On behalf of the Board of directors (the "Board"), I hereby present to the shareholders the annual results of Vision Values Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") for the year ended 30 June 2014 (the "Financial Year").

Management Discussion and Analysis
Business Review
1. Network Solutions and Project Services ("NSPS")
It was a difficult year for NSPS. The achieved revenue for the Financial Year was unsatisfactory and recorded a drop of 42.3% to HK\$20.8 million when compared to last year (2013: HK\$36.0 million). The gross profit for the Financial Year was HK\$4.8 million (2013: HK\$8.4 million).
Among the NSPS, the revenue from telecom solution was HK\$9.7 million and HK\$2.4 million was generated from system maintenance services.
For the business of telecom solution, the sales cycle for the mobile and fix network operators took a longer lead time and some potential clients were lost to competitors at negotiation stage. In addition, we observed in this Financial Year that the telecom operators preferred to deal directly with vendors as they expected vendors were far more capable to offer them a comprehensive solution together with a competitive price. Such trend had affected our business and in turn we needed to lower our product margin in order to gain new orders. This was one of the reasons led to the drop of telecom solution sales revenue.
Mergers and acquisitions happened in the sector of telecom vendors involving our long term business partners giving rise to profound effect on our business. "Symetricom" was being acquired by "Microsemi" in November 2013 and thereafter Microsemi has introduced new partners in Hong Kong which lead to our direct competition with these new partners. Both of our selling price and profit margin were inevitably eroded due to fierce competition. Motorola Solutions also announced early this year that their enterprise solutions covering WiFi systems, barcode scanners, RFID equipment and mobile computers were sold to Zebra (an enterprise label printing company). Currently, we do not expect any immediate negative impact to our sales of Motorola's WiFi solutions. However, we believe Zebra will adopt some sales strategy changes on the WiFi solutions that may affect us once the acquisition is completed by around end of 2014.
Chairman's Statement
Our data communication partner "RAD Data Communications" who has established their regional office in Hong Kong for almost 20 years serving the Southern China and South East Asia markets is going to close their Hong Kong office by the end of 2014. Their move signifies the prospect of telecommunications businesses in these regions will be tough and difficult.
The revenue from the sale of enterprise solution was HK\$4.9 million representing a marginal increase from last year. The business from enterprise solution remained stable due to the improvement in relationship building with existing clients by offering our best value added technical services. Our good working relationship as well as good technical support to clients has gained their confidence and trust.
Other than the above, the network solution sales for the Financial Year were also negatively affected by the following factors:
- a) Inadequate sales support from our main WiFi system vendor "Motorola" hampered our ability to win new orders. Though we have signed up a new WiFi vendor "Meru Networks", we need time to increase market awareness of this new WiFi system;
- b) Increased market competition and a high degree of market transparency forcing us to lower pricing and profit margin in order to secure new orders from clients; and
- c) The product range for both the enterprise and telecom solutions were not adequate and the recruitment of qualified sales representatives in Hong Kong was difficult which also accounted for the poor sales performance in the Financial Year.
Looking forward, we shall change our sales strategy in order to overcome the above mentioned difficulties.
The Project Service team achieved revenue of HK\$3.8 million which was significantly lower than last year. It was due to the cellular base station installation works for mobile operators were completed last year. In addition, the costs of engineering service were inflated due to increase in material and labour costs but no corresponding increase of service income from operators. The profit margin for project service was becoming slim.
2. Property Investment
The rental income during the Financial Year was HK\$1.5 million (2013: HK\$1.3 million). All the Group's investment properties were fully rented out as at 30 June 2014.
3. Yacht Construction and Trading
A wholly owned subsidiary was established during the Financial Year to carry on customized yacht construction and trading. The first model under construction in a shipyard rented by the Group in Aberdeen, Hong Kong is a luxury yacht with length overall of approximately 41 meters. The business model for the yacht construction and trading is aiming at the upscale market. During the Financial Year, high quality timber sourced from Myanmar was sawn to different shapes for yacht building purpose. Under current work plan, the construction of this first model will last for thirty months since July 2014.
4. Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
During the Financial Year, the Group invested in a joint venture (the "JV") with mineral exploration licenses in Mongolia. The Group owns 51% equity interest of the JV. The purpose of the JV is to discover if there is any existence of mineral resources and development potential on the mineral interests owned by the JV. Since April 2014, the JV implementing initial exploration at license number 13598X area and targeted to complete in July 2014. However, the initial exploration drilling is delayed and still underway to complete a total of 8,500 meters drilling in September 2014. The delay in initial exploration is caused by mechanical failure, geological complexity of the targeted area and also manpower constraint. Based on the recent report from our chief geologist, there was indication of potential gold and copper ore bodies in the target area under the initial exploration currently undertaking. As a result, our chief geologist advised second phase drilling was required in order to obtain more detailed and concrete results on the existence of these minerals for resources estimation and preliminary economic assessment. Accordingly, in July 2014, the JV parties agreed to increase the exploration commitment from HK\$23.4 million to HK\$69 million.
Financial Review
1. Results Analysis
For the Financial Year, the Group's revenue dropped 40.2% to HK\$22.3 million (2013: HK\$37.3 million). Around 93.2% of the Group's total revenue was generated from the NSPS business segment (2013: 96.5%).
Due to the shrinkage of business volume in respect of NSPS, the subcontracting fees for project services were also reduced substantially to HK\$3.1 million (2013: HK\$13.7 million).
During the Financial Year, the Company granted a total of 28,800,000 share options to an executive director and employees of the Group. The related share based payment expenses of HK\$7.8 million (2013: HK\$3.2 million) accounted for the increase in employee benefit expenses.
In the financial year ended 30 June 2013, the Group disposed of several investment properties and recorded a oneoff gain of HK\$10.1 million.
The property market in Hong Kong and Beijing, PRC remained fairly stable during the Financial Year therefore a slight increase in fair value of HK\$0.2 million (2013: HK\$4.0 million) was recognized.
2. Liquidity and Financial Resources
As at 30 June 2014, the capital and reserves attributable to the shareholders of the Company was HK\$328.8 million (2013: HK\$164.9 million). The sharp increase in capital and reserves was due to two fund raising exercises made by the Company during the Financial Year with details as follows:
(a) On 23 July 2013, the Company completed a rights issue of 705,190,345 ordinary shares of HK\$0.1 each at a subscription price of HK\$0.1 per share. The net proceeds from the rights issue were approximately HK\$67.6 million and intended to be applied for acquisition of assets and/or businesses should suitable opportunities become available. As at 30 June 2014, approximately HK\$14.4 million was utilized for yacht construction and trading business and for contribution to the new JV which is engaged in exploration of mineral resources in Mongolia; and
Chairman's Statement
(b) On 18 December 2013, the Company completed a placing of 420,000,000 new ordinary shares of HK\$0.1 each at a placing price of HK\$0.25 per share. The net proceeds from the placing were approximately HK\$102.8 million and are intended to be applied for acquisition of assets and/or businesses should suitable opportunities become available. As at 30 June 2014, the net proceeds had not been utilized.
The Company had no present intention to change the intended use of these net proceeds as set out in the announcements of the Company dated 13 June 2013 and 3 December 2013, respectively.
As at 30 June 2014, the Group has no bank or other borrowings (2013: Nil). The Group has sufficient liquidity and financial resources to meet its daily operational requirements.
3. Gearing
The Group had no gearing as at 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).
4. Foreign Exchange
The key operations of the Group are located in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China and Mongolia. The Group's assets and liabilities are mainly denominated Hong Kong dollars, United States dollars and Renminbi. The Group does not establish a foreign currency hedging policy. However, management of the Group continues to monitor foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant currency exposures should the need arise.
5. Contingent liabilities
As at 30 June 2014, the Group did not have material contingent liabilities (2013: Nil).
Business Outlook and Development
As at 30 June 2014, the total orders on hand for NPSP were around HK\$6.2 million. Among the orders on hand, approximately HK\$3.2 million belongs to telecom and enterprise solutions, HK\$1.6 million belongs to system maintenance services and HK\$1.4 million belongs to project service.
As mentioned previously, Symmetricom was acquired by Microsemi. We expect sooner or later, most of the synchronization systems currently supplied by Symmetricom will be obsolete since Microsemi is a component selling company instead of a system selling company. As a backup plan, we have approached two vendors namely OscilloQuartz and Time & Frequency Solutions for partnership co-operation. They offer similar products compatible to the systems which are currently provided by Symmetricom. We shall start promoting the products from these two new vendors in parallel with our current products to our clients in the coming financial year to expand our product range. Apart from the backup plan, we are also preparing to source more new vendors to complement or as replacement products for RAD.
In the new financial year, we will focus on the sales of wireless solutions for both telecom and enterprise solution in particular on WiFi system, point to point and point to multipoint wireless broadband solution.
Chairman's Statement
For the project service division, the main revenue income mainly comes from the cabling work with telecom operators in Hong Kong. In the past year, the division did try to change their focus in other areas but the course of change was slow and unsatisfactory. We note that the telecom operators in Hong Kong are going to introduce new projects such as implementation of gigabit-capable passive optical network and 4G network upgrade program etc. We will strive to win new orders from them.
In view of the persistent inflation and keen competition in Hong Kong, we do not expect a strong recovery of business for the NPSP in the near future. In light of the uncertain market situations, the Group will adopt a cautious approach to manage the business of NPSP.
The newly established yacht construction business is in the development stage. The first yacht model will only be released in 2017 according to the current work plan. Accordingly, revenue contribution from this business segment will not be foreseen until our first model is launched to the market. For the exploration and evaluation business in Mongolia, the JV has identified a target area for detailed evaluation. Based on the advice from our chief geologist, the exploration will be divided into two phases. The development prospect of this project will only be confirmed until all necessary exploration works are completed and samples are properly analysis by an accredited laboratory. In the interim, we expect operating losses from these two new businesses since they are only at the development stage. We also expect increase in Group administrative expenses such as increase in staff and rental for new office space etc.
Apart from the investments in two new businesses during the Financial Year, the Group will use best endeavours to identify and consider new investment opportunities from time to time.
Appreciation
On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all our management and colleagues for their valuable contribution to the Group. Moreover, I would also like to express appreciation to our valued shareholders, customers and business partners who have stood by the Group.
Lo Lin Shing, Simon Chairman
Hong Kong, 22 September 2014
The Board recognises the importance of maintaining a high standard of corporate governance practices to protect and enhance the benefits of the shareholders. The Board and the management of the Company have collective responsibility to maintain the interest of the shareholders and to enhance their values. They also believe good corporate governance practices can facilitate rapid growth of a company under a healthy governance structure and strengthen the confidence of shareholders and investors.
During the Financial Year, the Company had applied the principles of and complied with the code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") as set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), save for the following deviations:
i. Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive officer ("CEO") should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual.
Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon ("Mr. Lo") is the chairman of the Company and has also carried out the responsibility of CEO. Mr. Lo possesses the essential leadership skills to manage the Board and extensive knowledge in the business of the Group. The Board considers the present structure is more suitable for the Company because it can promote the efficient formulation and implementation of the Company's strategies.
ii. Under the code provision A.4.1 of the CG Code, non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term and subject to re-election.
None of the existing Non-executive Directors is appointed for a specific term which constitutes a deviation from the code provision A.4.1 of the CG Code. However, they are subject to retirement by rotation in accordance with the provisions of the Company's articles of association (the "Articles"). Therefore, the Company considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company's corporate governance practices are no less exacting than those of the CG Code.
iii. Code provisions A.5.1 to A.5.4 of the CG Code require a nomination committee to be set up, chaired by the chairman of the board or an independent non-executive director to review the structure, size and composition of the board at least annually to complement the issuer's corporate strategy.
The Company has not set up a nomination committee as required. The Board considers that it should be the responsibility of the full Board to review these matters and make decisions from time to time. The Board has already set out the criteria for selection of a director under its internal policy. According to Articles of the Company, any newly appointed Directors are required to offer themselves for re-election at the next general meeting. Furthermore, the Director re-election process participating by the shareholders in the annual general meeting (the "AGM") and the rights of shareholders to nominate a Director both ensure a right candidate to be selected to serve the Board effectively.
iv. Code provision E.1.2 of the CG Code stipulates that the chairman of the board should attend the AGM of the Company.
Due to another business engagement, the chairman of the Board did not attend the 2013 AGM. An executive Director had chaired the 2013 AGM and answered shareholders' questions. The AGM of the Company provides a channel for communication between the Board and the shareholders. Chairman of the Audit and Remuneration committees of the Company was also present and available to answer questions at the 2013 AGM.
Compliance with Model Code for Securities Transactions
The Company has adopted its own Code for Securities Transactions by the Directors (the "Code"), which are on terms no less exacting than those set out in the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules (the "Model Code"). The Company has also established Written Guidelines for Securities Transactions by Employees of the Group (the "Employees' Guidelines") on terms no less exacting than the Model Code for securities transactions by relevant employees of the Group who are likely to be in possession of unpublished inside information of the Company.
During the period of sixty days immediately preceding and including the publication date of the annual results or, if shorter, the period from the end of the relevant financial year up to and including the publication date of the annual results, all Directors and relevant employees are restricted to deal in the securities and derivatives of the Company until such results have been published.
During the period of thirty days immediately preceding and including the publication date of the half year results or, if shorter, the period from the end of the relevant financial quarterly or half year period up to and including the publication date of the half year results, all Directors and relevant employees are restricted to deal in the securities and derivatives of the Company until such results have been published.
The Company Secretary will send reminders prior to the commencement of such period to all Directors and relevant employees.
Having made specific enquiry by the Company, all Directors have confirmed in writing that they have complied with the required standards set out in the Model Code and the Code throughout the Financial Year.

Independent Auditor's Report

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF VISION VALUES HOLDINGS LIMITED
(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Vision Values Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") set out on pages 27 to 82, which comprise the consolidated and company statements of financial position as at 30 June 2014, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Directors' Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 30 June 2014, and of the Group's loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

1. General Information
Vision Values Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") are principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services and property investment business.
During the year, the Company has commenced two new businesses in order to expand its business portfolio including customised yacht building in Hong Kong and mineral exploration in Mongolia.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The address of its principal place of business is Unit 309, 3/F Fook Hong Industrial Building, 19 Sheung Yuet Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong.
The Company is listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, unless otherwise stated. These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 22 September 2014.
2. Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties which is stated at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 5.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) In the current financial year, the Group has adopted the following relevant new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations (the "new and revised HKFRSs") issued by the HKICPA:
| HKAS 19 (As revised in 2011) | Employee Benefits |
|---|---|
| HKAS 27 (As revised in 2011) | Separate Financial Statements |
| HKAS 28 (As revised in 2011) | Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures |
| HKFRSs (Amendments) | Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle |
| HKFRS 1 (Amendments) | Government Loans |
| HKFRS 7 (Amendments) | Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities |
| HKFRS 10 | Consolidated Financial Statements |
| HKFRS 11 | Joint Arrangements |
| HKFRS 12 | Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities |
| HKFRS 13 | Fair Value Measurement |
| HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and | Consolidated Financial Statement, Joint Arrangements and |
| HKFRS 12 (Amendments) | Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance |
| HK(IFRIC) — Int 20 | Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine |
New and amended standards adopted by and relevant to the Group
HKFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements" builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The new standards have no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
HKFRS 12 "Disclosures of interests in other entities" includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and other off balance sheet vehicles. The new standard results only in additional disclosures.
HKFRS 13 "Fair value measurement", which aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within HKFRSs. The new standard results only in additional disclosures.
The application of the above new standards have no material impact on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements but will result in more disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014
Effective for first annual HKFRS financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2016
7 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017
New and revised standards on HKFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"
HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach: (i) identify the contract(s) with customer; (ii) identify separate performance obligations in a contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate transaction price to performance obligations; and (v) recognise revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an 'earnings processes' to an 'asset-liability' approach based on transfer of control.
HKFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost and licence arrangements. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(a) (Continued)
New and revised standards on HKFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Continued)
HKFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: HKAS 18 "Revenue" and HKAS 11 "Construction Contracts", and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition: HK(IFRIC) 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes", HK(IFRIC) 15 "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate", HK(IFRIC) 18 "Transfers of Assets from Customers" and SIC-31 "Revenue — Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services".
The Group has assessed the impact of the above new/revised standards, amendments and interpretations and other than disclosed above, anticipated that the application of the new/revised standards, amendments and interpretations would have no significant impact to its results of operations and financial position.
(b) Group Accounting
(i) Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group's accounting policies.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(b) Group Accounting (Continued)
(ii) Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. Cost, includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee's net assets including goodwill.
(iii) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units ("CGUs"), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:
| Computer equipment | 20% — 33% |
|---|---|
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 20% — 33% |
| Leasehold improvements | shorter of the lease term or 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)
Historical costs of property, plant and equipment include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in the statement of profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The assets' useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note (d)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within other gains/(losses) — net in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
(d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (excluding Exploration and Evaluation Assets)
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are recognised at cost on initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, exploration and evaluation assets are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Exploration and evaluation assets include the cost of mining and exploration rights and the expenditures incurred in the search for mineral resources as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting those resources.
When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources become demonstrable, previously recognised exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified as mining structures and mineral properties under property, plant and equipment. These assets are assessed for impairment annually and before reclassification.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(f) Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets shall be assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an entity shall measure, present and disclose any resulting impairment loss in accordance with the policy as set out in note 2(d), as well as for circumstances below:
- the period for which the Group has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
- substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
- exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Group has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; or
- sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
An impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
(g) Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investment property are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, except for the cost of the yacht, which is determined using specific identification method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw material, direct labour and related overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(i) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
(j) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hands, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(m) Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(n) Employee Benefits
(i) Retirement Benefits
For employees in Hong Kong, a mandatory provident fund scheme ("MPF Scheme") has been established pursuant to the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Ordinance under which the Group's Hong Kong eligible employees are compulsorily required to join the MPF scheme. Employer's mandatory contributions are 100% vested in the employees as soon as they are paid to the MPF scheme.
Contributions made by the Group under the MPF Scheme are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group and managed by independent professional fund managers.
The employees of the Group's subsidiaries which operate in Mongolia are required to participate in the social insurance scheme operated by the local government. According to the "Social Insurance Law of Mongolia", these subsidiaries have a duty to withhold 10% from employees' salary or similar income and 13% as employers' contribution. Employers' contributions are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the social insurance scheme.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(n) Employee Benefits (Continued)
(ii) Employee Leave Entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
(iii) Bonus
Provisions for bonus due wholly within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
(iv) Share-based Compensation
The Group operates a share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(o) Current and Deferred Income Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(i) Current Income Tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(ii) Deferred Income Tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
(iii) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(p) Trade Payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(q) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue derived from network solutions is recognised when the delivery of goods to the customers and/or the installation work is completed.
Revenue derived from project services is recognised on the stage of completion method, measured by reference to the agreed milestones of work performed.
Revenue derived from property investment is recognised on a straight-line basis over the terms of relevant leases.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.
(r) Operating Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(s) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Directors who make strategic decisions.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(t) Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK dollars, which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
(iii) Group Companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- (a) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
- (b) Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
- (c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(u) Dividend Distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders for final dividend and Board of Directors for interim dividend.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the senior management. Management manages and monitors these risk exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on timely and effective manners.
(a) Market Risk
(i) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group operates in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Mongolia and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the United States Dollars ("US\$"), Renminbi ("RMB") and Mongolian Tugrik ("MNT"). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
The Group manages its foreign exchange risk by engaging in transactions mainly in Hong Kong Dollars ("HK\$"), US\$, RMB and MNT to the extent possible. The Group manages its exposure through constant monitoring to minimize the amount of its foreign currencies exposures.
The Group is mainly exposed to the currencies of RMB and MNT against HK\$, the functional currency of relevant group entities.
The foreign exchange risk on US\$ is insignificant as the HK\$ is pegged with the US\$.
At 30 June 2014, if the HK\$ had weakened/strengthened by 5% against the RMB with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the year would have been approximately HK\$132,000 (2013: post-tax profit of approximately HK\$122,000) lower/higher (2013: higher/lower), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of RMB-denominated cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.
At 30 June 2014, if the HK\$ had weakened/strengthened by 5% against the MNT with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the year would have been approximately HK\$31,000 (2013: Nil) lower/higher (2013: Nil), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of MNT-denominated cash and bank balances, other receivables and other payables.

4a. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)
(a) Market Risk (Continued)
(ii) Price Risk
The Group is not exposed to significant price risk.
(iii) Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk
The Group's principal interest bearing assets are bank deposits. The Group manages cash balances and deposits by comparing quotations from banks, with a view to selecting for the terms that are most favourable to the Group.
The Group is not significantly exposed to cash flow and fair value interest rate risks as the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, except for cash at banks, and has no borrowing at the year end. The Group's income and operating cashflows are substantially independent from changes in market interest rates.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
At the balance sheet date, the Group has certain concentration of credit risk as 85% (2013: 66%) of the total cash and bank balances were placed with a bank having good credit rating.
In order to minimise the credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that followup action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the Directors of the Company consider that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group has concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables from the largest customer account for 36% (2013: 34%) of the total trade receivables, and top five customers constituted 84% of the Group's trade receivables as at 30 June 2014 (2013: 81%).
Collections of outstanding receivable balances are closely monitored on an ongoing basis to minimise such credit risk.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amounts of aforementioned assets.

4a. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)
(c) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, and the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Management maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
The Group and the Company's financial liabilities were current in nature and repayable on demand. Therefore the contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Group and the Company's financial liabilities were less than one year at the year end.
4b. Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that the 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 Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.
The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Group comprising share capital and reserves.
Management of the Group reviews the capital structure regularly, taking into account of the cost and risk associated. The Group will then balance its capital structure through the payment of dividends and new shares issues.
4c. Fair Value Estimation
The carrying values of trade receivables, net of impairment provision, and payables are reasonable approximations of their fair values.
See Note 17 for disclosures of the investment properties that are measured at fair value.
5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions (Continued)
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below:
(a) Revenue Recognition
The Group uses the stage of completion method to account for its fixed-price contracts to deliver project services. The use of the stage of completion method requires the Group to estimate the services performed to date as a proportion of the total services to be performed. Were the proportion of services performed to total services to be performed to differ by 10% from management's estimates, the amount of revenue recognised in the year would be increased/decreased by HK\$100,158 (2013: HK\$71,250).
(b) Allowance for Obsolete Inventories
Management reviews the inventory listing at the end of each reporting period and identifies obsolete and slow moving inventory items which are no longer suitable for use in production or have diminution in net realisable value. In addition, management carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at the end of the reporting period and makes the necessary write-down for obsolete items.
(c) Write-downs of Inventories to Net Realisable Value
The Group writes down inventories to net realisable value based on an estimate of the realisability of inventories. Write-downs of inventories are recorded where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be realised. The identification of write-downs requires the use of estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of inventories and write-downs of inventories in the periods in which such estimate has been changed.
(d) Impairment of Receivables
Management determines the provision for impairment of trade and other receivables based on the credit history of its customers and the current market condition. The Group reassesses the provision at the end of each reporting period.
Significant judgement is exercised on the assessment of the collectability of trade receivables from each customer. In making its judgement, management considers a wide range of factors such as results of followup procedures performed by sales personnel, customer payment trends including subsequent payments and customers' financial position. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions (Continued)
(e) Fair Value of Investment Properties
Investment properties are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value as determined based on professional valuation. In determining the fair value of the investment properties, the valuer uses assumptions and estimates that reflect, amongst other things, comparable market transactions. Judgment is required to determine the principal valuation assumptions to determine the fair value of the investment properties. Change in fair value of investment properties is recorded and presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Details of the judgement and assumptions have been disclosed in Note 17.
(f) Provision of Current and Deferred Income Tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. There are transactions and calculations during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. When the expectation is different from the original estimates, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred income tax assets and taxation charges in the period in which such estimates is changed.
(g) Estimated Impairment of Goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 3(d). The recoverable amounts of the cash generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (Note 20). Adjustments will be made if the actual performance differs from the original estimates.
If the budgeted gross profit margin used in the value-in-use calculation of network solutions and project services had been 5% lower than management's estimates at 30 June 2014, or if the estimated pre-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows for the cash generating unit had been 1% higher than management's estimates, the estimated value-in-use amount would still exceed the carrying value of goodwill.
Goodwill before impairment amounting to a total of approximately HK\$3,334,000 (2013: HK\$3,334,000) was subjected to an impairment test as at 30 June 2014. No impairment charge has been recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).
5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions (Continued)
(h) Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
An entity shall assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication, based on either internal or external sources of information, that the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets acquired may be impaired. If an indication is identified, the Group shall undertake an impairment assessment. This assessment will determine whether the exploration and evaluation assets are impaired which requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the exploration and evaluation assets have been allocated, by value in use and fair value less costs to sell approaches. The assessment will estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. No indicator of impairment was identified and no impairment loss was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).
6. Revenue
An analysis of the Group's revenue for the year is as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|

7. Segment Information
The Group's reportable operating segments are: (i) network solutions and project services; (ii) property investment; (iii) yacht building; and (iv) mineral exploration.
The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Executive Directors. The Executive Directors review the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Executive Directors determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The Executive Directors assess the performance of operating segments based on a measure of segment results. This measurement basis is revenue less direct attributable expenses to revenue but excluding depreciation. Other information provided, except as described below, to the Directors is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.
7. Segment Information (Continued)
Segment assets exclude other assets that are managed on a central basis.

Fair value hierarchy
Under HKFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", the fair value measurement should be illustrated based on the three-level fair value hierarchy and the classification is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
- Level 1 valuations: fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
- Level 2 valuations: fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available; and
- Level 3 valuations: fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

(a) Amounts recognised in profit and loss for investment properties (Continued) Fair value hierarchy (Continued)
There has been no change from the valuation technique used in the prior year and it is classified as Level 2 hierarchy. During the year, there were no transfers of fair value measurements between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3. In estimating the fair value of the properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current use.
The fair value of investment properties were revalued on an open market value basis at 30 June 2014 by Cushman & Wakefield Valuation Advisory Services (HK) Ltd, an independent professionally qualified valuer. The valuation was based on current prices in an active market, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset.
The locations and lease terms of the investment properties are analysed as follows:
| 2014 HK\$'000 |
2013 HK\$'000 |

|---|---|---|
| In Hong Kong, held on medium-term leases | 14,375 | 14,150 |

Impairment tests for goodwill
The Group completed its annual impairment test for goodwill allocated to the Group's CGUs as disclosed below by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount at the end of the reporting period. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations are cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering 5 years (2013: 5 years). Cash flows beyond 2018 are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate stated below.
The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Network | |
| solutions and | solutions and | |

Share option scheme
The share option scheme for the Group is valid and effective for a period of 10 years commencing on 23 November 2011 (the "2011 Share Option Scheme"). The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted to each participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the shares in issue from time to time unless separately approved by the shareholders in general meeting.
An option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the scheme at any time during the period as the board of Directors at their absolute discretion determine and in any event such period shall not be more than 10 years from the date upon which the offer of the option is made to the grantee. The Directors may, if consider appropriate, determine the minimum period for which an option must be held before it can be exercised.
Upon acceptance of the offer for an option, the grantee shall pay HK\$1.00 as consideration for the grant. The subscription price of a share in respect of any option granted shall be determined by the board of Directors at their absolute discretion but shall be at least the highest of (i) the closing price of the shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotations sheet on the date of grant; (ii) the average closing price of the shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotations sheets for the 5 business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of a share.
