CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited takes no responsibility for the contents of this annual report, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this annual report.
This annual report, for which the directors of Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief:— (1) the information contained in this annual report is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading; (2) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this annual report misleading; and (3) all opinions expressed in this annual report have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are fair and reasonable.

Chairman’s Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”), I would like to present herewith the 2005 Annual Report of the Group.
BUSINESS REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
2005 was the second year the Group underwent strategic conversion and was a year of fundamental importance. The Group has focused all its human, financial and material resources on commencing the research and development and upgrading of the two major projects and the two major products on a full scale, and has made a strategic breakthrough. However, as the development, upgrading and stability testing of the four major projects and products has to continue in the following year, they have not generated any profits for the Group during the year. Through their efforts and dedication, the management of various levels, the technology research and development team and all staff in the past year have made tremendous contributions to the development, upgrading and stability of the four major projects and products as well as laying a foundation for sales in the future.
Banking Business
Sales of the Group’s original banking peripheral and non-core products, which generated profits in the earlier period but ceased to generate any profits in recent years, has been suspended in 2005. With a change in the market sales model for the Group’s POS machine business, which has been operated for many years, banks now place orders directly with the manufacturer. For the EagleEye monitoring product which the Group has successfully developed in 2004, because of the need to upgrade the product to the combined version for headquarters, the Group has not taken the initiative to increase sales of the original version in the market. Given the aforesaid three reasons, the Group saw a significant reduction in sales in 2005. Nevertheless, after making a serious analysis and a comprehensive evaluation, the Group believes that not proceeding with sales of these non-core businesses and peripheral products and hardware but capitalizing on the Group’s edge in resources to accelerate the progress of its four core projects and products is a fundamental guiding principle for ensuring the Group’s long-term development and strategic transformation. Bank risk control products on which the Group focused in 2005 have been proceeding steadily and smoothly. The success rate of this bank core business of the Group has been the highest in the industry in the PRC in 2004 and 2005. This highly difficult business has also created a high-quality technical team and market brand for the Group. The Group will continue to step up its efforts in sales and implementation in this market segment so as to increase the profitability of the Group in the future.
Securities Business
For the securities industry in the PRC, the Group’s new combined and upgraded version of bank transfers has gained recognition from two major headquarters customers. One of the customers has signed a contract with the Group and has commenced the implementation. Following the success of this sample, the Group believes that there will be more major customers of the headquarters-grade to follow suit. There are some signs for the recovery of the China stock market. Major securities dealers now have greater demand for the new generation securities combined big platform than in the past few years. The Group has successfully developed this product and is striving to find a new point for penetration. A major securities dealer, which has cooperated with the Group for many years, has increased the service fees paid to the Group for its platform by 100%. The term of the contract has also been changed to two years. This demonstrates that the securities dealer recognizes the Group’s in-depth understanding of the securities business in the PRC and its services. This is also an important edge for the Group in the securities market in the future, demonstrating that the Group’s new generation combined version meets the needs for market development. It is anticipated that in the future, the recovering China securities market will again generate a new effect and brings a new point of profit growth for the Group.

Chairman’s Statement
Education Business
For the education business, the Group successfully launched the School-Banking Financial Fees Collecting System and other School-Banking products during the year. The products were sold to more than 50 colleges and universities in 2005 as compared with more than 10 universities in 2004. The combined and general versions of these products were successfully developed in late 2005. Full efforts will be made to market these products to more universities, institutes of higher learning, large key secondary schools and colleges for professional training nationwide in the next three years. A large strategic project jointly developed by the Group and one of the most famous universities in the PRC has commenced in an all-round way. The first phase of the project has been implemented by the Group. It is anticipated that these new projects and products will generate long-term and stable income for the Group in the next couple of years.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Group continues to step up its devotion and marketing efforts in products of the bank risk control and management information categories, with a maturing technical team. This product of the Group will maintain its leading position in the market in the coming year. As for the upgrading of the EagleEye monitoring product, the Group has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with a world-renowned provider of mainstream products, and has commenced the integration and upgrading work on a full scale. It is predicted that the Group can derive considerable effectiveness from the market in the next three years. Besides, the Group has also launched two strategic projects on a full scale. The success of these two projects will significantly increase the stable income from the Group’s cash flow and its long-term growth. The Group has been paying close attention to the development trend of the international and domestic financial markets and will persist in the guiding principle of: conducting the market survey three years in advance; proceeding with technology research and development two years in advance; entering the market six months in advance so as to ensure that new products of the Group can be launched to the market on a sustained basis.
While increasing income sources, the Group has stepped up its efforts in implementing the cost reduction plan and further increasing the soundness and actual effectiveness of the risk monitoring mechanism.
Acknowledgment
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my gratitude to all the shareholders who have been rendering their support to the Group, and all the staff have been so dedicated and have been working so hard. In addition, I would also like to express my sincere thanks to the customers, cooperation partners, suppliers and bankers for their confidence and trust in the Group.

Management Discussion and Analysis
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Group is principally engaged in the development and sales of information and network technologies and services to the finncial industry in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
For the year ended 31 December 2005 (“the financial year”), the Group recorded a total turnover of approximately RMB11,276,000, representing a decrease of 72% as compared to last year (last year turnover were approximately RMB40,303,000).
Turnover of the Group comprises of:
| Sales of software Sales of hardware Maintenace income |
Turnover 2005 2004 RMB’000 RMB’000 5,253 9,619 2,950 17,062 3,073 13,622 11,276 40,303 |
Turnover 2005 2004 RMB’000 RMB’000 5,253 9,619 2,950 17,062 3,073 13,622 11,276 40,303 |
|---|---|---|
| 40,303 |
Decrease in turnover ws primarily attributable to the fact that sales of the Group’s original banking peripheral and noncore products, which generated profits in the earlier period but ceased to generate any profits in recent years, has been suspended in 2005. Also, with a change in the market sales model for the Group’s POS machine business, which has been operated for many years, banks now place orders directly with the manufactures. Finally, the EagleEye monitoring product which the Group has successfully developed in 2004, because of the need to upgrade the product to the combined version for headquarters, the Group has not taken the initiative to increase sales of the original version in the market. Given the aforesaid three reasons, the Group saw a significant reduction in sales in 2005.
The Group recorded also a loss attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB37,221,000 for the financial year, a significant increase in loss as compared to last year (net loss for last year was approximately RMB2,346,000).
Decrease in turnover mentioned above is one of the factors leading to the loss increase, as most administrative cost are fixed in nature and will reamin unchanged even thought turnover changed significantly. Secondly, decrease in other operating income from RMB7,071,000 of last year to RMB4,372,000 of this year also attributable to the loss increase. Such other operating income decrease is primarily due to decrease in subsidiary income from PRC government. Finally, the provision of obsolete inventories of approximately RMB3,569,000 and impairment loss on development cost and other intangible assets of approximately RMB2,938,000 is another reason leading to the increase in group’s loss.
In order to improve the financial situation, The Group has adopted various measures to reduce cost and expenses. They include the reduction of manpower, strict control of expenses and the reduction of inventories held. With the rpoducts of our group become more mature in the market and the effective cost control, we expect that financial results of the group will be improved in the coming year.

The maximum number of shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Scheme shall not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. After the listing of the shares on GEM, the total number of shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options to be granted under the Scheme and any other schemes must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares in issue upon completion of placing, capitalisation issue and say other shares to be issued upon the exercise of the over-allotment option in connection with the listing of the shares on GEM. According to the Scheme, the total number of shares available for issue as at 31 December 2005 is 60,300,000 shares.
The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon the exercise of options granted and to be granted to each Participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12 months period up to the date of grant must not exceed 1% of the shares in issue at the date of grant.
The subscription shall be a price determined by the board of directors at its absolute discretion and shall not be less than the higher of the closing price of the share on the date of grant of the option and the average closing price of the shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option.
Options granted shall be deemed to be accepted upon receipt of the acceptance of offer letter from the grantee within 28 days from the offer date, together with a remittance in favour of the Company of HK$1 by way of consideration for the grant.
An option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Scheme at any time during a period notified by the board to each grantee but may not be exercised after the expiry of 10 years from the date of grant.
On 8 April 2002 the Company granted 60,230,000 options to subscribe for shares in the Company under the Scheme at an exercise price of HK$0.614 per share to 163 employees (including three executive directors) of the Group.

The directors consider it inappropriate to value the options as a number of factors critical for the valuation cannot be determined accurately. Any valuation of the options based on various speculative assumptions would be meaningless and misleading. Therefore the directors believe that the cost for disclosing the value of options do not justify for the benefits it provides.

The intangible asset with carrying value of RMB 6,119,000 at 31 December 2005 as detailed in note 14 to the financial statements represents development cost and software for the provision of certain new software products for clients of the Group.

Because of the significance of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraphs, any adjustments to the figures would have consequential effects on the net assets of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2005 and the net loss and of the Group for the year then ended.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM. Except as otherwise stated, the accompanying financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
Owing to the fact that the Group principally operates in the PRC and its business activities are principally transacted and denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the financial statements are prepared in RMB.
b) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2005. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control of the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities is transferred to the Group and ceased to be consolidated from the date on which such control is transferred out of the Group.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including intercompany profits and unrealised profits and losses, are eliminated on combination. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
c) TURNOVER AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
Turnover represents revenue from sale of computer software and hardware, and revenue from post contract customer services, mainly maintenance income, after excluding applicable business tax and value added tax (“VAT”).
Provided it is probable that the economic benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue from sale of computer software is recognised on the following bases:
-
i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
-
ii) delivery has occurred or service has been performed;
-
iii) the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable; and
-
iv) collectibility is probable.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
c) TURNOVER AND REVENUE RECOGNITION (Cont’d)
Revenue from sale of computer hardware is recognised on the transfer of risk and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and the title has passed.
Maintenance revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis over the period of the contract.
Interest income from bank deposits is recognised on a time proportion basis that, taking into account the original amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
The subsidies from the PRC government or other organisations are recognised when the related technical services projects on software and hardware have been completed.
Deferred income is recognised as income when the respective technical services projects on software and hardware have been completed.
d) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except where the product or process is clearly defined and the costs attributable to the product or process can be separately identified and measured reliably; is technically feasible; the company intends to produce and market, or use, the product or process; the existence of a market for the product or process or, if it is to be used internally rather than sold, its usefulness to the company, can be demonstrated; and adequate resources exist, or their availability can be demonstrated, to complete the project and market or use the product or process.
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (see note 3(i)) and impairment losses (see note 3(j)). Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
e) SOFTWARE
The cost of acquisition of new software is capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if the cost is not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (see note 3(i)) and impairment losses (see note 3(j)).

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
f) GOODWILL
Goodwill acquired in a business combination represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the net fair value of the net assets of subsidiaries acquired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is stated at cost less any impairment losses (see Note 3(j)).
Negative goodwill acquired in a business combination represents the excess of the net fair value of the net assets of subsidiaries acquired over the purchase consideration. The excess of the cost of business combination is recognised immediately in profit or loss after reassessment.
g) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. In situations where it is probable that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalised as an additional cost of the asset.
Other properties are interests in land and buildings other than investment properties and are stated at valuation. Independent valuations are performed every year. In the intervening years, the directors review the carrying amount of the other properties and adjustment is made where there has been a material change. Increases in valuation are credited to the other properties revaluation reserve. Decreases in valuation are first set off against increases on earlier valuations in respect of the same property and are thereafter debited to operating profit.
Major costs incurred in restoring property, plant and equipment to their normal working condition are charged to the income statement. Improvements are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives to the company.
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment other than investment properties is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in the income statement. Any revaluation reserve balance remaining attributable to the relevant asset is transferred to retained earnings and is shown as a movement in reserves.

h) OPERATING LEASES
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals receivables/payables under such operating leases are accounted for in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the periods of the respective lease. Contingent rentals payables are written off as an expense of the accounting period in which they are incurred.
i) AMORTISATION AND DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is not provided for freehold land. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less accumulated impairment loss over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, after taking into account its estimated residue value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
|---|---|
| Computer and related equipment | 5 years |
| Other office equipment | 5 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 years |
Amortisation of intangible assets is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:
| Development costs | 3 | - 5 years |
|---|---|---|
| Software | 5 | years |
j) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
-
property, plant and equipment;
-
investments in subsidiaries;
-
intangible assets; and
-
positive goodwill (whether taken initially to reserves or recognised as an asset).
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For intangible assets that are not yet available for use, or are amortised over more than 20 years from the date when the asset is available for use or goodwill that is amortised over 20 years from initial recognition, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
j) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS (Cont’d)
i) Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price 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 time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
ii) Reversals of impairment losses
In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is reversed only if the loss was caused by a specific external event of an exceptional nature that is not expected to recur, and the increase in recoverable amount relates clearly to the reversal of the effect of that specific event.
A reversal of impairment losses is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statement in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
k) SUBSIDIARIES
A subsidiary is a company in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than half of its voting power or issued share capital or controls the composition of its board of directors. Subsidiaries are considered to be controlled if the company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.
In the Company’s financial statements, interests in subsidiaries are stated at cost less identified impairment loss. An assessment of interests in subsidiaries is performed when there is an indication that the asset has been impaired or the impairment losses recognised in prior years no longer exist. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for to the extent of dividends received and receivable.

l) TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables, which generally have terms of about 60 – 90 days, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Allowances for bad and doubtful debts
The policy for allowance of bad and doubtful debts of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Prepayments, deposits and other receivables are recognised and carried at cost less allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
m) INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after provision for obsolete items. Cost, calculated on the weighted average basis, comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

n) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash represents cash on hand and deposits with banks which are repayable on demand.
Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less of maturity when acquired. Cash equivalents include investments and advances denominated in foreign currencies provided that they fulfil the above criteria.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash equivalents would also include cash, bank balances maturing within three months or less, bank overdrafts and advances from banks repayable within three months or less from the date of the advance.
o) TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Liabilities for trade and other payables which are normally settled on terms of about 60 to 90 days are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group.
p) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the company or group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
q) GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.

r) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, other receivable and payable, loans, and balances with related parties. The accounting policies on recognition and measurement of these items are disclosed in the respective accounting policies found in this section.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains, and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
s) CONTINGENCIES
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
t) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The Company and its subsidiaries established in the PRC maintain their books and records in Renminbi (“RMB”). The British Virgin Islands (“BVI”)’s subsidiary maintain their books and records in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). Transactions denominated in other currencies are translated into the reporting currencies at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into the reporting currencies at exchange rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities in other currencies are translated into the reporting currencies at historical rates. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the periods are recognised in the results of operations in the period in which they arise.
On combination, all of the assets and liabilities of the Group companies with reporting currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date; all of the income and expense items of the Group companies with reporting currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the average applicable exchange rates during the year. Exchange differences arising from such translation are dealt with as movements of cumulative translation adjustments.

u) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, leave passage and the cost to the Group of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Provision is made in respect of paid leave entitlement accumulated during the year, which can be carried forward into future periods for compensated absence or payment in lieu if the employee leaves employment.
The Group operates a defined contribution retirement schemes and the regular cost of providing retirement benefits is charged to the income statement over the expected service lives of the members of the scheme on the basis of level percentages of pensionable pay. Variations from regular cost arising from triennial actuarial valuations are allocated to the income statement over the expected remaining service lives of the members.
Contributions to Mandatory Provident Funds as required under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Ordinance are charged to the income statement when incurred.
v) BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except when they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use in which case they are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. Borrowing costs are capitalised at the weighted average cost of the related borrowings until the asset is ready for its intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded. All other borrowing costs are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.
w) INCOME TAX
-
i) Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in reserves, in which case they are recognised in reserves.
-
ii) Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

w) INCOME TAX (Cont’d)
-
iii) The Group provide for income tax on the basis of their profit for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes.
-
iv) Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the tax bases respectively. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets/liabilities is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised.
- v) Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities if, and only if, the Group and the Company has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities. The principle of offsetting usually applies to income tax levied by the same tax authority on same taxable entity.
x) RELATED PARTIES
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.
y) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
z) SEGMENT REPORTING
The segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risk and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

a) Overseas income tax
The company is incorporated in Bermuda and is exempt from taxation in Bermuda until 28 March 2016. The Company’s subsidiary established in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) is incorporated under the International Business Companies Acts of the BVI and, accordingly, is exempt from payment of BVI income taxes.
b) Hong Kong profits tax
No Hong Kong profits tax was provided as the Group had no assessable profit arising in or derived from Hong Kong.
c) PRC enterprise income tax
As foreign investment enterprises that incorporated in the Advanced Technology Industry Development Area in Hangzhou City and Zhuhai City are entitled to full exemption from income tax for two years with effect from its first profitable year after offsetting prior year’s losses and a 50% reduction in income tax for the following three years thereafter. Foreign investment enterprises are also exempted from income tax in years with financial loss.
The reconciliation of statutory tax rate to effective tax rate is as follows:

10. NET LOSS FROM ORDINARY ACTIVITIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS
The net loss from ordinary activities attributable to shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2005 dealt with in the financial statements of the Company was RMB5,190,000 (2004: RMB2,000,000).
11. DIVIDENDS
During the year ended 31 December 2005, RMB nil dividend was declared and paid (2004: RMB nil).
12. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the consolidated net loss for the year attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB37,221,000 (2004: RMB2,346,000) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year of 603,000,000 shares (2004: 603,000,000 shares).
No diluted loss per share was presented as the exercise of share options would have an anti-dilutive effect during the year.
13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group conducts its business in the PRC within one business segment – the business of development, manufacture and sale of software products, sale of related hardware products and provision of software-related technical services.

PRC laws and regulations require wholly foreign-owned enterprises to provide for certain statutory funds, namely, reserve fund and staff and worker’s bonus and welfare fund, which are appropriated from net profit after tax (based on the local statutory accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC) but before dividend distribution. The subsidiaries are required to allocate at least 10% of their net profit to the reserve fund until the balance of such fund has reached 50% of their respective registered capital. Appropriation to the staff and workers’ bonus and welfare fund is at the discretion of the directors of such subsidiaries. The reserve fund can only be used, upon approval by the relevant authority, to offset accumulated losses or increase capital. The staff and workers’ bonus and welfare fund can only be used for special bonuses or collective welfare of the employees of the individual subsidiary, and assets acquired through this fund shall not be taken as the Group’s assets. At 31 December 2005, the reserve funds amounted to approximately RMB3,613,000 (2004: RMB3,613,000). Under IFRS, appropriations to the staff and workers’ bonus and welfare fund have been included as expenses and the balance of the fund as a liability of the Group.

At 31 December 2005, the Company’s reserves available for distribution to shareholders amounted to approximately RMB34,783,000 (2004: RMB41,092,000), computed in accordance with the Companies Acts and the Company’s articles of association.

34. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
With a review of financial statements presentation, certain items in the financial statements were reclassified, which would result in a more appropriate presentation of events or transactions. Accordingly, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
35. ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY
The directors regard Goldcorp Industrial Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, as the ultimate holding company, which is owned by Mr. Hung Yung Lai and Ms. Li Kei Ling.
36. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payable, other receivable and payable, borrowings and balances with related parties approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Group did not enter into any foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against fluctuations.
37. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
a) Credit Risk
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and due from related parties, represented the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.
The majority of the Group’s trade receivables related to sale of software and hardware to and maintenance service income from third party customers. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral on trade receivables. The Group maintains a provision for doubtful debts. The management of the Group consider that, under the Group’s accounting policy for trade receivable, the year end provision for doubtful debts is adequate and not excessive, and actual losses have been within management’s expectation.

37. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (Cont’d)
b) Currency Risk
Substantially all of the revenue-generating operations of the Group are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On 1 January 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted by the People’s Bank of China. However, the unification of the exchange rate does not imply convertibility of RMB into Hong Kong dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
c) Liquidity Risk
The Group policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
