LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is licensed to carry out Type 1 (dealing in securities), Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities under the SFO. WWSL offers brokerage services and margin financing services to individuals and corporate clients. Brokerage commission income amounted to HK$7.2 million, HK$3.9 million and HK$5.2 million for the years of 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. Interest income from the margin financing services amounted to HK$11.8 million, HK$5.5 million and HK$1.5 million for the years of 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

WWSL also provides investment advisory services to corporate (comprising both listed and unlisted companies) and high net worth individual clients. It also serves as investment manager for investment companies listed under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules.

Enerchine Corporate Finance Limited (‘‘ECFL’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Win Wind, is licensed to carry out Type 6 (advising on corporate finance) regulated activities under the SFO. ECFL serves as financial advisors to listed companies for various types of transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, fund raising and debt restructuring.

Win Wind Group engages in proprietary trading of listed securities, which is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the portfolio amounted to HK$760.8 million, HK$1,798.6 million and HK$1,591.7 million for the years of 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, with a gain on fair value of HK$362.9 million, HK$519.6 million and HK$269.3 million in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

WWRL’s clients include corporate and high net worth individuals. Interest income from money lending business amounted to HK$22.2 million and HK$20.3 million in the years of 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Win Wind expects that the capital markets in Hong Kong and China will remain challenging for 2016, with major economic indicators for both economies continue to show signs of slowing down. In particular, monetary policies that will be implemented by the Governments of U.S., China, European Union and Japan in order to accelerate their economic growth, may cause the capital markets to be volatile, as speculations on the timing and magnitude of these policies by market participants can cause severe turbulence in the market. Apart from concerns in international finance, political factors such as uncertainties in U.S. elections and political instability observed in the Asia region may increase the volatility of the market even further.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Win Wind believes that there are still opportunities to acquire decent medium and long-term investments, and with appropriate risk management and control measures in place, they are capable of uncovering such opportunities that will enhance the value of Win Wind for all shareholders.

Win Wind is cautiously optimistic with the financial services business in both Hong Kong and China, and has proceeded by enhancing the capability of Win Wind to develop new businesses.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Win Wind will continue to add competent staff to Win Wind Group in order to enhance and expand its capability to cope with the ever-changing financial and investment environment.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

The Company announced on 8 January 2015 that it intended to diversify its business to securities investment and trading business as well as money lending business. Such strategy allowed the Group to have a parallel development of its then existing principal business in manufacturing business and the new financial and investment business. With the emerging new economy and financial markets in the mainland China, the Group believed that it could capture more business and investment opportunities by engaging in the securities investment and trading business as well as money lending business. The interest yields from the money lending business and the dividend income as well as capital gains from the securities investment and trading business would bring better returns to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Company has sufficient management expertise and qualified personnel at operational level to operate its securities investment and trading business as well as money lending business. These businesses are principally operated and supervised by Mr. Lo Yuen Wa Peter (‘‘Mr. Lo’’) and Ms. Sun Dixie (‘‘Ms. Sun’’), both of whom are executive directors of the Company, and Mr. Ng Sheung Yan Howard (‘‘Mr. Ng’’), the assistant accounting manager of the Group.

The experience and qualifications of Mr. Lo, Ms. Sun and Mr. Ng are set out below:-

Mr. Lo graduated from the University of Liverpool and obtained his professional qualification in Accountancy in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Win Wind Group has a proven track record and was extremely profitable as can be seen in the audited consolidated financial information of Win Wind Group outlined above. After making the investment in the Convertible Note and learning more about Win Wind Group, the Company is increasingly confident and optimistic about Win Wind Group’s business model and financial performance going forward. Both the Company and Win Wind are engaged in the financial services industry. The Company also considers that further investment through the Subscription Agreement may achieve a synergy effect between both parties. The Company could achieve a synergy effect in many aspects including but not limited to the following:

  • (a) Information sharing – Information and its analysis is crucial for decision making in respect of securities investment and trading. The Company and Win Wind may share public information about the market conditions in general as well as their research and analysis after the strategic alliance is created;

  • (b) Business networks sharing – Both Win Wind and the Company have their own business networks and client base and they may expand their existing networks by mutual referral;

  • (c) Cooperation in business opportunities – If opportunities arise and good investment target is identified, the Company and Win Wind may co-operate in such form or way that both parties consider fit so that they may share the profits and, at the same time, share the burden of capital requirement and the costs and risk.

In addition, the Directors consider the terms of the Subscription Agreement to be commercially attractive in that the CO Subscription Shares are issued by the Company at a premium of about 17.65% of the audited consolidated net asset value per Share.

Furthermore, the transactions contemplated under the Subscription Agreement would enable the Company to reap the potential benefits as outlined in the paragraph above with an overall effect of no net cash outlay (apart from professional and other fees in connection with the consummation of the WW Subscription and the CO Subscription). Instead, the CN Redemption would replenish the cash fund of the Group.

Based on the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and the transactions contemplated under the Subscription Agreement are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company intends to maintain and continue to develop its existing business. The Company has not entered into any agreements, arrangements, understanding or negotiations about any acquisition and/or disposal of assets or business, or termination and/or shrinking of and of the Company’s existing business.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the WW Subscription exceeds 25% but are below 100%, the subscription of the WW Shares under the Subscription Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed in the business update announcement on 6 April 2016, the Directors are not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2015, the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made up.

5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS

Review of Operations

The Group reported a consolidated revenue of HK$286.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, representing a decrease of 28.0% as compared to HK$397.0 million for the financial year 2014, consisting of packaging business of HK$341.4 million but offset by treasury investment loss of HK$55.4 million. The profit attributable to Shareholders was approximately HK$255.3 million, an increase of HK$245.0 million, as compared to HK$10.3 million for the previous financial year. Such increases were primarily due to the one-off gains on disposals of the Group’s interests in subsidiaries and associate.

Packaging Business

The revenue of the packaging business for the year decreased by 14.0% to HK$341.4 million (2014: HK$397.0 million), mainly due to the disposal of a non-wholly owned subsidiary, Theme Production House Limited, during the year. Hong Kong and Mainland China were still the largest markets and accounted for 45.6% of the total revenue (2014: 43.2%) while sales to Europe and North and South America accounted for 30.2% (2014: 27.6%) and 16.9% (2014: 18.7%) respectively.

The gross profit margin for the year was 17.8%, an increase of 1.1% as compared to 16.7% for the previous year, resulting from the decrease in material costs and the Group’s continuous efforts in enhancing its operational efficiency. The segment profit amounted to HK$12.8 million (2014: HK$22.3 million), a decrease of HK$9.5 million, mainly due to the combined effects of disposal of interest in subsidiaries and properties, and written off bad debts.

Treasury Investment Business

Year 2015 marked the transformation that the Group released its illiquid assets and invested into a broad set of financial assets. During the year under review, the stock market in Hong Kong and elsewhere experienced extreme volatility. The Group’s securities portfolio recorded the fair value loss on equity investments at fair value through profit or loss and the gain on disposal of available-for-sale listed equity investments of HK$57.5 million and HK$30.6 million respectively. In addition, the Group earned dividend and interest income amounted to HK$2.1 million.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Prospects

Surrounded by a cloud of uncertainty, for 2016, the consumer market worldwide is likely to remain in a slow growth path in spite of a loose monetary policy in the Eurozone and growing domestic demands in the United States. The packaging business has to face the major challenges in Mainland China, which include shortages in workforce, increase in wages and fringe benefits payments.

The equity market performance has been sluggish since the second half of 2015 and continued to be unsatisfactory in early 2016. Market conditions are expected to be tough in the foreseeable future. A weakening local economy, rising interest rates in the United States and further slowdown in the economic growth in China are factors likely to exert pressure on the financial market and performance in the equity trading sector in the year ahead.

In view of the change of its economy to consumption-driven growth from investment-driven mode by China, the Group has been actively diversifying its business, seeking opportunities for expansion which may benefit from the change of the macro-environment to establish goals for growth and prosperity.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  1. General

Win Wind is an investment holding company and the Win Wind Group is principally engaged in the financial services sector, i.e. provision of securities brokerage services, placing and underwriting services, the provision of corporate finance advisory services, trading and investment of securities, provision of margin financing, money lending services, investment advisory and management services. Enerchina Holdings Limited is the immediate and ultimate holding company of Win Wind.

The Financial Information are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is also the functional currency of Win Wind.

  1. Application of New And Revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’)

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Win Wind Group has applied all HKFRSs which are effective for the Win Wind Group’s accounting period beginning on 1 April 2015, consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.

The Win Wind Group has not early applied the following new or revised HKFRSs that have been issued which may be relevant to the Win Wind Group but are not yet effective:

HKFRS 9 Financial instruments[1] HKFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers[1] HKFRS 16 Leases[2]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with earlier application permitted.

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with earlier application permitted.

HKFRS 9 Financial instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 amended in 2011 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and further amended in 2013 to include the new requirements for hedge accounting. Another revised version of HKFRS 9 was issued in September 2014 mainly to include a) impairment requirements for financial assets; b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ (‘‘FVTOCI’’) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.

II – 11

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 ‘‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’’ are 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. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. 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.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

The directors of Win Wind anticipate that the adoption of HKFRS 9 in the future may have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Win Wind Group’s financial assets (e.g. the Win Wind Group’s certain unlisted shares that are currently classified as available-for-sale investments at cost will have to be redesignated as and measured at either fair value through profit or loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income, upon the adoption of HKFRS 9; less allowance for expected credit loss on financial assets will have to be recognised and measured upon adoption of HKFRS 9). Regarding the Win Wind Group’s financial assets, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

HKFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

HKFRS 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 ‘‘Revenue’’, HKAS 11 ‘‘Construction contracts’’ and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.

The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

  • Step 1: Identify the contract with customer.

  • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

II – 12

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract.

  • Step 5: Recognise revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.

The directors of Win Wind anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 may affect the amount reported and disclosures made in the Financial Information. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until Win Wind performs a detailed review.

HKFRS 16 – Leases

HKFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. It distinguishes leases and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. Subject to limited exceptions for short-term leases and low value assets, distinctions of operating and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by lessees. However, the standard does not significantly change the accounting of lessors.

Application of HKFRS 16 will result in Win Wind’s recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities in respect of many of Win Wind’s lease arrangements. These assets and liabilities are currently not required to be recognised but certain relevant information is disclosed as commitments in note 33 to these Financial Information. The directors of Win Wind anticipate that the application of HKFRS 16 in the future may have an impact on Win Wind’s Financial Information however, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until Win Wind performs a detailed review.

Except for above, the directors of Win Wind anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the Financial Information.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below which are in conformity with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and included applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

II – 13

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

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

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Win Wind Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as value in use in HKAS 36 ‘‘Impairment of assets’’.

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

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

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

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

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of Win Wind and entities controlled by Win Wind and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when Win Wind:

  • has power over the investee;

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

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

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

II – 14

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

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

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of Win Wind. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Win Wind.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Win Wind Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Win Wind Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Merger accounting for business combination involving entitles under common control

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period.

The comparative amounts in the Financial Information are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined at the end of the previous reporting period or when they first came under common control, whichever is shorter.

As of 1 April 2013, the merger reserves amounted to HK$9,366,000, which is the result of share exchange transactions between Win Wind Investment (Holdings) Limited and Enerchine Corporate Finance Limited, and between Win Wind Intermediary Financial Services Limited and Win Wind Capital Limited.

II – 15

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Interests in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Win Wind Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the Financial Information using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates used for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the Win Wind Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Win Wind Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Win Wind Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Win Wind Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Win Wind Group’s net investment in the associate), the Win Wind Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Win Wind Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The requirements of HKAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Win Wind Group’s investment in an associate. 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.

When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Win Wind Group (such as a sale or contribution of assets), profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Win Wind Group’s Financial Information only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Win Wind Group.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

II – 16

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Fee and commission income is recognised when the services are provided, or when the relevant significant acts have been completed in accordance with the terms of the agreements.

Advisory and other fee income are recognised when the relevant services have been rendered.

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 Win Wind Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Win Wind Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income 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.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for administrative purposes are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

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

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

II – 17

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Win Wind Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Win Wind Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When 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.

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

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

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) 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 cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

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.

II – 18

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Financial assets

The Win Wind Group’s financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including 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 assets 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 debt instrument 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 debt instrument, 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.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at FVTPL represents financial assets held for trading.

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 Win Wind Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profittaking; or

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

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes 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 other deposits, accounts receivable and other receivables, bank balances – trust and segregated accounts and bank balances (general accounts) and cash are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment of financial assets below).

II – 19

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

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, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. The Win Wind Group designated the investments in unlisted shares, an investment fund and certain listed shares as available-for-sale financial assets on initial recognition of those items.

Investments held by the Win Wind Group that are classified as available-for-sale financial assets and are either traded in an active market or valued by appropriate valuation techniques as disclosed in note 6 to these Financial Information are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investment revaluation reserve.

Dividends on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in profit or loss when the Win Wind Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

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 and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment of financial assets below).

Impairment of 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.

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

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

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

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.

II – 20

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

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 in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment 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.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments will not be reversed in profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in investment revaluation reserve.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

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

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Win Wind after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by Win Wind 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, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

APPENDIX II

Convertible notes containing liability (including early redemption option) and equity components

Convertible notes issued by the Win Wind Group that contain both the liability (together with the early redemption option which is closely related to the host liability component) and equity (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 Win Wind Group’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 rate of similar non-convertible debts. The difference between the gross proceeds of the issue of the convertible notes and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the conversion option for the holder to convert the convertible notes into equity, is included in equity (convertible notes reserve).

In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible 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 Win Wind, will remain in convertible notes reserve until the embedded option is exercised (in which case the balance stated in convertible notes reserve will be transferred to share premium). Where the option remains unexercised at the expiry date, the balance stated in convertible notes reserve will be transferred to retained earnings. 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 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 notes using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including accounts payable and other payables and convertible notes liability are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

II – 22

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Derecognition

The Win Wind Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire.

On derecognition of a financial asset, 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.

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

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 Win Wind Group as lessee

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

Borrowing costs

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

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

II – 23

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Foreign currencies

In preparing the Financial Information 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 retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in term of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.

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.

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 before taxation as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Win Wind 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 differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases 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 differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit 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 associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Win Wind Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the 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.

II – 24

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

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 rates (and 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 Win Wind 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.

4. Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In the application of the Win Wind Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of Win Wind 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 on-going 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 within the next financial year.

Impairment of loans receivable

The impairment of loans receivable of the Win Wind Group is estimated based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of individual account receivable and loans performed by the management. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer and borrower. If the financial conditions of customers and borrowers of the Win Wind Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairments may be required. As at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable arising from secured margin clients and loans to independent third parties are HK$276,534,000, HK$84,483,000 and HK$9,939,000 and HK$186,400,000, HK$717,063,000 and HK$264,682,000 respectively.

5.

Capital Risk Management

The Win Wind Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Win Wind Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to owner of Win Wind through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Win Wind Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from the Relevant Periods.

II – 25

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

The capital structure of the Win Wind Group consists of convertible notes liability and equity attributable to owner of Win Wind, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of Win Wind review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, Win Wind will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and new share issues and raise of new loan borrowings.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Win Wind Group’s major financial instruments include other deposits, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, amount due from (to) immediate holding company, accounts receivable and other receivables, available-for-sale investments, bank balances – trust and segregated accounts, bank balances (general accounts) and cash, accounts payable and other payables, other borrowings and convertible notes liability. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. The risks associated and the management policies remain unchanged during the Relevant Periods.

Market risks

Interest rate risk

The Win Wind Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate convertible notes liabilities (see note 27), fixed-rate loans to independent third parties (see note 20) and cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances. The management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the need arise.

II – 26

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Sensitivity analysis

The management considers that the Win Wind Group’s exposure to cash flow interest rate risk on variable-rate bank balances as a result of the change of market interest rate is insignificant due to its short-term maturity and thus no sensitivity analysis is prepared for interest rate risk.

Price risk

The Win Wind Group is exposed to price risk through its investments in listed and unlisted equity securities, and unlisted investment funds. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. The Win Wind Group’s price risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of market price of equity securities listed in Hong Kong. Other than this, the Win Wind Group does not have any concentration on price risk in listed shares or unlisted investment funds.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to price risks at the reporting date from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale investments (including investments in listed and unlisted equity securities and unlisted investment fund, but excluding unlisted equity securities stated at cost).

If the prices of the respective equity securities had been 15% higher/lower, profit after tax for the years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 would increase/decrease by HK$98,483,000, HK$225,273,000 and HK$199,363,000, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and investment revaluation reserve for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 would increase/decrease by HK$6,941,000 and HK$25,906,000, respectively, as a result of the changes in unlisted shares in overseas, listed equity securities and unlisted investment funds classified as available-for-sale investments carried at fair value.

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent price risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the year.

Credit risk

The Win Wind Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties fail to perform their obligations in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Win Wind 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 Win Wind Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual accounts receivable and other receivables at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of Win Wind consider that the Win Wind Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

II – 27

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

In order to minimise the credit risk on brokerage, financing and corporate finance operations, the management of the Win Wind Group is responsible to compile the credit and risk management policies, to approve credit limits and to determine any debt recovery action on those delinquent receivables. In addition, management of the Win Wind Group reviews the recoverable amount of loans receivable and accounts receivable from provision of financial, consultancy and corporate finance advisory services and secured margin clients as disclosed in note 20 on an individual and collective basis at each reporting date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of Win Wind consider that the Win Wind Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because majority of the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and state-owned banks with good reputation.

The credit risk on accounts receivable from a clearing house is limited because the counterparty has high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The Win Wind Group has concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable from cash clients as 98.97%, 99.85%, 99.88% of the total was due from the top five customers as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. It has concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable from margin clients as 64.09%, 73.62% and 96.23% of the total was due from the top five customers as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. These accounts receivables are secured by clients’ securities held by the Win Wind Group.

The Win Wind Group has concentration of credit risk as 57.98%, 45.32% and 78.72% of the total loans receivable was due from the Win Wind Groups’ five largest customers as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. These loans receivables are due from individuals and corporates without previous default records. Management of the Win Wind Group monitors these exposure from time to time to assess their recoverability.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Win Wind Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Win Wind Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

The following table details the Win Wind Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Win Wind Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

Fair value of the Win Wind Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The management of Win Wind estimates the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the discounted cash flows analysis. The management of Win Wind considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial position approximate their fair values.

Valuation process

The chief financial officer of Win Wind is responsible to determine the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Win Wind Group uses marketobservable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Win Wind Group used other valuation methods and techniques to perform the valuation. Quoted prices from market or pricing services agent are used if available. If these quoted prices are not available, net asset value of the investee comprising mainly of assets with estimated fair values is used to perform the valuation. The chief financial officer monitors the applicability of these valuation methods and techniques closely to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. Chief financial officer reports to executive directors semi-annually to explain the cause of fluctuations in the fair value of the assets.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets are disclosed above.

Segment revenue includes revenue from financial services and money lending operations. In addition, the chief operation decision makers also consider gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as segment revenue.

The accounting policies of the reportable and operating segment are the same as the Win Wind Group’s accounting policies. Segment result represents the profit earned or loss incurred by each segment without allocation of certain other income, net foreign exchange gain (loss), (loss) gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, loss on disposal of an associate, share of results of an associate, central corporate expenses and taxation. This is the measure reported to the executive directors for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.

Notes:

  • (i) Investments in unlisted equity securities issued by private entities are held for an identified long-term strategic purpose. The available-for-sale investments are measured at cost less impairment at the end of the reporting period because the ranges of reasonable fair value estimates are so significant that the directors of Win Wind are of the opinion that their fair values cannot be measured reliably.

During the year ended 31 March 2016, the Win Wind Group subscribed for 7.07% of the enlarged share capital of an entity incorporated in the Marshall Islands, which is principally engaged in investment in private equities and money lending business in Hong Kong, with a cash consideration of HK$209,000,000.

The Win Wind Group has disposed of its interests in an unlisted equity investment in a company incorporated in overseas with carrying amount of HK$2,631,000 at a consideration of HK$5,944,000 during the year ended 31 March 2016. There is a gain of HK$3,313,000 recognised upon the disposal.

During the year ended 31 March 2015, the Win Wind Group subscribed for 1.99% of the enlarged share capital of an entity incorporated in the BVI, which is principally engaged in property investment and investment in artworks in Hong Kong and other investment in private entities in overseas, with a cash consideration of HK$50,713,000. Also, the Win Wind Group acquired 5.98% of another entity with a consideration of HK$2,631,000.

  • (iii) For the available-for-sale investments stated at cost less impairment, the management of the Win Wind Group reviews the latest available financial information about the investees’ financial positions, such as net asset value per share and consequently considers no objective evidence of impairment was identified at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 for these investments, except as disclosed below.

During the year ended 31 March 2016, an impairment loss of HK$49,400,000 is recognised against the carrying amount of the unlisted investment in a private entity incorporated in the Marshall Islands due to the significant decrease in net asset of that private entity because of impairment of its underlying investments.

Note: Loans receivable as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 include fixed rate loan advances to independent third parties of HK$97,300,000, HK$73,340,000 and HK$59,051,000, respectively, which are secured by the pledge of certain collaterals and personal guarantees, and have contractual loan period between 3 months and 7 years as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 under the Win Wind Group’s money lending operation. The management of the Win Wind Group believes that the amount is considered recoverable given the fair value of the collaterals is sufficient to cover the entire loan balance for each of the secured loan advances. The remaining balances of HK$89,100,000, HK$643,723,000 and HK$205,631,000 as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively granted to independent third parties, are unsecured and have contracted loan period between 6 months to 37 years. The average interest rates for the secured loans receivable were ranging from 8% to 12%, from 7% to 12% and from 5% to 10% per annum, and for the unsecured loans receivable from 5% to 24%, from 7% to 24% and from 7% to 24% per annum, during the years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

As at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Win Wind Group has provided to its borrowers undrawn committed facilities amounting in aggregate to HK$21,500,000, HK$24,000 and HK$50,260,000 respectively in relation to these secured and unsecured loans receivable for customers to draw down.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

The amount granted to individuals depends on management’s assessment of credit risk on the customers by evaluation on background check (such as their professional, their salaries and current working position) and repayment abilities by means by analysis of the market value of the securities portfolio of the customers in the Win Wind Group’s brokerage accounts. The Win Wind Group determines the allowance of impaired debts based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on the management’s judgement, including assessment of change of credit quality and the past collection history of each customer. There are no loans receivable which were past due at the end of reporting period and the directors of Win Wind consider that no impairment was necessary.

Accounts receivable from margin loans are repayable on demand and bear interest ranging from 6% to 24%, 6% to 24% and 6% to 24%, respectively, per annum during the years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016. The loans are secured by pledged marketable securities with a total fair value of approximately HK$1,340,431,000, HK$405,918,000 and HK$119,194,000, respectively, as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016. The fair value of pledged marketable securities of the individual margin clients is higher than the corresponding outstanding loans. The Win Wind Group is permitted to sell or repledge the marketable securities if the customers default on the payment when requested by the Win Wind Group. In the opinion of the directors of Win Wind, no aged analysis is disclosed as the aged analysis does not give additional value. Entire amount of accounts receivable arising from secured margin clients are neither past due nor impaired as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016.

The settlement terms of accounts receivable arising from the provision of securities brokerage business with HKSCC are usually two days after trade date. No aged analysis is disclosed as in the opinion of directors of Win Wind, the aged analysis does not give additional value in view of the nature of brokerage business.

The concentration of credit risk on loans receivable, and accounts receivables from cash and margin clients were disclosed in credit risk section in note 6 of this Financial Information.

On 9 June 2015, the directors resolved to dispose of Enerchine Investment Management Limited (‘‘EIML’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Win Wind Group for providing asset management services (that forms part of the ‘‘financial services’’ segment). Negotiations with interested party have subsequently taken place.

EIML is included in the Win Wind Group’s financial services for segment reporting purposes (see note 7). The net proceeds of disposal are expected to exceed the net carrying amount of the relevant assets and liabilities and accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognised.

The major classes of assets and liabilities of the EIML classified as held for sale are as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Win Wind Group’s operations for the three years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The following financial information is based on the accountant’s report of Win Wind Group as set out above in Appendix II.

Win Wind Group principally engages in the financial services sector, including the provision of securities brokerage services, placing and underwriting services, the provision of corporate finance advisory services, trading and investment of securities, provision of margin financing, money lending services, investment advisory and management services as well as investment holdings.

BUSINESS REVIEW

For the year ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016, Win Wind Group’s turnover amounted to approximately HK$417.0 million, HK$559.9 million and HK$305.9 million respectively, representing an increase of 34% for the year 2015 and a decrease of 45% for the year 2016. Profit for the year increased by 37% to HK$445.3 million for the year 2015 and decreased by 76% to HK$108.5 million for the year 2016. The increase in net profit for the year 2015 resulted in a substantial increase in gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss but at the same time, an increase in other expenses. For the year 2016, the significant decrease in net profit was mainly due to a decrease in gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, an increase in other expenses and impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale investment.

Brokerage Services

Brokerage commission income generated from provision of securities brokerage services amounted to HK$7.2 million, HK$3.9 million and HK$5.2 million for the years 2014, 2015, 2016 respectively.

Interest income generated from provision of margin financing services amounted to HK$11.8 million, HK$5.5 million and HK$1.5 million for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Money Lending

Interest income from the provision of money lending services decreased by 6% to HK$22.2 million for the year 2015 and decreased by 8% to HK$20.3 million for the year 2016. Even though the amount of loans issued increased for the year 2015, the interest income decreased due to a significant amount of the loans having been issued towards the year end but for a shorter loan period. Interest income decreased for the year 2016 as a result of fewer loans being granted to customers.

Corporate Finance

Win Wind Securities Limited (formerly known as Enerchine Securities Limited), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Win Wind, has placed and underwritten securities with a value of HK$611.5 million, HK$12,244.7 million and HK$868.0 million for the years ending 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, and generated placement commission income of HK$3.9 million, HK$1.6 million and HK$6.0 million for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. Win Wind Securities Limited has executed 9, 12 and 9 placements and underwritings on behalf of 9, 11 and 8 listed company clients during the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Corporate finance advisory fees decreased by 36% to HK$3.1 million and decreased by 8% to HK$2.8 million for the years 2015 and 2016 respectively as a result of decrease in customers’ portfolio.

Investment Advisory

Investment advisory services income decreased by approximately 15% to HK$5.8 million for the year 2015 and increased by 17% to HK$6.8 million for the year 2016.

Proprietary Trading

Win Wind Group engages in proprietary trading of listed securities, which is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the portfolio amounted to HK$760.8 million, HK$1,798.6 million and HK$1,591.7 million for the years 2014, 2015, 2016 respectively, with a gain on fair value of HK$362.9 million, HK$519.6 million and HK$269.3 million for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. Dividend income increased by approximately 281,122% to HK$25.3 million for the year 2015 when compared to HK$9,000 in the year 2014, and decreased by approximately 89% to HK$2.8 million for the year 2016 when compared to HK$25.3 million in the year 2015, which was mainly due to fewer dividends received by Win Wind Group from listed securities.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Win Wind Group’s financial services business is not exposed to foreign exchange risk as most of the transactions are denominated in HK$. No financial instruments were used for hedging purposes.

Win Wind Group’s cash and cash equivalents, represented by bank balances (general accounts) and cash, amounted to HK$126.3 million, HK$77.4 million and HK$160.7 million as at 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively and are mostly denominated in RMB, HK$ and USD.

Capital Commitments

As at 31 March 2016, Win Wind Group had capital commitments in respect of the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounting to HK$37.2 million that have not been provided for in the financial statements.

PROSPECTS

Win Wind expects that the capital markets in Hong Kong and China will remain challenging for 2016, with major economic indicators for both economies continue to show signs of slowing down. In particular, monetary policies that will be implemented by the Governments of U.S., China, European Union and Japan in order to accelerate their economic growth, may cause the capital markets to be volatile, as speculations on the timing and magnitude of these policies by market participants can cause severe turbulence in the market. Apart from concerns in international finance, political factors such as uncertainties in U.S. elections and political instability observed in the Asia region may increase the volatility of the market even further.

II – 59

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WIN WIND GROUP

APPENDIX II

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Win Wind believes that there are still opportunities to acquire decent medium and long-term investments, and with appropriate risk management and control measures in place, they are capable of uncovering such opportunities that will enhance the value of Win Wind for all shareholders.

Win Wind is cautiously optimistic with the financial services business in both Hong Kong and China, and has proceeded by enhancing the capability of Win Wind to develop new businesses.

Win Wind will continue to add competent staff to Win Wind Group in order to enhance and expand its capability to cope with the ever-changing financial and investment environment. Win Wind will also make investments in its infrastructure and keep up with developments to maintain its competitive edge as well as stay ahead of other service providers.

Notes:

  1. The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2015 is extracted from the published 2015 Annual Report of the Company.

  2. Upon Completion, the Group’s investment in 13,600,000 WW Subscription Shares will be accounted for as an available-for-sale investment in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Moreover, as the WW Subscription Shares are unlisted equity security, in the opinion of the Directors, the fair value of such unlisted equity investment cannot be reliably measured as the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant, and accordingly, such investment will be stated at cost less any impairment losses at the end of each reporting period in accordance with HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the consideration for the WW Subscription which amounts to HK$408,000,000 shall be satisfied by way of allotment and issue of 2,040,000,000 CO Subscription Shares by the Company, credited as fully paid at an issue price of HK$0.20 per CO Subscription Share. Accordingly, the Group’s cost of investment in the WW Subscription Shares upon completion shall be measured at the fair value of the CO Subscription Shares on the date on which such shares are issued to Win Wind upon Completion.

For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the fair value of each CO Subscription share is based on the closing price of HK$0.248 of the Shares as at 31 December 2015. On this basis, this adjustment reflects the Group’s investment cost and the issue of 2,040,000,000 CO Subscription Shares credited as fully paid to the share capital and share premium of HK$20,400,000 and HK$485,520,000, respectively assuming the CO Subscription Shares were issued on 31 December 2015. The fair value of the CO Subscription Shares to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as consideration for the WW Subscription and cost of investment upon Completion shall be based on the fair value of the CO Subscription Shares issued on the date of Completion, which could be materially different from the fair value as shown in this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

  1. Upon Completion, Win Wind will fully redeem the Convertible Note held by the Group of HK$150,000,000 in cash.

  2. The transaction costs including legal fees and other professional fees related to the Transaction was approximated to HK$2,162,000.
