CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

As at the date of this Circular, the Sale Shares are charged or pledged (the “Charge”) by the Vendors to an independent third party (the “Lender”) for a loan (the “Secured Loan”) and that the Secured Loan remains outstanding.

The total consideration for the Sale Shares is HK$27,200,000 and shall be payable by Ace Bingo to the Vendors upon the date of Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in (i) development and operation of technology platforms for IP protection; collection of copyright/royalty fees on behalf of IP owners and the provision of value-added services in karaoke venues in the PRC and (ii) lottery-related businesses in the PRC via Bozone Group.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Company takes the view that the social welfare lottery in the PRC is a still at an expanding stage with huge growth potential. The lottery-related business carried out by the Bozone Group is also a growing section of the Group’s businesses and is profitable. The Completion of the Acquisition will increase the Group’s shareholding in Cheerfull Group from 51% to 100% and would enhance the Group’s return from this business division. Also, the aggregate of the Consideration and the LF Consideration to be paid as compared to the net asset value of the Bozone Group is very attractive. The increase to 100% ownership in Cheerfull will also reinforce the Company’s control over the business division and increase flexibility in utilizing various resources and business units within the Group to create further synergy.

Taking into account the benefits of the Acquisitions, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Acquisitions are fair and reasonable and the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE ACQUISITION

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Cheerfull Group will become wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, the financial results, assets and liabilities of Cheerfull Group will be 100% consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

As shown in Appendix III to this circular, which illustrates the effect of completion of the Acquisition on the Group assuming that the Acquisition has taken place on 30 June 2010, the completion of the Acquisition will lead to a decrease of about HK$27,500,000 in the total assets of the Group, a decrease of about HK$7,360,000 in the total liabilities of the Group, and a decrease of about HK$20,140,000 in the net equity of the Group.

The Group will also record an earnings of about HK$2,953,000 as a result of the Acquisition, which will be reflected in the reserve of the Group.

LISTING RULE IMPLICATIONS

As the applicable ratios for the Acquisition exceed 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.

As the applicable ratios for the Acquisition exceed 25% and the aggregate of the Consideration and LF Consideration exceed HK$10,000,000, the Acquisition constitutes a non-exempted connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the announcement and reporting requirements pursuant to Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules and requires the approval of the Independent Shareholders.

As no Directors have a material interest in the Acquisition, no director had to abstain from voting on the board resolutions with regards to the Acquisition.

The LF Consideration will be satisfied fully in cash.

As the applicable ratios for the Acquisition exceed 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM. As the applicable ratios for the Acquisition exceed 25% and the aggregate of the Consideration and LF Consideration exceed HK$10,000,000, the Acquisition constitutes a non-exempted connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the announcement and reporting requirements pursuant to Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules and requires the approval of the Independent Shareholders.

3. Reasons for the Acquisition

As mentioned in the Board Letter, the Company takes the view that the social welfare lottery in the PRC is a still at an expanding stage with huge growth potential. The lottery-related business carried out by the Bozone Group is also a growing section of the Group’s businesses and is profitable. The Completion will increase the Group’s shareholding in Cheerfull Group from 51% to 100% and would enhance the Group’s return from this business division. Also, the aggregate of the Consideration and the LF Consideration to be paid as compared to the net asset value of the Bozone Group is very attractive. The increase to 100% ownership in Cheerfull will also reinforce the Company’s control over the business division and increase flexibility in utilizing various resources and business units within the Group to create further synergy.

Taking into account the benefits of the Acquisition, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

According to the website of Ministry of Finance PRC (http://zhs.mof.gov.cn), the national lottery sales for the year 2010 has been increased by approximately 25.5% to approximately RMB 166,248 million from year 2009. For the three months from January to March 2011, the accumulated national lottery sales reached approximately RMB 46,314 million, which has increased by approximately 33.8% as compared with the same period in year 2010.

As set out in the TQR 2011, the sales revenue from lottery-related operation for the nine months ended 31 March 2011 has increased by approximately 32% as compared to the nine months ended 31 March 2010, which also represents approximately 58.10% of the total revenue of the Group for the nine months ended 31 March 2011. As set out in the AR 2010, the turnover from lottery-related operation for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 increased by approximately 23.19% from approximately HK$42.84 million recorded for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 to approximately HK$52.78 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, and the increase in revenue contribution is a direct result of the increase of combined lottery sales recorded in the 3 locations being serviced by the Bozone Group. Accordingly, the gross profit ratio of the lottery related business has increased by approximately 4.5% percentage points to approximately 91.4% for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 as compared with that of the financial year ended 30 June 2009 of approximately 86.9%. We have reviewed the financial results of the Company in AR 2010, IR 2011 and TQR 2011 and noticed that, the revenue generated from the lottery-related business segment has been increasing and has been contributing more than 50% of the total revenue of the Group.

We noted from the IR 2011 that the loss before taxation of the Group improved by approximately 61.20% for the six months ended 31 December 2010 whilst the profit before taxation of Cheerfull Group dropped by approximately 12.60% for the six months ended 31 December 2010. As noted from the IR 2011, the Group recorded loss on changes in fair value for derivative financial instruments of approximately HK$31.65 million for the six months ended 31 December 2009 and the Group did not record any loss on changes in fair value for derivative financial instruments for the six months ended 31 December 2010. After deduction of such loss on changes in fair value for derivative financial instruments for the six months ended 31 December 2009, the loss before

17

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

tax of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 would represent an increase in loss of approximately 0.58% as compared with that of the six months ended 31 December 2009. As such, the net profit of Cheerfull Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 did not have a significant impact on the improvement in loss of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 given such improvement was mainly resulted from the absence of the loss on changes in fair value for derivative financial instruments for the six months ended 31 December 2010. Having said that, the increase in gross profit of Cheerfull Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 (as mentioned below) has enhanced the gross profit of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010.

As set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the gross profit and profit attributable to equity holders of Cheerfull Group for the year ended 30 June 2010 represented an increase of approximately 29.53% and approximately 65.67% respectively as compared with those for the year ended 30 June 2009. As advised by the Company, the profit attributable to equity holders of Cheerfull Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 represented a drop of approximately 16.93% as compared with that for the six months ended 31 December 2009 was a result of the overall increase of approximately HK$4.93 million in rental expenses and staff related costs which was influenced by the overall economic environment to the Cheerfull Group and the decrease in other revenue of approximately HK$2.24 million which are non-recurring in nature. The gross profit of Cheerfull Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 represented an increase of approximately 15.46% as compared with the gross profit for the six months ended 31 December 2009 and as advised by the Company, by excluding the rental expenses of approximately HK$0.2 million and non-recurring staff related costs of approximately HK$1.7 million which represented an increase of approximately 24% and 50% respectively as compared with the period for the six months ended 31 December 2009 and other non-recurring revenue of approximately HK$2.24 million, the profit attributable to equity holders of Cheerfull Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 represented an increase of approximately 24.08% to that for the six months ended 31 December 2009.

As advised by the Company, the gross profit contributed by the lottery-related operation for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 was approximately HK$48.22 million, which has been increased by 29.53% as compared with that of the financial year ended 30 June 2009 of approximately HK$37.22 million. The gross profit contributed by the Bozone Group represents approximately 76.24% of the Group’s gross profit of approximately HK$63.25 million as shown in the AR 2010.

The lottery-related business carried out by the Bozone Group is shown to be a growing section of the Group’s businesses and is profitable. The Acquisition of the remaining 49% of Cheerfull Group enables 100% ownership and enhances control over the business which allows the Group to better utilize internal resources to attain synergy effects.

We have been advised by the Company that in order to facilitate the acquisition of the remaining 49% of the Cheerfull Group and obtain 100% of Longjiang Feng Cai, and considered that the LF Consideration is at a discount to the net book value of Longjiang Feng Cai as at 31 December 2010, the Company considers the LF Transfer Agreement as favourable to the Company as a whole. Further analysis on the Consideration and LF Consideration are set out in the section below headed “4. Consideration for the Acquisition”.

18

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

Having considered (i) the growing trend of the lottery sales in the PRC as supported by the national lottery sales statistics; (ii) the profitability of the Cheerfull Group for the three financial years ended 30 June 2010 and for the six months ended 31 December 2010 notwithstanding the drop in net profit for the six months ended 31 December 2010 as compared with the net profit in the corresponding period in the previous year due to the overall increase in rental expenses and staff related costs which are influenced by the overall economic environment to the Cheerfull Group and the decrease in other revenue which are non-recurring in nature; (iii) the Acquisition enables the Company to obtain full control over the Cheerfull Group and enhance its profit sharing on Cheerfull Group upon 100% ownership; (iv) the LF Consideration is at a discount to the net book value of Longjiang Feng Cai as at 31 December 2010; and (v) the potential synergies to be brought by the full utilization of internal resources of the enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition, we agree with the view of the Directors that the Acquisition is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

4. Consideration for the Acquisition

(a) Consideration

The consideration for the Sale Shares of HK$27,200,000 shall be payable in cash by Ace Bingo to the Vendors upon the date of Completion. The consideration for the LF Sale Share is HK$300,000 and shall be payable in cash in accordance with the terms of the LF Transfer Agreement. As advised by the Company, the Consideration and LF Consideration were agreed in arm’s length commercial negotiation and with reference to the net book value of the Bozone Group as at 31 December 2010.

In order to further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration and the LF Consideration, we have considered valuation approaches, including discount cash flow, price-to-book ratio, price-to-earnings ratio and price-to-sales ratio. Given discount cash flow would require a profit forecast model, of which assumptions on among others, revenue, capital expenditure, future cash flow and discount factor would be involved which will give rise to uncertainties and deviation on the valuation, we consider discount cash flow approaches may not be applicable. As such, we consider the price-to-book ratio, price-toearnings ratio and price-to-sales ratio would be more appropriate, among all the considered approaches, to provide a general reference to assess the reasonableness of the Consideration and the LF Consideration.

The aggregate consideration of approximately HK$55.81 million (the “ Aggregate Consideration ”) which comprised of the consideration of Cheerfull Group (on 100% equity interest basis) of approximately HK$55.51 million and LF Consideration of approximately HK$0.30 million represents a price earnings multiple (“ P/E ”) of approximately 2.8 times, which is calculated by the Aggregate Consideration divided by the sum of the income attributable to owners of the Cheerfull Group of approximately HK$19.79 million for the year ended 30 June 2010 and 1% of the income attributable to owners of Longjiang Feng Cai of approximately HK$0.15 million for the year ended 30 June 2010.

19

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

The price-to-book ratio (“ P/B ”) of the Acquisition is approximately 0.76 times, calculated as the Aggregate Consideration divided by the aggregate sum of the equity attributable to owners of the Cheerfull Group of approximately HK$64.49 million as at 31 December 2010, 1% of the equity attributable to owners of Longjiang Feng Cai of approximately HK$0.62 million as at 31 December 2010 and the Loan waived of approximately RMB 6.86 million (equivalently of approximately HK$8.16 million).

The price-to-sales ratio (“ P/S ”) of the Acquisition is approximately 1.05 times, calculated as the Aggregate Consideration divided by the aggregate sum of the revenue of Cheerfull Group of approximately HK$52.78 million for the year ended 30 June 2010 and 1% of the revenue of Longjiang Feng Cai of approximately HK$0.39 million for the year ended 30 June 2010.

As advised by the Company and as shown in the Ministry of Finance PRC (www. mof.gov.cn), revenue of the Cheerfull Group is on the track with the overall sales trend of the lottery industry. The national lottery sales have demonstrated continuing upward trend over the consecutive months as contributed by the expansion of different sales channel and launches of new lottery games in the PRC. As such, we consider revenue and profit of Cheerfull Group for the year ended 30 June 2010 would be more appropriate than the annualized revenue and the annualized profit of Cheerfull Group for the six months ended 31 December 2010 for the P/S and P/E calculation.

In order to access the fairness and reasonableness of the P/E, P/B and P/S of the Acquisition and given the Cheerfull Group is mainly engaged in lottery-related business, we have identified all comparable companies (the “ Industry Comparables ”) being listed companies on the Stock Exchange (on GEM or Main Board) engaging in lottery operation solutions or related business as at 15 April 2011, being the date of the Acquisition Agreement, with their respective revenue generated from the lottery related business represent more than 50% of the total revenue for the latest financial year as set out in the latest annual report/results announcements as published before the date of the Acquisition Agreement. To the best of our knowledge, we have identified 4 Industry Comparables by searching through published information on the Stock Exchange’s website.

The P/E, P/B and P/S are based on the Industry Comparables’ respective market capitalizations as at 15 April 2011, being the date of the Acquisition Agreement, and the annual profit attributable to the equity holders, equity attributable to equity holders and the annual revenue as set out in their latest annual reports or interim reports or results announcements (whichever is the latest) which are published prior to the date of the Acquisition Agreement. We are aware that some Industry Comparables are involved in various business segments whilst certain Industry Comparable is involved in lottery business only, however, in view that (i) the Industry Comparables are all engaged in lottery-related business, which is similar to the business of the Cheerfull Group, with their respective revenue generated from the lottery related business segment represent more than 50% of the total revenue; and (ii) the respective P/Es, P/Bs and P/Ss of the Industry Comparables are determined with reference to the date of the Acquisition Agreement, we consider the Industry Comparables are fair and representative samples.

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

As indicated in the above table, the P/E and P/B of the Acquisition being 2.8 times and 0.76 times, fall below the range of the P/Es and the P/Bs of the Industry Comparables from approximately 10.53 times to approximately 12.89 times and from approximately 1.07 times to approximately 2.12 times respectively. The P/S of the Acquisition being 1.05 times, falls below the mean and within the range of the P/Ss of the Industry Comparables from approximately 0.90 times to approximately 58.60 times.

We are aware that P/Es calculation were not applicable for two Industry Comparables and P/B calculation was not applicable for one Industry Comparable, however, in light of that the P/E and P/B represented by the Acquisition are below the ranges of those of the Industry Comparables and the P/S represented by the Acquisition is at the lower end of the range of the P/S of the Industry Comparables, we consider the P/E, P/B and P/S represented by the Acquisition are not unreasonable as compared with other companies operating in lottery-related business. In addition, we noted that even without taking into consideration of 1% of the equity attributable to owners of Longjiang Feng Cai and the waived Loan, the Aggregate Consideration of approximately HK$55.81 million has already represented a discount of approximately 19.15% to the audited net assets of Cheerfull Group of approximately HK$69.03 million as at 31 December 2010. Having considered the abovementioned, we consider the Consideration and LF Consideration are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

(i) Net asset value

As set out in Appendix III, the audited net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2010 was approximately HK$1,975.59 million, upon completion of the Acquisition, the net assets of the Group will decrease by approximately 1.02% to approximately HK$1,955.45 million.

In view of the optimistic prospect of the Cheerfull Group and the synergistic effects to the Group as mentioned in the section headed “3. Reasons for the Acquisition”, we consider such decrease in net assets of the Group is acceptable.

(ii) Earnings

As set out in the Board Letter. the Group will record an earnings of about HK$2.95 million as a result of the Acquisition, which will be reflected in the reserve of the Group.

In view of the profitability of the Cheerfull Group for the three financial years ended 30 June 2010 and for the six months ended 31 December 2010 and the Acquisition enables the Company to control over the Cheerfull Group and enhance its profit sharing on Cheerfull Group upon 100% ownership, we consider that it is a fair expectation that the Acquisition will have a positive impact on the earnings position of the Group upon Completion.

The Directors are of the view that the Enlarged Group would benefit from the increase in the shareholding in Cheerfull Group from 51% to 100% and would enhance the Enlarged Group’s return from this business division. Also, the aggregate of the Consideration and the LF Consideration to be paid as compared to the net asset value of the Bozone Group is very attractive. The increase to 100% ownership in Cheerfull will also reinforce the Company’s control over the business division and increase flexibility in utilizing various resources and business units within the Group to create further synergy.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

The financial statements of Cheerfull Group for each of the three years ended 30 June 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and were audited by W.H. Tang & Partners CPA Limited, certified public accountants registered in Hong Kong, in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.

For the purpose of this report, the directors of Cheerfull have prepared management accounts of Cheerfull Group for the Relevant Periods in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA (the “Underlying Financial Statements”). We have, for the purpose of this report, carried out appropriate audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.

We have examined the Underlying Financial Statements and have carried out such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” as recommended by the HKICPA.

The Financial Information of Cheerfull Group for the Relevant Periods set out in this report has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements for the purpose of preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular. No adjustments were considered necessary to adjust the Underlying Financial Statements in preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular.

The Underlying Financial Statements are the responsibility of the directors of Cheerfull who approved their issue. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included. It is our responsibility to compile the Financial Information from the Underlying Financial Statements, to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.

In our opinion, the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Cheerfull Group and Cheerfull as at 30 June 2008, 2009, 2010 and 31 December 2010 and of the results and cash flows of Cheerfull Group for each of the Relevant Periods.

The comparative consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of Cheerfull Group for the six months period ended 31 December 2009 together with the notes thereon (the “31 December 2009 Financial Information”) have been extracted from Cheerfull Group’s unaudited financial information for the same period which were prepared by the directors of Cheerfull solely for the purpose of this report. We have reviewed the 31 December 2009 Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. Our review of the 31 December 2009 Financial Information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we could become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 31 December 2009 Financial Information. On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, we are not aware of any material modifications should be made to the 31 December 2009 Financial Information.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

E. Notes to Financial Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Cheerfull was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) with limited liability. The address of its registered office is Offshore Incorporations Centre, P.O. Box 957, Road Town, Tortola, BVI. The address of its principal place of business is Room 2201, 22/F., Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Its ultimate holding company is Best Frontier Investments Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability.

Cheerfull is an investment holding company. The principal activities of Cheerfull Group are provision of lotteryrelated hardware and software systems.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), which is the same as functional currency of Cheerfull.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”); Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”); and Interpretations. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The GEM of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ”GEM Listing Rules”) and by the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

For the purpose of preparing and presenting Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, Cheerfull has adopted all the applicable HKFRSs which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010. Cheerfull Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. Cheerfull Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

The preparation of Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the directors to exercise its judgements in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in note 3.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below.

(b) Consolidation

The Financial Information includes the financial statements of Cheerfull and its subsidiaries made up to 30 June. Subsidiaries are entities over which Cheerfull Group has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Cheerfull Group has control.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Cheerfull Group. They are de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.

The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) Cheerfull’s share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill relating to that subsidiary and any related accumulated exchange reserve.

33

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealized profits are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Cheerfull Group.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Cheerfull. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the period between the non-controlling shareholders and owners of Cheerfull. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of Cheerfull and to the noncontrolling shareholders even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in Cheerfull’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of Cheerfull.

In Cheerfull’s statement of financial position, the investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less allowance for impairment losses. The result of subsidiary is accounted for by Cheerfull on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(c) Business combination and goodwill

Acquisition prior to 1 July 2009

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by Cheerfull Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary in an acquisition are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over Cheerfull’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of Cheerfull’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

The interests of non-controlling interests in the subsidiary are initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders’ proportion of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the acquisition date.

Acquisition on or after 1 July 2009

The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration.

Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

34

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

The excess of the cost of acquisition over Cheerfull’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of Cheerfull’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to Cheerfull.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary is remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value is added to the cost of acquisition to calculate the goodwill.

If the changes in the value of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary were recognized in other comprehensive income, the amount that was recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized on the same basis as would be required if the previously held equity interest were disposed of.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy below.

Impairment losses of goodwill are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.

The non-controlling interests in the subsidiary are initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from the provision of lottery-related hardware and software system is recognized when the services are rendered.

Interest income from a financial asset (other than a financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, comprising leasehold land and buildings, leasehold improvement, furniture, fixtures and equipment, plant and machinery, motor vehicles and computer equipment, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the property, plant and equipment to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the property, plant and equipment, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of that property, plant and equipment.

35

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Leasehold land and buildings 3%-5% or over the lease term but limited to 15 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 7%-25% Plant and machinery 3%-12% Leasehold improvement Over the lease term Motor vehicles 6%-20% Computer equipment 20%-25%

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued used of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which the item is derecognized.

(f) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the weightedaverage method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales.

(g) Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Cheerfull Group as lessor

Rental income from operating lease is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Cheerfull Group as lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognized as reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Leasehold land and building

Land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification, leasehold land which title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is classified as an operating lease unless the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, in which case, the entire lease is classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment.

(h) Impairment losses on assets other than goodwill

At each end of the reporting period, Cheerfull Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard. An asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the asset’s value in use or its net selling price.

36

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase under that other standard.

(i)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalized at cost and those acquired from a business combination are capitalized at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets. Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalized and expenditure is charged against the profit in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

Useful lives of acquired intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are stated at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Amortization for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and, where applicable, adjustments are made on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of the intangible asset, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the year the intangible asset is derecognized.

Computer software

Costs incurred on the acquisition of computer software are capitalized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less amortization and any identified impairment losses.

Impairment

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually by comparing their carrying amounts with their recoverable amounts, irrespective of whether there is any indication that they may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimated of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment when there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.

37

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

(j) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Cheerfull Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in jointly controlled entities, except where Cheerfull Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured of the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(k) Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the exchange rate prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of Cheerfull Group’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of nonmonetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

38

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of Cheerfull Group‘s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of Cheerfull Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) using the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulation in equity under the heading of foreign currency translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Cheerfull Group’s cash management.

(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when Cheerfull Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, and taking into account the risk and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).

(n)

Employee benefits

(a) Retirement benefits schemes

Cheerfull Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of Cheerfull Group in an independently administered fund. Cheerfull Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

The employees of Cheerfull Group’s subsidiary that operated in the People’s Republic of China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government and Central Provident Fund Scheme, respectively. These subsidiaries are required to contribute pension, based on a certain percentage of their payroll costs, to the pension schemes. The contributions are charged to consolidated statement of comprehensive income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the pension schemes.

(o) Retirement benefit costs

Payments to mandatory provident fund scheme (“MPF scheme”) and state-managed retirement benefits scheme and the defined contribution schemes are charged as expense as they fall due.

(p) Dividends

Dividends proposed or declared after the end of the reporting period is not recognized as a liability at the end of the reporting period.

39

APPENDIX II

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

(q) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the costs of that asset. Capitalization of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.

  • (r) Related parties

A party is considered to be related to Cheerfull Group if:

  • (i) directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the party:

  • controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Cheerfull or Cheerfull Group;

  • has an interest in the Cheerfull that gives it significant influence over Cheerfull or Cheerfull Group; or

  • has joint control over Cheerfull or Cheerfull Group;

  • (ii) the party is an associate;

  • (iii) the party is a jointly-controlled entity;

  • (iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of Cheerfull or of its parent;

  • (vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of Cheerfull or Cheerfull Group, or of any entity that is a related party of Cheerfull or Cheerfull Group.

(s) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Cheerfull Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

40

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments (other than financial assets classified as FVTPL, of which interest income is included in net gains and losses.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each end of the reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables including trade and other receivables and prepayments and bank balances and cash are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.

For loans and receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.

For trade receivables that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include Group’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When the trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

41

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

APPENDIX II

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Cheerfull Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest expense is recognized on an effective interest basis.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognized only when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards or ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when and only when, the Group’s obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the process of applying Cheerfull Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management has made the following judgments that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of relevant periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are also discussed below:

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account of their estimated residual value. The determination of the useful lives and residual values involve management’s estimation. Cheerfull Group assesses annually the residual value and the useful life of the property, plant and equipment and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the depreciation in the year and the estimate will be changed in the future period.

Amortization of other intangible assets

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The determination of useful lives and residual values involve management’s estimation. Cheerfull Group assesses annually the useful life of other intangible assets and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the amortization in the year and the estimate will be changed in the future period.

Estimated allowance of trade receivables

Cheerfull Group makes allowance of trade receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of receivables. Allowance is applied to trade receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of allowance requires the use of judgments and estimates. Where the expectation on the recoverability of trade receivables is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of trade receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the periods in which such estimate has been changed.

42

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

4. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Cheerfull Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in Cheerfull Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of Cheerfull Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of Cheerfull, comprising issued share capital and share premium disclosed in note 29 and 30 respectively, reserves as disclosed in consolidated statements of changes in equity.

The management reviews the capital structure by considering the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. In view of this, Cheerfull Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt. Cheerfull Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Cheerfull Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables and prepayments, bank balances and cash, trade and other payables. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Credit risk

Cheerfull Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables and prepayments and bank balances. At the end of each reporting period, Cheerfull Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to Cheerfull Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Cheerfull has monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, Cheerfull Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Cheerfull consider that Cheerfull Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are authorized banks in the Hong Kong and the PRC.

Foreign currency risk

Cheerfull Group collects most of its revenue in Renminbi (“RMB”) and incurs most of its expenditure including capital expenditure in RMB. Future exchange rates of RMB could vary significantly from the current or historical exchange rates as a result of controls that could be imposed by the PRC government. The exchange rates may also be affected by economic developments and political changes domestically and internationally, and supply and demand of RMB. The appreciation or devaluation of RMB against foreign currencies may have positive or negative impact on the results of operations of the Cheerfull Group.

43

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE CHEERFULL GROUP

Cheerfull Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arises. The directors of Cheerfull considered that Cheerfull Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk is insignificant as the majority of the Cheerfull Group’s transactions are denominated in the functional currency of the respective group entities.

Cheerfull Group uses a 5% sensitivity rate to report foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates. If RMB had strengthened/weakened by 5%, profit for the period ended 31 December 2010 would have been increased/ decreased by approximately HK$398,000 as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of transactions denominated in Hong Kong dollars (30 June 2010: increased/decreased by approximately HK$1,066,000, 30 June 2009: increased/decreased by approximately HK$797,000 and 30 June 2008: increased/decreased by approximately HK$310,000).

Interest rate risk

Cheerfull Group has no significant interest-bearing borrowings and Cheerfull Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. Management does not anticipate significant impact on interest-bearing assets resulted from the changes in interest rates because the interest rates of bank deposits are not expected to change significantly.

In the opinion of the directors of Cheerfull, sensitive analysis is not presented by considering that Cheerfull Group has not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

Individual operating entities within Cheerfull 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. Cheerfull Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following tables analyze Cheerfull Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which Cheerfull Group can be required to pay:
