanghai | (iii) | 570 | 570 |
| 103,740 | 223,476 |
(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 paper packaging 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 be achieved from integrating Chengdu OCT into the Group.
(iii) Shanghai
The goodwill is mainly attributable to the opportunities for increasing returns as 華僑城(上海)置地有 限公司 (Overseas Chinese Town (Shanghai) Land Company Limited) ("OCT Shanghai Land") projects benefit from the rise in urban disposable income and tourism numbers in the Shanghai area, skills and technical talent of OCT Shanghai Land's work force, and the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating OCT Shanghai Land 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 fiveyear 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 longterm average growth rates for the businesses in which the CGU operates. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments.

At 31 December 2015, before impairment testing, goodwill of RMB241,688,000 was allocated to Chengdu within the comprehensive development business segment.

These tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely under current tax regulations.

(d) Share capital (continued)
Notes:
(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.
(2) During the year, 2,576,000 share options of the Company at par value of HK\$0.1 were exercised at exercise price of HK\$4.04 per shares. The excess of the exercise price over the par value of the share issued has been credited to the share premium account of the Company.
(e) 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.
30. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION, CAPITAL, RESERVES AND DIVIDENDS (continued)
(e) 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 the consolidated 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 4(s) to the consolidated 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 4(d) to the consolidated 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.

(e) 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.
(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 2015, the Group's strategy, which was unchanged from 2014 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.
The externally imposed capital requirements for the Group are: (i) in order to maintain its listing on the Stock Exchange it has to have a public float of at least 25% of the shares; and (ii) to meet financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing borrowings.
The Group receives a report from the share registrars on substantial share interests showing the non-public float and it demonstrates continuing compliance with the 25% limit throughout the year.
Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing borrowing for the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2014.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
31. 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 its 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 normally 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, 1% (2014: 1%) and 1% (2014: 1%) of the total trade and other receivables was due from the Group's largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.
Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group's exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are set out in note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(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, and borrowings are set out in notes 22, 24 and 26.
For term loans subject to repayment on demand clauses which can be exercised at the bank's sole discretion, note 26 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.
The maturity analysis of the Group's financial liabilities based on the scheduled repayment dates is as follows:
| Less than 1 year RMB'000 |
Between 1 and 2 years RMB'000 |
Between 2 and 5 years RMB'000 |
Over 5 years RMB'000 |

For the year ended 31 December 2015
31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(c) Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from cash and cash equivalents and 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 1.16% per annum (2014: 0.40% per annum). The effective interest rate of bank loans and related party loans is 5.30% per annum (2014: 5.31% per annum). The interest rates and terms of repayment of the Group's borrowings and other payable to intermediate parents are disclosed in notes 24 and 34 to the consolidated financial statements.
At 31 December 2015, 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 RMB14,137,000 (2014: RMB19,303,000).
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 2014.
(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 (2014: RMB Nil).
For the year ended 31 December 2015
31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE (continued)
(d) Currency risk (continued)
(ii) Sensitivity analysis
A 5 per cent weakening of the Hong Kong dollars and United States dollars against the above RMB at 31 December 2015 would have increased profit by RMB66,027,000 (2014: RMB34,353,000). This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2014.
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 2014.

| Financial liabilities: | ||
| Financial liabilities at amortised cost | 13,699,910 | 13,850,404 |
(f) Fair values
Except as disclosed in note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, all financial instruments are carried at amounts not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 due to their nature of short-term maturities or floating interest rate for the long-term bank loans.
For the year ended 31 December 2015

(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.
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.
For the year ended 31 December 2015
34. MATERIAL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)
(a) Transactions with other state-controlled entities: (continued)
Having considered the potential for transactions to be impacted by related party relationships, the Group's pricing strategy, buying and approval processes and what information would be necessary for an understanding of the potential effect of the relationship on the financial statements, the directors are of the opinion that the following transactions with other state-controlled entities require disclosure:
