RESULTS

During the year under review, the Group’s revenue from continuing operations increased 9% year on year to HK$1,874 million, driven by the increasing demand for our data centre services especially from our hyperscale and cloud customers. EBITDA from continuing operations rose 15% year on year to HK$1,360 million. Underlying profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company increased 11% year on year to HK$788 million.

DIVIDEND

The directors recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK19.40 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2021. The dividend will be paid on 25 November 2021 following approval at the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The pandemic has accelerated the process of digitalisation for both businesses and consumers, and together with an increasing adoption of cloud services in Hong Kong, have led to a higher demand for the Group’s data centre services. There are two areas in particular where the Group sees continued growth for data centre services.

SUNeVision believes that the growth of the data centre industry in Hong Kong is beneficial to every participant. We are committed to providing the best infrastructure and services to our customers. At the same time, we also strongly believe in fair competition. In June 2021, SUNeVision attended the appeal court hearing against the judgment on the judicial review case regarding alleged breach of the lease restrictions by data centre operators within Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate (“TKOIE”) in subletting and sharing occupation of heavily subsidised land, and is now awaiting judgment. SUNeVision would like to stress that some TKOIE data centre operators have been operating in a way that allegedly involves subletting or permitting third parties to occupy the leased premises. This is particularly problematic because the premium paid by data centre operators within TKOIE is substantially below market price. Take for instance, the land premium charged by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (“HKSTPC”) in 2019 was HK$687 per square foot, which was significantly lower than the publicly tendered market prices in other parts of Hong Kong. SUNeVision’s data centres in Tseung Kwan O, on the other hand, are built on open tender sites with no restrictions on subletting and customer usage. SUNeVision can hence serve our customers more effectively and flexibly, and our customers will enjoy a higher degree of protection and privacy.

Firstly, the increased need for video conferencing, e-commerce, gaming and other online applications during the pandemic has increased the demand for “connectivity” capacity. The Group’s MEGA-i has benefitted from this trend, as it is one of the leading connectivity hubs in Asia housing all major internet players, telcos and cloud players. MEGA-i is the “bridge” these different players use to connect amongst themselves to serve their customers. The recent upsurge in demand for all types of consumer and business applications has made MEGA-i more critical than ever before.

Secondly, the demand for “hyperscale” capacity has increased, primarily because cloud adoption has stepped up in Asia. All major cloud players now have established strong positions in Hong Kong and have aggressive expansion plans. Within our portfolio, currently both MEGA Two and MEGA Plus are facilities that provide superior infrastructure and power density to serve the most demanding cloud players. As explained below, our new data centres in the pipeline will provide further capacity to address this demand.

Chairman’s Statement

PROSPECTS

Looking ahead, the Group has a robust pipeline for growth. The first phase of the new Tseung Kwan O data centre, MEGA IDC (TKOTL 131), will open in late 2022. Built on a dedicated site, MEGA IDC is free from any subletting restrictions, unlike the nearby industrial estates, and it will have state-of-the-art infrastructure and ultra-high power density. In addition, another new data centre in Tsuen Wan, MEGA Gateway (TWTL 428), will be opened in 2022. As recently announced, the Group will open its eighth data centre in Fanling in the second half of 2022. This facility, MEGA Fanling, is already fully committed and will be occupied by a single cloud customer. All in all, SUNeVision’s footprint will grow from the current 1.4 million square feet to nearly 3 million square feet of gross floor area (“GFA”) over the next few years. In terms of power capacity, it will quadruple from 70MW now to 280MW when the facilities in all three new sites are fully opened.

APPRECIATION

The events over the past year have brought dramatic change to the world and the way we go about our daily lives and business. In many ways, our data centres have become more critical than ever before as society and businesses become more interconnected and increasingly adopt digital technologies. I would like to close by thanking all the Directors and management, and every member of our 401 committed staff for their dedication and hard work to ensure we maintained the high levels of service demanded by our customers. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued confidence and support.

But it is not just about quantity; it is also very much about quality. The Group has launched a programme to upgrade existing data centres to ensure they are up to best-in-class standards. At MEGA-i we have been upgrading the quality of the infrastructure and substantially increasing its power density. This has enabled existing customers to expand their power usage without increasing their floor space. This has also allowed for the introduction of new customers with high-power requirement. SUNeVision is committed to constantly upgrading its facilities to ensure its customers enjoy the best infrastructure and services.

Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS REVIEW

iAdvantage

SUNeVision operates its data centre business under iAdvantage. The Group currently owns and operates five data centres in Hong Kong, and has three new sites under construction of which two are owned by the Group. iAdvantage is recognised as the preferred data centre operator to partner with in Hong Kong, being the largest, most connected, carrier-neutral and cloud-neutral data centre operator in Hong Kong, with best-in-class facilities built around the MEGA Campus (consisting of MEGA-i, MEGA Plus and MEGA Two). Customers of iAdvantage include global and regional cloud service providers, new economy players, telcos, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), large multinationals and local enterprises.

During the year under review, the Group won new customer contracts including contracts from hyperscale and cloud customers who needed to further expand their operations especially at the MEGA Campus. MEGA-i has been a key connectivity hub in Asia for many years, currently carrying around 15,000 cross-connects and interconnecting hundreds of telcos, ISPs, large enterprises, cloud service providers and new economy players within its ecosystem. The upgrade of the facility to enhance its power capacity by 40% was completed during the year under review, and customer feedback has been very positive. It is expected the enhanced power

==> picture [254 x 170] intentionally omitted <==

capacity will support future growth in the Group’s connectivity business. MEGA Plus, the newest high-tier flagship data centre located in Tseung Kwan O, continues to see increased demand from global cloud service providers and new economy players. MEGA Two strategically located in Shatin, the New Territories, serves as a critical pathway for data traffic in and out of China. During the year under review, revitalisation work on multiple floors of MEGA Two was completed to meet the rising high power-density needs of the Group’s hyperscale and cloud customers.

==> picture [254 x 169] intentionally omitted <==

Construction of the new projects is entering into the final phase and is on schedule. MEGA Gateway, the new site TWTL 428 in Tsuen Wan has approximately 200,000 square feet of GFA and is located near the Group’s existing facility JUMBO. MEGA IDC, the greenfield site TKOTL 131 in Tseung Kwan O, which is adjacent to MEGA Plus, has approximately 1.2 million square feet of GFA and will support an ultra-high IT power capacity of up to 180MW. This will be the largest data centre measured by power capacity in Hong Kong, and will give customers the advantage of being able to support their ongoing expansion needs for space and power. MEGA Gateway and Phase 1 of MEGA IDC are targeted to complete in the second and last quarter of 2022 respectively.

MEGA Fanling, the new single user data centre project announced on 7 July 2021 will be SUNeVision’s 8th data centre in Hong Kong. A major hyperscale customer has committed, under a multi-year contract, to take this facility to meet its development needs in Hong Kong and the Asia region. The Group rented an industrial building

Management Discussion and Analysis

situated in Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong which is owned by an affiliate of the major shareholder of the Company, Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited, and will invest a significant amount of capital and resources to upgrade it for data centre use. This will be the Group’s first single-user data centre fully pre-committed from inception and it will be ready-for-service in the second half of 2022. With the opening of these three new sites over the next few years, the total GFA of the Group’s data centres in Hong Kong will grow from the current 1.4 million square feet to nearly 3 million square feet. In terms of power capacity, it will quadruple from 70MW now to 280MW when the facilities in all three new sites are fully opened. The timely supply of the three new data centres and revitalisation of existing ones will continue to enable the Group to benefit from the growing demand for high-end data centre facilities in Hong Kong.

The Group was pleased to receive the CAHK STAR Awards 2020 in the category of “Innovative Data Centre Service” presented by the Communications Associations of Hong Kong (CAHK), as well as the Renewable Energy Contribution Award presented by CLP Power Hong Kong Limited. Also, the Group was honoured to receive the “2020 China IDC Industry Best Data Centre Provider (Overseas)” Award at the 15th China IDC Industry Annual Ceremony (IDCC2020). To further reduce carbon emissions, the Group was involved in the CLP Retro-Commissioning Charter programme to improve the energy efficiency of its buildings. These awards together with the energy efficiency programme are a recognition of the Group’s leading position in the data centre industry in Hong Kong, as well as demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability. The Group will continue to provide world-class data centre infrastructure and services and commit to green initiatives to enhance energy efficiency.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Super e-Network continued to work with broadband and network service providers to expand its service offerings. It has been actively pursuing new opportunities to expand its broadband and Wi-Fi solutions to different sectors.

EBITDA from continuing operations of the Group increased 15% year on year to HK$1,360 million, driven mainly by EBITDA growth from the data centre business.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of operating results

During the year under review, the Group’s revenue from continuing operations increased 9% year on year to HK$1,874 million. Revenue from data centre and IT facilities business rose 14% year on year to HK$1,746 million, which is largely a result of the continuing expansion of the Group’s existing hyperscale and cloud customers in the data centre business, and the full year contribution of new contracts signed in the second half of financial year 2019/20 and the first half of financial year 2020/21. Revenue from ELV and IT systems business decreased 29% year on year to HK$128 million, as a result of a lowered installation fee. The Group’s cost of sales increased by 7% year on year to HK$770 million, primarily due to higher depreciation charges and operating costs attributable to the expansion of the Group’s data centre facilities. Operating expenditure increased 5% year on year to HK$148 million, as more resources were deployed in selling and administration of the data centre services. Operating profit from continuing operations of the Group rose 11% year on year to HK$961 million. Operating profit from data centre and IT facilities (before corporate expenses, interest and tax) rose 14% year on year to HK$986 million and operating profit from ELV and IT systems (before corporate expenses, interest and tax) decreased 14% year on year to HK$35 million.

==> picture [254 x 183] intentionally omitted <==

Profit attributable to owners of the Company increased 1% year on year to HK$788 million. For the year ended 30 June 2020, profit attributable to owners of the Company included a fair value gain of HK$74 million as a result of the disposal of investment properties (classified as discontinued operations) completed on 6 November 2019. Excluding the effect of this fair value gain, underlying profit attributable to owners of the Company increased 11% year on year from HK$709 million to HK$788 million.

Finance costs reduced 38% year on year to HK$22 million mainly due to the lower interest rate as a result of the reduction in HIBOR.

GROUP’S EMOLUMENT POLICY

  1. General Description of the Emolument Policy and Long Term Incentive Schemes of the Group

  2. (a) Emolument Policy

The philosophy of the emolument policy of the Group is summarised as follows:

  • The Group conducts benchmarking study periodically with the market to ensure the competitiveness of the overall package

  • The Group adopts a performance driven policy so that each individual is motivated to perform to the best he/she can

  • Individual competence, contribution and responsibility are taken into account when considering the remuneration level for each staff

  • Different remuneration elements are adopted for different functions, such as commission schemes for sales and special allowances for staff working on shift, to meet the special characteristics of each function

  • The Group also offers provident fund, medical and leave benefits to provide basic coverage to staff for sickness, retirement, rest and relaxation reasons

  • Share option grants are made from time to time to better link the corporate performance as reflected in the share price performance and the contributions made by the senior staff in the intermediate to longer time frame

  • The economic factors and the affordability of the Group are taken into account in coming up with the overall remuneration budget for the Group

  • (b) Incentive Scheme

To enhance the performance culture, the Group has also adopted a discretionary bonus scheme. A couple of factors, such as the overall financial performance, the affordability of the Group and individual performance, have been taken into account before determining the payout for each individual. The payout of the bonus still remains at the sole discretion of the Group.

2. Basis of Determining Emolument to Directors

The remuneration philosophy of the Group also applies to the Directors. Apart from benchmarking against the market, the Group also looks into individual competence and contributions and the affordability of the Group in determining the exact level of remuneration for each Director. Provision in medical, provident fund and leave are made to ensure that the Executive Directors could have basic coverage in sickness and retirement as well as for rest and relaxation. Share options scheme is also in place to gain a better line of sight between the overall performance of the Group in terms of share price and the contributions made by the Directors.

PERMITTED INDEMNITY

The Amended and Restated Articles of Association provides that every Director, auditor or other officer of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against all losses or liabilities incurred or sustained by him as a Director, auditor or other officer of the Company in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favour, or in which he is acquitted. In addition, the liabilities in respect of legal action against the Directors are insured and covered by the existing directors and officers liability insurance policy of SHKP, the holding company of the Company.

NOMINATION COMMITTEE AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

The Nomination Committee was established in 2005. The Chairman of the Nomination Committee is Professor Li On-kwok, Victor, an Independent Non-Executive Director, and the other members are Mr. Cheung Wing-yui, Professor King Yeo-chi, Ambrose and Mr. Wong Kai-man. All members are Non-Executive Directors and the majority of them is Independent Non-Executive Directors.

The Nomination Committee is responsible for formulating nomination policy, and making recommendations to the Board on nomination, appointment and re-appointment of Directors and Board succession. The Nomination Committee develops selection procedures of candidates for nomination, reviews the size, structure and composition of the Board, as well as assesses the independence of the Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Nomination Committee is provided with sufficient resources to perform its duties and, where necessary, it can seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company to perform its responsibilities. The specific terms of reference of the Nomination Committee are posted on the websites of the Company and HKEx respectively.

The nomination policy of the Company (the “Nomination Policy”) was adopted by the Board in 2019 for formalising the nomination practice of the Company. It sets out the criteria and procedures for the selection, appointment and re-appointment of the Directors. Nomination procedures under the Nomination Policy include identification and nomination of qualified individuals by the Nomination Committee, and review and approval of such nominations by the Board. The Nomination Committee will consider and evaluate the potential candidates by considering various factors such as their professional expertise, industry and business experience, personal ethics and integrity, time commitments, potential contribution to board diversity, any material conflict of interest with the Group, and independence with reference to the Independence Guidelines if they will be appointed as Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Nomination Committee will then make recommendation of the suitable candidates to the Board for consideration of appointment. In cases of re-appointment of existing Directors who will retire at annual general meetings or general meetings of the Company, the Nomination Committee will review the rotation and retirement of Directors and make recommendations to the Board accordingly.

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Nomination Committee discussed and reviewed the structure, size and composition of the Board, as well as other related matters, including, among other things, the re-election of retiring Directors at the 2020 AGM. The Nomination Committee also recommended the appointment of an Independent Non-Executive Director and a member of the Corporate Governance Committee.

The Nomination Committee also established a board diversity policy (the “Diversity Policy”), which was adopted by the Board on 7 May 2013. The Diversity Policy sets out the approach to achieve diversity on the Board and the factors (including but not limited to age, gender, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skill and knowledge) to be considered in determining the optimum composition of the Board so as to contribute to the achievement of the Group’s corporate goals and strategic objectives. The Nomination Committee will from time to time review the Nomination Policy as well as the Diversity Policy to ensure their effectiveness and will discuss any revisions that may require further consideration and approval by the Board. The Nomination Committee is of the view that the current Nomination Policy and the diversity of the Board are appropriate.

In addition, the Nomination Committee reviewed the retirement and re-election of Directors at the 2021 AGM, including the re-election of those Independent Non-Executive Directors who will be subject to retirement and re-election at the 2021 AGM (the “Retiring INEDs”). The Retiring INEDs have met the Independence Guidelines and each has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant thereto. The Nomination Committee considered the biographies of the Retiring INEDs and taking into consideration their knowledge, experience, capability and various diversity aspects as set out in the Diversity Policy, the Nomination Committee is of the view that the Retiring INEDs will continue to contribute to the Board with their respective perspectives, skills and experience. Professor Li On-kwok, Victor (being one of the Retiring INEDs) has served the Company for more than nine years, and the Nomination Committee considered that his long service will not affect his exercise of independent judgment and was satisfied that he has the required integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of an Independent Non-Executive Director.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

The Board is responsible for maintaining sound and effective systems of risk management and internal control, which include financial, operational and compliance controls, to safeguard the Group’s assets and Shareholders’ interests, as well as for reviewing the effectiveness of such systems. Sound and effective systems of risk management and internal control are designed to identify and manage the risk of failure to achieve business objectives.

The Group has formulated and adopted a risk management policy (the “Policy”) that depicts the systems to effectively identify, assess, mitigate, report and monitor key business risks across all business units. The “Top-Down” approach is adopted in the Policy, which is facilitated by strong oversight exercised by the Board, the Audit Committee, the Risk Management Taskforce (the “RMTF”) and senior management in the establishment and maintenance of the Policy, framework and programme. At least on an annual basis, the RMTF identifies risks that would adversely affect the achievement of the Group’s objectives, and assesses and prioritises the identified risks according to a set of standard criteria. Risk owners are assigned for different risks and mitigation plans are then formulated by risk owners for those risks considered to be significant.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The following are the key risks that are considered to be of most significance to the Group at this time. They may adversely impact the Group’s businesses, financial conditions, results of operations and growth prospects if they are not managed effectively. These key risks are not comprehensive, and there may be other risks, in addition to those set out below, which are not known to the Group or which may not be material now but could turn out to be material in the future.

Key risks related to the Group’s businesses and to the industries in which the Group operates include:

On time completion of two new data centres and upgrade of current data centre – The Group’s operation depends on its ability to produce data hall inventory on time to meet market demand in order to maintain its market share. The Group identified critical milestones and expedited achievement through priority planning and proper resources planning to ensure on-time completion of the projects.

Competition – The Group operates in markets and industries with competition from the local and overseas rivals, which has led to pricing pressure and increased marketing costs. The Group has operated in this competitive landscape for a few years and has had to adapt its business strategies in light of the changed market conditions.

Political Stability – On a global level, US-China Trade War has already created uncertainty and gradually affected many different kinds of businesses in Hong Kong. This might have ripple effect to some of the Group’s customers and create uncertainty to the Group’s business in future.

Mitigating Principal Risks Faced by the Group

The risk management and internal control systems have been designed to operate proactively to ensure that principal risks are not only identified, measured and monitored but also mitigated. Under such systems, management staff of various departments would identify suitable internal controls and countermeasures to mitigate principal risks faced by the Group. When formulating mitigating measures, important factors such as regulatory requirements, risk appetite, adequacy and effectiveness of mitigating actions proposed, risk owners in place to implement and possibility of transferring risks to third parties were taken into consideration. The objective of these risk mitigating plans is to ensure that principal risks are well managed and governed effectively.

SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. • Annual Report 2020/21

Corporate Governance Report

The risk management process is embedded into the day-to-day operations of the Group and is an on-going process carried out by everyone in the Group. Key procedures are being established and implemented to ensure that there are appropriate and effective risk management and internal control systems which includes (a) setting core values and beliefs which form the basis of the Group’s overall risk philosophy and appetite; (b) having an organisational structure in place with defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority which hold individuals accountable for their risk management and internal control responsibilities; (c) imposing an organisational structure which provides necessary information flow for risk analysis and management decision-making; (d) imposing budgetary and management accounting controls to efficiently allocate resources and providing timely financial and operational performance indicators to manage business activities and risks; (e) ensuring effective financial reporting controls to record complete, accurate and timely accounting and management information; and (f) expanding the roles and responsibilities of the Audit Committee to include the review of risk management and internal control systems.

In addition, the Group has an Internal Audit Department which is responsible for performing independent reviews on the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems. Deficiencies in the design and implementation of such systems are identified and recommendations are proposed for improvement. Significant internal control deficiencies are reported to the RMTF, the Audit Committee and the Board on a timely basis to ensure prompt remediation actions are taken.

The Audit Committee, as delegated by the Board, discussed the risk management and internal control systems for the financial year under review with Management to ensure that Management has performed its duty to have an effective risk management and internal control systems in place. The Board ensured that the resources, staff qualifications and experience, training programmes and the budget of the Group’s accounting, internal control and financial reporting functions were adequate. The Board concluded that in general, the Group had set up control environment and installed necessary control mechanisms to monitor and correct non-compliance or material internal control defects, if any.

The Board, through the Audit Committee and with the assistance of the Internal Audit Department, has conducted an annual review on the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 and considers that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems for the financial year was effective and adequate. No significant areas of concern that may affect the financial, operational, compliance controls, and risk management functions of the Group have been identified. The systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

Procedures and internal controls for the handling and dissemination of inside information

The Group has complied with the relevant applicable requirements of the SFO and the Listing Rules in respect of dissemination of inside information. The Group has disclosed inside information to the public as soon as reasonably practicable unless the information falls within any of the Safe Harbours as provided for in the SFO.

If the Group believes that the necessary degree of confidentiality cannot be maintained or that confidentiality may have been breached, the Group would immediately disclose the information to the public. The Group is committed to ensuring that information contained in announcements and other public disclosures are not false or misleading as to a material fact or as a result of the omission of a material fact by presenting information in a clear and balanced way, which requires equal disclosure of both positive and negative facts.

SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. • Annual Report 2020/21

Independent Auditor’s Report

TO THE MEMBERS OF SUNEVISION HOLDINGS LTD. 新意網集團有限公司

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 66 to 135, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. • Annual Report 2020/21

Independent Auditor’s Report

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Capitalisation and measurement of costs of property, plant and equipment

We identified the capitalisation and measurement of costs of property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter due to the significance of the balance to the consolidated financial statements as a whole, combined with the judgments required in applying the criteria for capitalisation in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and HKAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”.

The judgments involved include assessing the costs whether it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the Group in accordance with HKAS 16.

The Group’s properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes (i.e. construction in progress) are carried at costs, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include construction costs, professional fees, and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.

As disclosed in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the addition of the Group’s property, plant and equipment amounted to HK$1,675,124,000, including addition of construction in progress amounted to approximately HK$1,643,207,000.

Our procedures in relation to the capitalisation and measurement of costs of property, plant and equipment included:

  • Understanding the management processes relating to the approval of, construction contracts and construction payments for purchase of property, plant and equipment, management’s review of capitalisation of construction costs and borrowing costs, and determination of budgeted costs to complete and estimated accruals for the construction costs at the end of the reporting period;

  • Reviewing the progress of construction in progress by referencing to the project timetable, independent architect/ engineers’ reports (if applicable) and the latest budgets and discussing with management the current status of the construction, including the costs incurred to date, the remaining critical milestones and estimated costs to complete including contract claims, and the assessment of the financial implications to the Group;

  • Reassessing the appropriateness and reperforming the calculations of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation into construction in progress with reference to HKAS 23; and

  • Checking the amounts of acquisition costs and construction costs incurred for property, plant and equipment during the year and reassessing the nature of the costs incurred and their future economic benefits associated with the costs, on a sample basis, by reference to the suppliers’ invoices, interim certificates certifying the value of work performed and other supporting documents.

Independent Auditor’s Report

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

64

SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. • Annual Report 2020/21

Independent Auditor’s Report

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matter communicated with those charged with governance, we determine that matter that was of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and is therefore the key audit matter. We describe this matter in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in the independent auditor’s report is Lee Po Chi.

Note:

Pursuant to an ordinary resolution in relation to the bonus issue of shares (with a Convertible Note alternative) passed at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 1 November 2010, 311,191,645 bonus shares of HK$0.1 each were issued on 25 November 2010 on the basis of one bonus share for every existing share held by the shareholders of the Company whose names appeared on the register of members of the Company on 1 November 2010.

Reserve arising from issuance of convertible notes was then capitalised from the Company’s share premium account for the purpose of issue of new shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. This reserve balance represented the aggregate amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding at the year end. No Convertible Notes (2020: in the amount of HK$50.00) were exercised and converted into ordinary shares (2020: 500 ordinary shares) by noteholders during the year ended 30 June 2021. As a result, the Convertible Notes in the amount of HK$172,001,633.30 (2020: HK$172,001,633.30) remained outstanding as at 30 June 2021.

The Convertible Notes are unlisted, non-transferable and irredeemable but have conversion rights entitling the noteholders to convert into an equivalent number of shares as the number of bonus shares which the noteholders would otherwise be entitled to receive under the bonus issue had the shareholder not elected for the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes do not carry voting rights at any general meeting of shareholders of the Company. The noteholders have the same right as the shareholders to receive dividend. The noteholders can exercise the conversion rights at any time after the issue of the Convertible Notes, subject to the terms and conditions of the deed poll constituting the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes were recognised as equity and are presented in reserves as “reserve arising from issuance of convertible notes”.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. GENERAL

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law (1998 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and its shares are listed on the main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). Its ultimate holding company is SHKP, a company incorporated in Hong Kong with its shares listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange and its immediate holding company is Sunco Resources Limited. The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the “Corporate Information” section of the annual report.

The Company is an investment holding company. The activities of its principal subsidiaries are set out in note 38.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), which is same as the functional currency of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of the fact that the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by HK$371,251,000 as at 30 June 2021. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Group has a number of sources of finance available to fund its operations, including internal resources, available unutilised SHKP Group’s facility, or obtain additional financing from financial institutions by taking into account the fair value of the Group’s assets which are not pledged. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3. APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

Amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied the “Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards” and the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 Definition of Material Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Amendments to HKFRS 16 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions

Except as described below, the application of the “Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards” and the amendments to HKFRSs in the current year had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

  1. APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (continued)

New and amendments to HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective (continued)

Amendments to HKAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and related amendments to Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020) The amendments provide clarification and additional guidance on the assessment of right to defer settlement for at least twelve months from reporting date for classification of liabilities as current or non-current, which:

  • specify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. Specifically, the amendments clarify that:

  • (i) the classification should not be affected by management intentions or expectations to settle the liability within 12 months; and

  • (ii) if the right is conditional on the compliance with covenants, the right exists if the conditions are met at the end of the reporting period, even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date; and

  • clarify that if a liability has terms that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments, these terms do not affect its classification as current or non-current only if the entity recognises the option separately as an equity instrument applying HKAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”.

In addition, Hong Kong Interpretation 5 was revised as a consequence of the Amendments to HKAS 1 to align the corresponding wordings with no change in conclusion.

Based on the Group’s outstanding liabilities as at 30 June 2021, including the related terms and conditions stipulated in the agreements between the Group and the relevant lenders, the application of the amendments will not result in reclassification of the Group’s liabilities.

4. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1 Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the significant accounting policies set out below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, leasing transactions that are accounted for in accordance with HKFRS 16 “Leases”, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.

For financial instruments which are transacted at fair value and a valuation technique that unobservable inputs is to be used to measure fair value in subsequent periods, the valuation technique is calibrated so that at initial recognition the results of the valuation technique equals the transaction price.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2021

4. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

4.2 Significant accounting policies

  • (a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the consolidated financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with Group’s accounting policies.

All material intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary and non-controlling interests (if any) are derecognised. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary attributable to the owners of the Company.

(b) Optional concentration test

Effective from 1 July 2020, the Group can elect to apply an optional concentration test, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The gross assets under assessment exclude cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, and goodwill resulting from the effects of deferred tax liabilities. If the concentration test is met, the set of activities and assets is determined not to be a business and no further assessment is needed.

(c) Acquisition of a subsidiary not constituting a business

When the Group acquires a group of assets that do not constitute a business, the Group identifies and recognises the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by allocating the purchase price first to financial assets/ financial liabilities at the respective fair values, the remaining balance of the purchase price is then allocated to the other identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction does not give rise to goodwill or bargain purchase gain.

4.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (d) Investments in subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company.

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any identified impairment losses.

(e) Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;

  • the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or

  • the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

A contract asset represents the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with HKFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group’s unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

A contract asset and a contract liability relating to the same contract are accounted for and presented on a net basis.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations (including allocation of transaction price)

For contracts that contain more than one performance obligations (various value added services), the Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

The stand-alone selling price of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation is determined at contract inception. It represents the price at which the Group would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Group estimates it using appropriate techniques such that the transaction price ultimately allocated to any performance obligation reflects the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

4.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (e) Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) Over time revenue recognition: measurement of progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation

Output method

The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on output method, which is to recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract, that best depict the Group’s performance in transferring control of goods or services.

As a practical expedient, if the Group has a right to consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Group’s performance completed to date, the Group recognises revenue in the amount to which the Group has the right to invoice.

Input method

The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on input method, which is to recognise revenue on the basis of the Group’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation, that best depict the Group’s performance in transferring control of goods or services.

The Group recognises revenue under the following accounting policies:

The Group provides the use of data centre and information technology (“IT”) facilities and other value-added services to its customers. Such services are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs. Revenue from customers’ use of data centre and IT facilities is recognised as time lapsed or ratably over the terms of the agreement while other value-added service income is recognised over the period of service rendered as time lapsed or based on units consumed.

The Group provides maintenance services of extra-low voltage (“ELV”) and IT systems and building management services to customers. Such services are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs. Revenue relating to the maintenance services and building management services is recognised over time as time lapsed.

The Group provides installation services of ELV and IT systems to customers. Such services are satisfied over time as the Group creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Revenue is recognised for these installation services based on the stage of completion of the contract based on costs using input method.

The Group’s installation contracts include payment schedules which require stage payments over the installation period once certain specified milestones are reached. The Group requires certain customers to provide upfront deposits, when the Group receives a deposit before installation commences, this will give rise to contract liabilities at the start of a contract, until the revenue recognised on the specific contract exceeds the amount of the deposit.

A contract asset, net of contract liability related to the same contract, is recognised over the period in which the installation services are performed, the rights for consideration are conditioned on the Group’s future performance in achieving specified milestones. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Group typically transfers to trade receivables once payment certificate is received from surveyors.

Retention receivables, prior to expiration of defect liability period, are classified as contract assets, which ranges from one to two years from the date of the practical completion of the installation. The relevant amount of contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables when the defect liability period expires. The defect liability period serves as an assurance that the installation services performed comply with agreed-upon specifications and such assurance cannot be purchased separately.

4.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (f) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including leasehold properties held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes (other than construction in progress as described below) are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes (i.e. construction in progress) are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner included by management and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as the relevant categories of property, plant and equipment commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Ownership interests in leasehold land and building

When the Group makes payments for ownership interests of properties which includes both leasehold land and building elements, the entire consideration is allocated between the leasehold land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values at initial recognition. To the extent the allocation of the relevant payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as “right-of-use assets” is presented as “property, plant and equipment” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment (other than construction in progress) less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

  • (g) Leases

Definition of a lease

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application or arising from business combinations, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under HKFRS 16 at inception, modification date or acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.

The Group as a lessee

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

Non-lease components are separated from lease component and are accounted for by applying other applicable standards.

4.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (g) Leases (continued)

The Group as a lessee (continued) Right-of-use assets

The cost of right-of-use asset includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and

  • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets in which the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term are depreciated from commencement date to the end of the useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The Group presents right-of-use assets in “property, plant and equipment”, the same line item as that within which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned.

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted under HKFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable.

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease modifications

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

  • the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

  • the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

The Group as a lessee (continued)

Lease modifications (continued)

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. When the modified contract contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or nonlease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the modified contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Group as a lessor

Classification and measurement of leases

Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss 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 such costs are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term except for investment properties measured under fair value model.

Rental income which are derived from the Group’s ordinary course of business are presented as revenue.

Allocation of consideration to components of a contract

When a contract includes both leases and non-lease components, the Group applies HKFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with Customers” to allocate consideration in a contract to lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are separated from lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone selling prices.

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits received are accounted for under HKFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments from lessees.

Lease modification

Changes in considerations of lease contracts that were not part of the original terms and conditions are accounted for as lease modifications, including lease incentives provided through forgiveness or reduction of rentals.

The Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.

(h) 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 at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. 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 translation of monetary items, are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. HK$) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the headings of the exchange reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests, as appropriate).

(i) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Any specific borrowing that remain outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale is included in the general borrowing pool for calculation of capitalisation rate on general borrowings. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(j) Government grants Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Government grants relating to compensation of expenses are deducted from the related expenses.

(k) Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes and the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“MPF Scheme”) are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(l) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another HKFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries) after deducting any amount already paid.

(m) Taxation

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

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profits for the year. Taxable profits differ from profit before taxation because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The 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 recognised 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 profits. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profits nor the accounting profits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the 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. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each 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 at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Group recognises the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the lease liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

In assessing any uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Group considers whether it is probable that the relevant tax authority will accept the uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used by individual group entities in their income tax filings. If it is probable, the current and deferred taxes are determined consistently with the tax treatment in the income tax filings. If it is not probable that the relevant taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the effect of each uncertainty is reflected by using either the most likely amount or the expected value.

(n) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories is calculated using the first-in, first-out method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

(o) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised 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 market place.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (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 financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(i) Financial assets

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling; and

  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), except that at initial recognition of a financial asset the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in other comprehensive income if that equity investment is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which HKFRS 3 “Business Combinations” applies.

In addition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured at the amortised cost or FVTOCI as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets (continued)

  • (i) Amortised cost and interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired.

  • (ii) Equity instrument designated as at FVTOCI

Investment in equity instrument at FVTOCI is subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve; and are not subject to impairment assessment. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, and will be transferred to retained profits.

Dividends from this investment in equity instrument are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Dividends are included in the “other income” line item in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss (“ECL”) model on financial assets (including trade and other receivables and bank balances and deposits) and other item (including contract assets) which are subject to impairment assessment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessment are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables, unbilled revenue and contract assets. The ECL on these assets are assessed individually for debtors with significant balances or collectively with appropriate groupings.

For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

  • (o) Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets and contract assets (continued)

  • (i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;

  • significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;

  • existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;

  • an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

(ii) Definition of default

For internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group).

Irrespective of the above, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

  • (iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

  • (a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

  • (b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;

  • (c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or

  • (d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

(iv) Write-off policy

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (v) Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data and forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.

Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL for certain trade receivables/contract assets are considered on a collective basis taking into consideration past due information and relevant credit information such as forward looking macroeconomic information.

For collective assessment, the Group takes into consideration the following characteristics when formulating the grouping:

  • Past-due status;

  • Nature, size and industry of debtors; and

  • External credit ratings where available.

(i) Financial assets (continued)

Impairment of financial assets and contract assets (continued)

  • (v) Measurement and recognition of ECL (continued)

The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.

Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.

The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade receivables, unbilled revenue and contract assets where the corresponding adjustment is recognised through a loss allowance account.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

On derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the Group has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained profits.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables, bank borrowings and shareholder’s loan) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

  • (p) Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of equity instruments at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve).

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates during the vesting period, if any, is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to share option reserve.

When the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share-based payment transactions reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date, the amount previously recognised in share-based payment transactions reserve will be transferred to retained profits.

  • (q) Impairment on property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets)

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets) to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets) are estimated individually, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal 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 the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cashgenerating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate 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 recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATIONS

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the management of the Company is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and assumptions that have significant effect on the amounts of assets is discussed below:

Capitalisation and measurement of costs of property, plant and equipment

The Group’s properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes (i.e. construction in progress) are carried at costs, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include construction costs, professional fees, and, for qualifying assets, the borrowing cost capitalised.

The management has assessed the costs whether it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the Group in accordance with HKAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The management has determined the cessation and suspension of the capitalisation of borrowing costs based on the progress and status of the construction works and performed the calculations of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation into construction in progress with reference to HKAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a) Reported earnings per share

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
Earnings for the purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share 787,727 783,249
2021 2020
Number of Number of
shares shares
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of
basic earnings per share 4,054,213,115 4,048,265,163
Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares:
Share options 5,483,275 4,222,755
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of
diluted earnings per share 4,059,696,390 4,052,487,918

For the purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares is calculated after taking into account the effect of the issuance of bonus shares (with a Convertible Note alternative) in November 2010. Details of the issuance of bonus shares are set out in note 26.

The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume the exercise of certain Company’s share options because the exercise price of those share options was higher than the average market price for shares for the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020. Save as the share options mentioned above, there were no other dilutive potential ordinary shares in existence during the years ended 30 June 2021 and 2020.

(b) Underlying earnings per share

For the purposes of assessing the underlying performance of the Group, underlying earnings per share is calculated based on the underlying profit attributable to owners of the Company from continuing and discontinued operations of HK$787,727,000 (2020: HK$708,997,000), which excluded the after tax effect of increase in fair value of investment properties (included in profits from discontinued operations). A reconciliation of profit is as follows:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
Profit attributable to owners of the Company as shown in
the consolidated statement of profit or loss 787,727 783,249
Less: increase in fair value of investment properties (note 28) (74,252)
Underlying profit attributable to owners of the Company 787,727 708,997

The denominators used are the same as those detailed above for both basic and diluted reported earnings per share.

Notes:

(i) The right-of-use assets included in leasehold properties and construction in progress represent the leasehold land located in Hong Kong.

(ii) The depreciation of the leasehold land under construction in progress was fully capitalised.

For both years, the Group leases various offices and warehouses for its operations. Lease contracts are entered into for fixed term of 2 years to 3 years. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. In determining the lease term and assessing the length of the non-cancellable period, the Group applies the definition of a contract and determines the period for which the contract is enforceable.

In addition, the Group owns several leasehold properties where its data centre facilities are primarily located and office buildings. The Group is the registered owner of these property interests, including the underlying leasehold lands. Lump sum payments were made upfront to acquire these property interests. The leasehold land components of these owned properties are presented separately because the payments made can be allocated reliably.

During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group derecognised the right-of-use assets which the Group leased them from the SHKP Group of HK$142,610,000 after acquisition of leased properties through acquisition of a subsidiary from the SHKP Group. Details of the acquisition of the subsidiary are set out in note 27(a).

As at 1 July 2019, trade receivables from contracts with customers and unbilled revenue for use of data centre and IT facilities amounted to HK$148,323,000 and HK$67,597,000, respectively.

Note: It represents receivables from contracts with customers for the services provided but not yet billed. The amounts are unconditional and will be billed according to the billing arrangement agreed with the customers.

The Group allows an average credit period of 30 days to its trade customers. The following is an ageing analysis of trade receivables based on the invoice dates, net of allowance for credit losses at the end of the reporting period:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000

61 – 90 days 7,025 5,397
> 90 days 23,526 15,596
177,292 150,935

The Group’s counterparties are mainly entities in SHKP Group, well-known international institutions, local governmental institutions and sizeable companies with good credit quality. Based on past experience, the default rates of these counterparties are low.

As at 30 June 2021, included in the Group’s trade receivables balance are debtors with aggregate carrying amount of HK$77,512,000 (2020: HK$61,226,000) which are past due as at the reporting date. Out of the past due balances, HK$23,526,000 (2020: HK$15,596,000) has been past due 90 days or more and is not considered as in default because those debtors are with continuous settlements during and subsequent to the reporting period and no default history noted.

Details of impairment assessment of trade and other receivables for the year ended 30 June 2021 are set out in note 32.

29. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES (continued)

The fair values of the share options granted by the Company were determined by using the Black-Scholes model which is one of the models to estimate the fair value of a share option. The total value of the share options granted during the year ended 30 June 2021 under the 2012 Scheme amounting to approximately HK$37,131,000 (2020: HK$18,243,000) was estimated based on the following variables and assumptions:

Options
granted
Options
granted
during 2021 during 2020
Risk-free interest rate 0.61%1 0.37%
Expected volatility 42.90%2 37.70%
Expected dividend yield 2.22%3 3.06%
Expected life of the share options 5 years4 5 years

Notes:

  1. This represented the approximate yield of 5-year Exchange Fund Note traded on 5 May 2021.

  2. This represented the annualised volatility of the closing price of the shares of the Company in the year preceding the date of grant.

  3. This represented the yield of the expected dividend, being the historical dividend of the shares of the Company in the year preceding the date of grant.

  4. This was based on the assumption that there was no material difference between the expected volatility over the whole life of the share options and the historical volatility of the shares of the Company in the year preceding the date of grant.

The value of a share option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions. Any change in the variables so adopted may materially affect the estimation of the fair value of a share option.

The Group recognised total expenses of HK$18,147,000 for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: HK$12,932,000) in relation to share options granted by the Company.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders of the Company through the optimisation of debt and equity balances. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.

The capital structure of the Group mainly consists of net debt, which includes the bank borrowings and shareholder’s loan disclosed in notes 24 and 25, respectively, net of cash and cash equivalents, and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising share capital and reserves.

The Company’s management reviews the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, management considers the cost of capital and risks associated with each class of capital. Based on management’s recommendations, the Group will balance its overall capital structure.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Categories of financial instruments at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
Financial assets
Amortised cost 695,497 672,429
Equity instrument at FVTOCI 3,710 3,710
Financial liabilities
Amortised cost 11,165,281 10,053,876

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, bank balances and deposits, equity instrument at FVTOCI, trade and other payables, bank borrowings, shareholder’s loan and lease liabilities. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Currency risk

The Group has foreign currency bank balances and deposits, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. Management manages foreign exchange exposure by closely monitoring the movement of foreign currency rate.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s material foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

2021 2020
HK$’000 HK$’000
Assets
US$
– Trade and other receivables 5,138 5,863
– Bank balances and deposits 151,055 157,655
156,193 163,518
Liabilities
US$
– Trade and other payables 6,351 5,371

As most of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities are denominated in US$ and HK$ is pegged to the US$ under the Linked Exchange Rate System, the Group’s foreign currency risk exposure is not considered to be significant.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Market risk (continued)

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to bank deposits, fixed-rate shareholder’s loan (see note 25 for details of the shareholder’s loan) and lease liabilities.

The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to the impacts of rate changes on interest-bearing bank balances (see note 19 for details of bank balances and deposits) and interest-bearing bank borrowings (see note 24 for details of bank borrowings).

The Group’s exposure to (i) interest rates on bank balances is considered insignificant and; (ii) the interest rate on financial liabilities is shown in the liquidity risk management section of this note. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting period. For variable-rate bank borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis points (2020: 25 basis points) increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points (2020: 25 basis points) higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s interest on bank borrowings would increase/decrease by approximately HK$18,250,000 (2020: HK$14,675,000) and the profit after taxation would decrease/increase by approximately HK$3,903,000 (2020: HK$2,196,000) for the year ended 30 June 2021, after taking into effect of capitalisation of borrowing costs. This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings.

Credit risk and impairment assessment

Credit risk refers to the risk that the Group’s counterparties default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Group. The Group’s credit risk exposures are primarily attributable to trade receivables, unbilled revenue, other receivables and deposits paid, bank balances and deposits and contract assets. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets.

Trade receivables

In order to minimise the credit risk, management of the Group has formulated policies for determination of credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. The Group reviews the recoverable amount of the individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In addition, the Group performs impairment assessment under ECL model on trade balances individually or based on collective basis. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Other receivables and deposits

For other receivables and deposits, the management makes periodic individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables and deposits based on historical settlement records, past experience, and also quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. The management believes that there are no significant increase in credit risk of these amounts since initial recognition and the Group provided impairment based on 12m ECL. For the year ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, the Group assessed the ECL for other receivables and deposits are not significant and thus no loss allowance (2020: nil) is recognised.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) Credit risk and impairment assessment (continued)

Bank balances and deposits

The credit risk on the Group’s bank balances and deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The Group does not have significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables consist of a number of customers and spread across diverse industries.

The Group’s internal credit risk grading assessment comprises the following categories.

Notes:

(i) For trade receivables, unbilled revenue and contract assets, the Group has applied simplified approach in HKFRS 9 to measure loss allowance at lifetime ECL. Except for debtors with significant outstanding balances or credit-impaired, the Group determines the ECL on these items by using a collective basis, grouped by internal credit rating based on historical repayment record and reputation.

(ii) For the purpose of internal credit risk management, the Group uses past due information to assess whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. No other receivables and deposits paid are more than 30 days past due. Based on assessment by the management of the Group, the ECL for other receivables and deposits paid is not material.

(c) Fair values

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair values of financial assets with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices; and

  • the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised costs in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values.

Fair value measurement recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position

The Group’s financial instrument that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, is categorised as Level 3 fair value measurements based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
