Chairman’s Statement

Chairman’s Statement
2011 was a year of exceptional excellence for Sinomedia, and the year of development of its different business sectors in the vertical media industry chain. The Group has made remarkable progress with the development on its four core businesses, namely media resources management, integrated brand communication services, creative production of advertisement and content, and new media investment and integration. The Group has thus moved closer to the strategic goal of becoming “the leading media corporation with video media management as its core business”.
While continuing to consolidate its strength in media resource management notably with China Central Television Station (“CCTV”) as the core platform, the Group also focuses on enhancing the integrated band communication service, and increasing its investments in upstream channels, content and technological platforms. Meanwhile, the Group speeds up the international communications of clients’ brands by cooperating with international media in agency business.
Media resource management is currently the core business which contributes the most revenue of the Group. During the year, the Group managed advertising time resources of programmes from channels including CCTV-1 (General)/CCTV-News (Chinese), CCTV-2 (Finance), CCTV-4 (Chinese International, including Europe and US), CCTV-5 (Sports), CCTV-7 (Military and Agriculture) and CCTV-NEWS (English). This allows the fl exibility in the creative presentation of ideas, and opens up a wider demographic of the client.
The Group also offers a full range of campaign strategy and execution services that target our clients’ different brand communication needs. A comprehensive advertising procurement system that covers TV, the Internet and mobile Internet, radio, print and outdoor media resources is in place. During the year, the Group was appointed by numerous national and largescale corporations to be their media procurement agent. At the 2012 CCTV Prime Time Resources Bidding, by adopting highly cost-effective media strategies, the Group purchased on behalf of its clients advertising resources that doubled in value from the previous year. The above achievements symbolise that the Group’s integrated brand communication services have already established and widely recognised by the clients’ market.
The Group conquered the geographic limitation during the year under review, entered into cooperation agreements with MediaCorp from Singapore, and CNBC, the fi nancial TV station from the United States of America, to become their business partner, expanding steadily into the international media domain. In line with the strategy of business globalisation, the Group has formally established its subsidiary in Hong Kong to provide advertising services to Hong Kong and overseas clients to promote their corporate and product brands in the China market. The Group will continue its efforts in gaining more national and international media resources, in order to provide our clients with more vivid and diverse communication schemes.
The group has actively promoted the business segment of creative production of advertisement and content in 2011. During the year under review, revenue from this business signifi cantly increased and plenty of notable awards were won, both globally and domestically. In addition, the Group produced creative microfi lms which are applicable for interactive new media communications, providing clients with creative and abundant communication videos. The nationwide public service advertising broadcast network further expanded to cover a total of 150 regional television channels.
The Group successively completed key strategic investments, including the mobile video operators 100TV and CNLive, and a tourism portal www.lotour.com. Besides, preparation for the establishment of the agricultural portal www.wgool.com was kicked off in the second half of the year. The website was offi cially online in early 2012, aiming to integrate Internet and mobile terminals and become the largest and the most authoritative agricultural website for the vast Chinese rural users and agriculture-related enterprises, to provide various product information and a promotion platform.
In 2011, the growth of China’s economy experienced a steady slowdown, while the advertising market still retained a higher growth rate than that of the overall economy. The Group will closely monitor the current uncertainties of the decelerating economic growth and the industry development, while still remains cautiously positive to the outlook of whole year of 2012. We believe that under the rapid integration of the media industry, the ability to effectively collaborate television, the Internet and mobile Internet platforms and to create synergy among the various links of the industry value chain, is the key to success — and is also the long-term goal of the Group. With the Group’s well-established four core businesses, we will continue to consolidate its unique strengths to gradually increase the synergy and ensure the medium and long-term sustainable development of the Group. In order to facilitate the operational system of the Group, we will continuously improve our internal organisational structure, enhance the talent introduction and training system, and provide competitive remuneration packages for our staffs, to help prepare the Group, in respect of its human resources needs, for rapid development.
Last but not least, on behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to our shareholders, clients and commercial partners for their unyielding trust and support, and to our management team and staffs for their professionalism and contribution. Along with the ongoing development of China’s economy and the rapid growth of the media industry in the mainland, we will continue to strive for excellence and greater returns for our shareholders.

All-round Development in Business Segments
Maintaining its Edges in Media Resources
ABOUT THE GROUP
Since 2011, according to the strategic goals of becoming “the leading media corporation with video media management as its core business” set out by the Board of Directors, the Group has made remarkable progress on developing four core businesses, namely, “the media resources management, integrated brand communication services, creative production of advertisement and content, and new media investment and integration”.
While continues to consolidate its notable advantage on China Central Television Station (“CCTV”) for the core media resource management, the Group focuses on the increase of its investments in upstream channels, content and technological platforms, including making active expansion in the fi eld of mobile video and preparation for building agricultural new media platform. Meanwhile, the Group speeds up the international communications of clients’ brands and the cooperation with international media, and is actively engaged in video management service and content production including that of microfi lms.
With regard to internal management, the Group continues to adjust its organisational structure to adapt for group management, and has improved its systems of the recruitment, promotion and training of staff so as to ensure that human resource supply can keep up with the sustained rapid expansion of the Group, thereby having taken the fi rst strategic step to upgrade the Group from a media advertising company to a media corporation.
BUSINESS REVIEW
I. Media Resources Management
The Group enjoys notable advantages in the media resources management. It is one of the leading operators for CCTV in terms of the long partnership, the abundance of underwriting resources, the form of cooperation and the scale of operations, and has been awarded one of the “CCTV’s Top Ten Advertising Agencies” for consecutive years.
During the year under review, the Group renewed its current exclusive underwriting contracts and acquired additional exclusive underwriting rights, which consolidated and strengthened the Group’s position as a leading underwriter of CCTV’s programme advertisements. The Group had approximately 41,209 minutes of advertising time resources for a total of 46 programmes on channels including CCTV-1 (General)/CCTV-News (Chinese), CCTV-2 (Finance), CCTV-4 (Chinese International, including Europe and US), CCTV-5 (Sports), CCTV-7 (Military and Agriculture) and CCTV-NEWS (English). We have advertising resources of the “Night News (晚間新聞)” on CCTV-1 (General), “News 30’ (新聞30分)” joint broadcast on CCTV-1 (General)/CCTV-News (Chinese), “Make More Money” (生財有道) on CCTV-2 (Finance), “China News (中國新聞)”, “Across the Strait (海峽兩岸)”, “AllDay Package (全天時段套)”, “Exposition of Chinese Culture Relics (國寶檔案)” and “China Showbiz (中國文 藝)” on CCTV-4 (Chinese International, including Europe and US), “Weather Forecast” during “Sports News” programmes on CCTV-5 (Sports), seven programmes including “Zhi Fu Jing (致富經)”, “Focus on the Three Agricultural Issues (聚焦三農)” and “Daily Agricultural News (每日農經)” on CCTV-7 (Military and Agriculture), and all programmes on CCTV-NEWS (English).

II. Integrated Brand Communication Services
In addition to recommending advertisement placement on our exclusive underwritten media resources, the Group also offers a full range of campaign strategy and execution services that target our clients’ different brand communication needs. A comprehensive advertising procurement system that covers TV, the Internet and mobile Internet, radio, print and outdoor media is in place. This system includes brand positioning, media strategy and procurement execution.
During the year under review, the Group successively acquired the businesses of omni-media procurement agency services of China Life Insurance (Group) Company, Postal Savings Bank of China and The People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Limited in the year of 2011 through 2012. Once again, the Group delivered impressive results in the 2012 CCTV Prime Time Resources Bidding. By adopting highly cost effective media strategies, it purchased on behalf of its clients advertising resources worth over RMB1.4 billion, which was more than double of 2011. The above achievements symbolise that the Group’s integrated brand communication services have already established and are widely recognised by the market.
Additionally, the Group is the fi rst domestic company in the industry to strategically expand into the international media domain. In 2011, we entered into cooperation agreements with MediaCorp from Singapore and CNBC, the world’s largest fi nancial TV station, from the United States of America, becoming their master advertising agent and exclusive advertising sales representative respectively in Mainland China. Expansion into the international media domain at the right time and pace not only demonstrates the Group’s strategic development towards internationalisation, but also enables Chinese clients to develop global business with effective brand and advertising exposure in overseas markets through our abundant and high quality domestic and international media resources. This also allows the Group to gain fi rsthand experience from international communication services, winning the initiative for further development.
In line with the strategy of business globalisation, the Group has formally established its subsidiary in Hong Kong in September 2011. Currently, the Hong Kong subsidiary is mainly engaged in providing Hong Kong and overseas clients with advertising services of the Group’s exclusive media resources which would help Hong Kong and offshore clients promote their corporate and product brands in Chinese market through the strongest media platform in the mainland. The Group is one of the few domestic advertising agencies that have overseas sales offi ces. We consider the establishment of the Hong Kong subsidiary as an important strategic deployment for the gradual expansion of the Group’s overseas business.
III. Creative Production of Advertisement and Content
1. Creative production services for commercial advertisements and microfi lms
- Since establishment, the Group has produced numerous cases of successful advertisements. We have extensive execution experience in campaign strategy, brand creativity, visual design and fi lming of advertisements and won several prestigious awards both domestically and internationally. At the same time, the Group’s client volume and contract amounts had also reached a record high. During the year under review, the Group acquired new business from Everbright Bank to provide annual service of creative advertisement and graphic design, as well as the domestic luxury brand “Royal Ruyi” to provide creative production of its image fi lm.
Annual Report 2011 13
Management Discussion and Analysis
In addition, the Group produced several microfi lms applicable for interactive new media communications for clients. This particular service provides clients with creative production service for videos of longer duration and more vivid and rich content, so as to satisfy consumers’ changing habit of watching video online and on mobile Internet.
2. Creative production and syndication of public service advertisements
The Group’s wholly owned subsidiary Beijing Taihe Ruishi Culture and Media Company Limited is the only operator in China that has a nationwide public service advertising broadcast network of 150 regional television channels which not only helps SinoMedia to increase its infl uence in the creative production sector, but also supplements the Group’s existing advertising media resources.
With the standardisation of the broadcasting of domestic commercial TV advertisements by the State Administration of Radio Film and Television, TV media increased the promotion of public service advertisements and the trend of using public service advertisements for building corporate brands become more prominent. Hence, the Group expects that through the independent creativity, fi lming and production of public service advertisements and their syndication to a wide range of regional television channels, this platform will attract more interest of clients, bringing in more sponsorship revenue from corporate clients for the Group.
3. Video dynamic management service
During the year under review, the Group set up the only media asset management system in advertising industry to provide clients with dynamic management services of gathering, collating, editing and the application of video information. It would help clients manage their video advertising more effectively and systematically. At the same time, the Group can signifi cantly improve the effi ciency of its production team which helps to improve the quality of video production service. This system is currently in service and enquiries are also received from interested clients.
IV. New Media Investment and Integration
The Group strongly believes that the increase in Internet population and the development of mobile smart terminals, the Internet, especially mobile Internet, will accelerate the change in the media industry and promote the consolidation and development of various media in the next decade. During this process, content production with creativity and communications capacity will be the core competitiveness of the media. Accordingly, during its process of developing into a leading media corporation in China, the Group will continue to pay particular attention to the development of content platforms in the new media and, leveraging on its own edges, it will focus on the development of video-related business.
In 2011, several key strategic investments were made or completed, including the investments in www.lotour.com, FoneNet Inc. (“100TV”) and Beijing Zhongtoushixun Cultural Media Co., Ltd. (“Zhongtoushixun”), and the preparation for the establishment of the agricultural Internet portal www.wgool.com was started off in the second half of the year. The details are as follows:
1. 100TV
With the investment in 100TV completed in July 2011, the Group became the third largest shareholder of 100TV and appointed a member with preferred voting rights to join its board of directors. 100TV is one of the largest mobile TV platforms and service providers in China, focusing on the development of

mobile TV technology and video players, and has obtained business licenses for telecommunications and information services and value-added telecommunications services.
2. CNLive
The Group’s acquisition of 5% stake in Zhongtoushixun was completed in July 2011. With the China Internet Information Center holding the controlling stake, Zhongtoushixun is a mobile TV operator that is responsible for the production of audio and visual content for CNLive’s mobile TV platform, as well as mobile TV services through the mobile communication network. The company also provides video services to its subscribers through the Internet.
3. www.lotour.com
In December 2010, the Group entered into an agreement with Beijing Lotour Internet Technology Co., Ltd. to establish a joint venture for the exclusive operation of www.lotour.com, the largest Internet portal for the travel industry. During the year under review, the Group successfully completed its investment in this joint venture.
4. www.wgool.com
In August 2011, the Group started to build the Internet portal www.wgool.com which aims to becoming the largest and the most authoritative agricultural website in China. This website has been offi cially online in early 2012. This project demonstrates the Group’s determination to develop its new media investment and integration business, and represents a critical initiative for the Group to expand its business to upstream content production of the media value chain and to establish a complete and three-dimensional media operation system. Moreover, it shows that the Group is optimistic towards the unprecedented opportunities arising from the informationalised development in the Chinese agriculture and the brand development of agricultural products.
During the year under review, the above projects as a whole did not yet make contribution to the profi t of the Group. The Group expects to nurture the market with the project partners and develop the Group’s integration and operation capability in the related new media sector in the next one to two years. Given the promising outlook of the aforementioned projects and our good expectation on the increasing synergy of our operations in the future, the Group believes that these sectors will soon become new revenue drivers of the Group after one to two years, and will play a positive role in the Group’s growth in the long run.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue and Profi t Attributable to the Equity Shareholders of the Company
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the Group recorded a revenue of RMB1,617,800 thousand, representing a 18% increase from RMB1,373,173 thousand recorded in 2010. The increase of the revenue was mainly attributable to (1) the increase of the average selling prices and the utilisation rates of the advertising time of the key programmes of the Group’s core business, media resources management; (2) the continuous expansion of the scale of operation
Annual Report 2011 15
Management Discussion and Analysis
of the integrated brand communication services; and (3) the increase of the revenue of creative production of advertisement and content business driven by its continuously improving standard of work.
Details of the revenue are as follows:
-
I. Before the deduction for sales taxes and surcharges, revenue recorded from the media resources management was RMB1,605,435 thousand, up 16% from RMB1,378,316 thousand last year. The sustained growth of revenue from this business was attributable to the increase in the advertising time of exclusive underwritten resources sold, as compared with the last year. The Group managed to promote sales by enhancing sales efforts, offering a more diversifi ed product portfolio and strengthening regional sales and promotional initiatives. Besides, the Group continued to enhance our professional services provided for clients.
-
II. Before the deduction for sales taxes and surcharges, turnover recorded from the integrated brand communication services was RMB849,943 thousand, up 54% from RMB552,619 thousand year-on-year. Under the International Accounting Standards, the Group’s revenue shall be recognised on a net basis with the related procurement costs deducted from the turnover if the Group procures media resources in the capacity of an agency for clients, and pursuant to which, revenue from the business was RMB18,613 thousand, signifi cantly increased 88% from RMB9,875 thousand last year. The increase was mainly due to the fact that the Group enhanced its promotion efforts and increased resource allocation to this business, thereby increasingly expanding the scale of this business and gaining higher recognition from clients.
-
III. Before the deduction for sales taxes and surcharges, revenue from creative production of advertisement and content was RMB39,255 thousand, up 113% from RMB18,467 thousand last year. This revenue included the revenue from production services for commercial advertising and revenue from the production and distribution of advertisements by the nationwide public service advertising broadcast network.
-
The Group provided full range of high-quality creative production of advertisement and content services for its clients. This year, the Group successfully won several large commercial advertisement production projects through creative proposals and competitive presentation, and achieved a signifi cant increase in client volume and contract amounts compared with the last year.
-
The nationwide public service advertising broadcast network, which comprises numerous local TV stations, continued to maintain a favorable growth momentum after dedicated nurturing, and recorded an increase of revenue compared with the last year. The Group will continue to provide clients with opportunities to build their brands and corporate image on social responsibility at a cost lower than that of ordinary television commercials, with an aim to achieving the Group’s goal of expanding to the upstream of the media value chain and developing innovative business models.
As the revenue recorded from all the above businesses grew signifi cantly, while the cost of services and operating expenses were maintained at reasonable levels, the profi t attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011 rose to RMB238,945 thousand, representing a signifi cant increase by 51% from RMB158,064 thousand year-on-year.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the Group’s overall operating expenses were RMB156,126 thousand, increased RMB19,813 thousand year-on-year, and accounted for 9.7% of the Group’s revenue (year ended 31 December 2010: 9.9%).
16 SinoMedia Holding Limited
The operating expenses include the followings:
-
I. Selling and marketing expenses amounted to RMB66,778 thousand, showing a slight decrease from RMB67,493 thousand last year, and accounted for 4.1% of the Group’s revenue (year ended 31 December 2010: 4.9%). The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was mainly due to the fact that: (1) following the sharp increase in revenue, performance-based payroll of sales personnel rose by approximately RMB3,001 thousand year-on-year; (2) With the Group’s measures on further control over expenses showing effect and the agency for some of the Group’s exclusive underwritten TV programs approaching the maturity phase of their product life cycles, promotion and marketing expenses for activities including promotion fairs, market research and industry analyses decreased by approximately RMB5,874 thousand compared with the last year.
-
II. General and administration expenses amounted to RMB89,348 thousand, representing an increase of RMB20,528 thousand from the last year (year ended 31 December 2010: RMB68,820 thousand). The increase of the general and administration expenses was mainly due to:
-
In line with business expansion, additional offi ce space and offi ce equipment were needed. Lease and property management fees, offi ce expenses and depreciation increased by approximately RMB10,175 thousand compared with the last year.
-
Provision for bad and doubtful debts and impairment on long-term investment for the year increased by approximately RMB4,892 thousand compared with the last year. Among them, provision for bad and doubtful debts signifi cantly decreased by RMB14,060 thousand compared to last year under strict control over delayed payments for advertisements and our extra effort in managing the recovery of the receivables; but due to the drastic changes in market environment, for prudence and having taken into consideration of the evaluation results of the recoverability analysis, the Group made an one-off full impairment on an equity investment in a group purchase website for the year, which amounted to RMB18,952 thousand.
Before provision for bad and doubtful debts and impairment loss on long-term investment, general and administration expenses amounted to RMB71,212 thousand, representing 4.4% of the Group’s revenue (year ended 31 December 2010: 4.0%). Despite the continuous expansion of the scale of the Group’s operation, the amount of expenses as a percentage of the Group’s revenue still remained at a relatively low level, which indicated that the Group maintained a satisfactory control over the general and administration expenses.
Signifi cant Investments and Acquisitions
Major investments and acquisitions took place during the year are as follows:
- I. The Group has completed the strategic equity investment in www.lotour.com, 100TV and CNLive respectively. The details are set out in section headed “New media investment and integration” of Business Review.

II. In July 2011, the Group entered an agreement with Life Media Limited acquiring the minority interest of Life Media Limited and began business cooperation with it.

Currently, it is one of the leading brands in the highly competitive group purchase market in China.
-
III. In September 2011, the Group entered into a framework agreement with an independent third party to acquire a building for offi ce premises purposes, located at the 12 Dongdaqiao Road, Chaoyang District which is at the heart of Beijing, at a consideration of RMB258 million.
To facilitate future development of the Group, the Group sees the need of consolidating current offi ce locations of various subsidiaries and departments and preparing offi ce for the operation of new projects. The acquisition will enhance the Group’s general operation effi ciency and increase the edges of overall internal coordination.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
During the year under review, the Group maintained adequate working capital and a strong fi nancial position.
As at 31 December 2011, the Group’s cash and bank balances amounted to RMB913,179 thousand (as at 31 December 2010: RMB795,791 thousand), up 15% compared to the last year, of which 97% was denominated in Renminbi and 3% in US dollar and other currencies.
The Group strengthened liquidity management to maintain adequate cash fl ows. During the year under review, the net cash infl ow from operating activities amounted to RMB526,983 thousand (year ended 31 December 2010: RMB504,392 thousand). The Group reinforced the management of receivables and imposed strict control over delayed payments for advertisements. As a result, while the Group’s revenue increased signifi cantly year-on-year, its receivables remained at a low level. As at the end of the year, the Group’s outstanding accounts receivables (excluding notes receivables) after provision for bad and doubtful debts amounted to RMB74,811 thousand.
As at 31 December 2011, the Group’s total assets amounted to RMB1,851,158 thousand, which were fi nanced by equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB1,018,875 thousand, and non-controlling interests of RMB6,359 thousand.

The majority of the turnover, expenses and capital investments of the Group were denominated in RMB.
Human Resources

We implement a remuneration policy that is competitive in the industry, and pay commissions to our sales people and discretionary bonuses to our other employees in view of the performance of the Group and individual employees. In order to align the interests of employees with those of shareholders, share options were granted to employees under the Company’s share option schemes. Share options that have been granted and remained unexercised as at the end of the year amounted to 36,780,000 units. We also continued to provide employees with benefi ts like insurance, medical check-ups and various training courses with a view to maintaining the Group’s competitiveness.

INDUSTRY AND GROUP OUTLOOK
In 2011, China’s economy growth was slowing down steadily. The Group considers that it is the expected outcome of PRC government curbing over-investment and restructuring industry. On the contrary, the news of “the once rapidly rising Consumer Price Index (CPI) turned around in the fourth quarter of 2011” and “the government decided to offer preferential treatment on corporate income tax for small and medium-sized enterprises” laid a foundation for the strong recovery of the economy in the second half of 2012. As to the industry, according to the latest release of China’s advertising spending data compiled by an authoritative research institution, CTR Marketing Research, the total income of China’s advertising market (measured by standard rate card) grew by 13% in 2011, higher than the 9.2% growth rate of China’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the year. Therefore, the Group will closely monitor the current uncertainties of the decreasing economic growth and the industry development, while still remains cautiously positive to the outlook of whole year of 2012.
We consider that driven by capital, technology and policy, consolidation in the industry will be further accelerated and the “Matthew effect” will appear among media and advertising companies. Whoever integrates various media platforms of television, the Internet and mobile Internet better and coordinates the various sectors of the industry value chain will continue to lead the race.
The “opinions on further strengthening the management of television programmes of general satellite channels” (commonly called “cutback on TV entertainment”) and the “notice of further strengthening the management of the advertisement broadcasting on radio and television” (commonly called “cutback on TV commercials”) issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television have been put into effect, which would slow down the migration of television audience to the Internet media, and also shrink the TV advertisement resources of entertainment shows and TV dramas, resulting in the improvement of the viewing experience of television audience. Hence, the Group fi rmly believes that having news programmes as its core, the media resources management business that accounts for the majority of the Group’s businesses will continue to grow consistently and rapidly.
However, the rapid increase in the number of users of new media will cause a profound change in media industry. According to the “29th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China” published by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), as of the end of December 2011, China had a total of over 500 million Internet users, including 325 million online video users and 356 million mobile Internet users. The Group expects that the increasing smartphone population in China will trigger a wave of innovative developments just like that happened on desktop computers.
Leveraging on its competitive edges and upholding the principle of “video media operation as its core”, the Group will integrate various terminals like television, the Internet and mobile Internet. In particular, we will assure that operation of the agricultural Internet portal, www.wgool.com, will be stable in the fi rst half of 2012, and at the same time we will strive to complete one to two investment projects on video platforms during the year in order to lay a foundation for diversifying source of income and sustainable development of the Group. During the process, the Group will continue to increase its investment on human resources and management to maintain its core competencies.
From the perspective of clients, we reckon that the “one-stop” service concept covering creative and production, advertising strategy and procurement, public relations activity is a general trend. Therefore, we will accelerate our cooperation with overseas media to cater to the increasing communication needs of domestic brands, and at the same time get in touch with clients proactively in various aspects of the above so as to satisfy clients’ multiple demands.
We believe that with the continued growth of China’s economy and the opportunities in the vibrant domestic media industry, the Board of Directors, the management and the Group’s entire staff will all aim at realising the mission of becoming a leading media corporation in China and worldwide. With the Group’s concerted efforts and proactive attitude, we will continue to deliver the good investment returns to our shareholders.
Annual Report 2011 19
Signifi cant Progress in Integrated Communication
SinoMedia invested substantially in integrated brand communication for providing “one-stop” integrated brand communication services. In the 2012 CCTV Primetime Advertisement Resources Presale Tender, the total value of sales contracts signed by SinoMedia exceeded RMB1.4 billion, representing an increase of more than 100% over the previous year. It signifi ed SinoMedia’s initial success in the integrated brand communication services and that its extensive experience in this area was widely recognised by the clients’ market. The integrated brand communication services has become another growth segment of the Group.
Global Setting and Integrated Communication
Since 2011, SinoMedia has been steadily promoting the setting for branding communication globalisation by establishing branches overseas and signing cooperation agreement with internationally renowned media magnates in order to provide the best support to both China and overseas clients in branding communication. At present, the Group has already set up cooperation agreements with renowned international media groups such as MediaCorp Pte Ltd (新加坡新傳媒) and CNBC fi nance television channel and (美 國CNBC財經電視台), CTV Golden Bridge International Media (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of SinoMedia, was officially established as a vital division to strategically deploy international business and gradually expand the overseas business of the Group. SinoMedia has thus become the fi rst domestic media operation group mainly acting as an agent for television advertisement that has overseas branches.

These fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards (IASs) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These fi nancial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
The fi nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 16 March 2012.
(b) Basis of measurement
These fi nancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
-
derivative fi nancial instruments are measured at fair value
-
non-derivative fi nancial instruments at fair value through profi t and loss are measured at fair value
The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 4.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company and its overseas subsidiary is HKD and the functional currencies of other entities in the Group are RMB. These fi nancial statements are presented in RMB. All fi nancial information presented in RMB has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.
Annual Report 2011 59
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
(d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have signifi cant effect on the fi nancial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 31.
(e) Changes in accounting policies
The IASB has issued a number of amendments to IFRSs and one new interpretation that are fi rst effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group’s fi nancial statements:
-
IAS 24 (revised 2009), Related party disclosures
-
Improvements to IFRSs (2010)
-
IFRIC 19, Extinguishing fi nancial liabilities with equity instruments
-
Amendments to IFRIC 14, IAS 19 — The limit on a defi ned benefi t asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction — Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
The above amendments and new interpretation have had no material impact on the Group’s fi nancial statements as they were consistent with policies already adopted by the Group, or these changes will fi rst be effective as and when the Group enters into a relevant transaction and there is no requirement to restate the amounts recorded in respect of previous such transactions.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these fi nancial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account.
An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated fi nancial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised profi ts arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Company, and in respect of which the Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the defi nition of a fi nancial liability. For each business combination, the Group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at their proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifi able assets.
Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Noncontrolling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profi t or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the company.
Changes in the Group’s interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and noncontrolling interests within consolidated equity to refl ect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.
Annual Report 2011 61
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
- (i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests (continued)
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profi t or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a fi nancial asset or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.
In the Company’s statement of fi nancial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 3(g)), unless the investment is classifi ed as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classifi ed as held for sale).
- (ii) Investments in equity-accounted investees and jointly controlled entities (equity-accounted investees)
Associates are those entities in which the Group has signifi cant infl uence, but not control, over the fi nancial and operating policies. Signifi cant infl uence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Jointly controlled entities are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic fi nancial and operating decisions.
Investments in equity-accounted investees and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method (equity-accounted investees) and are recognised initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction cost.
The consolidated fi nancial statements include the Group’s share of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that signifi cant infl uence or joint control commences until the date that signifi cant infl uence or joint control ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(b) Foreign currencies
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profi t or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity investments, a fi nancial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, or qualifying cash fl ow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Renminbi at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinfl ationary economies, are translated to Renminbi at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Annual Report 2011 63
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(b) Foreign currencies (continued)
(ii) Foreign operations (continued)
The income and expenses of foreign operations in hyperinfl ationary economies are translated to Renminbi at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Prior to translating the fi nancial statements of foreign operations in hyperinfl ationary economies, their fi nancial statements for the current year are restated to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the local currency. The restatement is based on relevant price indices at the reporting date.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
(c) Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other fi nancial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profi t or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a fi nancial asset when the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash fl ows on the fi nancial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the fi nancial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred fi nancial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
64 SinoMedia Holding Limited
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets (continued)
The Group has the following non-derivative fi nancial assets:
Financial Assets at fair value through profi t or loss
A fi nancial asset is classifi ed as at fair value through profi t or loss if it is classifi ed as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are designated as at fair value through profi t or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profi t or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, which takes into account any dividend income, are recognized in profi t or loss.
Financial assets designated as at fair value through profi t or loss comprise equity securities that otherwise would have been classifi ed as available for sale.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables (see note 22).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are non-derivative fi nancial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classifi ed in any of the above categories of fi nancial assets. Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.

(c) Financial instruments (continued)
-
(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets (continued)
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets (continued)
Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (see note 3(g)(i)) and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments (see note3(b)(i)) are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets comprise equity securities and debt securities.
Investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position at cost less impairment losses (see note 3(g)).
- (ii) Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities
The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other fi nancial liabilities (including liabilities designated as at fair value through profi t or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a fi nancial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
The Group classifi es non-derivative fi nancial liabilities into the other fi nancial liabilities category. Such fi nancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these fi nancial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities comprise trade and other payables.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(iii) Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Purchase of share capital
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity.
(iv) Derivative fi nancial instruments
Derivative fi nancial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At the end of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profi t or loss, except where the derivatives qualify for cash fl ow hedge accounting or hedge the net investment in a foreign operation, in which case recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged.
Derivative fi nancial instruments comprise options, warrants, and other fi nancial liabilities (see note 20).
(d) Property, plant and equipment
- (i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Annual Report 2011 67
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
(i) Recognition and measurement (continued)
Gain and loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within other income/other expenses in profi t or loss.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefi ts embodied within the component will fl ow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profi t or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Signifi cant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years are as follows:
| Buildings | 30 years |
|---|---|
| Fixtures, f ttings, and computer equipment | 3–5 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
68 SinoMedia Holding Limited
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(e) Investment property
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of investment property are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profi t or loss.
(ii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an investment property less its residual value.
Depreciation is recognised in profi t or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of investment property.
The estimated useful live for the current year is as follows:
Buildings 30 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(f) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of
-
(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over
-
(ii) the group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifi able assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.
When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognised immediately in profi t or loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.
Annual Report 2011 69
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(f) Goodwill (continued)
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefi t from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment.
On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profi t or loss on disposal.
(g) Impairment
(i) Non-derivative fi nancial assets
A fi nancial asset not carried at fair value through profi t or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A fi nancial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss events had an impact on the estimated future cash fl ows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that fi nancial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a signifi cant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
(ii) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets
Impairment losses on available-for-sale fi nancial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profi t or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss recognised previously in profi t or loss. Changes in cumulative impairment losses attributable to application of the effective interest method are refl ected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profi t or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income.
70 SinoMedia Holding Limited
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g) Impairment (continued)
(ii) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets (continued)
For unquoted equity securities carried at cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the fi nancial asset and the estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar fi nancial asset where the effect of discounting is material. Impairment losses for equity securities carried at cost are not reversed.
(iii) Non-fi nancial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-fi nancial assets, other than deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash infl ows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash infl ows of other assets or CGU.
Impairment losses are recognised in profi t or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated fi rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(h) Employee benefi ts
(i) Defi ned contribution plans
A defi ned contribution plan is a post-employment benefi t plan under which an entity pays fi xed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defi ned contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefi t expense in profi t or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defi ned contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.
(ii) Short-term employee benefi ts
Short-term employee benefi t obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profi t- sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(iii) Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to refl ect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to refl ect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
72 SinoMedia Holding Limited
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(h) Employee benefi ts (continued)
(iv) Termination benefi ts
Termination benefi ts are recognised as an expense when the Group is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefi ts as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefi ts for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefi ts are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value.
(i) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand.
(j) Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outfl ow of economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash fl ows at a pre-tax rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as fi nance cost.
Where it is not probable that an outfl ow of economic benefi ts will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outfl ow of economic benefi ts is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confi rmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outfl ow of economic benefi ts is remote.
Annual Report 2011 73
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(k) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in the income statement as follows:
(i) Media resources management
Revenue from media resources management is primarily derived from the sale of advertising time owned by the Group. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profi t or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to reports issued by an independent third party with relevant qualifi cation and experience on a monthly basis, which evidence the advertisement actually broadcast.
(ii) Integrated brand communication services
Revenue from integrated brand communication services is primarily derived from commissions received for assisting advertising clients in obtaining advertising time on media platforms, primarily television stations. When the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognised is the net amount of commission made by the Group in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction on a monthly basis. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to service performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed.
(iii) Creative production of advertisement and content
Revenue from creative production of advertisement and content is primarily derived from designing and developing advertisement production. The revenue is recognised when advertisement production is delivered to the customer which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the advertisement production and the related risks and rewards of ownership.
(iv) Rental income from operating leases
Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profi t or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefi ts to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognised in profi t or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivable. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned.
74 SinoMedia Holding Limited
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(l) Government grants
Government grants are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profi t or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the periods necessary to match them with the related expenses. Government grants that become receivable as compensation for expenses already incurred are recognised in profi t or loss as other income of the period in which they become receivable.
(m) Finance income and costs
Finance income comprises interest income on cash deposits in bank and changes in the fair value of fi nancial instruments at fair value through profi t or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profi t or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance costs comprise changes in the expected consideration to be paid for the acquisition of noncontrolling interests.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either fi nance income or fi nance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.
(n) Operating lease charges
Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profi t or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefi ts to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profi t or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confi rmed.
(o) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profi t or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Annual Report 2011 75
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(o) Income tax (continued)
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for fi nancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
-
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profi t or loss;
-
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefi t will be realised.

(p) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profi t or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.

(r) Segment reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the fi nancial statements, are identifi ed from the fi nancial information provided regularly to the group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for fi nancial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

(s) New standards and interpretations not adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated fi nancial statements. None of these is expected to have a signifi cant effect on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group, except for IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2013 consolidated fi nancial statements and could change the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets. The Group does not plan to adopt this standard early and the extent of the impact has not been determined.
4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
(a) Employees share options
The fair value of the employee share options is measured using the binominal lattice model (see note 27).
(b) Derivatives
The fair value of the redemption option and conversion option recorded in other non-current fi nancial assets are measured using equity allocation method.
Where discounted cash fl ow techniques are used, estimated future cash fl ows are based on management’s best estimates and the discount rate is a market related rate for a similar instrument at the end of the reporting period. Where other pricing models are used, inputs are based on market related data at the end of the reporting period.
(c) Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash fl ows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
(d) Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, but including service concession receivables, is estimated at the present value of future cash fl ows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes or when acquired in a business combination.

22. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
(b) Impairment of trade and bills receivables
Impairment losses in respect of trade and bills receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless the Group is satisfi ed that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade and bills receivables directly.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and bills receivables during the year is as follows:

At 31 December 2011, the Group’s trade and bills receivables of RMB58,216 thousand (2010: RMB60,115 thousand) were individually determined to be impaired. The individually impaired receivables related to customers that were in fi nancial diffi culties and management assessed that only a portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered. Consequently, specifi c allowances for doubtful debts of RMB58,216 thousand (2010: RMB60,115 thousand) were recognised. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.
Annual Report 2011 107
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
22. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
(c) Trade and bills receivables that are not impaired
The ageing analysis of trade and bills receivables that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:
==> picture [423 x 169] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2011 2010
RMB’000 RMB’000

93,737 74,539
----- End of picture text -----
Receivables that were not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a signifi cant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

27. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
(a) Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme
On 1 July 2007, the Group granted share options to employees of the Group, including directors of any companies in the Group, to subscribe for shares of the Company. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share of the Company. The consideration for the acceptance of the option is RMB0.1 per option.
Pursuant to the written resolutions of the directors of the Company passed on 24 April 2008, each of the share option granted was sub-divided into 3.2 share options and the exercise price of share option was divided by 3.2 accordingly. The number and exercise price of share option granted have been retrospectively adjusted for the effects of the share subdivision as if the share option subdivision had took place as at the grant date.
The share options granted vest in instalments over 4 years. Each instalment is accounted for as a separate share-based payment arrangement.

27. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)
(a) Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme (continued)
(iii) Fair value of share options and assumptions
The fair value of services received in return for share options granted is measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the share options granted was measured based on a binominal lattice model, with following input:
==> picture [402 x 124] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
1 July 2007
Share price RMB2.31
Exercise price RMB1.56
Expected volatility 34.39%
Option life 8 years
Expected dividends 0.00%
Risk-free interest rate 4.17%
----- End of picture text -----
The expected volatility is based on average implied volatility of comparable companies in the media industry as at 1 July 2007 used in modelling under binomial option pricing model. Expected dividends are based on management estimate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.
Share options are granted under a service condition. The condition has not been taken into account in the grant date fair value measurement of the services received. There was no market condition associated with the share option grants.
During the year ended 31 December 2011, equity-settled share-based payments expenses of RMB430 thousand (2010: RMB602 thousand) in respect of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme were recognised in the consolidated income statements.

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (calculated based on the weighted average remaining life of the share options), adjusted for any expected change to future volatility based on publicly available information. Expected dividends are based on historical dividends. Changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.
Share options are granted mainly under a service condition. The condition has not been taken into account in the grant date fair value measurement of the services received. There was no market condition associated with the share option grants.
During the year ended 31 December 2011, equity-settled share-based payments expenses of RMB4,215 thousand (2010: 2,760 thousand) in respect of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme were recognised in the consolidated income statements.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 fi nancial risk management policies and practices used by the group to manage these risks are described below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of fi nancial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a fi nancial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
(i) Trade and other receivables
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.
130 SinoMedia Holding Limited
30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
(a) Credit risk (continued)
(i) Trade and other receivables (continued)
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 specifi c to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are normally due within 90 days from the date of billing. Debtors with overdue balances 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 infl uenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the industry in which customers operate also has an infl uence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. The Group has no signifi cant concentrations of credit risk. At 31 December 2011, 2.63% (2010: 3.43%) and 8.13% (2010: 11.07%) of the total current trade and other receivables was due from the group’s largest customer and the fi ve largest customers in term of outstanding balance respectively.
The maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any collateral is represented by the carrying amount of trade and other receivables in the statement of fi nancial position after deducting any impairment allowance. The Group does not provide any other guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.
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 and 30.
(ii) Cash and cash equivalents
The Group mitigates its exposure to credit risk by depositing in fi nancial institutions in Hong Kong with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and state-controlled fi nancial institutions with good reputations in mainland China.
Annual Report 2011 131
(Expressed in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated)
30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
(b) Liquidity risk
Individual operating entities within the Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the short term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by the parent 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 suffi cient reserves of cash and readily realisable marketable securities and adequate committed lines of funding from major fi nancial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
The following tables show the remaining contractual maturities at the end of reporting period of the Group’s and the Company’s fi nancial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash fl ows at the earliest date the Group and the Company can be required to pay:

Results of the analysis as presented in the above table represent an aggregation of the instantaneous effects on each of the Group entities’ profi t after tax measured in the respective functional currencies, translated into Renminbi at the exchange rate ruling at the end of reporting period for presentation purposes.
The sensitivity analysis assumes that the change in foreign exchange rates had been applied to remeasure those fi nancial instruments held by the Group which expose the Group to foreign currency risk at the end of 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 fi nancial statements of foreign operations into the Group’s presentation currency. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.
