2 China Fortune Financial Group Limited / Annual Report 2012

CHAIRMAN’s sTATEMENT

Over the past year, the global economy has undergone tremendous changes. The debt crisis in Greece triggered a series of downgrading of credit ratings in other European countries, including Portugal and Spain, which resulted in a steep downturn of the world economy, making a real dent in global trade and investment markets. With the strenuous efforts from the finance ministers of various countries, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the debt crisis was finally tamed and the economy was back on track.

Amidst such volatility, China Fortune Financial Group Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “ Group ”) advanced its business reorganization that bears a profound impact in a low profile. In August, our Company was officially renamed as “China Fortune Financial Group Limited” to further ascertain our strategic direction of “targeting the needs of small and medium-sized capital markets in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”) to devote ourselves to the development of financial business”.

During the period, we have strived to perfect the financial platform that is taking shape and optimize the service industry chains, including the acquisition of Fortune Financial Capital Limited (“ Fortune Financial Capital ”) (formerly known as Athens Capital Limited), a company that provides corporate financing services, and the establishment of a fund management company in Tianjin, the PRC. Meanwhile, we also strengthened the operation of Fortune Wealth Management Limited, a company that provides personal wealth management services in Hong Kong; and incorporated Fortune Finance Limited to help small and medium enterprises to overcome their difficulties by providing money lending services.

In order to enhance the efficacy of resource allocation, we sold Excalibur Futures Limited, and discontinued the operation of China Fortune Group Strategic Investment Company Limited in Shenzhen during the year.

The business integration more clearly defines our future direction of “targeting the needs of small and mediumsized capital markets in Hong Kong and the PRC to devote ourselves to the development of financial business”.

Looking ahead to the coming year, the global financial market remains clouded in uncertainties, which is expected to drag down the scale of loans provided by financial institutions, leaving small and medium enterprises continue to struggle with capital inadequacy. The Group maintains a prudent and optimistic attitude and is in the hope of grasping the chances to pave a road to a win-win situation. We will offer our customers with flexible one-stop financial services by providing asset management and private equity investment services, acting as a financial advisor and granting loans.

With our strong presence in Tianjin and Shenzhen, cities that are taking the lead in the economic development in the PRC, we are able to identify potential privately-run enterprises in both cities and across the nation, and assist them to go public in Hong Kong by offering them full support in terms of capital, technologies and talents.

In addition, the prosperous development of the Chinese economy has sharply increased the number of high net worth individuals in the Mainland. Therefore, we strongly believe that the wealth management market will be entering a stage of turbocharged development. We will study the needs of mainland entrepreneurs and high net worth clients to provide investment immigration services or fund investment programs for them, in a bid to extend our businesses to cover more diverse dimensions, thus creating stable income and cash flow.

CHAIRMAN’s sTATEMENT

Leveraging on the advantages of our Chinese-funded background and Hong Kong capital market-rooted operation, as well as our financial service platforms in Hong Kong and the PRC, the Group expects to make remarkable achievements by catching up with the pace of high-speed economic development in the PRC.

After a year of temporary dormancy, the Group is now ready to make unrelenting efforts in the future and vigorously promote various financial businesses, aiming to become one of the pivotal players in the financial business of Greater China region with a substantial market share and to generate significant returns for our Company’s shareholders (the “ shareholders ”).

RESULTS

Loss of approximately HK$5,701,000 for the year ended 31 March 2012 (2011: approximately HK$32,618,000) was recorded from the discontinued operations following the disposal of the entire equity interest in Excalibur Futures Limited (“ EFL ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ EFL Group ”) on 29 July 2011. Due to the reduction of brokerage commission income, the impairment of account receivables and net loss on trading of listed securities, the Group’s loss attributable to the owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$69,602,000 (2011: approximately HK$65,370,000).

During the year under review, the Group has further diversified its business by provision of corporate consultancy services and money lending services. In November 2011, the Group has completed the acquisition of 80% of equity interests in a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, Fortune Financial Capital, which contributed turnover of approximately HK$2,328,000 to the Group during the period. In December 2011, the Group acquired of 35% equity interest in the finance lease operation as disclosed under “ Material Acquisitions or Disposals ” in order to develop the finance lease industry in the PRC.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Broking and margin financing

For the year ended 31 March 2012, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$48,011,000 from broking and margin financing business, representing a decrease of 26.11% as compared to the revenue of approximately HK$64,977,000 last year. Such decrease in revenue was attributable to the instability in global financial markets, volatility in both the Hong Kong and the PRC stock markets and the completion of disposal of Excalibur Securities Limited (“ ESL ”) on 20 January 2011.

The Group’s strategy is to focus and strengthen existing securities operation and work in close collaboration with our Shenzhen representative office to explore cross border business opportunities in securities trading and placement.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Money lending

During the year under review, the Group has diversified its business by provision of money lending services. The Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$7,841,000 from money lending business for the year ended 31 March 2012.

Other businesses

For the year ended 31 March 2012, the Group recorded revenue from other business operations in the areas of financial communication service of approximately HK$6,390,000, representing an increase of 85.43% as compared to the revenue of approximately HK$3,446,000 last year. The Group aims to provide our clients with diversified products and services to suit their varying needs.

The Group expects these businesses could contribute steady income with satisfactory return in the long run.

Discontinued operations

The Group proposed to dispose the entire equity interest in EFL Group in July 2011. The future brokerage business carried by EFL Group up to the 31 March 2012 and loss of approximately HK$5,701,000 for the year ended 31 March 2012 are presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as discontinued operations. The disposal was subsequently completed in May 2012.

PROSPECTS

The extreme volatility in the global financial market has put the PRC in the spot light as an engine to facilitate the economic growth of other countries. As one of the key financial hub of the PRC, Hong Kong plays a pivotal role and also offers a rare opportunity for the Group.

During the year under review, the Company, officially renamed as “China Fortune Financial Group Limited”, has focused on the development of financial services business, particularly in the small and medium-sized capital markets in Hong Kong and the PRC. Capitalizing on the rich experience and vision of the management, we expect the Group will gradually get involved into a financial field featuring comprehensiveness and professionalism in order to provide our clients more diversified and qualified financial services. The Group’s goal is to become a major participant in the financial service sector of Hong Kong.

To seize various business opportunities amidst high-speed economic growth in the PRC, the Group is establishing related networks and connections across the country, which is destined to switch our business to top gear.

One of the business priorities is to establish asset management venture in the PRC, further capitalising our investments in the area. In November 2011, we have completed the acquisition of Fortune Financial Capital, so as to provide financial advisory and independent financial advisory services to corporate clients in Greater China region.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Moreover, in light of the excessive demands of small and medium enterprises for financing that cannot be satisfied by Chinese bank loans, the Group has been engaging into the small loan and finance lease sectors at the end of 2011, and extending the highly lucrative alternative financing market. Through acquisition of and capital injection in Measure Up International Limited, the Group has engaged in finance lease related business in and around Shanghai, which is expected to increase our revenue sources and be conducive to the long-term development.

Looking ahead, the Group will consolidate and perfect the existing securities investment related services. Meanwhile, we proactively identify new business opportunities in light of the current situation, so as to pursue a greater return for Shareholders.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

1. GENERAL

China Fortune Financial Group Limited (the “ Company ”), formerly known as China Fortune Group Limited and renamed as China Fortune Financial Group Limited on 22 August 2011, was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. The shares of the Company are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”).

The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information section of the annual report.

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

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”) are securities, futures and insurance brokerage, margin financing, provision of corporate finance services and money lending services.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (Continued)

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as part of Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010)

The amendments to HKAS 1 (as part of improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010) clarify that an entity may choose to disclose an analysis of other comprehensive income by item in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. In the current year, for each component of equity, the Group has chosen to present such an analysis in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Such amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements have been modified to reflect the change.

Amendments to HKFRS 3 Business Combination (as part of improvements of HKFRSs issued in 2010)

As part of Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010, HKFRS 3 was amended to clarify that the measurement choice regarding non-controlling interests at the date of acquisition is only available in respect of noncontrolling interests that are present ownership interests and that entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation. All other types of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by other standards.

Such amendments to HKFRS 3 have been applied in the current year and have affected the accounting for the acquisition of subsidiaries in the current year. The non-controlling interests were measured at their acquisition-date fair value at the date of acquisition of those subsidiaries.

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets

The amendments to HKFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. The amendments also require disclosures where transfers of financial assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period.

The Directors of the Company (the “Directors”) anticipate that the application of the amendments to HKFRS 7 will affect the Group’s disclosure regarding transfers of financial assets in the future.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (Continued)

Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offsetting requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realisation and settlement”.

The amendments to HKFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

The amended offsetting disclosures are required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures should also be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods. However, the amendments to HKAS 32 are not effective until annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application required.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition. Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described as follows:

– HKFRS 9 requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

– The most significant effect of HKFRS 9 regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the presentation of changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated as at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”)) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)

HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier application permitted.

The Directors are in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of HKFRS 9 and the directors of the Company anticipate that the adoption of HKFRS 9 in the future may have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

New and revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011). Key requirements of these fives standards are described below.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and Hong Kong (Standing Interpretation Committee) (“ HK(SIC) ”) – Int 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and HK(SIC) – Int 13 Jointly Controlled Entities – NonMonetary Contributions by Venturers. HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. Under HKFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three types of joints arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting.

HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structure entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

These five standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five standards are applied early at the same times.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (Continued)

New and revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures (Continued)

The Directors anticipate that these five standards will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 April 2013. The application of these five standards may have significant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors have not yet performed a detailed analysis of the impact of the application of these standards and hence have not yet quantified the extent of the impact.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The Directors anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 April 2013 and that the application of the new Standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Amendment to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the time basis.

The amendments to HKAS 1 are effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

The Directors anticipate that the application of other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Group and of the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of consideration given in exchange for goods.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein.

Allocation of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

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.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

50 China Fortune Financial Group Limited / Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(a) Basis of consolidation (Continued)

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries (Continued) When the Group loses control of subsidiaries, it (i) derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, (ii) derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests in the former subsidiaries at the date when control is lost (including any components of other comprehensive income attributable to them), and (iii) recognises the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest, with any resulting difference being recognise as a gain or loss in profit or loss attributable to the Group. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earning as specified by applicable HKFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in jointly-controlled entity.

(b)

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisitiondate fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes and HKAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;

  • liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date (see the accounting policy below); and

  • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(b) Business combinations (Continued)

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquire (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another Standard.

Investments in subsidiaries

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

(c) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefits from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill rising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Year Ended 31 March 2012

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(c) Goodwill (Continued)

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

(d) Interests in jointly controlled entities

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control (i.e. when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control).

Jointly-controlled entities

Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly-controlled entities.

The results and assets and liabilities of jointly-controlled entities are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in jointly controlled entities are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the jointly-controlled entities. When the Group’s share of losses of a jointly-controlled entity equals or exceeds its interest in that jointly-controlled entity (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the jointly-controlled entity), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that jointly-controlled entity.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a jointly-controlled entity recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.

Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The requirements of HKAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in a jointly-controlled entity. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with HKAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d) Interests in jointly-controlled entities (Continued)

Jointly-controlled entities (Continued)

When a group entity transacts with its jointly-controlled entity, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the jointly-controlled entity are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the jointly-controlled entity that are not related to the Group.

(e) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business.

Commission income for brokerage business of securities and futures dealing are recognised on a trade date basis when the services are provided.

Insurance brokerage/commission income/consultancy service income/underwriting commission income/ placing commission income/securities handling income/advisory and other corporate finance service income are recognised when the services are provided.

Realised fair value gains or losses on securities trading are recognised on a trade date basis whilst unrealised fair value gains or losses are recognised on change in fair value at the end of the reporting period.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(f) Revenue recognition (Continued)

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).

(g) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment held for use in the supply of services, or for administrative purpose are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of 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 disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit and loss.

(h) Club membership debentures and other non-current assets

Club membership debentures represent unlisted membership debentures and other non-current assets represent the deposits paid to respective regulatory bodies in carrying out its principal activities. The club membership debentures and other non-current assets are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment loss.

(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 lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating lease, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

(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 exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated 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 on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of translation reserve.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on an acquisition of a foreign operation on or after 1 January 2005 are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign operation and retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in equity under the heading of translation reserve.

(k)

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to the stated-managed retirement benefits scheme/the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are charged as an expense when the employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(l) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

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

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(m) Taxation

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

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. 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 base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such 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 interests in jointly-controlled entities, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (or tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. When current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(n) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately and with finite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets below).

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Alternatively, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets below).

Derecognition of intangible assets

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Bank balances and cash in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at bank – general and cash on hand. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, as defined above.

(p) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position 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.

(p) Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”), loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial asset and is determined at the time of initial recognition. 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.

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 paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL, of which interest income is included in net gains or losses.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at FVTPL has two subcategories, including financial assets held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; or

  • it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminated or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping provided internally on that basis; or

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (Continued)

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with change in fair value arising from remeasurement recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss excludes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including, trade receivables, loan receivables, amounts due from jointly-controlled entities, amount due from an investee company, other receivables and deposits, investment deposits, amount due from a noncontrolling interest shareholder of a subsidiary and bank and cash balances – trust and general) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at FVTPL or loan and receivables.

For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment loss on financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be 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.

For available-for-sale equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or

Impairment loss on financial assets (Continued)

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or

  • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, 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 credit period, 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 and other receivables, loan receivables and amount due from an investee company, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When trade and other receivable, loan receivables and amount due from an investee company are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to 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 losses 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.

(p) Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities 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 entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

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

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.

Interest expenses are recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at FVTPL are designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition.

A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value arising on remeasurement recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss excludes any interest paid on the financial liabilities.

Upon redemption of the financial liabilities at FVTPL, difference between the fair value at the redemption date and the redemption consideration will be recognised directly in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including trade payables, other payables and accruals, and bank and other borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Convertible loan notes contains liability and equity components

Convertible loan notes issued by the Group that contains both the liability and conversion option components are classified separately into respective items on initial recognition in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. 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 own 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 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 loan notes into equity, is included in equity (convertible loan notes equity reserve).

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

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible loan notes 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 equity. 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 loan notes using the effective interest method.

Convertible loan notes contains liability, equity components and conversion derivative Convertible loan notes issued by the Group that contain the liability, conversion option and derivative (which is not closely related to the host liability component) are classified separately into respective items 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 own equity instruments is classified as an equity instrument. At the date of issue, both the liability and derivative components are measured at fair value. The difference between the gross proceeds of the issue of the convertible loan notes and the fair values assigned to the liability and derivative respectively, representing the conversion option for the holder to convert the loan notes into equity, is included in equity (convertible loan notes equity reserve).

In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible loan notes is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The derivative component is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

The equity component, representing the option to convert the liability component into ordinary shares of the Company, will remain in convertible loan notes equity reserve until the embedded option is exercised (in which case the balance stated in convertible loan notes reserve will be transferred to share premium). Where the option remains unexercised at the expiry date, the balance stated in convertible loan notes equity reserve will be released to accumulated losses. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the option.

Upon redemption of the convertible bonds, the redemption consideration will be allocated to the liability component and equity component using the same allocation basis as when the convertible bonds were originally issued.

Differences between the fair value and the carrying amount of the liability component will be recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The difference between the redemption consideration and the fair value of the equity component will be included in equity (convertible loan notes equity reserve) and released to accumulated losses.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible loan notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transactions costs relating to the equity component are charged directly to equity. Transaction costs relating to conversion derivative are charged to profit or loss immediately. 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 loan notes using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

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

Embedded derivatives

Derivative embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognises and associated liability. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised 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 and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

(q) 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 that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at 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 obligations, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Share options granted to directors and employees of the Company after 7 November 2002 and vested on or after 1 January 2005

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is recognised as an expense in full at the grant date when the share options granted vest immediately, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve).

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

When the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

(s) Share warrants granted to consultants

Share warrants were issued to the financial consultants of the Company in exchange for services are measured at the fair values of the services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the services received are measured by reference to the fair value of the share warrants granted. The fair values of the services received are recognised as expenses with a corresponding increase in equity (share warrants reserve), when the counterparties render services, unless the services qualify for recognition as assets.

When the share warrants are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share warrants reserve will be transferred to share premium.

(t) Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (see accounting policy in respect of goodwill above)

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 any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

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 (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately in profit or loss.

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of the Company are required to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and 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.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Estimated impairment loss of trade and loan receivables

The policy for impairment loss in respect of trade and loan receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability, ageing analysis of accounts, the value of underlying collaterals and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including creditworthiness and the past collection history of those client in default of settlement. If the financial conditions of debtors and their ability to make payment worsen, additional allowance may be required.

As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of trade receivables is approximately HK$210,405,000 (2011: HK$331,887,000), net of accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$72,989,000 (2011: HK$16,495,000).

As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of loan receivables is approximately HK$55,270,000 (2011: HK$150,420,000) and no impairment loss has been recognised (2011: nil).

Impairment loss recognised in respect of other receivables, deposits and prepayments

The policy for impairment losses in respect of other receivables, deposits and prepayments of the Group are based on the estimation of future cash flow. The amount of the impairment losses is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment losses may arise.

As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of other receivables, deposits and prepayments is approximately HK$6,566,000 (2011: HK$26,782,000), net of accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$4,416,000 (2011: HK$4,431,000).

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued)

Useful lives and impairment assessment of plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and identified impairment losses. The estimation of useful lives impacts the level of annual depreciation expenses recorded. Plant and equipment are evaluated for possible impairment on a specific assets basis or in groups of similar assets, as applicable. This process requires management’s evaluation of future cash flows generated by each asset or group of assets. For any instance where this evaluation process indicates impairment, the relevant asset’s carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount and the amount of the written-down is charged against the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of plant and equipment is approximately HK$11,588,000 (2011: HK$9,258,000) and no impairment loss has been recognised as at 31 March 2012 (2011: nil).

Impairment of intangible assets

The Group determines whether an asset is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of cash-generating units to which the asset is allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. A change in the estimated future cash flows and/or the discount rate applied will result in an adjustment to the estimated impairment provision previously made. As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of intangible asset is nil (2011: HK$2,741,000), net of accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$2,261,000 (2011: HK$15,333,000).

Impairment of jointly-controlled entities

The Group determines whether the interest in jointly-controlled entities is impaired required an estimation of the future cash flows expected to arise and the expected dividend yield from the jointly-controlled entities in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, impairment loss may arise. As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of interest in jointly-controlled entities is approximately HK$8,238,000 (2011: nil) and no impairment loss has been recognised (2011: nil).

Impairment of club membership debentures

The Group determines the impairment loss if circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. The Group considers information from current prices in the second-hand market in determining the fair value of such assets and uses assumptions that are mainly based on current market conditions. As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of club membership debentures is approximately HK$6,610,000 (2011: nil) and no impairment loss has been recognised (2011: nil).

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued)

Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

The Group determines the impairment loss if circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the assets are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to level of sales revenue and related costs. The Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales revenue and amount of the related costs.

As at 31 March 2012, the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets is approximately HK$1,448,000 (2011: HK$1,948,000), net of accumulated impairment losses of HK$1,754,000 (2011: HK$1,254,000).

Fair value of convertible instruments designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and fair value of convertible loan notes

The fair values of the convertible instruments and convertible loan notes involve assumptions on the issuer’s credit spread, discount rate, expected credit rating and future cash flows. Should these assumptions change, there would be material change to the fair value. The carrying amount of convertible instruments designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is approximately HK$60,317,000 as at 31 March 2012 (2011: HK$2,106,000). The carrying amount of convertible loan notes is approximately HK$71,470,000 as at 31 March 2012 (2011: HK$86,231,000).

Fair value of derivatives

The directors of the Company use their judgement in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments not quoted in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For derivative financial instrument, assumptions are made based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instrument. The carrying amounts of derivative asset component of convertible loan notes and derivative liability component of convertible loan notes are approximately HK$4,924,000 and HK$7,359,000 respectively (2011: carrying amounts of derivative liability component of convertible loan notes is approximately HK$60,221,000).

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes bank and other borrowings disclosed in note 35, guaranteed exchangeable notes disclosed in note 36 and convertible loan notes disclosed in note 39, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to the owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of the Company review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the directors of the Company consider the cost of capital and the associated risks with each class of capital, and take appropriate actions to adjust the Group’s capital structure. The overall strategy of the Group remained unchanged during the two years ended 31 March 2012 and 2011.

Several subsidiaries of the Group (the “ Regulated Subsidiaries ”) are licensed with Securities and Futures Commission (“ SFC ”) for the business they operate in. The Regulated Subsidiaries are subject to liquid capital requirements under HKSF(FR)R adopted by the SFC. Under the HKSF(FR)R, these Regulated Subsidiaries must maintain their liquid capital (assets and liabilities adjusted as determined by HKSF(FR)R) in excess of HK$3,000,000 or 5% of their total adjusted liabilities, whichever is higher. The required information is filed with the SFC on a monthly basis.

Another subsidiary of the Group is a member of the Professional Insurance Brokers Association Limited and is required to maintain a minimum net asset value of HK$100,000 at all times.

The directors of the Company monitor the capital structure of the Group and ensure compliance with the above capital requirements.

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

Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk of loss due to adverse movements in foreign exchange rate relating to foreign currency denominated trade receivable with foreign brokers, other receivables, bank balances, convertible instruments designated as financial assets at FVTPL, investment deposits, trade payables, other payables and accruals and guaranteed exchangeable notes. The Group’s exposure to currency risk is minimal. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign exposure should the need arise.

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

Assets Liabilities Liabilities
2012 2011 2012 2011
HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000
Renminbi (“RMB”) 15,353 70,219 1,080
United States Dollars (“USD”) 84,206 13,596 83,776

More than 80% (2011: 80%) and all (2011: more than 80%) of financial assets and financial liabilities, respectively, of the Group are denominated in HK$ and the remaining is denominated in RMB and USD as at 31 March 2012. As USD is not the functional currency of the Group entity and HK$ is pegged to USD, the Group does not expect any significant movements in the USD/HK$ exchange rates. In the opinion of Directors, the foreign currency sensitivity does not give additional value in view of insignificant movement in the USD/HK$ exchange rates.

If a 5% (2011: 5%) increase/decrease in HK$ against the RMB and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss after tax for the year would decrease/increase by approximately HK$641,000 (2011: HK$2,887,000). The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to loan receivables and other borrowings at fixed rates and such fixed rate assets and liabilities were disclosed in the respective notes. The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate assets and liabilities. It is the Group’s policy to keep its assets and liabilities at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk.

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

Interest rate risk (Continued)

The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly relating to the fluctuation of Hong Kong prime rate (the “prime rate” arising from the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments). The Group’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed below.

Financial instruments with variable interest rate in nature

2012 2011
HK$’000 HK$’000
Assets
– Trade receivables
– cash clients 4,473 14,593
– margin clients 203,283 289,106
– Bank balances and cash – general 69,136 44,747
Liabilities
– Bank and other borrowings 3,000

The sensitivity analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole year. As at 31 March 2012, if the interest rate of bank and other borrowings and trade receivables from cash and margin clients had been 100 (2011: 100) basis point higher/lower, the Group’s loss for the year would decrease / increase by approximately HK$2,287,000 (2011: decrease / increase in loss for the year of approximately HK$2,876,000).

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its investment in listed equity securities. The Group’s equity price risk is mainly concentrated on equity instruments quoted in the Stock Exchange. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risk and return profiles.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the reporting date.

If the prices of the respective equity instruments had been 5% (2011:5%) higher/lower:

  • Loss for the year ended 31 March 2012 would decrease/increase by approximately HK$623,000 as a result of the changes in fair value of investments held for trading. (2011: decrease/increase by approximately HK$1,548,000).

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. For non-derivatives financial liabilities, the table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

Credit risk

As at 31 March 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 is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

In order to recognise 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 the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the Directors consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks with high credit ratings, the Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spreading across diverse industries.

The Group’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is mainly in Hong Kong, which accounted for 100% (2011: 100%) of the total trade receivable as at 31 March 2012.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.

(c) Fair value

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

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

  • the fair value of derivative instruments is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives; and

  • the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions. For share warrants, the fair value is estimated using option pricing mode.

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of current financial assets and current financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

The fair value of convertible loan notes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

Fair value measurement recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

19. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

All the Group’s intangible assets were acquired from third parties.

The license right represents the license for carrying out asset management business in Hong Kong. The license right has no foreseeable limit to the period over which the Group can use to generate net cash flows. As a result, the license right is considered by the management of the Group as having an indefinite useful life. The license right will not be amortised until its useful life is determined to be finite. Instead it will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be impaired.

The trading rights represent the trading rights on the Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Futures Exchange with indefinite useful life.

The trading software has definite useful life. Such software is amortised on a straight line basis over 5 years.

Impairment review on the intangible assets

The basis of the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets and its major underlying assumptions are summarised below:

License right

During the year ended 31 March 2012, the directors of the Company conducted a review of the Group’s license right determined that no benefits will be generated from the license right in the foreseeable future which resulted from the unstable financial market in these years. The asset management business is not yet to be commenced during the year ended 31 March 2012 and the Directors expect that the business will not be started in the near future, therefore, the carrying amount of the license right is fully impaired during the year ended 31 March 2012. The impairment loss of approximately HK$2,261,000 has been recognised during the year ended 31 March 2012.

Trading right

The trading right has been reclassified as assets held for sale as at 31 March 2012 as it will be disposed through the disposal of EFL Group as stated in note 16. The Directors consider that the recoverable amount of the trading right exceeds it carrying value as at 31 March 2012, no impairment loss has been recognised.

19. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

Impairment review on the intangible assets (Continued)

Trading right (Continued)

The recoverable amount of the trading right as at 31 March 2011 had been determined based on the value in use calculation. That calculation used cash flow projections based on the relevant financial budgets approved by the management covering a four-year period and discount rate of 18.5% per annum. Other key assumptions for the value in use calculations relate to the estimation of cash inflow/outflow which included budgeted income from future brokerage, staff cost and other operating expenses, such estimation was based on managements’ expectation for the future brokerage business. Management believed that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the trading right to exceed the recoverable amount of the trading right.

Trading software

During the year ended 31 March 2011, the Directors conducted a review of the Group’s trading software since the number of users subscribed to use the trading software is substantially lower than original estimation and determined that the number of users subscribed will become nil. No benefits will be generated for the trading software in the foreseeable future and accordingly, the carrying amount of the trading software was fully impaired. The impairment loss of approximately HK$15,333,000 had been recognised during the year ended 31 March 2011.

HK$’000 HK$’000
Corporate finance segment 3,994

Corporate finance segment

The recoverable amount of corporate finance operation is determined from value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections based on financial budget approved by the management covering 5-year period, and the discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 13.95%. Zero growth rate is applied to extrapolate the cash flows beyond five year period. This growth rate is based on the relevant industry growth forecasts and does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant industry. Other key assumptions for the value in use calculation related to the estimation of cash inflows and outflows which include budgeted sales and budgeted gross margin. This estimation is determined based on the unit’s past performance and management’s expectation for the market development.

The unlisted investment represents investment in unlisted equity interests in private entities incorporated in Hong Kong. They are measured at cost less impairment at the end of each reporting period because the range of reasonable fair value estimates is so significant that the Directors are of the opinion that their fair values cannot be measured reliably.

For the year ended 31 March 2012, certain of the Group’s available-for-sale unlisted equity securities are determined to be impaired based on the financial information of the investee companies, accordingly impairment loss of approximately HK$500,000 (2011: HK$1,254,000) had been recognised for the year ended 31 March 2012. The Directors are of the opinion that the impairment made is based on their best estimation with reference to the circumstances of the investee companies.

The trade receivables from cash and margin customers are repayable on demand and bear interest at commercial rates. As at 31 March 2012, included in the total trade receivables, approximately HK$207,756,000 (2011: HK$299,699,000) were interest bearing whereas approximately HK$2,649,000 (2011: HK$32,188,000) were non-interest bearing.

In determining the recoverability of the trade receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivables from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date.

Included in the Group’s trade receivables balance are debtors with aggregate carrying amount of approximately HK$6,532,000 (2011: HK$14,989,000) which were past due as at the reporting date for which the Group has not provided for impairment loss.

61 to 90 days 60 715
Over 90 days 3,844 9,581
6,532 14,989

Trade receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that either have a good track record for repayment with the Group or fully settled the outstanding balances subsequently. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group holds the pledged securities at fair values of approximately HK$111,356,000 over these balances (2011: HK$224,390,000).

The Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes are denominated in US$. The Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes entitle the holder to exchange them into ordinary shares of China Eco-Farming Limited (“ China Eco-Farming ”), a company listed on the GEM of the Stock Exchange at initial price of HK$0.62 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms and condition of the Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes, at any time between the date of issue of the Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes and the fifth day immediately before the maturity date on 29 July 2013. If the Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes have not been exchanged, they would be redeemed on 29 July 2013 at the nominal value with an internal rate of return of 6% per annum on a compound basis. The Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes are guaranteed by the Company. The Group entered into a stock and deposit arrangement with two individuals to put their holding of shares on China Eco-Farming in an escrow account in order to facilitate the exchange of the Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes.

Subscriber can request Fortune Financial to early redeem the Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes on (i) the last day of the twelve calendar month from the first issue date of 30 July 2010; (ii) the last day of the twenty fourth calendar month from the first issue date of 30 July 2010; (iii) at any time after China Eco-Farming announces that it shall no longer proceed and/or be capable of completing the transactions with respect to the mining projects.
