Annual Report 2011

  • for identification purpose only

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

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

At the request of the Company, trading in the shares of the Company has been suspended since 30 september 2011 due to the delay in publication of the Group’s final results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2011. since then, there is a change in the composition of the board of Directors (the “Board”). the current Board shall:

  • (i) try its efforts to effect a more efficient management of the Group’s business. Up to the date of this report, the Group had terminated four beauty products sale counters located at Central, tsuen Wan, tuen Mun and tseung Kwan o respectively and one spa centre located at tai Kok tsui. In addition, the Group has an intention to terminate the operations of four spa centres located at Central, Causeway Bay, West Kowloon and Cheung sha Wan respectively and the hair rejuvenating centre located at Central upon expiration of the respective tenancy agreements. Meanwhile, the operations in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) have been suspended temporarily until the restructure of the mode of operations of the Group’s business in the PRC has been completed. the Board believes that the streamline of the Group’s operations can enable the Group to concentrate its resources for the development of its existing business;

  • (ii) explore other business opportunities and re-engineer the business strategy of the Group. A new spa centre located at Causeway Bay is expected to be opened in July 2012. In addition, the Group is under negotiation with a skincare product manufacturer in France for the grant of an exclusive distribution right by the manufacturer to the Group for the sale and distribution of its skincare products in certain territories. the Group is also under negotiation with a well renowned hairstylist in the United states to cooperate by way of forming a joint venture company to develop a new line of hair and skincare products. the management believes that the possible introduction of the new line of hair and skincare products and the possible appointment as an exclusive distributor of a French brand skincare products, together with the opening of the new spa centre, will position the Group’s products and services at an high-end image and inject momentum to boost the Group’s revenue in the long run; and

  • (iii) rationalise the Group’s future cash inflow and ensure the adequacy of general working capital available for the Group’s operations. As at 30 June 2011, the Group had cash and bank balances amounted to approximately HK$1.4 million. the management had endeavoured to raise fund for the Group’s operations. on 5 August 2011, the Company completed the placing of an aggregate

of 110,000,000 new shares under general mandate at a placing price of HK$0.15 per placing share. the net proceeds of approximately HK$16.0 million from the placing had been utilized for general working capital. In view of the insufficient of general working capital, the Company had entered into two short-term loan agreements in normal commercial terms with Koffman Investment Limited (“Koffman”), of which Mr. Yu shu Kuen, an executive Director and managing Director, is the ultimate beneficial owner of Koffman, in the principal sum of HK$10 million and HK$20 million on 8 February 2012 and 27 March 2012 respectively. All the outstanding borrowings and interest expenses accrued thereon for the loan agreement entered into on 8 February 2012 had been repaid on 7 May 2012. Given the prolonged suspension in trading of the shares of the Company on the stock exchange, the Board considered that borrowings by way of debt financing to finance the Group’s operations is reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the shareholders of the Company (the “shareholders”) as a whole. In addition, to ensure the sufficiency of general working capital for the Group’s operations in the future, the Board tried its utmost effort to secure the Group’s future cash inflow. on 5 April 2012, Blu spa (Hong Kong) Limited (“BsHK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a deed of termination to terminate the sale and purchase agreement dated 30 April 2010 in relation to the proposed acquisition of 70% equity interest in the target company and the sale loan and the indirect acquisition of a piece of land situated in Hua Du, Guangzhou, the PRC, and with certain buildings thereon for the consideration of HK$80 million. Pursuant to the deed of termination, the vendor in the transaction shall repay BsHK the full amount of the refundable deposit of HK$4.5 million in cash upon signing of the deed of termination and HK$40.5 million shall be paid within three months from the date of signing of the deed of termination. In addition, the Board tried its best effort to realise the Group’s saleable assets, including but not limited to the inventories on hand, into cash in order to rationalise the future cash inflow.

on 7 March 2012, the former auditors of the Group, HLM & Co. (“HLM”), tendered their resignation as the external auditors of the Group. In view of the reasons for resignation as set out in the resignation letter issued by HLM to the Board, the Board has resolved on 7 March 2012 to establish a special investigation committee, comprising Mr. Yu shu Kuen, an executive Director, Mr. tam B Ray, Billy and Mr. Chu Kin Wang, Peleus, both are independent non-executive Directors, for the purpose of, (i) investigating the issues raised by HLM in their resignation letter; (ii) reviewing the internal control procedures and corporate governance policies of the Group; and (iii) making recommendations to the Board on appropriate actions to be taken. the special investigation committee is authorized to appoint independent professional advisers (including but not limited to accountants and legal advisers) to assist in the investigation of the issues raised by HLM in their resignation letter and to review the internal control procedures and corporate governance policies of the Group. the Company will keep shareholders informed of the progress of the investigation by making further announcements.

BASIS FOR DISCLAMER OF OPINION

(1) Scope limitation — Inventories

We were not appointed as auditors of the Company until after 30 June 2011 and thus did not observe the counting of the Group’s physical inventories at the beginning and end of the year. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2011 which are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at approximately HK$450,000 and HK$975,000, respectively. As a result, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been found necessary in respect of recorded and unrecorded inventories, and the elements making up the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of financial position.

(2) Scope limitation – Revenue and trade receivables

  • (a) Included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2011 was revenue of approximately HK$42,691,000 arising from sales to a distributor of the Group (the “ Distributor ”), revenue of approximately HK$2,107,000 arising from sales to a customer of the Group (“ Customer A ”) and revenue of approximately HK$1,007,000 arising from sales to another customer of the Group (“ Customer B ”). Included in “ Trade receivables ” in the consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2011 was trade receivable of approximately HK$114,411,000 due from the Distributor (the “ Distributor Receivable ”), trade receivable of approximately HK$2,107,000 due from Customer A (the “ Customer A Receivable ”) and trade receivable of approximately HK$1,007,000 due from Customer B (the “ Customer B Receivable ”), all of which remained outstanding up to the date of this report. Impairment losses in respect of the entire amounts of the Distributor Receivable, Customer A Receivable, Customer B Receivable at 30 June 2011 were recognised in profit or loss during the year ended 30 June 2011. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the above sales to the Distributor, Customer A and Customer B and the Distributor Receivable, Customer A Receivable and Customer B Receivable because: (i) there was inadequate documentary evidence available for us to verify the identities of the Distributor, Customer A and Customer B and the delivery of the related products; (ii) we were unable to carry out any effective confirmation procedures in relation to the above sales to the Distributor, Customer A and Customer B and the Distributor Receivables, Customer A Receivable and Customer B Receivable for the purpose of our audit; (iii) there was inadequate documentary evidence available for us to satisfy ourselves as to whether the impairment losses recognised in respect of the Distributor Receivable, Customer A Receivable and Customer B Receivable were appropriate; and (iv) there were no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to whether the above sales transactions and the Distributor Receivable, Customer A Receivable and Customer B Receivable were free from material misstatement. Any adjustments that might have been found necessary may have an effect on the Group’s net assets at 30 June 2011, its revenue and consequently net loss for the year ended 30 June 2011, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the directors of the Company also have not been able to access to the books and records. Both 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010. Due to the insufficiency in accounting information of 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 , the financial statements of 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 have not been consolidated in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011. the resulting loss on deconsolidation of approximately HK$135,000 has been recognised in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2011.

(17) Material uncertainties relating to the going concern basis

As disclosed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$185,680,000 for the year ended 30 June 2011. the validity of the going concern assumption on which the consolidated financial statements are prepared is dependent on the favorable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the refundable deposit of HK$40,500,000 from the vendor in connection with the termination of the Group’s proposed acquisition of 70% equity interest in Vertical signal Investments Limited (“ vertical ”), further details of which were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 5 April 2012; (ii) the estimated proceeds from sales of inventories amounting to approximately HK$26,600,000 (which were purchased by the Group subsequent to 30 June 2011); and (iii) the repayment and settlement of inventory prepayments from the Group’s suppliers amounting to approximately HK$34,702,000 (collectively referred to as the “ Proposed Plans ”).

the validity of the going concern assumption on which the consolidated financial statements are prepared is dependent on the success of the Proposed Plans being implemented by the Group. the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore do not include any adjustments relating to the realisation and reclassification of non-current assets that may be necessary if the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised at other than the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, the Group may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets. We consider that appropriate disclosures have been made in the consolidated financial statements. However, the material uncertainty in relation to the appropriateness of the adoption of the going concern basis is so extreme that we have disclaimed our opinion.

DISCLAMER OF OPINION

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group at 30 June 2011 and of the Group’s loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting standards and as to whether the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies ordinance.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

the Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “stock exchange”). the addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information to the annual report.

the consolidated and company financial statements are presented in units of thousands of Hong Kong dollars (HK$’000) unless otherwise stated, which is the same as the functional currency of the Group.

the Company’s principal activity is investment holding and the principal activities of its principal subsidiaries are disclosed in note 37.

2. PRIOR yEAR ADJuSTMENTS

The Company

In preparing the current’s financial statements, the following comparative financial information has been restated:

At 30 June 2010, included in the “Interests in subsidiaries” in the statement of financial position of the Company were refundable deposit for the acquisition of 70% equity interest of Vertical signal Investments Limited (“Vertical”) totaling HK$45,000,000 and an advance amounted to HK$1,000,000 to an entity for the purpose of settlement of preliminary expenses to be incurred in relation to the formation of a joint venture, namely 北京中成金豐醫療科技有限公司 (the “JV Advance”). However, the sales and purchase agreement of the acquisition of Vertical was entered into by Blu spa (Hong Kong) Limited (“BsHK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and both the deposits for acquisition of Vertical and the JV Advance were paid by BsHK. As a result, these deposits for acquisition of Vertical and the JV Advance were wrongly recorded in the books and records of the Company and prior year adjustments have been made retrospectively by restating the corresponding figures of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.

At 30 June 2010, the total effects of the prior year adjustments were stated below:

  • Interests in subsidiaries was understated by HK$46,000,000

  • Deposits was overstated by HK$46,000,000

the deposits for acquisition of Vertical and the JV Advance incurred during the year ended 30 June 2010. therefore, the opening balances of the Company at 1 July 2009 would not be affected and no restatement was made.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting standards (“HKFRss”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting standards, Hong Kong Accounting standards (“HKAss”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountant (the ”HKICPA”), and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of securities on the Growth enterprise Market of the stock exchange (the “GeM Listing Rules”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies ordinance.

the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Going Concern

these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$185,680,000 for the year ended 30 June 2011 which indicate the existence of material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. As disclosed in note 36(g), (h) and (i), the Directors of the Company have taken the following steps to generate sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital and financial obligations when they fall due: (1) the repayment of the refundable deposit of HK$40,500,000 from the vendor in connection with the termination of the Group’s proposed acquisition of 70% equity interest in Vertical signal Investments Limited (“Vertical”), further details of which were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 5 April 2012; (2) the estimated proceeds from sales of inventories amounting to approximately HK$26,600,000 (which were purchased by the Group subsequent to 30 June 2011); and (3) the repayment and settlement of inventory prepayments from the Group’s suppliers amounting to approximately HK$34,702,000 (collectively referred to as the “Proposed Plans”).

the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis on the basis that the Proposed Plans will be successfully completed.

In the opinion of the Directors of the Company, if the Proposed Plans accomplishes successfully, the Group will be able to generate sufficient funds to meet its future working capital requirements and financial obligations when they fall due. Accordingly, the Directors of the Company consider that it is appropriate to prepare these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

the applicability of the going concern basis depends on the outcome of the Proposed Plans which the eventual outcome is uncertain and the Group’s ability to generate sufficient funds to meet its future working capital requirements and financial obligations when they fall due. these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result if the Proposed Plans could not proceed successfully. If the Proposed Plans could not proceed successfully and the going concern basis was not to be appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to the financial statements to reduce the value of the assets of the Group to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities, respectively.

Deconsolidation of the PRC entities

珠海富麗花化妝品有限公司(“ 珠海富麗花 ”) and 北京富麗花譜美容有限公司(“ 北京富麗花 ”) were entities incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) of which its equity interests are held by individuals who claim to hold on behalf of the Group under the declaration of trusts (the “trusts”). the results, assets and liabilities of 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010 and in the previous financial years.

For the year ended 30 June 2011, the majority of current Directors of the Company, who were appointed subsequent to 30 June 2011, are of the opinion that due to the nature of the trusts and the current management was not able to obtain sufficient information including but not limited to the legal documents and therefore not able to satisfy themselves regarding the ownership and control over 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 . Accordingly, the financial statements of 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 were not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011.

In addition, the current management of the Company was not able to contact the accounting personnel of 珠海富麗花 and accordingly, was not able to access to the books and records of 珠 海富麗花 . In view of the lack of sufficient evidence and relevant personnel support, the Directors of the Company have also not been able to satisfy themselves regarding the completeness and accuracy of the books and records of 珠海富麗花 and determine that all transactions entered into by 珠海富麗花 for the year ended 30 June 2011 have been properly reflected. Any adjustment arising from the matter described above would have a consequential effect on the Group’s net loss for the year ended 30 June 2011 and related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

the details of the calculation of the gain (loss) on deconsolidation of 珠海富麗花 and 北京富麗花 were set out in note 32 to the consolidated financial statements.

the Group is in the process of assessing the potential impact of these new and revised HKFRss but is not yet in a position to determine whether these new HKFRss will have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. these new and revised HKFRss may results in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.

5. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES

the principal accounting policies are set out below.

(a) Basics of consolidation

Subsidiaries

subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. they are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

the Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. the consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. the consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments within the measurement period (a maximum of 12 months from the acquisition date). Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment.

For the year ended 30 June 2011

notes to tHe FInAnCIAL stAteMents

5. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(a) Basics of consolidation (Continued)

Subsidiaries (Continued)

the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated.

total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary 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.

Transactions with non-controlling interests

the Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. the fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset.

In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. this may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

notes to tHe FInAnCIAL stAteMents

For the year ended 30 June 2011

5. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(b) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. net realisable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sale proceeds less estimated cost to completion and selling expenses. Provision is made for inventories when they became obsolete.

(c) Impairment losses

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 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 in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value, using the straight line method, at the following rates per annum:

Type Basis
Plant and machinery 20%
Leasehold improvement 20%
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20%
Motor vehicles 20%

For the year ended 30 June 2011

5. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d) Property, plant and equipment (Continued)

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 derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the year in which the item is derecognised.

(e) Intangible assets

Trademark

trademark is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and less any identified impairment loss. the amortisation period adopted for intangible assets is 20 years.

(f) Financial instruments

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

Financial assets

the Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables. 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 marketplace. the accounting policies adopted in respect of such category of financial assets are set out below.

5. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(f) Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial assets (Continued)

effective interest method

the effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premium or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, deposits and other receivables and bank balances and cash) are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • (i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;

  • (ii) default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

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

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are assessed for impairment on a collective basis. objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

Impairment of financial assets (Continued)

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

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

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

Financial liabilities and equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity 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.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the asset of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. the Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified into other financial liabilities. the accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Financial liabilities and equity (Continued)

effective interest method

the effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums of discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis other than financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

other financial liabilities

other financial liabilities (including deposits from customers, accruals and other payable, other borrowing, amounts due to a director, amount due to related companies/a related party) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds issued by the Company that contain both liability and equity components are classified separately into respective liability and equity components on initial recognition. Conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s owed equity instruments is classified as an equity instrument. on initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is determined using the prevailing market interest rate of similar non-convertible debts. the difference between the gross proceeds of the issue of the convertible bonds and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the conversion option for the holder to convert the bonds into equity, is included in equity as convertible bonds — equity reserve.

In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bonds is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. the equity component, representing by the option to convert the liability component into ordinary shares of the Company, will remain in convertible bonds — equity reserve until the embedded option is exercised (in which case the balance stated in convertible bonds — equity reserve will be transferred to share capital and share premium). Where the option remains unexercised at the expiry date, the balance stated in convertible bonds — equity reserve will be released to the retained profits. no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the option.

(f) Financial instruments (Continued)

Convertible bonds (Continued)

transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. transaction costs relating to the equity component are charged directly to convertible bonds — equity reserve. transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability portion and amortised over the period of the convertible bonds using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

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

For financial liabilities, they are removed from consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in profit or loss.

(g) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Revenue from service income is recognised when services are provided. Payments that are related to service not yet rendered are shown as deposits from customers in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from the sales of beauty products and beauty equipment is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the beauty products and beauty equipment are delivered to customers. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.

Royalty fee income are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements in related to the sales of goods when goods are delivered and title has passed.

Revenue from interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.

(h) Taxation

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

the tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. taxation profit differs from profit as reported in consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. 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 profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised 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 other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

(h) Taxation (Continued)

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary differences will not 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly to equity, in which case the amount and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(i) Leasing

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

The Group as lessee

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

(j) Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

(j) Foreign currencies (Continued)

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

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) using the current rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of the translation reserve. such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

on the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss. In addition, in relation to a partial disposal that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are reattributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

(k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

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

(l) Retirement benefits costs

Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

the amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

(n) Related parties

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

  • (i) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (a) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (b) has an interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (c) has joint control over the Group;

  • (ii) the party is an associate;

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

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

  • (v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);

  • (vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or

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

(o) Contingent liabilities and assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

6. CRITICAL ACCOuNTING JuDGMENTS AND KEy SOuRCES OF ESTIMATION uNCERTAINTy

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 5, management 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 underlying 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 underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

the followings are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Useful lives and depreciation of property, plant and equipment

the Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges of its property, plant and equipment. these estimates are based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. the Group will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, and will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic review could result in a change in depreciable lives and therefore depreciation charge in the future periods.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies (Continued)

Impairment loss of trade receivables

the policy for impairment loss recognised in respect of trade receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Impairment loss of intangible assets

the Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of intangible assets in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 5(e). the recoverable amounts are determined based on value-in-use calculations. these calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions made by management on the future operation of the business, pre-tax discount rates, and other assumptions underlying the value-in-use calculations.

Net realised value of inventories

net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and variable selling expenses. these estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycle. the directors reassess the estimations at the end of each reporting period.

Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. the risks associated with these financial instruments and the polices on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. the Management manages and monitors these exposures closely to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

there has been no change to the Group’s risk exposure relating to financial instruments or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.

Market risk

(i) Currency risk

the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising primarily from fee receivables denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) and taiwan dollar (“tWD”). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations which are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. the Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign current assets and liabilities. the Group will monitor its foreign exchange exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Market risk (Continued)

  • (ii) Interest rate risk

  • Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. the Group has no significant interest bearing assets except bank balance and cash. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. the Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposures should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

If floating rates had been 5% higher/lower, the Group’s:

  • profit before tax for the year ended 30 June 2011 would not increase/decrease by approximately HK$8,400 (2010: HK$8,758).

  • no impact to the other component of equity for the year ended 30 June 2011 and 2010.

Credit risk

As at 30 June 2011, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties provided by the Group is arising from trade receivables, deposits and other receivables.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the Directors of the Company considers that the Group’s credit risk is significant reduced.

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

Credit risk (Continued)

In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. these evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates.

the Group has concentration of credit risk as 94.68% (2010: 99.63%) of the total trade receivables was due from the Group’s sole distributor in the PRC, 深圳市美麗概念貿易有 限公司 (the “Distributor”). During the year ended 30 June 2011, an impairment loss was recognised in respect of the entire carrying amount of the trade receivables due from the Distributor (note 21).

Liquidity risk

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Group’s funding and liquidity management requirements. the Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities, convertible bonds and borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, carrying out fund raising activities and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. the following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. the table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. the table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

(c) Fair value of financial instruments

the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

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

  • the fair values of derivative instruments are determined based on the quoted prices provided by the securities’ broker; 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 using the estimated future cash flows and the current market rate of return.
