Annual Report 2012
- For identification purpose only
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

31/F, Gloucester Tower The Landmark 11 Pedder Street Central Hong Kong
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CHINA AU GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
We were engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of China AU Group Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “ Group ”) set out on pages 37 to 107, which comprise the consolidated and company statements of financial position at 30 June 2012, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Except for the inability to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as explained below, we conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Annual Report 2012
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
BASIS FOR DISCLAIMER OF OPINION
(1) Opening balances and corresponding figures
Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011 (the “ 2011 Financial Statements ”), which forms the basis for the corresponding figures presented in the current year’s consolidated financial statements, was disclaimed because of the significance of the possible effect of the limitation on the scope of our audit and the material uncertainty in relation to going concern, details of which are set out in our independent auditors’ report dated 8 June 2012. Accordingly, we were unable to form an opinion as to whether the 2011 Financial Statements gave a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 30 June 2011 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.
- (2) Scope limitation – Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries
As further explained in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are unable to obtain complete books and records of Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (the “ BSHK ”) and its subsidiaries (the “ BSHK Group ”), Clapton Holdings Limited, Blu Spa International Limited and Blu Spa Management Services Limited (collectively referred to as the “ Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”). Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.
The resulting gain on de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$155,547,000 has been recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.
Whilst the directors of the Company consider that the exclusion of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries is the best way of presenting the Group’s financial position, results and cash flows at and for the year ended 30 June 2012 under these circumstances, the exclusion of the financial position, results and cash flows of these Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements is a departure from the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.
Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence and explanations to determine whether the carrying values of the investments in the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the resulting gain on de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries were fairly stated. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group at 30 June 2012 and the loss and cash flows of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.

(3) Scope of limitation – Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
As further explained in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group recorded amounts due from and amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$288,303,000 and HK$6,246,000 respectively at 30 June 2012. The Company also recorded amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$285,268,000 at 30 June 2012 (collectively referred as to the “ Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”). The directors of the Company are of the view that the carrying values of certain amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company are not recoverable and recognised impairment losses of approximately HK$240,593,000 and HK$74,291,000 for the year ended 30 June 2012 respectively.
Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the impairment losses recognised on the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company are fairly stated. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group and the Company at 30 June 2012 and the loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.
(4) Material uncertainty relating to the Investigation
As disclosed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company made an announcement on 18 July 2012 in respect of the appointment of an independent professional firm to conduct a forensic investigation to address (i) all the issues raised by the predecessor auditors in their resignation letter dated 7 March 2012; and (ii) all the issues raised in our independent auditors’ report dated 8 June 2012 on the 2011 Financial Statements (the “ Investigation ”). Up to the date of this report, the board of directors of the Company is still in the midst of considering the findings of the Investigation. Accordingly, there were no practical audit procedures that we could perform to ascertain the completeness, validity and accuracy of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken by the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. Any adjustments or disclosures that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the accounting treatments adopted by the Group in respect of those transactions, the opening balances and prior period corresponding amounts and the related disclosures thereof in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

BASIS FOR DISCLAIMER OF OPINION (Continued)
(5) Material uncertainties relating to the going concern basis
As disclosed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$100,389,000 for the year ended 30 June 2012, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty and may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, 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 amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$47,710,000; and (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$19,586,000 granted by a company owned by an executive director (the “ Proposed Plans ”).
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to attain favourable results of the Proposed Plans.
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, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the outcomes of the Proposed Plans, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern.
DISCLAIMER 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 2012 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2012
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was 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 in Hong Kong 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 is an investment holding company and the principal activities of its principal subsidiaries are disclosed in note 37.
2. 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 HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, except for non-consolidation of certain subsidiaries of the Group as explained below. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise 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.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year’s presentation.
Going Concern basis
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$100,389,000 for the year ended 30 June 2012, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty and may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The directors of the Company (“Directors“) have given careful consideration to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of finance in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern.
43
China AU Group Holdings Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2012
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Going Concern basis (Continued)
The Directors have taken the following actions to mitigate the liquidity issue faced by the Group and improve its financial position which include, but not limited to, the followings: (i) the repayment of the amount due from Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (the “BSHK”) of approximately HK$47,710,000; (ii) the extension of repayment of a loan facility of approximately HK$19,586,000 granted by a company owned by an executive Director (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, if the Proposed Plans completed successfully, the Group would be able to generate sufficient funds to meet its future working capital requirements and financial obligations when they fall due. Accordingly, the Directors 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 outcomes 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. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for possible failure of the Proposed Plans and the continuance of the Group as a going concern. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the consolidated 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. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements
Material Uncertainty relating to the Investigation
As set out in the Company‘s announcement dated 18 July 2012, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange setting out the following conditions which must be satisfied by the Company before the Stock Exchange considers any application for trading resumption:
-

Material Uncertainty relating to the Investigation (Continued)
- (d) demonstrate that the Group has adequate financial reporting procedures and internal control systems to meet the obligations under the GEM Listing Rules.
As a result, the Company had appointed RSM Nelson Wheeler Corporate Advisory Limited to conduct a forensic investigation to address (i) all the issues raised by the predecessor auditors in their resignation letter dated 7 March 2012; and (ii) all the issues raised by the Company’s current auditors in its independent auditors’ report dated 8 June 2012. Up to the date of this report, the Board is still in process of considering the findings of the Investigation. Based on the information available to the Directors up to the date of this report, the Directors consider that the accounting treatments in respect of those transactions asserted to have been undertaken by the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries (as defined below) is appropriate.
Subsidiaries not consolidated
The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the books and records maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries. However, the directors and management of certain subsidiaries of the Company, namely, the BSHK and its subsidiaries (the “BSHK Group”), Clapton Holdings Limited, Blu Spa International Limited and Blu Spa Management Services Limited (collectively referred to as the “Unconsolidated Subsidiaries”), have not provided complete documentary information and reasonable explanation in respect of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken. The Directors have not been able to obtain complete documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the accounting treatments in respect of those transactions for the year ended 30 June 2012. As such, the results, assets and liabilities of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been included into the consolidated financial statements of the Group since 1 July 2011. The resulting gain on de-consolidation, which is determined based on the net asset value of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries at 1 July 2011 of approximately HK$155,547,000, have been recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2012. Moreover, at 30 June 2012, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company of approximately HK$288,303,000 and HK$285,268,000 respectively, among which approximately HK$240,593,000 and HK$74,291,000 respectively are considered not recoverable and impairment losses have been recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2012. The Directors consider that the remaining balances of the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company of approximately HK$47,710,000 and HK$47,627,000 respectively could be recovered in full. Details of de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries are set out in note 32 to the consolidated financial statements.
Due to the significance of the operations of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, any adjustments to the transactions asserted to have been undertaken by the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries may have a significant consequential effect on the net assets of the Group as at 30 June 2012 and the results of the Group for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries not consolidated (Continued)
In the opinion of the Directors, the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2012 and for the year then ended prepared on the aforementioned basis present more fairly the results and state of affairs of the Group as a whole in light of the aforesaid incomplete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. However, the de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries from the beginning of the year were not in compliance with the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (THE “HKFRSs”)
In the current year, the Group has applied for the first time, the following new and revised standards and interpretations (collectively referred to as the “new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA which are effective for the Group’s financial year beginning on 1 July 2011. A summary of the new and revised HKFRSs adopted by the Group is set out as follows:

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
(a) Basis 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.
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.

Annual Report 2012
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2012
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued)
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.
(b) Excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of an acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost (“discount on acquisition”)
A discount on acquisition arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary or an associate represents the excess of the net fair value of an acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination. Discount on acquisition arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary is recognised immediately in profit or loss. A discount on acquisition arising on an acquisition of an associate is recognised as income in the determination of the Group’s share of results of the associate in which the investment is acquired.
(c) Inventory
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 all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to made the sales. Provision is made for inventories when they became obsolete.

(d) Impairment losses (other than goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives)
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, 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.
(e) 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% |
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 he asset) is included in the profit or loss in the year in which the item is derecognised.
(f) Intangible asset
Trademark
Trademark is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and less any identified impairment loss. The amortisation period adopted for trademark is 20 years.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(g) 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.
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.

Financial assets (Continued)
Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
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.
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.

- (g) Financial instruments (Continued)
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.
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 or 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, obligation under finance leases, amounts due to a director, amount due to related companies/a related party) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded 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.

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.
(h) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and its recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from 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 valueadd tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.
Revenue from interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.
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.
Royalty fee income are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements in related to the sale of goods when goods are delivered and title has passed.

(i) 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.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except whether 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 current 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.

(j) 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
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
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.
(k) Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in 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.

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.

(l) 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.
(m) 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.
(n) 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.

(p) 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 financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, 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 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.
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 4(f). 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.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies (Continued)
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 reporting period.

Market risk
- (i) Currency risk
For the year ended 30 June 2012, the Group mainly operate in Hong Kong and no any foreign currency risk. For the year ended 30 June 2011, the Group was 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, recognised 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.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting period are as follows:
| 2012 HK$’000 |
2011 HK$’000 |

Sensitivity analysis
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.

There would be no material impact on to the Group’s other component of equity for the years ended 30 June 2012 and 2011.
The net effect of the Group’s sensitivity to foreign currency risk was attributable to the Group’s monetary assets and liabilities with exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of reporting period.
(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 financial instruments except bank balance and other borrowing. 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 2012 would be increase/decrease by approximately HK$96,000 (2011: HK$8,400).
-
No impact to the other component of equity for the year ended 30 June 2012 and 2011.

Credit risk
As at 30 June 2012, 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 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 to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management considers that the Group’s credit risk is significant reduced.
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.
For the year ended 30 June 2011, the Group has concentration of credit risk as 94.68% of the total trade receivables were 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.
Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board 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 and the Company’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 and the Company 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.
The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values.
(d) Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position
The carrying value of financial instruments are measured at fair value at 30 June 2012 across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with the fair values of each financial instrument categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that fair value measurement.
The levels are defined as follows:
-
Level 1 (highest level): fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments.
-
Level 2: fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar financial instruments, or using valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly based on observable market date.
-
Level 3 (lowest level): fair value measured using valuation techniques in which any significant input is not based on observable market data.
At 30 June 2012, the Group had no financial instruments carried at fair value which are based on the Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers of fair value measurement between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 (2011: Nil).

Upon formation of the 中成金豐, the Joint Venturer would procure the shareholder of Utopia (the “Vendor”) to sell its 80% equity interest in the 中成金豐 to Castletop. The Joint Venturer will negotiate with Castletop and 中成金豐 on the terms and conditions of the joint development of the e-Medical Card Project with a view to enter into a formal agreement in connection therewith. A sum of HK$5,000,000 refundable earnest money (the “First Earnest Money”) was paid to the Joint Venturer by Castletop and the First Earnest Money would be transferred to the Vendor if Castletop and the Vendor entered into a formal agreement for the sales and purchase of the 80% the equity interest of 中成金豐 within 2 months from the date of the LOI, i.e. 9 February 2010.
