NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investment properties and certain financial assets, which have been measured at fair value. Non-current asset held for sale is stated at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
Basis of consolidation
Basis of consolidation from 1 April 2010
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entity for the year ended 31 March 2011. The financial statements of the subsidiaries and jointly controlled entity are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the jointly-controlled entity are proportionally consolidated from the date on which joint control was established and obtained by the Group, and continue to be proportionally consolidated until the date that such joint control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated on consolidation in full.
Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate.
Basis of consolidation prior to 1 April 2010
Certain of the above-mentioned requirements have been applied on a prospective basis. The following differences, however, are carried forward in certain instances from the previous basis of consolidation:
-
Acquisition of non-controlling interests (formerly known as minority interests), prior to 1 April 2010, were accounted for using the parent entity extension method, whereby the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired were recognised in goodwill.
-
Losses incurred by the Group were attributed to the non-controlling interest until the balance was reduced to nil. Any further excess losses were attributable to the parent, unless the non-controlling interest had a binding obligation to cover these. Losses prior to 1 April 2010 were not reallocated between non-controlling interest and the parent shareholders.
-
Upon loss of control, the Group accounted for the investment retained at its proportionate share of net asset value at the date control was lost. The carrying amount of such investment at 1 April 2010 has not been restated.

Other than as further explained below regarding the impact of HKFRS 3 (Revised), HKAS 27 (Revised), amendments to HKAS 7 and HKAS 17 included in Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 , HK Interpretation 4 (Revised in December 2009) and HK Interpretation 5, the adoption of the new and revised HKFRSs has had no significant financial effect on these financial statements.
The principal effects of adopting these new and revised HKFRSs are as follows:
- (a) HKFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations and HKAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
HKFRS 3 (Revised) introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that affect the initial measurement of non-controlling interests, the accounting for transaction costs, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of a contingent consideration and business combinations achieved in stages. These changes will impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results.
HKAS 27 (Revised) requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary without loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such a change will have no impact on goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the revised standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. Consequential amendments were made to various standards, including, but not limited to HKAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows , HKAS 12 Income Taxes , HKAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates , HKAS 28 Investments in Associates and HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures .
The changes introduced by these revised standards are applied prospectively and affect the accounting of acquisitions, loss of control and transactions with non-controlling interests after 1 April 2010.

(b) Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 and HK Interpretation 4 Amendment
Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 issued in May 2009 sets out amendments to a number of HKFRSs. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. While the adoption of some of the amendments results in changes in accounting policies, none of these amendments has had a significant financial impact on the Group. Details of the key amendments most applicable to the Group are as follows:
-
HKAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows : Requires that only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities.
-
HKAS 17 Leases : Removes the specific guidance on classifying land as a lease. As a result, leases of land should be classified as either operating or finance leases in accordance with the general guidance in HKAS 17.
Amendment to HK Interpretation 4 Leases — Determination of the Length of Lease Term in respect of Hong Kong Land Leases is revised as a consequence of the amendment to HKAS 17 Leases included in Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 . Following this amendment, the scope of HK Interpretation 4 has been expanded to cover all land leases, including those classified as finance leases. As a result, this interpretation is applicable to all leases of property accounted for in accordance with HKAS 16, HKAS 17 and HKAS 40.
The Group has reassessed its leases in Hong Kong, previously classified as operating leases, upon the adoption of the amendments. As substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the leases in Hong Kong have been transferred to the Group, the leases in Hong Kong have been reclassified from operating leases under “prepaid land lease payments” to finance leases under “property, plant and equipment”. The corresponding amortisation has also been reclassified to depreciation. The effects of the above changes are summarised below:
| Consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March Decrease in amortisation of prepaid land lease payments Increase in depreciation of property, plant and equipment Consolidated statement of financial position at 31 March Decrease in prepaid land lease payments, net Increase in property, plant and equipment, net Consolidated statement of financial position at 1 April 2009 Decrease in prepaid land lease payments, net Increase in property, plant and equipment, net |
2011 HK$’000 (85) 85 — (3,086) 3,086 — |
2010 HK$’000 (85) 85 — (3,171) 3,171 — (3,256) 3,256 — |
|---|---|---|
Due to the retrospective application of the amendments which has resulted in the restatement of items in the consolidated statement of financial position, a consolidated statement of financial position as at 1 April 2009, and the related notes affected by the amendments have been presented in these financial statements.
– 7 –
(c) HK Interpretation 5: Presentation of Financial Statements — Classification by the Borrower of a Term Loan that Contains a Repayment on Demand Clause
HK Interpretation 5 requires that a loan that contains a clause that gives the lender the unconditional right to call the loan at any time shall be classified in total by the borrower as current in the statement of financial position. This is irrespective of whether a default event has occurred and notwithstanding any other terms and maturity stated in the loan agreement.
Prior to the adoption of this interpretation, the term loans of the Group and the Company were classified in the consolidated and company statements of financial position, respectively, separately as to the current and non-current liability portions based on the maturity dates of repayment. Upon the adoption of the interpretation, the term loans have been reclassified as current liabilities. The interpretation has been applied by the Group and the Company retrospectively and comparative amounts have been restated. In addition, as a result of this change and as required by HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements , these financial statements also include consolidated and company statements of financial position as at 1 April 2009.
The above change has had no effect on the reported profit or loss, total comprehensive income or equity of the Group and the Company for any period presented. The effect on the consolidated and company statements of financial position at 31 March is summarised as follows:
Group
| CURRENT LIABILITIES Increase in interest-bearing bank loans NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES Decrease in interest-bearing bank loans Company CURRENT LIABILITIES Increase in interest-bearing bank loans NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES Decrease in interest-bearing bank loans |

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has six reportable operating segments as follows:
-
(a) the property development segment engages in the development of properties;
-
(b) the property investment segment engages in investment and trading of industrial and commercial premises and residential units for rental or for sale;
-
(c) the Chinese wet markets segment engages in the management and sub-licensing of Chinese wet markets;
-
(d) the shopping centres and car parks segment engages in the management and sub-licensing of shopping centres and car parks;
-
(e) the agricultural by-product wholesale markets segment engages in the operations and management of agricultural by-product wholesale markets; and
-
(f) the trading of agricultural by-products segment engages in the wholesale and retail of agricultural by-products.
Management monitors the results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/(loss), which is a measure of adjusted profit/(loss) before tax. The adjusted profit/(loss) before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s profit before tax except that interest income, finance costs, head office and corporate income and expenses and share of profits and losses of associates are excluded from such measurement.
Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 1,481,061,256 (2010: 253,319,170) in issue during the year, as adjusted to reflect the consolidation of shares, the rights issue and the bonus issues associated with the rights issue during the year.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent and the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares, as adjusted for the consolidation of shares, the rights issue and the bonus issues associated with the rights issue during the year.
No adjustment has been made to the basic earnings per share amounts presented for the years ended 31 March 2011 and 2010 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the share options outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share amount presented.
The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are based on:

10. TRADE RECEIVABLES
An aged analysis of the trade receivables as at the end of the reporting period, based on the invoice date, is as follows:
| Within 90 days 91 days to 180 days Over 180 days Less: Impairment |
Group 2011 2010 HK$’000 HK$’000 7,097 6,065 847 155 523 212 8,467 6,432 (189) (119) 8,278 6,313 |
|---|---|
The Group generally grants a 15 to 30 days credit period to customers for its sub-leasing business. The Group generally does not grant any credit to customers of other businesses.
The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group’s trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.
The movements in provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:
| At 1 April Impairment losses recognised Impairment losses reversed Amount written off as uncollectible At 31 March |
Group 2011 2010 HK$’000 HK$’000 119 271 189 — (75) (122) (44) (30) 189 119 |
|---|---|
Included in the above provision for impairment of trade receivables is a provision for individually impaired trade receivables relate to of HK$189,000 (2010: HK$119,000) with a carrying amount before provision of HK$711,000 (2010: HK$379,000).
The individually impaired trade receivables relate to customers that were in financial difficulties and only a portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances.
– 17 –
The aged analysis of the trade receivables that are not individually nor collectively considered to be impaired is as follows:
| follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Neither past due nor impaired Less than 90 days past due 91 to 180 days past due |

|
| 6,053 |
Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a large number of diversified customers for whom there were no recent history of default.
Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances.
11. TRADE PAYABLES

Profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders was approximately HK$226.2 million (2010: approximately HK$108.1 million).

Revenue for this division for the year ended 31 March 2011 amounted to approximately HK$219.6 million (2010: approximately HK$207.7 million), representing an increase of approximately HK$11.9 million. This was chiefly contributed by the additional revenue generated from the management of a new Chinese wet market at Heng On Estate.
The Group currently manages a portfolio of approximately 1,100 stalls operated at 16 “Allmart” brand Chinese wet markets in Hong Kong with a gross floor area of over 350,000 square feet. The Group also manages a portfolio of approximately 1,100 stalls occupying a total gross floor area of over 273,000 square feet in 17 “Humin” brand Chinese wet markets in various districts in Shenzhen.

The turnover for this division for the year ended 31 March 2011 amounted to approximately HK$18.8 million (2010: approximately HK$21.8 million), representing a decrease of approximately HK$3.0 million compared to the same period last year. This was mainly due to the slight decline of trading activities in the agricultural by-products wholesale market at Fanling.
– 20 –
During the year, the Group had disposed of its entire 50% interest in an agricultural by-products wholesale market at Changzhou.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
As at 31 March 2011, the Group’s total assets less current liabilities were approximately HK$3.3 billion (2010: approximately HK$2.2 billion) and the current ratio increased from approximately 1.93 times as at 31 March 2010 to approximately 4.31 times as at 31 March 2011.
As at 31 March 2011, the Group had cash resources and short-term investments of approximately HK$1,151.5 million (2010: approximately HK$574.4 million).

The gearing ratio was nil (2010: approximately 17.8%), calculated by reference to the Group’s total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents and the equity attributable to equity holders of the Company.
As at 31 March 2011, the Group’s investment properties, with a total carrying value of approximately HK$587.6 million (2010: approximately HK$651.9 million), were pledged to secure the Group’s general banking facilities totalling approximately HK$232.9 million (2010: approximately HK$349.4 million).
The Group’s capital commitment as at 31 March 2011 amounted to approximately HK$275.5 million (2010: approximately HK$7.0 million). The Group had no significant contingent liabilities as at the end of the reporting period.
Management is of the opinion that the Group’s existing financial resources are sufficient for the Group’s needs in the foreseeable future.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Company underwent a capital reorganisation which became effective on 27 January 2011 (the “ 2011 Capital Reorganisation ”) comprising, among others, (i) the consolidation of every 5 shares of HK$0.05 each then in issue into one consolidated share of HK$0.25 and the subdivision of every one authorised but unissued shares of HK$0.05 each into five authorised but unissued adjusted share of HK$0.01 each; and (ii) the capital reduction of the nominal value of each issued consolidated share from HK$0.25 to HK$0.01, details of which were disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 13 December 2010 and circular dated 4 January 2011, respectively.
FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES
For the purpose of strengthening the capital base and raising funds for future development of the core businesses of the Group and for taking advantage of any other potential investment opportunities, immediately following the 2011 Capital Reorganisation becoming effectively on 27 January 2011 and as announced by the Company earlier on 13 December 2010, the Company issued and allotted 5,219,948,064 rights shares and 652,493,449 bonus shares of HK$0.01 each on 22 February 2011 pursuant to a rights issue (with bonus issue) on the basis of eight rights shares for every one share (as adjusted by the 2011 Capital Reorganisation) held by the shareholders, with a bonus issue on the basis of one bonus share for every eight rights shares taken up under the rights issue at the price of HK$0.1 per rights share. Net proceeds of approximately HK$507.6 million were raised and were intended to be applied towards the Group’s property development business, repayment of interest bearing debts and general working capital of the Group.
– 21 –
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
The Board is of the opinion that the Group has no material foreign exchange exposure. All bank borrowings are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. The revenue of the Group, being mostly denominated in Hong Kong dollars, matches the currency requirements of the Group’s operating expenses. The Group therefore does not engage in any hedging contracts.
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES
At the end of the reporting period, the Group had 234 (2010: 250) employees, of whom approximately 89.3% were located in Hong Kong and the rest were located in the PRC. The Group remunerates its employees mainly based on industry practices and individual performance and experience. On top of the regular remuneration, discretionary bonus and share options may be granted to selected staff by reference to the Group’s performance as well as the individual’s performance. Other benefits such as medical and retirement benefits and structured training programs are also provided.
PROSPECTS
The property market in Hong Kong has been stable in the first half of 2011. The public land auctions in May were well attended by major property developers. The bidding process was swift and the final bid prices were on the high side compared to general expectations. With the improving labour market conditions, continuity inflation, limited supply of new residential units in the next few years and solid support from market demand, the prospects of the Hong Kong residential property market remain promising.
The Group continues to be the leading manager of the Chinese wet markets in Hong Kong and aims to secure more Chinese wet market management contracts in both private and public sectors in Hong Kong. Additional efforts and resources will be allocated to the PRC market so as to increase our presence in more cities and enjoy the benefit derived from economies of scale.
Given our concrete expertise and experience in the Hong Kong property market and in Chinese wet market management, the Group is cautiously optimistic about its future growth in the coming years.
