The Offers are made on 7 July 2014, being the date of posting of this Composite Document, and are capable of acceptance on and from that date until the close of the Offer Period.
-
The Offers will initially remain open for acceptances until 4:00 p.m. on 28 July 2014 unless the Offeror revises or extends the Offers in accordance with the Takeovers Code. The Offeror has the right under the Takeovers Code to extend the Offers until such date as it may determine in accordance with the Takeovers Code (or as permitted by the Executive in accordance with the Takeovers Code). The Offeror will issue an announcement in relation to any extension of the Offers, which announcement will state either the next Closing Date or, if the Share Offer is at that time unconditional as to acceptances, a statement that the Offers will remain open until further notice. In the latter case, at least 14 days’ notice in writing must be given before the Offers are closed to those Shareholders and Optionholders who have not accepted the Offers.
-
Beneficial owners of Shares who hold their Shares in CCASS directly as an investor participant or indirectly via a broker or custodian participant should note the timing requirements (as set out in Appendix I to this Composite Document) for causing instructions to be made to CCASS in accordance with the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures.

The Share Offer is conditional on the satisfaction of the following conditions:
-
(a) valid acceptances of the Share Offer being received (and not, where permitted, withdrawn) by 4:00 p.m. on the Closing Date (or such later time or date as the Offeror may, subject to the Takeovers Code, decide) in respect of Shares which, together with Shares acquired or agreed to be acquired before or during the Offers, will result in the Offeror and its Concert Parties holding more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company;
-
(b) the Shares remaining listed and traded on the Stock Exchange up to the Closing Date save for any temporary suspension(s) of trading in the Shares as a result of the Offers and no indication being received on or before the Closing Date from the SFC and/or the Stock Exchange to the effect that the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange is or is likely to be withdrawn, other than as a result of the Offers; and
-
(c) no event having occurred which would make the Offers or the acquisition of any of the Shares or cancellation of the Options under the Offers void, unenforceable or illegal or their implementation being prohibited or which would impose material conditions, limitations or obligations with respect to the Offers.
The Offeror reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, Condition (b). Conditions (a) and (c) cannot be waived.
Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror should not invoke any of the Conditions (other than Condition (a)) so as to cause the Offers to lapse unless the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Condition are of material significance to the Offeror in the context of the Offers.
The Option Offer is conditional upon the Share Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects.
If the Conditions are not satisfied (or not waived where applicable) on or before the first Closing Date, the Share Offer will lapse. The Offeror will issue an announcement in relation to the revision, extension or lapse of the Share Offer or the fulfilment (or if permissible, waiver)

LETTER FROM KINGSTON SECURITIES
of the Conditions in accordance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules as soon as practicable thereafter. The latest time on which the Offeror can declare the Share Offer unconditional as to acceptance is 7:00 p.m. on the 60th day after the posting of the Composite Document (or such later date to which the Executive may consent).
WARNING: Shareholders, Optionholders and/or potential investors of the Company should note that the Share Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where applicable) of the Conditions, and the Option Offer is subject to, and conditional upon, the Share Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects. The Offers may or may not become unconditional. Shareholders, Optionholders and/or potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company (including the Shares and any options or rights in respect of them). Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their licensed securities dealers or registered institutions in securities, bank managers, solicitors, professional accountants or other professional advisers.
D. MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF THE COMPANY
The Offeror intends to maintain the listing status of the Company on the Stock Exchange. If the Offeror acquires the requisite percentage of the Offer Shares to enable it to compulsorily acquire all the issued Shares, the Offeror does not intend to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire the remaining Shares. The Offeror will take such steps as are necessary to ensure, or procure the Company to take such steps as are necessary to ensure, that the Company maintains an adequate public float so as to comply with the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules.
According to the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange has stated that if, upon the close of the Offers, less than 25% of the issued Shares are held by the public, or if the Stock Exchange believes that a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares or there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealings in the Shares. In this connection, it should be noted that upon the close of the Share Offer, there may be insufficient public float for the Shares and therefore trading in the Shares may be suspended until a sufficient level of public float is attained.
The Offeror intends the Company to remain listed on the Stock Exchange. The sole director of the Offeror and any new directors to be appointed to the Board (if any) will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares. Any future transactions between the Group and the Offeror will be carried out on an arm’s length basis and in compliance with the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM KINGSTON SECURITIES
F. INFORMATION OF WAI YUEN TONG
Wai Yuen Tong is an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability and whose shares are listed and traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 897). Wai Yuen Tong and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in (i) manufacturing, processing and retailing of traditional Chinese medicine, which includes Chinese medicinal products sold under the brand name of ‘‘Wai Yuen Tong’’ and a range of products manufactured by selected medicinal materials with traditional prescription, mainly in the PRC and Hong Kong; (ii) processing and retailing of western pharmaceutical, health food and personal care products under the brand names of ‘‘Madame Pearl’s’’ and ‘‘Pearl’s’’, respectively; and (iii) property investment.
G. REASONS FOR THE OFFERS AND THE EXPECTED BENEFITS
The Offeror believes that the Company is well positioned for growth within the market, and the Group’s future development could benefit from further support of its single largest shareholder. Mr. Tang Ching Ho is a founder of the Company and had played an important role in steering the Company’s strategies and development over the years. The acquisition by Mr. Tang Ching Ho of a controlling stake in the Company would benefit the Group as it would incentivise him to play an even greater role in directing the future of the Group and provide the Group with the vision it requires to create greater value for the Shareholders.
The Offeror further believes that the Share Offer provides an opportunity for the Independent Shareholders to monetise some or all of their investments in return for immediate cash. The Share Offer Price represents a 25.00% premium over the closing price of HK$0.184 per Share on the Last Trading Date, approximately 26.51% premium over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.1818 per Share for the last 30 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Date and no premium or discount to the closing price of HK$0.23 per Share on the Latest Practicable Date. The Offeror believes that the Share Offer represents an attractive premium to the prices at which the market has valued the Company.
H. INTENTIONS OF THE OFFEROR IN RELATION TO THE GROUP
Following completion of the Offers, the Offeror intends that the Group will continue to operate its business in substantially its current state. The Offeror has no intention to introduce major changes to the business of the Group including (i) the introduction of significant changes in the management and employees of the Group; and (ii) the redeployment of the fixed assets of the Group as a result of the completion of the Offers (other than those changes which may occur in the ordinary course of business). However, the Offeror reserves the right to make any changes that it deems necessary or appropriate to the Group’s businesses and operations to optimise the value of the Group.
I. OVERSEAS HOLDERS
The Offeror intends to make the Share Offer and Option Offer available to all Independent Shareholders and Optionholders, respectively, including those who are not resident in Hong Kong. The making and the implementation of the Share Offer and Option Offer to the Independent Shareholders and Optionholders who are not resident in Hong Kong may be

The Offeror will apply for any waivers as may be required by the Executive pursuant to Note 3 to Rule 8 of the Takeovers Code at such time.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
As set out above and according to the Annual Report, the substantial increase of the Group’s revenue from approximately HK$744 million in FY 2013 to approximately HK$1,597 million in FY 2014 was mainly contributed by the increase in the amount of the sale of properties in Hong Kong which increased from approximately HK$469 million in FY 2013 to approximately HK$1,359 million in FY 2014. The increase in the sale of properties segment for the FY 2014 was contributed by the disposal of (i) the Group’s two development projects in Hong Kong, called ‘‘The Met.Focus’’, a residential building located in Pak Kung Street, Hung Hom and the ‘‘726 Nathan Road’’, a commercial building located in Nathan Road, Mong Kok and (ii) 16 shops in Grandeur Terrace, a shopping mall located in Tin Shui Wai.
The sub-licensing fee income and property management fee income of the Group was mainly derived from the business of management and sub-licensing of Chinese wet markets. The turnover recorded for aforesaid business for the FY2014 amounted to approximately HK$194.4 million representing a decrease of approximately HK$26.2 million when compare with that of the last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to the expiration of licences with the landlord for the Chinese wet markets at Hau Tak Estate, Tseung Kwan O and Yiu On Estate, Ma On Shan during the FY 2014.
The Group received gross rental income of approximately HK$43.7 million in FY 2014 which represent a decrease of approximately HK$10.6 million when compared to that in FY 2013. The decrease in gross rental income was mainly due to the disposal of some investment properties during the financial year 2014.
As at 31 March 2014, PNG Resources Holdings Limited was indebted to the Group in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately HK$107.6 million, at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum and repayable within one year. As at 31 March 2014, China Agri-Products Exchange Limited, a listed company in the Stock Exchange, was indebted to the Group in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of HK$880.0 million, at the interest rates ranging from 10% to 12% per annum and repayable within one to three years.

3. Outlook of the Company’s business
(i) Sale of properties
As shown in the table in the section headed ‘‘2. Financial information of the Group’’ above, we noted that over 85% of the Group’s turnover was contributed from the sale of properties in Hong Kong in FY 2014. According to the information provided by the management of the Company and the Annual Report, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has five development land portfolio that would launch or the relevant revenue and profit will be recognized in the coming few years, detailed of which are set out below:

According to the Company, given the existing development land portfolio of the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date, the dollar amount of presale recorded from property number 1, property number 2 and property number 3 as stated in the above table was approximately HK$2 billion which will be recognized as revenue of the Group in the coming two financial years. In addition, the Group will launch the remaining units of
– 29 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
development project in Sai Ying Pun in financial year 2015 and will launch the other two development projects in the financial year 2017 and 2018 with site areas of approximately 2,100 square feet and 41,000 square feet respectively.
According to the ‘‘Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics — June 2014’’ (the ‘‘Statistics’’) published by the Census and Statistics Department, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in June 2014, we noted that the number and consideration of documents received for registration in the Land Registry regarding the sale and purchase of residential units has been experienced a downward trend for the past few years.
According to the Statistics, the number of sale and purchase of residential units decreased from 84,462 in 2011 to 50,676 in 2013. And the figure further decreased by 3,135 to 20,839 for the first five months ended 31 May 2014 when compared with that for the same period in 2013. The consideration of the agreement for sale and purchase of residential units decreased from approximately HK$442,527 million in 2011 to approximately HK$298,942 million in 2013. And the figure further decreased by approximately HK$7,144 million to approximately HK$129,873 million for the first five months ended 31 May 2014 when compared with that for the same period in 2013.
According to the Statistics, the average price of usable floor of private domestic premises in Hong Kong Island (apartment with usable floor within 40–69.9 square meter) increased from approximately HK$101,779 per square meter in 2011 to approximately HK$126,642 per square meter in 2013. However, the figure decreased by approximately HK$4,222 to approximately HK$123,361 per square meter for the first four months ended 30 April 2014 when compared with that for the same period in 2013.
With reference to the Statistics, the average price of usable floor of private office (Grade A) in Kwun Tong increased from approximately HK$116,512 per square meter in February 2013 to approximately HK$149,223 per square meter in April 2014.
Since we are not expert in Hong Kong’s property market, it is impracticable to predict the future trend of the price of residential and commercial properties in Hong Kong. However, based on the statistic information as stated above, we noted that (i) there is a downward trend in the price of the residential properties in Hong Kong in the past few year; and (ii) there is an upward trend in the price of grade A commercial building in Kwun Tong in the past year.
Since the Group is expected to launch one commercial building project and one residential/commercial building project in the coming few years, the turnover contributed from the aforesaid two projects is uncertain.
(ii) Sub-licensing fee income and property management fee income
According to the management of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group managed a portfolio of approximately 750 stalls in 12 ‘‘Allmart’’ brand of Chinese wet markets in Hong Kong with a total floor area of over 280,000 square feet. In the
– 30 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
PRC, the Group managed a portfolio of approximately 1,000 stalls in 17 Chinese wet markets with a total gross floor area of over 283,000 square feet under ‘‘Huimin’’ brand in various district of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
As shown in the table in the section headed ‘‘2. Financial information of the Group’’ above, we noted that approximately 12.17% of the Group’s turnover was contributed from sub-licensing fee income and property management fee income in FY 2014. According to the management of the Company, most of the sub-licensing fee income and property management fee income recorded by the Group was contributed from the management and sub-licensing of Chinese wet markets business.
Since the amount of the sub-licensing fee income and the property management fee income is subject to the number of the management contract of Chinese wet markets on hand, the number of renewal of the existing management contracts or addition of new management contracts would influence the turnover of the aforesaid business.
According to the information provided by the management of the Company in relation to the terms of the existing management contracts entered into between the Group and the landlords of the Chinese wet markets, we noted that 6 out of 29 of Chinese wet markets that under management by the Group are subject to renewal in the coming year. If the Company cannot renew the aforesaid management contracts upon their expiration, the turnover derived from the sub-licensing fee income and the property management fee income would be adversely affected.
Since it is impracticable to predict whether the Group can renew the aforesaid management contracts upon their expiration, we cannot predict the impact of the aforesaid to the Group’s turnover. Therefore, the outlook of the turnover derived from the sublicensing fee income and the property management fee income is uncertain.
(iii) Rental income from property investment
As shown in the table in the section headed ‘‘2. Financial information of the Group’’ above, we noted that approximately 2.74% of the Group’s turnover was contributed from the gross rental income in FY2014.
According to the information provided by the management of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has (i) 11 leased commercial properties and 7 out of 13 tenancy agreements are subject to renewal in the financial year ended 31 March 2015; and (ii) 62 residential units and 172 out of 248 tenancy agreements are subject to renewal in the financial year ended 31 March 2015.
With reference to the Statistic, the average monthly rents of private retail properties in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories in 2013 are approximately HK$1,552 per square meter, approximately HK$1,485 per square meter and approximately HK$1,178 per square meter respectively which represent an increase of approximately 19.8%, approximately 19.5% and approximately 13.5% respectively when compared with that figures for year 2011.
– 31 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The aforesaid figures for the first four months ended 30 April 2014 further increased by approximately 6.8%, approximately 13.8% and approximately 12.5% when compared with that figures for the same period in 2013.
Since it is impracticable to predict whether the Group can renew the relevant tenancy agreements with the tenant with acceptable rents or not, the performance of this business segment is uncertain.
In view of the analysis as stated above, we consider that the future financial performance of the Group is uncertain.
4. Information on the Offeror

The Offeror is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is directly and wholly-owned by Mr. Tang Ching Ho.

In this connection, it should be noted that upon the close of the Share Offer, there may be insufficient public float for the Shares and therefore trading in the Shares may be suspended until a sufficient level of public float is attained, and each of the Offeror and the Company will undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares after closing of the Share Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Net asset value per Share
According to the Annual Report, the consolidated net asset per Share as at 31 March 2014 was approximately HK$0.5996. According to the management of the Company and the information provided by the Company regarding the valuation of the properties held by the Group as at 31 March 2014 and valuation reports as stated in Appendix III of the Composite Document, the properties held by the Group are classified into four categories, i.e. (i) properties held by the Group for investment; (ii) properties held by the Group for sale; (iii) properties held by the Group for development; and (iv) properties held for owner occupation. For properties held by the Group for investment, the Group would conduct valuation on such properties at the end of each financial year so as to consider whether there is any increase or decrease in the value of the properties under this category that would affect the fair value of the properties held by the Group for investment. According to the valuation of the properties held by the Group as at 31 March 2014 and valuation report as stated in Appendix III of the Composite Document, we noted that the value of the properties held by the Group for investment as at 31 March 2014 is indifferent with that in valuation report in Appendix III of this circular. For properties held for owner occupation, the value at the end of each financial year are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Regarding the categories of properties held by the Group for sale and properties held by the Group for development, according to the Annual Report and the management of the Group, the value of the properties held by the Group under this category are based on cost approach according to the Group’s accounting policies and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the financial information of the Group would not reflect the market value of the said properties until completion of the construction of the properties and/or the completion of sale of those properties. Given that the said properties under the category of properties held by the Group for development are still under construction and the construction cost is not finalized, the cost of development (including but not limited to, the construction cost and the tax effect) in respect of properties held for development cannot be ascertained as at the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, the sales transaction of the said properties have not been completed and the revenue has not been accounted for as at the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, as we cannot estimate the net asset value per Share without uncertainty as at the Latest Practicable Date, we have adopted the net asset value per Share according to the Annual Report.
For indication purpose only, we have re-assessed the net asset value per Share (the ‘‘Re-assessed NAV’’) based on the Annual Report, information provided by the management of the Company and the valuation reports as stated in Appendix III of the Composite Document.
We discussed with Asset Appraisal Limited (‘‘Asset Appraisal’’) and Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited (‘‘Vigers Appraisal’’) regarding the valuation methodologies and assumptions of their valuation reports and noted that (i) the valuation report prepared by Asset Appraisal are based on comparison method where comparison based on prices realized or market prices of comparable properties is made and (ii) the valuation report prepared by Vigers Appraisal are based on investment approach as well
– 36 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
as the comparison approach which capitalizes the rent receivable from the existing tenancies and the potential reversionary market rent of the property interests taking into account the market rental comparables in the open market and with reference to comparable transactions in the market. We also noted that the aforesaid valuation reports have been prepared in according with chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Listing Rules and The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
After discussion with Asset Appraisal and Vigers Appraisal, we noted that both Ms. Sandra Lau from Asset Appraisal and Mr. Gilbert K.M. Yuen from Vigers Appraisal are the registered professional surveyor in general practice and Ms. Sandra Lau has over 10 years’ experience in valuation of properties in Hong Kong, in Macau and in the PRC and Mr. Gilbert K.M. Yuen has over 20 years’ valuation experience on properties in Hong Kong.
The market value of property numbered 15 (nos. 13 and 15, Sze Shan Street, Yau Tong, Kowloon), the estimated market value is subject to the payment of land premium to the Hong Kong Government for the lease modification that is not yet agreed between the Company and the relevant government department as at the Latest Practicable Date. However, according to the information of Land Department, the general principal of the amount of the land premium should be equal to the difference between the land value of the development permitted under the existing lease conditions and that permissible under the new lease conditions which the Company have to pay before the completion of the lease modification. Therefore, there is no effect on the net asset value of the Group.
Based on the aforesaid information, the Re-assessed NAV is approximately HK$0.6629. Shareholder should be noted that the Re-assessed NAV is a hypothesis figure and is subject to number of factors or uncertainties as stated above.
As illustrated by the chart and table as stated in paragraph headed ‘‘Historical price performance of the Shares’’ above, during the Review Period, the trading price of the Shares and the Share Offer Price was below the aforesaid consolidated net asset per Share.
Set out below are the comparison of the ratio of Share Offer Price to net asset per Share (‘‘PB Ratio’’) to that of other listed companies in the Stock Exchange (the ‘‘Industrial Comparable ’’) with (i) similar market capitalization to the Company as at the Last Trading Date (i.e. with market capitalization in between HK$1.0 billion to HK$1.5 billion as the market capitalization of the Company as at the Last Trading Date was approximately HK$1.2 billion); and (ii) similar business, i.e. over 50% revenue are contributed from the sale of properties with reference to their relevant latest annual report.

(i) The PB Ratio of the Company is based on the Share Offer Price and the net asset per Share as at 31 March 2014
-
(ii) The PB Ratio of the Company is based on the Share Offer Price and the Re-assessed NAV
As indicated in the above table, the PB Ratio of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 0.1363 times to approximately 0.2941 times with mean of approximately 0.2126 times. The PB Ratio implied by the Share Offer Price and the Reassessed NAV, being 0.3836 times and 0.3470 times respectively is above the range of the PB Ratio of the Industry Comparable.
However, we consider that (i) the trading price of the Shares is determined under an open market which is a fair market price, i.e. it is the value a willing buyer is prepared to buy and a willing seller is prepared to sell for each Share on the Stock Exchange; and (ii) the net asset per Share is a reference to the value of the Share that may be returned to

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Shareholders if the Company is put under liquidation (in a non-distressed state and assuming willing buyers of assets at the stated value) but it is not a cash value which the Shareholders may require the Company to pay in return for each Share. Accordingly, we consider it is more appropriate to ascertain the Share Offer Price based on the historical market prices of the Company rather than the net asset value of the Company and the comparison of PB Ratio implied by the Share Offer Price to the Industry Comparable provides an additional information for the Independent Shareholder to consider the fairness of the Share Offer Price.

Notes:
-
(1) Trading in the Shares was suspended from 5 December 2013 to 19 December 2013 (both days inclusive)
-
(2) Based on 6,524,935,021 Shares in issue as at the date of the Offer Announcement
-
(3) Based on 4,667,768,975 Shares held by the public as at the date of the Offer Announcement
We noted from the above table that the volume of the Shares traded during the Review Period was below 1% of the total number of issued Shares held by the public as at the Last Trading Date and thus, trading in the Shares had been thin. In light of that the Shares are illiquid, the disposal of large block of Shares held by the Shareholders in the open market would likely to trigger price slump of the Shares. For this reason, there is no guarantee that Independent Shareholders will be able to realize their investments in the Company (especially those with relatively sizeable shareholdings) at a price higher than the Share Offer Price given the market price of the Shares is HK$0.23 as the Latest Practicable Date, which is equal to the Share Offer Price. We, therefore, consider that the Share Offer provides an exit alternative for the Independent Shareholders who would like to realize their investments in the Company.
Nonetheless, if any Independent Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the Company are able to dispose of their Shares in the open market and/or identify potential purchaser(s) to acquire for their Shares at a price higher than the Share Offer Price, those Independent Shareholders may consider not accepting the Offers but selling their Shares in the open market and/or to such potential purchaser(s), as they wish to do so and as they think fit having regard to their own circumstances, in case the net proceeds from the sale of their Shares would exceed the net amount receivable under the Share Offer.
For those Independent Shareholders who, after reading through the Composite Document and this letter and having regard to their own circumstances, consider retaining all or any part of their Shares should note there are some uncertainties in the outlook of the Group’s business as stated in the section headed ‘‘Outlook of the Group’s business’’ above.
Accordingly, Independent Shareholders should closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period and carefully consider the relevant risks and uncertainties based on their individual risk preference and tolerance level. Those Independent Shareholders who decide to retain part or all of their investments in the Company should also carefully monitor the financial performance of the Group as well as the intention of the Offeror in relation to the Company in the future, and the potential difficulties that they may encounter in disposing of their investments in the Shares after the close of the Share Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Other general offer comparison
In order to provide additional recent reference for the Shareholders to consider the fairness of the Offers, we intend to compare the term of the Offers to that of Industrial Comparable, i.e. with (i) similar market capitalization to the Company as at the Last Trading Date (with market capitalization in between HK$1 billion to HK$1.5 billion as the market capitalization of the Company as at the Last Trading Date was approximately HK$1.2 billion); and (ii) similar business, i.e. over 50% revenue are contributed from the sale of properties with reference to their relevant latest annual report, announced within four months before the date of the Joint Announcement. Based on our findings, we cannot identify any comparable which would fulfil such requirements. Therefore, we relax our selection criteria to only with similar business, i.e., over 50% revenue are contributed from the sale of properties with reference to their relevant latest annual report.
Based on the new selection criteria, we have identified two listed companies that with similar business with the Company that announced a privatization proposal/general offer within four months before the date of the Joint Announcement, which is New World China Land Limited (stock code: 917) (‘‘NWCL’’) and Paladin Limited (stock code:495 and 642 (Preference Shares)). However, according to the latest annual report of Paladin Limited, the asset value of shares of Paladin Limited is negative. The table set out below is the list that we have identified based on the aforesaid selection criteria which is exhaustive.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Notes:
-
(i) Based on the Share Offer Price and the net asset per Share as at 31 March 2014
-
(ii) Based on the Share Offer Price and the Re-assessed NAV
-
(iii) Based on the offer price and trading price of ordinary shares of Paladin Limited
-
(iv) Based on the offer price and trading price of preference shares of Paladin Limited
-
(v) Net liabilities according to latest annual report of Paladin Limited
-
(vi) Approximately 0.16% of the total number of shares held by independent shareholders of NWCL and approximately 65.95% of the number of independent shareholders of NWCL at the court meeting, were against the privatization scheme of Easywin Enterprises Corporation Limited
Based on the information set of in the above table, we noted that (i) the Share Offer Price represent a premium of approximately 25% over the closing price of the Shares as the Last Trading Date while that for NWCL and Paladin Limited is premium of approximately 32.30% and discount of approximately 12.28% (based on the offer price and trading price of ordinary shares of Paladin Limited) and approximately 19.44% (based on the offer price and trading price of preference shares of Paladin Limited) as at the date immediately before the date of the relevant announcement; and (ii) the Share Offer Price represent approximately 0.3836 times to the net asset value per Share (as at 31 March 2014) and approximately 0.3470 times to the Re-assessed NAV while the offer price of NWCL represent approximately 0.6753 times to the adjusted net asset value per shares of NWCL according to the latest annual report of NWCL (the net asset value of Paladin Limited is negative according to its latest annual report).
Although the offer price of NWCL as stated above is better than that of the Company in terms of the ratio of offer price over net asset value per share, we consider that as the market capitalization of the Company is only approximately 2.7% of that of NWCL, the comparison among them is not a good reference.
In addition, according to the reasons as stated in the paragraph headed ‘‘Net asset value per Share’’ above, we consider it is more appropriate to ascertain the Share Offer Price based on the historical market prices of the Company rather than the net asset value of the Company.
The Option Offer
Please refer to the Letter and section headed ‘‘I. Background and terms of the Offer’’ for detailed information of the Option Offer. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the market price of the Shares are higher than exercise price of Options with an exercise price of HK$0.2234, for Optionholders who hold the Options with exercise price of HK$0.2234 should consider convert their Options into the Shares and selling their Shares in the open market, where possible, instead of accepting the Option Offer, if the net proceeds from such sales exceed the net amount receivable under the Option Offer during the Offer Period. Regarding Optionholders who hold the Options with exercise price of HK$0.3893
– 42 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
and HK$2.0549, since the exercise prices of the aforesaid Options are higher than the market price of the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, we consider that those Optionholders should accept the Option Offer.
RECOMMENDATION
Taking into consideration the above-mentioned principal factors and reasons, in particular:
-
(i) there are uncertainties of the Group’s business outlook;
-
(ii) the Share Offer Price represents a premium over the historical closing price of the Shares during the Review Period;
-
(iii) Options with exercise prices of HK$0.3893 and HK$2.0549 are higher than the market price of the Shares;
-
(iv) for those Optionholders hold the Options with exercise price of HK$0.2234 should consider convert their Options into the Shares and selling their Shares in the open market, where possible, instead of accepting the Option Offer, if the net proceeds from such sales exceed the net amount receivable under the Option Offer during the Offer Period;
-
(v) the overall liquidity of the Shares, in general, was low during the Review Period;
-
(vi) although the Share Offer Price represent approximately 0.3836 times to the net asset value per Share (as at 31 March 2014) and approximately 0.3470 times to the Reassessed NAV, the PB Ratio implied by the Share Offer Price and the Re-assessed NAV (i.e. 0.3836 times to the net asset value per Share (as at 31 March 2014) and approximately 0.3470 times to the Re-assessed NAV) is above the range of the PB Ratio of the Industry Comparable as stated in the paragraph headed ‘‘Net asset value per Share’’; and
-
(vii) although the offer price of NWCL as stated above is better than that of the Company in terms of the ratio of cancellation price/offer price over net asset value per share, we consider that (i) as the market capitalization of the Company is only approximately 2.7% of that of NWCL, the comparison among them is not a good reference; (ii) the Share Offer Price is above the trading price of the Shares within the Review Period (i.e. for a period from 1 June 2013 up to and including the Last Trading Date, longer than a year) as stated in the paragraph headed ‘‘Historical price performance of the Shares’’ above; and (iii) the Offer provide an exit alternative for the Independent Shareholders who would like to realize their investments in the Company,
we are of the opinion that the terms of the Shares Offer and the Options Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and the Optionholders (except for those Optionholders hold the Option with exercise price of HK$0.2234 should consider convert their Options into the Shares and selling their Shares in
– 43 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
the open market, where possible, instead of accepting the Option Offer, if the net proceeds from such sales exceed the net amount receivable under the Option Offer during the Offer Period) to accept the Share Offer and the Option Offer.
Overall speaking, we would also like to remind the Independent Board Committee to remind the Independent Shareholders to closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period, especially that the disposal of large blocks of Shares held by the Independent Shareholders in the open market may trigger price slump of the Shares as a result of the thin trading of the Shares. For those Independent Shareholders who intend to realize their investment in the Company should consider selling their Shares in the open market, where possible, instead of accepting the Share Offer, if the net proceeds from such sales exceed the net amount receivable under the Share Offer.
Moreover, as different Shareholders would have different investment criteria, objectives and/or circumstances, we would recommend any Shareholder or Optionholder who may require advice in relation to any aspect of the Composite Document, or as to the action to be taken, to consult a licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant, tax adviser or other professional adviser.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Nuada Limited Kevin Chan Director

Delivery of the completed and signed White Form of Share Offer Acceptance to the Registrar will not serve to complete the exercise of the Options but will only be deemed to be an irrevocable authority to the Offeror and/or the Kingston Securities and/or any of their respective agent(s) or such other person(s) as they may direct to collect from the Company or the Registrar on his/her behalf the relevant share certificate(s) when issued on exercise of the Options as if it was/they were delivered to the Registrar with the White Form of Share Offer Acceptance. If an Optionholder fails to exercise his/her Options as aforesaid, there is no guarantee that the Company may issue the relevant share certificate(s) in respect of the Share(s) allotted pursuant to his/her/its exercise of the Option(s) to such Optionholder in time for him/her/it to accept the Share Offer as a Shareholder of such Share(s) under the terms of the Share Offer.
4. LAPSE OF OPTIONS
Nothing in this Composite Document or the Option Offer will serve to extend the life of any Option which lapses under the Share Option Scheme. No exercise of Options or acceptance of the Option Offer may be made in relation to any Option that has lapsed.

An acceptor of the Share Offer or the Option Offer may withdraw his/her/its acceptance by lodging a notice in writing signed by the acceptor (or his/her/its agent duly appointed in writing and evidence of whose appointment is produced together with the notice) to the Registrar and/or company secretary of the Company.
Furthermore, in the circumstances set out in Rule 19.2 of the Takeovers Code (which is to the effect that if the Offeror is unable to comply with any of the requirements of making announcements relating to the Offers as described under the paragraph headed ‘‘6. Announcement’’ above), the Executive may require that acceptors be granted a right of withdrawal, on terms acceptable to the Executive, until such requirements can be met.
Save as aforesaid, acceptances of the Offers shall be irrevocable and not capable of being withdrawn.

APPENDIX II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Wang On Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) is a limited liability company incorporated in Bermuda, and its head office and principal place of business are both located at 5th Floor, Wai Yuen Tong Medicine Building, 9 Wang Kwong Road, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
During the year, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) were involved in the following principal activities:
-
. property development
-
. property investment
-
. management and sub-licensing of Chinese wet markets
2.1 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 equity investments, which have been measured at fair value. 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
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2014. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described in the accounting policy for subsidiaries below. 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, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted the following new and revised HKFRSs for the first time for the current year’s financial statements.
HKFRS 1 Amendments Amendments to HKFRS 1 First-time Adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards — Government Loans HKFRS 7 Amendments Amendments to HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 — Transition HKFRS 12 Amendments Guidance HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement HKAS 1 Amendments Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements — Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income HKAS 19 (2011) Employee Benefits HKAS 27 (2011) Separate Financial Statements HKAS 28 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures HKAS 36 Amendments Amendments to HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets — Recoverable Amount Disclosure for Non-Financial Assets (early adopted) HK(IFRIC)-Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine Annual Improvements Amendments to a number of HKFRSs issued in June 2012 2009–2011 Cycle
Other than as further explained below regarding the impact of HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKFRS 13, amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 1 and HKAS 36, and certain amendments included in Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle, 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 10 replaces the portion of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements and addresses the issues in HK(SIC)-Int 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. It establishes a single control model used for determining which entities are consolidated. To meet the definition of control in HKFRS 10, an investor must have (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. The changes introduced by HKFRS 10 require management of the Group to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled.
As a result of the application of HKFRS 10, the Group has changed the accounting policy with respect to determining which investees are controlled by the Group.
The application of HKFRS 10 does not change any of the consolidation conclusions of the Group in respect of its involvement with investees as at 1 April 2013.
- (b) HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and HK(SIC)-Int 13 Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. It describes the accounting for joint arrangements with joint control. It addresses only two forms of joint arrangements, i.e., joint operations and joint ventures, and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation. The classification of joint arrangements under HKFRS 11 depends on the parties’ rights and obligations arising from the arrangements. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the joint operators have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement and is accounted for on a lineby-line basis to the extent of the joint operators’ rights and obligations in the joint operation. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the joint venturers have rights to the net assets of the arrangement and is required to be accounted for using the equity method in accordance with HKAS 28 (2011).
– II-12 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
The directors of the Company reviewed and assessed the classification of the Group’s investment in a joint arrangement in accordance with the requirements of HKFRS 11 and concluded that the Group’s investment in Shenzhen Jimao Market Co., Limited (‘‘Shenzhen Jimao’’), which was previously classified as a jointly-controlled entity under HKAS 31 and was accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method, should be classified as a joint venture under HKFRS 11 and be accounted for using the equity method. The change in accounting for investment in a joint venture has been applied retrospectively. The opening balances as at 1 April 2012 and comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2013 have been restated in the consolidated financial statements.
The quantitative impact on the financial statements is summarised below:
Impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income:
| Decrease in revenue Decrease in cost of sales Decrease in gross profit Decrease in other income and gains Decrease in administrative expenses Increase in fair value gains on investment properties, net Increase in share of profit and loss of a joint venture Decrease in profit before tax Decrease in income tax expense Net impact on profit for the year and earnings per share Net impact on other comprehensive income |

- (c) HKFRS 12 sets out the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities previously included in HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and HKAS 28 Investments in Associates. It also introduces a number of new disclosure requirements for these entities. Details of the disclosures for subsidiaries, a joint venture and an associate are included in notes 17, 18 and 19 to the financial statements.
– II-14 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
-
(d) The HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 Amendments clarify the transition guidance in HKFRS 10 and provide further relief from full retrospective application of these standards, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. The amendments clarify that retrospective adjustments are only required if the consolidation conclusion as to which entities are controlled by the Group is different between HKFRS 10 and HKAS 27 or HK(SIC)-Int 12 at the beginning of the annual period in which HKFRS 10 is applied for the first time.
-
(e) HKFRS 13 provides a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across HKFRSs. The standard does not change the circumstances in which the Group is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how fair value should be applied where its use is already required or permitted under other HKFRSs. HKFRS 13 is applied prospectively and the adoption has had no material impact on the Group’s fair value measurements. As a result of the guidance in HKFRS 13, the policies for measuring fair value have been amended. Additional disclosures required by HKFRS 13 for the fair value measurements of investment properties and financial instruments are included in notes 15 and 41 to the financial statements.
-
(f) The HKAS 1 Amendments change the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income (‘‘OCI’’). Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net movement on cash flow hedges and net loss or gain on available-for-sale financial assets) are presented separately from items which will never be reclassified (for example, the revaluation of land and buildings). The amendments have affected the presentation only and have had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group. The Group has also chosen to use the new title ‘‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’’ as introduced by the amendments in these financial statements.
-
(g) The HKAS 36 Amendments remove the unintended disclosure requirement made by HKFRS 13 on the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit which is not impaired. In addition, the amendments require the disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or cash-generating units for which an impairment loss has been recognised or reversed during the reporting period, and expand the disclosure requirements regarding the fair value measurement for these assets or units if their recoverable amounts are based on fair value less costs of disposal. The amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 with earlier application permitted, provided HKFRS 13 is also applied. The Group has early adopted the amendments in these financial statements. The amendments have had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
-
(h) Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle issued in June 2012 sets out amendments to a number of standards. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. While the adoption of some of the amendments may result in changes in accounting policies, none of these amendments have had a significant financial impact on the Group. Details of the key amendments most applicable to the Group are as follows:
-
. HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative period is the previous period. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the previous period. The additional comparative information does not need to contain a complete set of financial statements.
In addition, the amendment clarifies that the opening statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period must be presented when an entity changes its accounting policies; makes retrospective restatements or makes reclassifications, and that change has a material effect on the statement of financial position. However, the related notes to the opening statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period are not required to be presented.
– II-15 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
- . HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation: Clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes. The amendment removes existing income tax requirements from HKAS 32 and requires entities to apply the requirements in HKAS 12 to any income tax arising from distributions to equity holders.

4 No mandatory effective date yet determined but is available for adoption
Further information about those HKFRSs that are expected to be applicable to the Group is as follows:
HKFRS 9 issued in November 2009 is the first part of phase 1 of a comprehensive project to entirely replace HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This phase focuses on the classification and measurement of financial assets. Instead of classifying financial assets into four categories, an entity shall classify financial assets as subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value, on the basis of both the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. This aims to improve and simplify the approach for the classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of HKAS 39.
In November 2010, the HKICPA issued additions to HKFRS 9 to address financial liabilities (the ‘‘Additions’’) and incorporated in HKFRS 9 the current derecognition principles of financial instruments of HKAS 39. Most of the Additions were carried forward unchanged from HKAS 39, while changes were made to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss using the fair value option (‘‘FVO’’). For these FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. However, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts which have been designated under the FVO are scoped out of the Additions.
In December 2013, the HKICPA added to HKFRS 9 the requirements related to hedge accounting and made some related changes to HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 which include the corresponding disclosures about risk management activity for applying hedge accounting. The amendments to HKFRS 9 relax the requirements for assessing hedge effectiveness which result in more risk management strategies being eligible for hedge accounting.
– II-16 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
The amendments also allow greater flexibility on the hedged items and relax the rules on using purchased options and non-derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments. In addition, the amendments to HKFRS 9 allow an entity to apply only the improved accounting for own credit risk-related fair value gains and losses arising on FVO liabilities as introduced in 2010 without applying the other HKFRS 9 requirements at the same time.
HKAS 39 is aimed to be replaced by HKFRS 9 in its entirety. Before this entire replacement, the guidance in HKAS 39 on impairment of financial assets continues to apply. The previous mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 was removed by the HKICPA in December 2013 and a mandatory effective date will be determined after the entire replacement of HKAS 39 is completed. However, the standard is available for application now. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.
Amendments to HKFRS 10 include a definition of an investment entity and provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity. Investment entities are required to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with HKFRS 9 rather than consolidate them. Consequential amendments were made to HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 (2011). The amendments to HKFRS 12 also set out the disclosure requirements for investment entities. The Group expects that these amendments will not have any impact on the Group as the Company is not an investment entity as defined in HKFRS 10.
The HKAS 32 Amendments clarify the meaning of ‘‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set off’’ for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendments also clarify the application of the offsetting criteria in HKAS 32 to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group upon adoption on 1 April 2014.
2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity (including structured entities), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
-
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The results of subsidiaries are included in the Company’s profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any impairment losses.
Investment in an associate and a joint venture
An associate is an entity in which the Group has a long term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.
– II-17 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Group’s investment in an associate and a joint venture are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.
Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and other comprehensive income of an associate and a joint venture is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associate or joint venture is included as part of the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture.
If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or vice versa, the retained interest is not remeasured. Instead, the investment continues to be accounted for under the equity method. In all other cases, upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of HKAS 39 is measured at fair value with changes in fair value either recognised in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of HKAS 39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate HKFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 March. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Fair value measurement
The Group measures its investment properties and equity investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1
—
based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Impairment of non-financial assets
Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than deferred tax assets, properties held for sale, financial assets, investment properties and goodwill), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

APPENDIX II
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.
Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:
| Buildings | 3% |
|---|---|
| Leasehold land under finance leases | Over the lease terms |
| Leasehold improvements | 15% to 33% or over the lease term |
| Plant and machinery | 15% to 50% |
| Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 15% to 50% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
| Computer equipment | 15% to 33% |
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment including significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.
Investment properties
Investment properties are interests in land and buildings (including the leasehold interest under an operating lease for a property which would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property) held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the end of the reporting period.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the year of the retirement or disposal.
For a transfer from investment properties to owner-occupied properties, the deemed cost of a property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If a property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under ‘‘Property, plant and equipment and depreciation’’ up to the date of change in use, and any difference at that date between the carrying amount and the fair value of the property is accounted for as a revaluation in accordance with the policy stated under ‘‘Property, plant and equipment and depreciation’’ above.
– II-21 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Leases
Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of the leased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets held under capitalised finance leases, including prepaid land lease payments under finance leases, are included in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The finance costs of such leases are charged to profit or loss so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group under operating leases are included in non-current assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Properties under development
Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and comprise construction costs, borrowing costs, professional fees, payments for land use rights and other costs directly attributable to such properties incurred during the development period.
Properties under development are classified as current assets unless the construction of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond the normal operating cycle. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.
Sales deposits/instalments received and receivable from purchasers in respect of pre-sale of properties under development prior to completion of the development are included in current liabilities.
Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by an apportionment of the total land and building costs attributable to unsold properties. Net realisable value is estimated by the directors based on the prevailing market prices on an individual property basis.
Investments and other financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
– II-22 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with positive net changes in fair value presented as other income and gains and negative net changes in fair value presented as other expenses in profit or loss. These net fair value changes do not include any dividends or interest earned on these financial assets, which are recognised in accordance with the policies set out for ‘‘Revenue recognition’’ below.
Financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria in HKAS 39 are satisfied.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in other expenses for receivables.
Available-for-sale financial investments
Available-for-sale financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in listed equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss in other income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve to profit or loss in other expenses. Dividends earned whilst holding the available-for-sale financial investments are reported as dividend income and are recognised in profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policies set out for ‘‘Revenue recognition’’ below.
The Group evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term are still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets if management has the ability and intention to hold the assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
For a financial asset reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest rate. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
– II-23 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primary derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
-
. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
-
. the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘‘pass-through’’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor 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 observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified 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 yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group.
– II-24 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial investments
For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.
If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss.
In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost. ‘‘Significant’’ is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and ‘‘prolonged’’ against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss — is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
In the case of debt instruments classified as available for sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of other income. Impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the subsequent increase in fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and borrowings, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, accruals and interest-bearing bank loans.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.
– II-25 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in profit or loss.
Provision for onerous contracts represents provision for lease contracts for certain Hong Kong properties and projects where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contracts exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under them. Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised based on the difference between the rental payments receivable by the Group and those unavoidable rental payments payable by the Group under the contracts, together with any compensation or penalties arising from the failure to fulfill the contracts, discounted to their present value as appropriate.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
– II-26 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
-
. when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
. in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associate and joint venture, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
. when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
. in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associate and joint venture, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
-
(a) rental and sub-licensing fee income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms;
-
(b) from the provision of services, when the services are rendered;
-
(c) from the sale of properties, when the sale agreement becomes unconditional;
-
(d) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset;
-
(e) from the sale of listed securities, on the trade dates; and
-
(f) dividend income, where the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Share-based payments
The Company operates a share option scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (‘‘equity-settled transactions’’).
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees for grants after 7 November 2002 is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model, further details of which are given in note 33 to the financial statements.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefit expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
Other employee benefits
Pension schemes
The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefit scheme (the ‘‘MPF Scheme’’) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.
The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries which operate in Mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme (the ‘‘PRC Pension Scheme’’) operated by the local municipal government. These subsidiaries are required to contribute a certain percentage of their payroll costs to the PRC Pension Scheme. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the PRC Pension Scheme.

APPENDIX II
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Dividends
Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company’s memorandum and articles of association grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.
Final dividends are recognised as a liability when they have been approved by the shareholders.
Foreign currencies
These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).
The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries and a joint venture are currencies other than the Hong Kong dollar. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their profits or losses are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.
The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas which arise throughout the year are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Operating lease commitments — Group as lessor
The Group has entered into property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases.
Whether the presumption that investment properties stated at fair value are recovered through sale is rebutted in determining deferred tax
The Group’s joint venture has investment properties located in Mainland China which are measured at fair value. Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. In considering whether the presumption in HKAS 12 Income Taxes that an investment property measured at fair value will be recovered through sale is rebutted in determining deferred tax, the Group has developed certain criteria in making that judgement, such as whether an investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time or through sale. The presumption is rebutted only in the circumstance that there are sufficient evidence such as historical transactions, future development plans and management’s intention to demonstrate the investment property is held with the objective to consume substantially all of the economic benefits over time, rather than through sale. Continuous assessments on the presumption will be made by management at each reporting date.
Estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Further details on deferred tax assets are included in note 31 to the financial statements.
Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)
The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment of all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cashgenerating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental
– II-30 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
costs for disposing of the asset. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
Impairment of properties under development and properties held for sale
Properties under development and properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of each unit in each phase of development is determined using the weighted average method. The estimated net realisable value is the estimated selling price less selling expenses and the estimated cost of completion (if any), which are estimated based on the best available information.
If there is an increase in costs to completion or a decrease in net sales value, the net realisable value will decrease and this may result in a provision for properties under development and properties held for sale. Such provision requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, the carrying value and provision for properties in the periods in which the estimate is changed will be adjusted accordingly.
For the year ended 31 March 2014, a write-down of properties under development to net realisable value amounting to HK$73,068,000 (2013: HK$36,049,000) was recognised in other expenses in profit or loss.
Estimation of fair value of investment properties
In the absence of current prices in an active market for similar properties, the Group considers information from a variety of sources, including:
-
(a) current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, condition or location or subject to different leases or other contracts, adjusted to reflect those differences;
-
(b) recent prices of similar properties on less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices; and
-
(c) discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and (when possible) by external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows.
The principal assumptions for the Group’s estimation of the fair value include those related to current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, appropriate discount rates, expected future market rents and future maintenance costs. The carrying amount of investment properties at 31 March 2014 was HK$1,140,070,000 (2013: HK$679,900,000 (as restated)).
Useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment
The Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its items of property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and its competitor’s actions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimates, or it will write off or write down technically obsolete assets that have been abandoned.
The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the accounting policy as disclosed in the relevant part of this section. The recoverable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use, the calculations of which involve the use of estimates.
– II-31 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Impairment of available-for-sale investments
The Group classifies certain assets as available-for-sale and recognises movements of their fair values in equity. When the fair value declines, management makes assumptions about the decline in value to determine whether there is an impairment that should be recognised in profit or loss. At 31 March 2014, an impairment loss of HK$84,833,000 has been recognised for available-for-sale assets (2013: Nil). The carrying amount of available-for-sale assets was HK$119,704,000 (2013: HK$334,529,000).
Allowance on trade and other receivables
The provision policy for doubtful debts of the Group is based on the ongoing evaluation of the collectability and the aged analysis of the outstanding receivables and on management’s estimation.
A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of the customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
PRC corporate income tax (‘‘CIT’’)
The Group is subject to income taxes in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’). As a result of the fact that certain matters relating to the income taxes have not been confirmed by the local tax bureau, objective estimate and judgement based on currently enacted tax laws, regulations and other related policies are required in determining the provision for income taxes to be made. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts originally recorded, the differences will impact on the income tax and tax provisions in the period in which the differences realise.
4. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has three 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 the trading of industrial and commercial premises and residential units for rental or for sale; and
-
(c) the Chinese wet markets segment engages in the management and sub-licensing of Chinese wet markets.
Management monitors the results of the Group’s 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 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 a joint venture and an associate are excluded from such measurement.

Below is a summary of the valuation techniques used and the key inputs to the valuation of investment properties:
Significant Range Valuation technique unobservable inputs (weighted average) Commercial properties Direct comparison method Price per square feet HK$2,000 to HK$124,740 Industrial properties Direct comparison method Price per square feet HK$4,704 to HK$5,603 Residential properties Investment method and Estimated rental value HK$14 to HK$69 direct comparison method per square feet and per month Capitalisation rate 2.5% to 8% Price per square feet HK$3,761 to HK$11,510
As at 31 March 2014, the valuations of investment properties were based on either the investment method which capitalises the rent receivable from the existing tenancies and the potential reversionary market rent of the properties or direct comparison method by reference to comparable market transactions.
Significant increases/(decreases) in estimated rental value per square feet in isolation would result in a significantly higher/(lower) fair value of the investment properties. Significant increases/(decreases) in the capitalisation rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower/(higher) fair value of the investment properties. Significant increases/(decreases) in price per square feet in isolation would result in significantly higher/(lower) fair value of the investment properties.
Generally, a change in the assumption made for the estimated rental value per square feet and price per square feet are accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the capitalisation rate.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
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. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing. The carrying amounts of trade receivables approximate to their fair values.
The movements in provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:
| At 1 April Impairment losses recognised (note 6) Amount written off as uncollectible Impairment losses reversed (note 6) At 31 March |
Group 2014 2013 HK$’000 HK$’000 154 161 17 — (40) — — (7 131 154 |

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 aged analysis of the trade receivables that are not individually nor collectively considered to be impaired is as follows:
| Neither past due nor impaired Less than 90 days past due 91 to 180 days past due |
Group 2014 2013 HK$’000 HK$’000 1,943 3,714 — 614 — 231 1,943 4,559 |

|---|---|---|
| 4,559 |
Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a large number of diversified customers for whom there was 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 has tax losses arising in Hong Kong of approximately HK$180,766,000 (2013: HK$172,633,000), subject to the agreement of the Inland Revenue Department, that are available indefinitely for offsetting against future taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses as they have arisen in subsidiaries that have been loss-making for some time and it is not considered probable that taxable profits will be available against which the tax losses can be utilised.
Pursuant to the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law, a 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends declared to foreign investors from the foreign investment enterprises established in the PRC. The requirement is effective from 1 January 2008 and applied to earnings after 31 December 2007. A lower withholding tax rate may be applied if there is a tax treaty between China and the jurisdiction of the foreign investors. For the Group, the applicable rate is 10%. The Group is therefore liable to withholding taxes on dividends distributed by its joint venture established in the PRC in respect of earnings generated from 1 January 2008.
There are no income tax consequences attaching to the payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders.

There was no movement in the Company’s share capital during the year.
33. SHARE OPTION SCHEME
On 2 May 2012, the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 3 May 2002 (the ‘‘2002 Scheme’’) expired and a new share option scheme (the ‘‘2012 Scheme’’) was adopted by the shareholders of the Company on 21 August 2012. As a result, the Company can no longer grant any further options under the 2002 Scheme. However, all options granted prior to the expiry of the 2002 Scheme will remain in full force and effect. During the year ended 31 March 2014, no share option was granted, exercised, lapsed or cancelled under the 2012 Scheme.
Under the 2012 Scheme, share options may be granted to any director or proposed director (whether executive or non-executive, including independent non-executive director), employee or proposed employee (whether full-time or part-time), secondee, any holder of securities issued by any member of the Group, any person or entity that provides research, development or other technology support or advisory, consultancy, professional or other services to any member of the Group or any substantial shareholder or company controlled by a substantial shareholder, or any company controlled by one or more persons belonging to any of the above classes of participants. The 2012 Scheme became effective on 21 August 2012 and, unless otherwise terminated earlier by shareholders in a general meeting, will remain in force for a period of 10 years from that date.
Purpose
The purpose of the 2012 Scheme is to provide incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations.
Maximum number of shares available for subscription
Pursuant to the 2012 Scheme, the maximum number of share options that may be granted under the 2012 Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company is an amount, upon their exercise, not in aggregate exceeding 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time, excluding any shares issued on the exercise of share options. The total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the 2012 Scheme and any other schemes shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the number of shares in issue, as at the date of approval of the 2012 Scheme limit or as refreshed from time to time.
Maximum entitlement of each participant
The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant (except for a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director or any of their respective associate) under the 2012 Scheme within any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. Any further grant of share options in excess of such limit must be separately approved by shareholders with such eligible participant and his associates abstaining from voting.
Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company (or any of their respective associates) must be approved by the independent non-executive directors (excluding any independent non-executive director who is the grantee of the option). Where any grant of share options to a

substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director (or any of their respective associates) will result in the total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of share options already granted and to be granted to such person under the 2012 Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) in any 12-month period up to and including the date of grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the shares in issue, and having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Company’s shares at each date of grant, in excess of HK$5 million, such further grant of share options is required to be approved by shareholders in a general meeting in accordance with the Listing Rules. Any change in the terms of a share option granted to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director (or any of their respective associate) is also required to be approved by shareholders.
Basis of determining the exercise price
The option price per share payable on the exercise of an option is determined by the directors, provided that it shall be at least the higher of:
-
(i) the closing price of the shares as stated in the daily quotation sheet issued by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Hong Kong Stock Exchange’’) at the date of offer of grant (which is deemed to be the date of grant if the offer for the grant of a share option is accepted by the eligible person), which must be a business day; and
-
(ii) the average closing price of the shares as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of offer of grant, provided that the option price per share shall in no event be less than the nominal amount of one share.
An offer for the grant of share options must be accepted within 30 days from the date on which such offer was made. The amount payable by the grantee of a share option to the Company on acceptance of the offer of the grant is HK$1.00 for each lot of share options granted.
Share options do not confer rights on the holders to dividends or to vote at shareholders’ meetings.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company had 22,610,000 (2013: 23,912,000) share options outstanding under the 2002 Scheme. The exercise in full of these share options would, under the present capital structure of the Company, result in the issue of 22,610,000 (2013: 23,912,000) additional ordinary shares of the Company and additional share capital of HK$226,000 (2013: HK$239,000) and share premium of HK$31,628,000 (2013: HK$31,917,000) (before issue expenses).

The contributed surplus of the Company originally derived from the difference between the nominal value of the share capital and share premium of the subsidiaries acquired pursuant to the Group’s reorganisation on 6 February 1995 and the par value of the Company’s shares issued in exchange therefor. Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended), the contributed surplus is distributable to shareholders under certain circumstances.
35. ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY THAT IS NOT A BUSINESS
Year ended 31 March 2013
On 8 February 2013, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Woomera International Limited, an independent third party, to acquire the entire equity interests in Vincent Investments Limited (‘‘Vincent Investments’’) and the shareholder’s loan owed by Vincent Investments to its then shareholder, at a cash consideration of HK$475,771,000. Vincent Investments is principally engaged in property development in Hong Kong and up to the date of acquisition, Vincent Investments has not carried out any significant business transaction except for holding certain properties in Hong Kong.
The above acquisition has been accounted for by the Group as an acquisition of assets as the entity acquired by the Group does not constitute a business.

(b) The Group has a contingent liability in respect of possible future long service payments to employees under the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance, with a maximum possible amount payable of HK$1,354,000 (2013: HK$1,415,000) as at 31 March 2014, as further explained under the heading ‘‘Other employee benefits’’ in note 2.4 to the financial statements. The contingent liability has arisen because, at the end of the reporting period, a number of current employees had achieved the required number of years of service to the Group in order to be eligible for long service payments under the Employment Ordinance if their employment is terminated under certain circumstances. A provision has not been recognised in respect of such possible payments, as it is not considered probable that the situation will result in a material future outflow of resources from the Group.

40. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BY CATEGORY
Except for available-for-sale investments and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair value, other financial assets and liabilities of the Company and the Group as at 31 March 2014 and 2013 are loans and receivables, and financial liabilities at amortised cost, respectively.
– II-67 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
41. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and bank balances, time deposits, pledged deposits, trade payables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, current portion of loans and interest receivables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals and current portion of interestbearing bank loans to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The Group’s finance team headed by the director is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The finance team reports directly to the director and the audit committee. At each reporting date, the finance team analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the director. The valuation process and results are discussed with the audit committee twice a year for interim and annual financial reporting.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The fair values of the non-current portion of loans and interest receivables, deposits and interest-bearing bank loans have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
The Group’s own non-performance risk for interest-bearing bank loans as at 31 March 2014 was assessed to be insignificant. The fair values of loans and interest receivables and interest-bearing bank loans are measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3).
The fair values of listed equity investments and listed debt investments are based on quoted market prices. The fair values of unlisted financial assets at fair value through profit or loss have been estimated using the net asset value per share of the investments. The directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation technique, which are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in profit or loss, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period.
The following tables illustrate the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial instruments:

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 for both financial assets and financial liabilities (2013: Nil).
42. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments include equity investments, debt securities, available-for-sale investments, trade and other receivables, loans and interest receivables, deposits, trade and other payables, accruals, deposits received, cash and bank balances and bank borrowings.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and price risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
– II-69 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s bank loans with floating interest rates. The Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risk, and will consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the need arise.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rate, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit before tax. There is no material impact on other components of the Group’s equity.
| 2014 HK$ HK$ 2013 HK$ HK$ |
Group Increase/ (decrease) basis points Increase/ (decrease) in profit before tax HK$’000 100 (12,669) (100) 12,669 100 (16,298) (100) 16,298 |
|---|---|
Foreign currency risk
The Group has minimal transactional currency exposure arising from sales or purchases by operating units in currencies other than the units’ functional currencies, and hence it does not have any foreign currency hedging policies.
Part of the Group’s turnover and operating expenses are denominated in RMB, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. The PRC Government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of Mainland China. Shortages in the availability of foreign currencies may restrict the ability of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and joint venture to remit sufficient foreign currencies to pay dividends or other amounts to the Group.
Under the PRC existing foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration for Foreign Exchange Bureau by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate PRC governmental authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into a foreign currency and remitted out of Mainland China to pay capital account items, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.
Currently, the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and joint venture may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of current account transactions, including payment of dividends to the Company, without prior approval of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange Bureau. The Group’s PRC subsidiaries and joint venture may also retain foreign currencies in their current accounts to satisfy foreign currency liabilities or to pay dividends. Since foreign currency transactions on the capital account are still subject to limitations and require approval from the State Administration for Foreign Exchange Bureau, this could affect the Group’s subsidiaries and joint venture’s ability to obtain required foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from the Group.
– II-70 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
There are limited hedging instruments available in the PRC to reduce the Group’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and other currencies. To date, the Group has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce the Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. While the Group may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and the Group may not be able to hedge the Group’s exposure successfully, or at all.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity at the end of the reporting period to a reasonably possible change in the Euro, Pound Sterling (‘‘GBP’’) and RMB exchange rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit before tax (due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities).

|---|---|
Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables, loans and interest receivables and debt securities. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. The maximum exposure of these financial assets is equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments.
In respect of trade and other receivables, credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Trade receivables are mainly rental related and are normally due within 15 to 30 days and the Group obtains rental deposits from its tenants.
In respect of loans and interest receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all borrowers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the borrowers’ past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the borrowers. Certain of these loans and interests receivable are secured by share charges in respect of the equity interest of certain subsidiaries and unlisted equity investments of the respective borrowers.
The credit risk of debt securities mainly arises from the risk that the issuer might default on a payment or go into liquidation. Debt securities by different types of issuers are generally subject to different degrees of credit risk. The management regularly reviews the credit exposure and does not expect any investment counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

APPENDIX II
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprises cash and cash equivalents and certain listed equity securities, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk through the granting of financial guarantees to certain subsidiaries, further details of which are disclosed in note 36 to the financial statements.
Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from available-for-sale investments (note 20), trade and other receivables (notes 22 and 24), loans and interest receivables (note 23) and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (note 25) are disclosed in the corresponding notes to the financial statements.
Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of both its financial instruments and financial assets (e.g., trade receivables) and projected cash flows from operations.
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans.
The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period, based on the contractual and undiscounted payments, was as follows:
| Group Interest-bearing bank loans (Note) Trade payables (note 27) Other payables and accruals (note 28) Interest-bearing bank loans (Note) Trade payables (note 27) Other payables and accruals (note 28) |

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX II
Notwithstanding the above clause, the directors do not believe that these loans will be called in their entirety within 12 months, and they consider that the loans will be repaid in accordance with the maturity dates as set out in the respective loan agreements. This evaluation was made considering: the financial position of the Group at the date of approval of the financial statements; the Group’s compliance with the loan covenants; the lack of events of default, and the fact that the Group has made all previously scheduled repayments on time. In accordance with the terms of the loans, the contractual undiscounted payments are as follows:

Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair values of financial investments decrease as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual debt securities. The Group was exposed to price risk arising from individual financial investments classified as available-for-sale investments (note 20) and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (note 25) as at 31 March 2014.
The Group’s debt securities are traded in the over-the-counter market and are valued at fair value at each year end date with reference to the trading prices quoted in the market. The Group’s listed equity investments are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and are valued at quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
The market equity indices for the following stock exchanges, at the close of business of the nearest trading day in the year to the end of the reporting period, and their respective highest and lowest points during the year were as follows:
| 31 | March | High/low | 31 | March | High/low | ||||||

| Hong | Kong | — | Hang | Seng | Index | 22,151 | 23,881/20,803 | 22,300 | 23,730/18,630 |
The Group manages its exposure by closely monitoring the price movements and the changes in market conditions that may affect the value of these financial investments.

Dear Sirs,
Re: Valuation of property interests situated in Hong Kong
In accordance with the instructions of Wang On Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) to value the property interests (the ‘‘Properties’’) held by the Company and its subsidiaries (altogether referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) situated in Hong Kong, we confirm that we have carried out inspections of the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Properties as at 31 May 2014 (the ‘‘date of valuation’’).
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the Properties represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without ’’ compulsion .
TITLESHIP
We have caused searches to be made at the appropriate Land Registry for the Properties. However, we have not verified ownerships of the Properties or the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only.
– III-1 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX III
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
The Properties are valued by the comparison method where comparison based on prices realised or market prices of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values.
ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the Properties on the market without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the Properties.
For Properties which are held by the owners by means of long term land use rights granted by the PRC Government, we have assumed that the owners have free and uninterrupted rights to use the Properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms of the land use rights.
Unless stated as otherwise, we have assumed that the owners of the Properties have the right to sell, mortgage, charge or otherwise dispose of the Properties to any person without payment of any additional premium or substantial fee to government authorities.
Other special assumptions for our valuation (if any) would be stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate attached herewith.
LIMITING CONDITIONS
No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties valued nor for any expenses or taxation. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.
We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the floor areas in respect of the Properties but have assumed that the floor areas shown on the legal documents handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.
All Properties were inspected by Yang Jun Hao (B.Sc.), Sandra Lau (HKIS) and Tse Wai Leung (HKIS), each being an employee of Asset Appraisal Limited, in between January 2014 and May 2014. We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Properties. However, no structural survey has been made for them. In the course of our
– III-2 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX III
inspection, we did not note any apparent defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the buildings and structures inspected by us are free of rot, infestation or any structural defect. No test was carried out on any of the building services and equipment.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
In valuing the properties, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
As advised by the Group, properties of Group I, which are held for investment, will be subject to profit tax of 16.5% of net profit upon disposal, save for deduction of any profit which is capital in nature. The Group has no intention to dispose of these properties at present. Therefore the likelihood of such tax liability is remote. The properties of Group II and Group III, which are held for sales, will be subject to tax liability comprising stamp duty and profit tax of 16.5% of net profit upon disposal. There is a likelihood that such tax liability will crystallize between 2014 and 2017. The property of Group IV, which are held for owner occupation, will be subject to profit tax of 16.5% of net profit upon disposal, save for deduction of any profit which is capital in nature. The Group has no intention to dispose of these properties at present. Therefore the likelihood of such tax liability is remote.
Our summary of valuation and valuation certificate are attached herewith.
Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of Asset Appraisal Limited

The Directors Wang On Group Limited 5/F, Wai Yuen Tong Medicine Building 9 Wang Kwong Road Kowloon Bay Kowloon Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
RE: VALUATION OF VARIOUS PROPERTIES IN HONG KONG
In accordance with your instructions for us to value the properties interests owned by Wang On Group Limited and/or its subsidiaries (together referred to as ‘‘the Group’’), we confirm that we have inspected the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of values of the properties as at 31 May 2014 (‘‘the date of valuation’’).
Our valuations are our opinion of market value of the properties which is defined as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’’
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sold the properties on the open market without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which might serve to affect the values of the properties.
– III-24 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX III
In valuing the properties held for investment by the Group, we have adopted the investment approach as well as the comparison approach which capitalizes the rent receivable from the existing tenancies and the potential reversionary market rent of the property interests taking into account the market rental comparables in the open market and with reference to comparable transactions in the market.
We have conducted land searches at the Land Registry but we have not scrutinised the original documents to ascertain ownership nor to verify any lease amendments which might not appear on the copies handed to us. In any events, we reserve the right to revise our valuations should there disclose any information which is in contravention to the information provided to us.
We have relied on considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, areas, occupation, tenancies, statutory notice, easements and all other relevant matters. All documents have been used as reference purposes only. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.
The properties were inspected by Mr. Oscar To Kam Wing, Senior Valuer of Vigers Appraisal and Consulting Limited (BSc (Hons.), MSc in Construction Real Estate) in between February 2014 and May 2014. We have inspected the properties to the extent for the purpose of these valuations but we have not carried out any structural survey nor have we inspected woodwork or other parts of the structures which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible to us. We are therefore unable to report whether the properties were free from any structural or nonstructural defect.
We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not high alumina cement concrete or calcium chloride additive or pulverized fly ash or any other deleterious material has been used in the construction of these properties and we are therefore unable to report that the properties are free from risk in this respect. For the purpose of these valuations, we have assumed that such investigation would not disclose the presence of any such material in any adverse conditions.
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties for any expenses or taxation which might be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the properties are free from any encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could serve to affect the values of the properties. According to the ‘‘The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties’’, it states that ‘‘when assessing the Market Value of a Property, any encumbrances such as mortgage, debenture, charged against it should be disregarded’’.
As advised by the Group, properties which are held for investment would be subject to profit tax of 16.5% of net profit upon disposal, save for deduction of any profit which is capital in nature. The Group has no intention to dispose of these properties at present. Therefore the likelihood of such tax liability is remote.

Our valuations have been prepared in accordance with ‘‘The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition)’’ published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, the relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Main Board).
We enclose herewith the summary of values and valuation certificates.
