Notes:
1. General information
Universe International Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in distribution of films in various videogram formats, film exhibition, licensing and sublicensing of film rights, leasing of investment properties, securities investment, money lending, trading and wholesale of optical products, and trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Bermuda. The address of its registered office is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.
The Company is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).
These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of units of Hong Kong dollars (“HK$’000”), unless otherwise stated.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which is a collective term referred to all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations (“Ints”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are carried at fair value.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the predecessor Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) for this financial year and the comparative period.
During the year ended 30th June 2015, the Directors performed a review of the content and presentation of the consolidated financial statements and considered that it is more appropriate to begin with components on revenue and income and cost of revenue and income, which would be more relevant to the understanding of users of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Consequently, the presentation of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30th June 2015 has been revised and the comparatives have been revised in order to conform with the presentation adopted in these consolidated financial statements. The changes in presentation of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income do not have any impact on the Group’s profit for the year or the calculation of the Group’s earnings per share.
The Group has also reassessed the classification of the deposits as at 30th June 2015. As a result of the reassessment, the Group has reclassified non-current rental deposits from current deposits to non-current deposits based on the term of rental agreement.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.
6
The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. The Group has adopted the new and revised HKFRSs below, which are relevant to its operations, in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 (2011) Investment Entities Amendment HKAS 32 Amendment Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities HKAS 36 Amendment Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets HKAS 39 Amendment Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting HK(IFRIC) – Int 21 Levies HKAS 19 (2011) Amendment Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions Annual Improvement Project Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle Annual Improvement Project Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle
These amendments to standards and new interpretations had no material impact on the presentation of the Group’s financial statements.
The following new or revised standards and amendments to standards are relevant to the Group’s operation but are not effective for the Group’s financial year beginning 1st July 2014 and have not been early adopted in these consolidated financial statements:

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and interpretations would be in the period of initial application, but not yet in a position to state whether these amendments, new standards and interpretations would have a significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

3. Segment information
Primary reporting format – business segments
The chief operating decision-marker (“CODM”) reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports, as below:
-
Distribution of films in various videogram formats
-
Film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights
-
Leasing of investment properties
-
Securities investments
-
Money lending
The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of segment results. This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments, such as gain on disposal of subsidiaries and fair value loss in issuance of unlisted warrants. Finance income, finance costs, share of results of an associate and a joint venture and income tax expense are not included in the result for each operating segment that is reviewed by the CODM. Other information provided, except as noted below, to the CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.
Total assets, excluding investment properties, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans receivable, inventories, accounts receivable, amount due from a joint venture and other unallocated assets (included in property, plant and equipment, deposits paid, prepayment and other receivables) are managed on a central basis. These are part of the reconciliation to total balance sheet assets.
The Group’s inter-segment transactions mainly consist of licensing of film rights, which are transferred at cost. The revenue and income from external parties reported to the CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
There are no sales between geographical segments.

6. Earnings/(loss) per share
(a) Basic
Basic earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
For the year ended 30th June 2014, the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic loss per ordinary share has been restated and adjusted with the effect of shares consolidation (10 shares consolidated into 1 share) which occurred during the current year.
| Profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the Company (HK$’000) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue Basic earnings/(loss) per ordinary share (HK cents) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue Basic loss per ordinary share (HK cents) |
Year ended 30th June 2015 2014 (As previously stated) 161,956 (24,327) 238,133,829 1,715,589,398 68.01 (1.42) 2014 (Restated) 171,558,940 (14.18) |
|---|---|
13
(b) Diluted
Diluted earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company’s dilutive potential ordinary shares is arising from share options, for which a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.
| Profit attributable to owners of the Company and used to determine diluted earnings per ordinary share (HK$’000) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue Adjustment for share options Weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted earnings per ordinary share Diluted earnings per ordinary share (HK cents) |
Year ended 30th June 2015 161,956 238,133,829 3,131,072 241,264,901 67.13 |
|---|---|
The basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended 30th June 2014 are the same because the effect of the assumed conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year was antidilutive.
7. Dividend per share
The Board did not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year ended 30th June 2015 (2014: nil).
8. Accounts receivable

12. Pending litigations
- (a) A court action was commenced in the Court of First Instance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 17th April 2002 by The Star Overseas Limited (“Star”), an independent third party, against Universe Entertainment Limited (“UEL”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
By the above action, Star alleges that a sum of US$935,872 (equivalent to HK$7,299,799) was payable by UEL to Star as its share of the revenue of the movie entitled “Shaolin Soccer” (the “Movie”).
17
Pursuant to an Order (the “Order”) made by the High Court on 21st February 2003, the UEL was ordered and had paid to Star a sum of HK$5,495,700, being part of the licence fee of the Movie received by UEL from Miramax Films (being the licencee of the Movie) and which was also part of the sum claimed by Star. Pursuant to the Order, UEL is also liable to pay Star interest in the sum of HK$350,905 and some of the costs of the application leading to the making of the Order, all of which have been settled. As the Order has not disposed of all the claims of US$935,872 (equivalent to HK$7,299,799) by Star, UEL is entitled to continue to defend the claim by Star for recovering the remaining balance in the sum of approximately HK$1,804,099 (HK$7,299,799 less HK$5,495,700).
On 30th April 2002, UEL issued a Writ of Summons against Star for the latter’s wrongful exploitation of certain rights in the Movie co-owned by both parties. UEL claimed to recover all losses and damages suffered by UEL as a result of the wrongful exploitation.
On 9th September 2002, Universe Laser & Video Co. Limited (“ULV”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a Writ of Summons against Star for the latter’s infringement of the licensed rights in the Movie held by ULV. ULV claimed to recover all losses and damages suffered by ULV as a result of the said infringement.
In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the claim against UEL. The Board is of the opinion that the outcome of the said claim made against UEL will have no material financial impact to the Group for the year ended 30th June 2015.
- (b) On 1st September 2008, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“KPE”) issued a Writ of Summons against among other persons, the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil (one of the Directors), being three of the defendants named therein, in respect of damages arising from alleged infringement of the patents regarding Video Compact Disc owned by KPE.
In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the said claim made against the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil. The Board is of the opinion that the outflow of economic benefits cannot be reliably estimated and accordingly no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
- (c) On 8th January 2010, KPE issued a Writ of Summons against among other persons, the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil (one of the Directors), being three of the defendants named therein, in respect of damages arising from alleged infringement of the patents regarding Digital Video Disc owned by KPE.
In June 2012, the action was discontinued against the Company and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil. The claim made against ULV has been agreed with KPE and settled by ULV and appropriate legal costs provision was recognised accordingly in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2012.
No additional provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2015. Based on the consultation with legal counsel, no further material outflow of economic benefits will be incurred for ULV.
18
- (d) Universe Artiste Management Limited (“UAM”) commenced Court of First Instance Action against Kwong Ling and Oriental Prosperous Int’l Entertainments Limited (collectively the “Defendants”) on 30th June 2014 claiming inter alia for a declaration that UAM is entitled to extend/renew the term of the Artist Management Contract of the Defendants with UAM (the “Artist Management Contract”) for 5 years as from 3rd May 2014 to 2nd May 2019.
The Defendants filed their defence and counterclaim on 29th September 2014. By such counterclaim, the Defendants were claiming against UAM, inter alia, for a declaration that the Artist Management Contract was void and unenforceable, the Artist Management Contract to be rescinded, damages for breach of the Artist Management Contract and for breach of fiduciary duties, a declaration that UAM is liable to account to the Defendants and an order for payment of all sums found to be due by UAM to the Defendants.
In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the said claim against UAM. The Board considers that the amounts of counterclaim by the Defendants against UAM is insignificant to the Group as a whole.
Save as disclosed above, as at 30th June 2015, no litigation or claim of material importance is known to the directors to be pending against either the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Overall Group Results
For the year ended 30th June 2015 (“Year”), the Group recorded revenue and income of approximately HK$300.2 million (2014: approximately HK$233.2 million). The increase was mainly due to the combined net effect of the decrease in income on film exhibitions and licensing and sub-licensing of films rights from approximately HK$174.4 million for the year ended 30th June 2014 to approximately HK$34.2 million for the Year; and the increase in fair value changes on investment securities from approximately HK$35.9 million for the year ended 30th June 2014 to approximately HK$229.9 million for the Year.
Profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$162.0 million for the Year (2014: loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$24.3 million). The increase in profit attributable to owners of the Company for the Year is mainly attributable to the increase in fair value changes on investment securities from approximately HK$35.9 million for the year ended 30th June 2014 to approximately HK$229.9 million for the Year which is partly off-set by the increase of impairment loss of film rights of approximately HK$4.6 million and increase of administrative expense of approximately HK$13.6 million as compared to the year ended 30th June 2014.
Video distribution
Revenue from this business segment during the Year was approximately HK$6.9 million, representing the decrease of approximately 12.7% compared to the year ended 30th June 2014 due to unfavorable market environment during the Year.
Due to the difficult operating environment, the Group recorded a segmental loss of approximately HK$3.3 million for the Year (2014: approximately HK$4.1 million). The Group will continue to adopt a cautious and prudent approach in acquisition of new titles for the video distribution business.
Film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights
Income from this business segment during the Year was approximately HK$34.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 80.4% as compared to approximately HK$174.4 million for the year ended 30th June 2014.
The significant decrease in revenue from this business segment was mainly due to the decrease in the number of newly self-produced films released during the Year. In particular, only one new self-produced film, namely, “Little Big Master” (5個小孩的校長)was released during the Year, while two new self-produced films, namely, “Out of Inferno” (逃出生天)and “The White Storm” (掃毒)were released for the year ended 30th June 2014.
21
The Group recorded a segmental loss of approximately HK$6.3 million (2014: approximately HK$12.6 million) for the Year. The decrease in segmental loss was due to net effect of (i) the satisfactory box office and net result of the newly self-produced films released during the Year; (ii) the increase in contributions from non-newly released film during the Year. The gross profit margin for such non-newly released films is typically high because their cost had been fully amortised in previous year; and partly offset by (iii) the increase in impairment loss of film rights during the Year. Due to high production, advertising and distribution costs, the business environment of this segment is more challenging than before and the Group will continue to adopt a cautious and prudent approach to identify new opportunities and streamline the cost structure of this business segment.
Leasing of investment properties
Revenue from this business segment during the Year was approximately HK$1.0 million, representing the decrease of approximately 35.7% compared to the year ended 30th June 2014. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to sales of certain investment properties in January 2014.
The Group recorded a segmental gain of approximately HK$1.3 million (2014: approximately HK$3.6 million) from this business segment for the Year. The decrease in segmental gain from this segment is due to the decrease in revenue and the decrease in gain in fair value of investment properties during the Year.
Securities investment
Securities investment business recorded significant growth during the Year. The Group recorded realised and unrealised fair value gain on changes on investment securities of approximately HK$88.9 million (2014: approximately HK$7.9 million) and approximately HK$141.0 million (2014: approximately HK$28.0 million), respectively. The segment profit of this business is approximately HK$223.7 million (2014: approximately HK$34.1 million) during the Year. Such growth was mainly attributable to the good net performance of our investment portfolio and the positive investing market environment during the Year.
Reference is made to the Company’s announcement dated 6th July 2015 (“Positive Profit Alert Announcement”), based on the information available as at 6th July 2015, the Group was expected to record a net profit for the Year against a net loss for the year ended 30th June 2014, which was mainly due to the significantly increase of the gains arising from the disposal and changes in the fair value of the investment securities from approximately HK$35.9 million for the year ended 30th June 2014 to approximately HK$248.7 million for the Year, which was estimated based on the closing prices of equity securities held by the Group as at 30th June 2015.
The total fair value changes on investment securities (including realised and unrealised fair value gain) is approximately HK$229.9 million as reported in this annual results announcement, which is different from approximately HK$248.7 million as reported in the Positive Profit Alert Announcement. The difference of approximately HK$18.8 million is due to the measurement of the fair value of one equity security (the trading of which in an active market was suspended in May 2015) in this annual results announcement which is based on the Group’s share of its net asset value as at 30th June 2015 (representing the management’s best estimate of such equity security’s fair value based on information which became available subsequent to the date of the Positive Profit Alert Announcement) rather than the latest closing price of this equity security before its suspension of trading in an active market.
22
As at 30th June 2015, the total fair value of the investment portfolio held by the Group was approximately HK$315.1 million (2014: approximately HK$60.3 million). As at 30th June 2015, all the investment items of the Group’s investment portfolio are shares of companies listed on the Stock Exchange and engaged in different industries such as entertainment services, manufacturing, financial advisory business, asset management, solar energy, healthcare and wholesale business etc. The Group’s investment portfolio were classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at the balance sheet date.
The Group will continue diversifying, optimizing and consolidating its investment portfolios, so as to achieve a better return to the Group.
Money lending business
The Group started its money lending business in December 2013 and achieved a significant growth in interest income and segment profit in the second year of operation during the Year. The Group recorded an interest income of approximately HK$5.2 million from this business, representing a year-on-year growth of approximately 180.4% compared to the year ended 30th June 2014. The segment profit of this business is approximately HK$2.5 million (2014: approximately HK$1.3 million) during the Year.
Loan portfolio is approximately HK$37.0 million as at 30th June 2015 (2014: approximately HK$38.9 million).

There was no default event happened in respect of the Group’s loan portfolio during the Year (2014: nil).
The Group will continue to expand the money lending business to effectively utilise the Group’s cash resources and to diversify the source of the Group’s income.
Geographical contribution
In terms of geographical contribution, overseas markets accounted for approximately 8.6% (2014: approximately 61.2%) of the Group’s total revenue and income during the Year. More revenue and income were generated from the securities and investment business in Hong Kong and less income was generated from the film exhibition and licensing and sub-licensing of film rights in PRC during the Year as compared to the year ended 30th June 2014.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses for the Year decreased by approximately 11.2% to approximately HK$3.2 million as compared to approximately HK$3.6 million for the year ended 30th June 2014. The decrease in selling expenses was mainly due to the decrease in the number of the newly released films during the Year.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses for the Year increased by approximately 38.2% to approximately HK$49.1 million as compared to approximately HK$35.5 million for the year ended 30th June 2014.
The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to the increase in the salaries and overhead expenses in developing the new business during the Year and the recognition of the share based payment expenses of approximately HK$9.4 million (2014: nil) during the Year.
23
Other income
Other income for the Year decreased by approximately 81.8% to approximately HK$0.8 million as compared to approximately HK$4.6 million for the year ended 30th June 2014. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of sponsorship income for the Company’s films of approximately HK$3.3 million during the Year.

The Group has applied HK$34.8 million for the development of money lending business and HK$36.75 million to acquire 49% of the issued share capital of the Glory International Entertainment Limited as announced on 27th August 2015.
The Board has noted that the revenue and income of the Group has fluctuated in the past five financial years (From year ended 30th June 2010 to year ended 30th June 2014) from a maximum of approximately HK$233.2 million for the year ended 30th June 2014 to a minimum of approximately HK$75.9 million for the year ended 30th June 2012. The business segment of the film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights accounted for a major portion of the total revenue and income of the Group, which represented approximately 74.8% of the total revenue for the financial year ended 30th June 2014. However, films are produced on a project basis and the revenue generated thereunder are not stable, thus causing the fluctuation of the revenue and income and also the profitability of the Group. In view of the above, it is the goal of the Group to expand its revenue and income stream and stabilize its revenue and income through (i) the acquisition of new businesses, which are considered to have a relatively stable income stream, from other parties; and/or (ii) further expansion of the other existing business segments of the Group. As such, the Group is in the process of negotiating with certain potential vendors for possible acquisitions of some new businesses and further investment in
29
some existing businesses. When the management of the Company is in negotiation with the potential sellers of the aforementioned acquisitions, such potential sellers may have concerns as to whether the Group has sufficient internal resources to proceed with the acquisitions and to develop the businesses. To facilitate further negotiations, it is preferable for the Company to conduct fund raising exercise before the formal acquisition agreements of the aforesaid acquisitions are entered into. As such, the Group conducted the Fourth Placing and the Rights Issue. The Board also considers that the Fourth Placing and the Rights Issue represent a good opportunity to broaden the shareholders’ base and the capital base of the Company.

As at 30th June 2015, the Group did not have any pledged assets (2014: nil).
