LETTER FROM THE BOARD
THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Date:

Assets to be acquired:
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to acquire and the Vendor agreed to sell 30% equity interest in Ancen Properties.
The Vendor owns 30% of the issued share capital of Ancen Properties and Ancen Properties is an associate of the Company. Upon Completion, Ancen Properties will become a 70% owned subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s interest in Ancen Properties will be accounted for as an interest in a subsidiary in its financial statements.
Consideration and payment terms
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Consideration shall be HK$18,290,000. It was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and to be addressed in the following:
-
(i) the audited net asset value of Ancen Properties was approximately HK$37,963,000 (or about HK$11,389,000 attributable to the 30% equity interests to be acquired by the Company) as at 31 March 2006;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As detailed in the section headed “Information on the PRC Property”, according to the PRC Legal Opinions, there is no foreseeable obstacles for Dongguan Jia Lake to obtain the Real Estate Ownership Certificate and Land Use Right under its name as and when Dongguan Jia Lake has settled all the outstanding taxes and payments in full and applies for the Real Estate Ownership Certificate and Land Use Right in accordance with the relevant application procedures. On the basis of the above, and the fact that Dongguan Liaobu Town Real Estate Development Company can only transfer the title of the land to Dongguan Jia Lake and that Dongguan Jia Lake is the sole user and investor of the PRC Property and Dongguan Jia Lake is entitled to the income derived from the PRC Property according to the relevant joint venture agreements established in 1992, the Directors are of the view that reference to the valuation report set out in Appendix IV to this circular when determining the consideration is fair and reasonable. For details of the abovementioned, please refer to the section headed “Information on the PRC Property”.
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, 15% of the Consideration, being HK$2,743,500, was paid by the Company to the lawyer of the Vendor upon signing of the Share Purchase Agreement as a partial payment of the Consideration. The balance will be paid upon Completion.
The Consideration will be financed by the proceeds from the Company’s rights issue in June 2006. The Directors believe that the Acquisition will enable the Group to obtain full access to and better allocate the resources currently owned by Ancen Properties. As such, the Directors consider that the funding of the Acquisition is consistent with the use of proceeds as set out in the Company’s prospectus dated 9 June 2006.
Condition precedent
Completion of the Share Purchase Agreement is conditional upon approval of the Acquisition by the Shareholders at the SGM. No Shareholders are required to abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolution to approve the Acquisition.
If the condition precedent of the Share Purchase Agreement fails to be satisfied or obtained on or before the Completion Date, the Share Purchase Agreement will be terminated and rescinded.

In the same year, Ancen Properties and Dongguan Liaobu Town Real Estate Development Company (東莞市寮步房 地產開發公司 ) established a joint venture, Dongguan Jia Lake, in which Ancen Properties is entitled to the net income derived from the PRC Property.

However, Dongguan Jia Lake is not entitled to dispose of the PRC Property by way of transfer or mortgage in the open market until it has obtained a valid Certificate of State-owned Land Use (the “Land Use Right”) or a Real Estate Ownership Certificate in the name of Dongguan Jia Lake (as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Real Estate Ownership Certificate was registered under the name of Dongguan Liaobu Town Real Estate Development Company (東莞市寮步房地產開發公司 ).

The Group’s turnover dropped by 35.1% to HK$182.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2006 as compared with the year ended 31 March 2005. This was due to the fact that the drastic increases in prices of essential raw materials and the soaring price of crude oil kept on significantly impacting the cost of production and hampered the lean profit margin. Worse still, the competition of home appliances manufacturing industry was so keen that just part of the increased cost could be passed on to our customers as product prices were invariably the key element of successful transactions. The sales turnover was dropped accordingly.
Business Prospects
In view of the persistent hardship pertained to the home appliances manufacturing industry, experienced and competent professionals have been invited to join the Board to enhance corporate management since 2006. The new management team has unanimously agreed that gradual diversification is a must.
The Group is now taking a more aggressive stance to seek for new and lucrative opportunities, aiming to increase the Group’s profit and overall performance. More efforts and resources will be deployed in real estate development and building material business in the near future. Our corporate strategy is to strengthen our current setup in home appliances business, but simultaneously diversifies into property development and related building materials business, supported by markets both in Mainland China and Hong Kong.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
In conclusion, we would continue to keep abreast on market trends in order to enhance our competitiveness. With such diversification of our current business lines taking place, we believe our prospects will be promising and brilliant.
Business Outlook
Core Business – Home Appliances Manufacturing
Since our establishment, our core business is engaged in design, manufacturing, and sales of home appliances and electrical products. Through years of incessant efforts, we have seized and secured a leading stance in the industry.
In view of the difficulties and uncertainties associated with the home appliances business, our management team has been taking positive steps to tackle the challenges. On the one hand, to prune down the production cost, we have adopted measures such as new production facilities acquired to foster a better production management, which not only increases the workers’ per capita productivity but also lowers wastage and inventory. Simultaneously, we are going to adopt the Oracle enterprise resource planning system to facilitate cost control and profit analysis.
On the other hand, to broaden our revenue sources, a well recognized America household brandname distributorship for expanding OBM (original brand manufacturing) strategy has been acquired during the year in order to extend product line on hand. We also plan to expand the customer bases by appointing international and regional sales agents to procure and promote sales. We are developing and strengthening our marketing strategies and sales volume. We will continue to strive for improvement of profitability through new design and new products. We will also analyze the feasibility to extend our service and business potential with our industry partners through new forms of business like brand name building in the global market.
New Business with Enormous Potential
As oil and raw materials price soar, the production costs of home appliances are getting higher. In view of the foreseeable keen competition in the industry, the Group decides to diversify our business lines in addition to our manufacturing business, striving for higher profit gains.
As such, apart from manufacturing home appliances, the Group, after thorough research and analysis, decides to invest more of its resources into property development and related building materials business in order to increase our competitiveness.
Property Development
China’s economy grows at a skyrocketing pace and people’s living standard greatly improves. Therefore, demands for high-quality real estate products including residential units, villas, hotels and commercial complexes are high in many provinces and cities. We thus plan to place more resources into property development in both Mainland China and Hong Kong.
We are now actively exploring on a number of potential projects in the two regions.

APPENDIX I
Building Materials Business
With rapid development in property market of Mainland China and Hong Kong, significant growth has also been noted in the building materials sector. Trendy and light-weight building materials are in high demand and shall become the mainstream in the building industry in the coming years. We are closely monitoring the associated business opportunities in the building materials markets.
Our ultimate aim is to take a strong stand in sales of household appliances through product renovations and differentiations, but simultaneously explore and engage in lucrative property development projects and related building material trade in both Mainland China and Hong Kong. We believe with diversification processes come to play, shareholders shall have a fruitful return for investment.
Dividend
The Directors do not recommend payment of any dividend for the year ended 31 March 2006 (2005: Nil).
Liquidity and Financial Resources
The Group’s gearing ratio expressed as a percentage of total interest-bearing borrowings over equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders, risen from 20.0% at the beginning of the year to 24.9% as at 31 March 2006. The increase was mainly due to the net worth of the Group dropped as a result of the effect of the loss for the year. Working capital fell from last year’s level to HK$10.2 million as the reduction in inventories was made during the year.
The Group has HK$26.8 million (2005: HK$27.3 million) interest-bearing borrowings consisted of HK$23.3 million secured trust receipt loans, factoring loans, bills discounted and packing loans; HK$2.1 million finance lease payable and other loans of HK$1.4 million. The aforesaid loans comprise approximately 96.5% (2005: 72.2%) thereof repayable within one year and 2.8% (2005: 27.3%) thereof repayable within the second year and the balance of 0.7% (2005: 0.5%) thereof repayable in the third year. All the loans are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. As at 31 March 2006, the Group had total cash and bank balances and pledged deposits amounting to HK$19.6 million (2005: HK$9.8 million).
The Directors believe that the existing financial resources are sufficient to cover its existing business. If the Group requires additional funding to capture business opportunities that may arise in the future, the Directors are confident that the Group will be able to obtain financing in favourable items.

The adoption of revised HKAS 17 has resulted in a change in the accounting policy relating to the reclassification of land use rights and leasehold land from property, plant and equipment to operating leases. For the effect of changes in accounting policy, please refer to note 3(a).
The adoption of HKFRS 2 has resulted in a change in accounting policy as described below.
In prior years, no amounts were recognised when employees (the term of which includes directors) were granted share options over shares in the Company. If the employees chose to exercise the options, the nominal amount of share capital and share premium were credited only to the extent of the option’s exercise price receivable.
With effect from 1 April 2005, in order to comply with HKFRS 2, the Company recognised the fair value of such share options as an expense in the income statement, or as an asset, if the cost qualifies for recognition as an asset under the Company’s accounting policies. A corresponding increase is recognised in a capital reserve within equity.
The change in policy had no effect on the financial statements as no options existed at 1 April 2004 or granted during the year and last year.
(b) Subsidiaries and controlled entities
A subsidiary is a company in which the group, directly or indirectly, holds more than half of the issued share capital or controls more than half the voting power or controls the composition of the board of directors. Subsidiaries are considered to be controlled if the company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.
An investment in a controlled subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized profits arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Minority interests at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that are not owned by the company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the company. Minority interests in the results of the group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interests and the equity shareholders of the company.
Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the group’s interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the group’s interest is allocated all such profits until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the group has been reversed.
In the company’s balance sheet, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale.

(c) Associates
An associate is an entity in which the group or company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.
The consolidated income statement includes the group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the associates for the year, including any impairment loss on goodwill relating to the investment in associates recognised for the year.
When the group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or the jointly controlled entity. For this purpose, the group’s interest in the associate is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with the group’s long-term interests that in substance form part of the group’s net investment in the associate.
Unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the associate, except where unrealized losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in income statement.
In the company’s balance sheet, its investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
The following properties held for own use are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation:
- land held under operating leases and buildings thereon, where the fair values of the leasehold interest in the land and buildings cannot be measured separately at the inception of the lease and the building is not clearly held under an operating lease.
Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of these assets does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date.
Other items of plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Changes arising on the revaluation of properties held for own use are generally dealt with in reserves. The only exceptions are as follows:
-
when a deficit arises on revaluation, it will be charged to income statement to the extent that it exceeds the amount held in the reserve in respect of that same asset immediately prior to the revaluation; and
-
when a surplus arises on revaluation, it will be credited to income statement to the extent that a deficit on revaluation in respect of that same asset had previously been charged to income statement.
The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs.
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal. Any related revaluation surplus is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained profits.

(d) Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings Over the unexpired term of lease Furniture and fixtures 20% Machinery, engineering and other equipment 10% Motor vehicles 10% Moulds 10%
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost or valuation of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.
(e) Leased assets
- (i) Classification of assets leased to the group
Assets that are held by group under leases which transfer to the group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under finance leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the group are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:
-
land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating lease. For these purposes, the inception of the lease is the time that the lease was first entered into by the group, or taken over from the previous lessee, or at the date of construction of those buildings, if later.
-
(ii) Assets acquired under finance leases
Where the group acquires the use of assets under finance leases, the amounts representing the fair value of the leased asset, or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, of such assets are included in property, plant and equipment and the corresponding liabilities, net of finance charges, are recorded as obligations under finance leases. Depreciation is provided at rates which write off the cost or valuation of the assets over the term of the relevant lease or, where it is likely the company or group will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset, as set out in note 2(d). Impairment losses are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy as set out in note 2(f). Finance charges implicit in the lease payments are charged to profit or loss over the period of the leases so as to produce an approximately constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. Contingent rentals are written off as an expense of the accounting period in which they are incurred.
- (iii) Operating lease charges
Where the group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to income statement in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in income statement as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to income statement in the accounting period in which they are incurred. The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term except where the property is classified as an investment property.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(f) Impairment of assets
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
-
property, plant and equipment (other than properties carried at revalued amounts);
-
pre-paid interests in leasehold land classified as being held under an operating lease; and
-
investments in subsidiaries and associates.
-
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
-
Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
– Recognition of impairment losses
An impairment loss is recognised in income statement whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (or group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs to sell, or value in use, if determinable.
–
Reversals of impairment losses
In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts, except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the group’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement. Cash equivalents include investments and advances denominated in foreign currencies provided that they fulfill the above criteria.
(j) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(k) Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(l) Taxation
Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity, in which case they are recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilized.
The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future. The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- (l) Taxation (Continued)
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised. Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the company or the group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:
-
in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the company or the group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
-
in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
the same taxable entity; or
-
different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.
(m) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the group or the company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(n) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in income statement as follows:
-
(i) Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable; and
-
(ii) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.
(o) Translation of foreign currencies
The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in income statement.
31
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(o) Translation of foreign currencies (Continued)
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. The results of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items, including goodwill arising on consolidation of foreign operations acquired on or after 1 January 2005, are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognised directly in a separate component of equity. Goodwill arising on consolidation of a foreign operation acquired before 1 January 2005 is translated at the foreign exchange rate that applied at the date of acquisition of the foreign operation.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognised in equity which relate to that foreign operation is included in the calculation of the income statement on disposal.
(p) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
(q) Related parties
For the purpose of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the group if the group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the group and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/ or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the group where those parties are individuals, and post employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the group or of any entity that is a related party of the group.
(r) Employee benefits
- (i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans.
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
- (ii) The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries which operate in mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The subsidiaries are required to contribute a percentage of their payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with rules of the central pension scheme.

APPENDIX I
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(r) Employee benefits (Continued)
- (iii) Share option scheme
The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in a capital reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date using the binomial lattice model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the share options, the total estimated fair value of the share options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest.
During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognised in prior years is charged/credited to the income statement for the year of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. On vesting date, the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that relate to the market price of the company’s shares. The equity amount is recognised in the capital reserve until either the option is exercised (when it is transferred to the share premium account) or the option expires (when it is released directly to retained profits).
- (iv) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised when, and only when, the group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
(s) Segment information
A segment is a distinguishable component of the group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
In accordance with the group’s internal financial reporting system, the group has chosen geographical segment information as the primary reporting format for the purposes of the financial statements.
Segment revenue, expenses, results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to that segment. For example, segment assets may include inventories, trade receivables and property, plant and equipment. Segment revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities are determined before intra-group balances and intra-group transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process, except to the extent that such intra-group balances and transactions are between group entities within a single segment. Inter-segment pricing is based on similar terms as those available to other external parties.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets (both tangible and intangible) that are expected to be used for more than one period.
Unallocated items mainly comprise financial and corporate assets, interest-bearing loans, borrowings, tax balances, corporate and financing expenses.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
3. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(a) Leasehold land and buildings held for own use
In prior years, leasehold land and buildings held for own use were stated at revalued amounts less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Movements of revaluation surpluses or deficits were normally taken to the property revaluation reserve.
With effect from 1 April 2005, in order to comply with HKAS 17, the group has adopted a new policy for leasehold land and buildings held for own use. Under the new policy, the leasehold land held for own use is accounted for as being held under an operating lease where the fair value of the interest in any buildings situated on the leasehold land could be measured separately from the fair value of the leasehold land at the time the lease was first entered into by the group, or taken over from the previous lessee, or at the date of construction of those buildings, if later.
Further details of the new policy are set out in note 2(d). Any buildings held for own use which are situated on such land leases continue to be presented as part of property, plant and equipment.
(b) Bills discounted with recourse
In prior years, discounted bills with recourse were net off with trade receivables and disclosed as contingent liabilities.
With effect from 1 April 2005, in order to comply with HKAS 32, the group has adopted a new policy for discounted bills with recourse. Under the new policy, the discounted bills are accounted for as financial liability.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities are exposed to the following risks:
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from debt borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest-rate risk whilst borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest-rate risk. Details of the Group borrowings have been disclosed in note 24 to the financial statements.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Group mainly operates in mainland China, the USA, Germany and Hong Kong. Most of the Group’s transactions, assets and liabilities are dominated in Renminbi, United States Dollars, Euro Dollars and Hong Kong Dollars.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Group manages its foreign risks by performing regular review and monitoring its foreign exchange exposures.
(c) Credit risk
The Group has policies in place to ensure that the sales of products are made to customers with appropriate credit history and the Group performs credit evaluation of its customers. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on a going basis.
(d) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
The Group management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
(b) Impairment of assets
The Group tests annually whether assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units have been determined on the value-in-use calculation. These calculations require use of estimate.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s geographical segments. Information related to geographical segments based on the location of external customers is chosen because it is more relevant to the Group internal financial reporting. The Group has two business segments, namely the design and manufacture of electrical appliances and the trading of merchandise. No further business segment information is presented as over 90% of the Group’s consolidated turnover, results and assets are related to the design and manufacture of electrical appliances.
The following table presents segment revenue, segment assets and capital expenditure information for the Group’s geographical segments.

(B) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1) GENERAL INFORMATION
Ancen Properties Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in Hong Kong. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 17/F., Shing Lee Commercial Building, 6-12 Wing Kut Street, Central, Hong Kong. Its principal activity is investment holding. The principal activity of the subsidiary is real estate development.
2) PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.
(b) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements for each of the three years ended 31 March 2004, 2005 and 2006 comprise the Company and its subsidiary (together referred to as the “Group”). The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is the historical cost basis.
(c) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary, in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, is a company in which the group, directly or indirectly, holds more than half of the issued share capital or controls more than half the voting power or controls the composition of the board of directors. Subsidiaries are considered to be controlled if the company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their activities.
An investment in a controlled subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
In the company’s balance sheet, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses.
66
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ANCEN PROPERTIES
APPENDIX II
2) PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(d) Impairment of assets
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
-
property, plant and equipment;
-
pre-paid interests in leasehold land classified as being held under an operating lease;
-
Intangible assets
-
investment in associates and joint ventures (except for those classified as held for sale or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale); and
-
– goodwill.
If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for goodwill, intangible assets that are not yet available for use and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.
An impairment loss is recognised in income statement whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.
(e) Property development
The cost of acquiring land held under operating leases is amortised on a straight line basis over the lease term. If the property is in the course of development or redevelopment the amortisation charge is included as part of the costs of the property under development.
–
completed property held for sale
In the case of completed properties developed by the group, cost is determined by apportionment of the total development costs for that development project, attributable to the unsold properties. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less costs to be incurred in selling the property. The cost of completed properties held for sale comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
(f) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts, except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement. Cash equivalents include investments and advances denominated in foreign currencies provided that they fulfill the above criteria.
67
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ANCEN PROPERTIES
APPENDIX II
2) PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(h) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(i) Income tax
Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in income statement except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity, in which case they are recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credit. Apart from differences which arise on initial recognition of assets and liabilities, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
(j) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the group or the company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in income statement as follows:
-
(i) Revenue arising from the sale of properties held for sale is recognised upon the signing of the sale and purchase agreement or the issue of an occupation permit by the relevant government authorities, whichever is the later. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to the date of revenue recognition are included in the balance sheet under forward sales deposits and instalments received; and
-
(ii) Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

APPENDIX II
2) PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(l) Translation of foreign currencies
The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. The subsidiary’s functional currency is Renminbi (“RMB”).
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in income statement.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. The results of foreign operations are translated into HKD at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
(m) Related parties
For the purposes of the Financial Information, parties are considered to be related to the group if the group has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the group and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/ or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the company where those parties are individuals, and postemployment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the company or of any entity that is a related party of the company.
(n) Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans.
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
3) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
a) Impairment of assets
The Group tests annually whether assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units have been determined on the value-in-use calculation. These calculations require use of estimate.
69
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ANCEN PROPERTIES
APPENDIX II
3) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued)
b) Impairment of properties held for sale
The Group makes impairment losses on properties held for sale based on an assessment of the net realisable value of the properties held for sale. Impairments are applied where events or changes in circumstances indicates that the net realizable value is less than cost. The determination of net realisable value requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimates, such difference will impact carrying value and impairments expenses in the period in which such estimate has been charged.
c) Taxation
The Group is subject to taxation in mainland China. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for tax and the timing of payment of the related tax. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the cost of sales, income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
4) TURNOVER AND REVENUE
Turnover represents income recognised on the sale of properties held for sale.
An analysis of turnover and other revenue is as follows:

Our valuations have been prepared in accordance with “The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005)” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, the relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Main Board).
Property Categorisation
In the course of our valuations, we have categorized the property interests of the properties in concern into the following two groups:
Group I
Property in Group I is completed property to be held by the Group for investment purpose. For the purpose of our valuation, completed property intends to mean the relevant Construction Works Completion Inspection Report and/or Occupation Permit of the building(s) thereof has/have been issued by the relevant government department(s).

Our valuation has been made on the basis that the property will be developed and completed in accordance with the Group’s latest development proposals and/or the planning approvals as of the Valuation Date made available to us.
Valuation Method
Unless otherwise stated, we have valued the property interests of the properties in concern by adopting the comparison method of valuation on the assumption that the each property can be sold with the benefit of vacant possession. Comparisons based on prices realized on actual sales or offerings of comparable properties have been made. Comparable properties with similar sizes, character, location and so on are analyzed and carefully weighted against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the properties in order to arrive at the fair comparison of values.
Title Investigation
The properties are located in the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”) and we have been given extracted copies of relevant title documents. We have not checked title to the properties nor scrutinized the original title documents, however. We have relied on the advice given by the Group and its legal adviser on the laws of the PRC, Guangdong Guanxin Law Firm (廣東莞信律師事務所 ) (referred to as the “PRC Legal Advisors”) regarding title to the property interests of the properties. For the purpose of our valuation, we have taken into account the legal opinion of the PRC Legal Advisors. While we have exercised our professional judgement in arriving at our valuations, you are urged to consider our valuation assumptions with caution.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
Valuation Assumption
Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the property interests of the properties can be sold in the prevailing market in their existing state without the effect of any deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which might serve to affect the values of the property interests of the properties. In addition, no account has been taken into of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property interests of the properties, and no allowance is made for the property interests of the properties to be sold to a single party and/or as a portfolio or portfolios.
In valuing the property interests of the properties, we have assumed that the owner(s) of the property interests have free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the properties during the whole of the respective unexpired land-use rights terms granted subject to the payment of land-use rights grant fees.
For the property interests of the property in Group II, no site investigation has been carried out to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development to be erected thereon. Our valuation is carried out on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. We have also assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the proposals have been or will be granted without onerous conditions or delay.
Other special assumptions for each of the property interests of the property have been stated in the footnotes of the valuation certificate for the respective property, if any.
Valuation Consideration
We have inspected the exterior, and wherever possible the interior of the properties included in the attached valuation certificate. During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defect. However, no structural survey nor test on any of the services has been made and we are therefore unable to report as to whether the properties in concern are free from rot, infestation or other structural or nonstructural defect.
Having examined all relevant documentation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group, particularly in respect of planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, land-use rights, site areas, gross floor areas and usable areas, development costs and in the identification of the properties.
In determining the optimum development potential of the property interests of the property in Group II, we have referred to the definitions of total gross floor area and plot ratio calculations as regulated under urban planning standards in the PRC. Total gross floor area includes substructure and superstructure of the proposed property development to be erected. In assessing the maximum permitted gross floor area of a proposed property development, carport and ancillary facilities on basement as well as refuge floor, stairhood and lift space above ground are excluded from plot ratio calculation.

APPENDIX IV
Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information made available to us and we have been advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information so given.
We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the site/floor areas in respect of the properties in concern but we have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct.
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests of the properties being valued for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the property interests of the properties are free from any encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could serve to affect their values.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated herein are in the currency of Renminbi (“RMB”).
