LETTER FROM KINGSTON SECURITIES

==> picture [277 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

2 December 2016

To the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders

Dear Sir or Madam,

MANDATORY CONDITIONAL CASH OFFERS BY KINGSTON SECURITIES LIMITED ON BEHALF OF THE OFFEROR TO ACQUIRE ALL THE ISSUED SHARES OF THE COMPANY (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY OWNED OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE OFFEROR) AND TO CANCEL ALL OUTSTANDING OPTIONS OF THE COMPANY

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Joint Announcement. On 18 October 2016, the Offeror entered into the SPA I and the SPA II with Vendor I and Vendor II respectively, and the completion of both SPA I and SPA II took place on 20 October 2016. Upon completion of the SPA I, the Offeror acquired the Sale Shares I, being 321,529,611 Shares representing approximately 29.83% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, at the SPA I Consideration of HK$106,104,771.63 (equivalent to HK$0.33 per Sale Share). Upon completion of the SPA II, the Offeror acquired the Sale Shares II, being 88,000,000 Shares representing approximately 8.16% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, at the SPA II Consideration of HK$29,040,000.00 (equivalent to HK$0.33 per Sale Share).

Immediately preceding to the completion of SPA I and SPA II, none of the Offeror, Mr. Chen and parties acting in concert with any of them owns any Shares. Immediately following the completion of the SPA I and SPA II and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror, Mr. Chen and parties acting in concert with any of them held in aggregate 409,529,611 Shares, representing approximately 38.00% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. The Offeror is therefore required under Rule 26.1 and Rule 13.5 of the Takeovers Code to make mandatory conditional cash offers for all the issued Shares not already owned and/or agreed to be acquired by it and for the cancellation of all the outstanding Options.

LETTER FROM KINGSTON SECURITIES

This letter sets out, among other things, the details of the Offers, information on the Offeror and the intention of the Offeror regarding the Group. The terms of the Offers and procedures for acceptance are set out in this letter, Appendix I to this Composite Document of which this letter forms part, and the accompanying Forms of Acceptance. The Independent Shareholders and Option Holders are strongly advised to consider carefully the information contained in the “Letter from the Board”, “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” and “Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser” as set out in this Composite Document.

THE OFFERS

Principal terms of the Offers

We, Kingston Securities, on behalf of the Offeror, is making the Offers on the following terms in accordance with Rule 26.1 and Rule 13.5 of the Takeovers Code:

The Share Offer

for each Share under the Share Offer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .HK$0.33 in cash

The Option Offer

for cancellation of each outstanding Option

(with an exercise price of HK$0.513 per Option Share) . . . . . . . . . . . . . .HK$0.001 in cash

The Share Offer Price of HK$0.33 for each Share under the Share Offer is the same as the price per each Sale Share being acquired by the Offeror pursuant to the SPA I and SPA II respectively. The Share Offer extends to all Shareholders other than the Offeror in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

Under the Option Offer, since the exercise price of the outstanding Options is above the Share Offer Price, the outstanding Options are out of money and, therefore, the Option Offer Price for the cancellation of each outstanding Option is set at a nominal value of HK$0.001.

LETTER FROM KINGSTON SECURITIES

Condition to the Offers

The Offers are subject to valid acceptances of the Share Offer being received (and not, where permitted, withdrawn) by 4:00 p.m. on or prior to the Offers Closing Date (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as the Offeror may decide and the Executive may approve) in respect of such number of Shares which, together with the Shares already owned or agreed to be acquired before or during the Offers, would result in the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it holding more than 50% of the voting rights in the Company.

CULTURE LANDMARK INVESTMENT LIMITED

(Stock Code: 674)

2 December 2016

To the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders

Dear Sir or Madam,

MANDATORY CONDITIONAL CASH OFFERS BY KINGSTON SECURITIES LIMITED ON BEHALF OF THE OFFEROR TO ACQUIRE ALL THE ISSUED SHARES OF

THE COMPANY

(OTHER THAN THOSE SHARES ALREADY OWNED OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE OFFEROR) AND TO CANCEL ALL OUTSTANDING OPTIONS OF THE COMPANY

We refer to the Composite Document dated 2 December 2016 jointly issued by the Offeror and the Company, of which this letter forms part. Unless specified otherwise, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Composite Document.

We have been appointed by the Board to form the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders as to whether or not the terms of the Offers are fair and reasonable and to make a recommendation as to acceptance of the Offers.

Donvex Capital Limited has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise us in respect of the above.

— 26 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

We wish to draw your attention to the “Letter from Kingston Securities”, the “Letter from the Board” and the “Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser” as set out in the Composite Document as well as the additional information set out in the appendices to the Composite Document.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the terms of the Offers, taking into account the information contained in the Composite Document and the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser, in particular the factors, reasons and recommendations as set out in its letter in the Composite Document, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Offers are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend you to accept the Offers.

However, for those Independent Shareholders who are considering to realise all or part of their holdings in the Shares, they should closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the period of the Share Offer. Should the market price of the Shares exceed the Share Offer Price during the period of the Share Offer, and the sale proceeds (net of transaction costs) exceed the net proceeds receivable under the Share Offer, the Independent Shareholders may wish to consider selling their Shares in the market instead of accepting the Share Offer.

The Option Holders should also monitor the market prices of the Shares during the Offer Period and should consider converting their Options and selling the conversion shares in the open market instead of accepting the Option Offer if the sale proceeds (net of transaction costs) exceed the net amount receivable under the Option Offer.

In any case, the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders are strongly advised that the decision to realise or to hold their investment is subject to individual circumstances and investment objectives. If in doubt, the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders should consult their own professional advisers for advice. Furthermore, the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders who wish to accept the Offers are recommended to read carefully the procedures for accepting the Offers as detailed in Appendix I to this Composite Document.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the

As disclosed in the 2016 Interim Report, the increase in loss for the six months ended 30 September 2016 was mainly due to decrease in the Group’s revenue as discussed above, in particular, (i) revenue from the Group’s licence fee collection and provision of intellectual

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

property enforcement services business decreased by approximately HK$11.2 million as a result of the absence of operating fees from China Music Video Collective Management Association ( 中國音像著作權集體管理協會 ) (“ MVCM Association* ”) pending the results of the litigation against MVCM Association regarding the outstanding operating fees payable by MVCM Association to the Group; (ii) revenue from exhibition related business decreased by approximately HK$4.4 million due to the decrease in number of participating exhibitors; and (iii) revenue from property sub-leasing business dropped by approximately HK$6.0 million due to poor PRC market condition and the discontinuance in sub-leasing certain properties in the PRC.

For the year ended 31 March 2016

For the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group’s revenue was approximately HK$112.0 million, a decrease of approximately 20.8% compared with the Group’s revenue of approximately HK$141.4 million of the previous year, and loss attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2016 was approximately HK$131.3 million, a decrease in loss of approximately 70.5% as compared to the loss of approximately HK$445.2 million for the previous year. Loss per Share for the year ended 31 March 2016 was HK18.28 cents (2015: HK70.06 cents). The significant decrease in loss for the year ended 31 March 2016 was mainly due to the decrease in the impairment loss on available-for-sale investments, goodwill and intangible assets of approximately HK$312.0 million as compared to year ended 31 March 2015.

2. Prospect and outlook of the Group

As stated in the section headed “Intentions of the Offeror regarding the Group” in the Letter from Kingston Securities of the Composite Document (the “ Letter from Kingston Securities ”), the Offeror intends to continue the existing principal businesses of the Group.

As stated in the Letter from the Board of the Composite Document (the “ Letter from the Board ”), the Group is principally engaged in licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business; exhibition-related business; property sub-leasing business; property development and investment; sludge and sewage treatment; entertainment business; and food and beverages business.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We noted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2016 (the “ 2016 Annual Report ”) that over 99% of the revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016 was contributed by the exhibition-related business, property sub-leasing business and the licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, amounting to approximately 48.8%, 39.5% and 11.4% of the total revenue of the Group, respectively. As such, in order to assess the prospect and outlook of the Group, we have considered the prospect and outlook of these three major business segments of the Group as follows.

(i) Exhibition-related business

As advised by the management of the Company and as disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report, the Group acts as an organizer and contractor for exhibitions and meeting events held in Hong Kong and its clients are primarily based in the PRC.

As disclosed in the 2016 Interim Report, the revenue from the Group’s exhibition-related business have decreased by approximately HK$4.4 million due to the decrease in number of participating exhibitors. According to the statistics of National Bureau of Statistics of China, the preliminary assessment of the PRC’s gross domestic product reached approximately RMB52,997 billion in the third quarter of 2016, representing a growth of approximately 6.7% as compared with the corresponding period in 2015, which generally illustrated a slowing trend as compared to the growth rate of 6.9% and 7.4% recorded for 2015 and 2014, respectively. In view of the slowing economy in the PRC, according to the statistics of Hong Kong Tourism Board, the number of overnight MICE (meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitions) visitor arrivals in Hong Kong originated in the PRC during the nine months ended 30 September 2016 only increased by 0.4% to 552,839 as compared with the corresponding period in 2015. As advised by the management of the Company, the companies in the PRC were more cautious in controlling the expenditure for organizing exhibitions in Hong Kong due to the slowing economy in the PRC.

In addition, according to the Business Receipt Indices for Service Industries and Service Domains published by the Census and Statistics Department of the Government of Hong Kong, the index for tourism, convention and exhibition services in Hong Kong was experiencing a decreasing trend from 221.7 in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 186.0 in the second quarter of 2016.

— 35 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Taking into account the slowing economy in the PRC, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that the prospect of the Group’s exhibition-related business remain uncertain.

(ii) Property sub-leasing business

We noted from the 2016 Annual Report that the Group was engaged in subleasing of properties and facilities in Nanjing. As advised by the management of the Company, the Group entered into long term leases with landlords of certain old buildings and facilities in Nanjing. The Group had renovated these buildings by preserving their historical characteristics while leasing to tenants who are mainly engaged in design and cultural activities.

According to the statistics of the Bureau of Statistics of Nanjing, the price index for educational, cultural and entertainment sector has gradually decreased from 104.1 in February 2016 to 100.5 in October 2016. In addition, as disclosed in the 2016 Interim Report, the Group has discontinued the subleasing of certain properties and the revenue from its property sub-leasing business had decreased accordingly for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

As such, given the slowing price level in Nanjing and the limitations in floor areas and renovation status of the properties currently leased by the Group, we are of the view that the prospect of the Group’s property sub-leasing business may be uncertain.

(iii) Licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business

As disclosed in the 2016 Interim Report, no operating fees was generated for the Group’s licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business pending the results of the Group’s litigation against MVCM Association, being the sole customer of the Group’s licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, regarding the outstanding operating fees payable by MVCM Association to the Group. The details of the said litigation are set out under the section headed “Litigation” in Appendix IV to the Composite Document. Taking into account the uncertainty relating to the timing and results of the litigation, it is uncertain whether the Company can generate any revenue in this business segment in the near future.

— 36 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In view of the above, we consider that the prospect and outlook of the Group’s business may remain uncertain in the foreseeable future.

3. Intention of the Offeror and proposed change of Board composition

As stated in the Letter from Kingston Securities, the Offeror intends to continue the existing principal businesses of the Group. Following the completion of the Offers, the Offeror will conduct a review on the business operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating suitable business plans and strategies for the future business development of the Group. The Offeror will also consider any suitable acquisition opportunities in real estate related business or projects to develop and expand the existing business of the Group. Furthermore, subject to the results of the review as aforementioned, and should suitable investment or business opportunities arise, the Offeror may consider acquisition of assets and/or business by the Group in order to enhance its financial performance as well as value to the Shareholders in the long run. As stated in the Letter from Kingston Securities, as at the Latest Practicable Date, save in connection with the Offeror’s intention regarding the Group as disclosed above, the Offeror has no plan for any acquisition or disposal of the existing assets or business of the Group, nor any redeployment of fixed assets of the Group.

All of the Directors will resign with effect after the end of the Offers and in any event in compliance with the Takeovers Code. To ensure there will be continuity in the management of the Group’s business, current directors of the subsidiaries of the Company shall remain as the directors of the subsidiaries.

As noted from the biographical details of Mr. Chen as disclosed in the Letter from Kingston Securities, the proposed Directors has experience in the real estate industry and managing in a sizeable real estate development company. Although Mr. Chen does not possess prior experience in the same industries as the Group, he has held senior management positions or directorships and is expected to contribute to the managing of the Company after the completion of the Offers.

However, no further information was provided by the Offeror in relation to the persons may/to be nominated by the Offeror as the new Directors as at the Latest Practicable Date. We are of the view that the future business development of the Group still depends on the direction from Mr. Chen and the new Directors on the overall strategic planning of the Group. As such, it is currently uncertain whether the new Directors can provide positive inputs to the Group’s future business development.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered that (i) the uncertainty in the prospect of the Group as discussed under the section headed “Prospect and outlook of the Group” above; (ii) no detailed business plan or strategy has been provided by the Offeror as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (iii) the proposed change in the Board composition pursuant to which all Directors will resign and the inputs from the new Directors to the Group’s future business development is currently uncertain, we are of the view that the prospect and/or improvement in the results of the Group in the near future is considered to be uncertain.

4. Principal terms of the Offers

Kingston Securities is making the Offers for and on behalf of the Offeror on the following terms:

Note: The closing price of the Shares from 26 October 2015 to 1 August 2016 as illustrated in the above chart is adjusted in accordance to the issuance of 359,259,523 Shares by the Company upon the completion of the 2016 May Open Offer on 2 September 2016 as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 September 2016.

— 40 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown in the above chart, we noted that there was a general downward trend of closing price of the Shares since October 2015. The highest closing price and the lowest closing price of the Shares were HK$0.665 on 11 December 2015 and HK$0.310 on 17 and 22 August 2016, with an average closing price of approximately HK$0.456 per Share. The Share Offer Price of HK$0.33 is lower than the average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period, except for 18 out of 75 trading days during 17 May 2016 to 1 September 2016 as discussed below.

On 17 May 2016, upon the resumption of trading of the Shares after the publication of the announcement by the Company in relation to the 2016 May Open Offer, the closing price of the Shares decreased from HK$0.531 to HK$0.423 per Share. Thereafter, the closing price of the Shares gradually decreased and reached the lowest closing price during the Review Period at HK$0.310 on 17 and 22 August 2016. The closing price of the Shares then increased above the Share Offer Price since 2 September 2016.

On 17 October 2016, being the first trading day after the announcement of the Company in relation to the possible sale of Shares by the Vendor I, and up to the Last Trading Day, the closing price of the Shares surged to HK$0.56 per Share. During 26 October 2016, being the date of the Joint Announcement, and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares had been traded with the closing price within a range of HK$0.390 and HK$0.465. We believe that such surge in Share prices prior to the publication of the Joint Announcement was mainly a result of market reaction after the release of the announcement of the Company dated 14 October 2016 relating to the potential sale of Shares by Vendor I and change of control of the Company. In the absence of other significant positive events and without the Offers, we believe that the Shares prices might not have been traded at such a price range. Accordingly, we believe that the positive market reaction and the recent Share prices may not sustain.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  1. As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 September 2016, the Company had issued 359,259,523 new Shares on 2 September 2016 upon the completion of an open offer on the basis of one Share for every two Shares; accordingly the total number of issued Shares was increased from 718,519,047 to 1,077,778,570.

  2. Average daily trading volume is calculated by dividing the total trading volume for the month/ period by the number of trading days during the month/period which exclude any trading day on which trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended for the whole trading day.

  3. Based on the total number of Shares held by Vendor I, Vendor II (together with Ms. Bai) and Commotra Company Limited, being the substantial Shareholders, as at the end of relevant month/ period.

  4. As the percentage of average daily trading volume to total number of Shares in issue as at the end of the relevant month is too insignificant, we did not incorporate the corresponding information in the above table.

As illustrated in the above table, the average daily trading volume during the Review Period was thin, with a range of approximately 29,692 Shares to 4,963,474 Shares, representing approximately 0.01% to 0.94% of the total number of Shares held by public Shareholders as at the end of the relevant month. In view of the above, we consider that the liquidity of the Shares was low during the Review Period. As such, Shareholders may find it difficult to dispose of large number of Shares in the open market without exerting a downward pressure on the price of the Shares. As such, we consider that the Offers provides a viable alternative exit to Shareholders (especially those with more sizeable shareholdings) to realize their investment in the Shares.

Comparative analysis

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Share Offer, we have attempted to compare the price-to-earnings ratio (the “ PE Ratio ”) and the price-to-book ratio (the “ P/B Ratio ”) of other listed issuers in Hong Kong, which are comparable to the Company in terms of market size, business and financial performance, with the implied PE Ratio and implied PB Ratio of the Offers using the Share Offer Price.

We noted that the Group, a listed issuer on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, is principally engaged in license fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business; exhibition-related business; property sub-leasing business; property development and investment; sludge and sewage treatment business; entertainment business; and food and beverage business.

— 43 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With reference to the 2016 Annual Report, we also noted that

  • (i) the Group had been experiencing loss-making results for five consecutive years ended 31 March 2016. As such, we consider it is not feasible to assess the Share Offer Price using the implied PE Ratio;

  • (ii) the majority of the Group’s revenue was contributed by its exhibition-related business and property sub-leasing business, representing approximately 48.8% and 39.5% of the Group’s total revenue for the year ended 31 March 2016, respectively. Among the seven reportable segments of the Group, except for the property sub-leasing business segment which recorded a segmental profit of approximately HK$4.4 million, all other reportable segments of the Group were loss making. We have attempted to compare the pricing ratios represented by the Share Offer Price against the market valuation of other listed issuers in Hong Kong that are principally engaged in both exhibition-related business and property sub-leasing business, however we have not been able to identify suitable comparable companies;

  • (iii) the business model of the Group’s exhibition-related business is of servicebased. The reportable segment assets of the exhibition-related business of the Group only represented approximately 7.3% of the Group’s total assets as at 31 March 2016. The PB Ratio should only be applied for the evaluation of companies engaging in capital-intensive businesses. Being a service-based and asset-light company, we consider the comparison of the PB ratio between the Group and other listed issuers principally engaged in exhibition-related business would not be suitable; and

  • (iv) the reportable tangible assets of the property sub-leasing business of the Group, being the highest amongst the seven reportable segments of the Group, only represented approximately 28.4% of the Group’s total assets as at 31 March 2016. As advised by the management of the Company, the tangible assets of the property sub-leasing business of the Group were mainly comprised of leasehold improvements, which is different from the nature of other listed issuers principally engaged in property investment business as their tangible assets were mainly comprised of investment properties. As such, we consider the comparison of the implied PB Ratio with other listed issuers in Hong Kong principally engaged in property investment business may not be meaningful.

As such, we, at our best effort, consider that there is no comparable analysis that is indicative for comparing with the terms of the Share Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

6. The Option Offer

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 27,942,462 outstanding Options entitling the Option Holders to subscribe for an aggregate of 27,942,462 Shares with exercise price of HK$0.513 per Share. The Option Offer will be made by Kingston Securities on behalf of the Offeror in accordance with Rule 13.5 of the Takeovers Code for the cancellation of all outstanding Options. Acceptance of the Option Offer by the Option Holders will result in the cancellation of those outstanding Options, together with all rights attaching thereto.

Since the exercise price of the outstanding Options is above the Share Offer Price, the outstanding Options are out of money and, therefore, the Option Offer Price for the cancellation of each outstanding Option is set at a nominal value of HK$0.001.

We note that it is a common market practice to adopt a “see-through” price (representing the difference between the share offer price and any given exercise price of the convertible instrument) as the minimum offer/cancellation price for any convertible instrument in conjunction with a general offer for ordinary shares. As such, we consider that the basis of determining the Option Offer is acceptable and in line with market practice.

RECOMMENDATION

In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the Offers, we have considered the principal factors and reasons as discussed above and as summarized below:

  • (a) the Group had been experiencing loss-making results for five consecutive years ended 31 March 2016 and for the six months ended 30 September 2016;

  • (b) having considered that (i) the uncertainty in the prospect of the Group as discussed under the section headed “Prospect and outlook of the Group” above; (ii) no detailed business plan or strategy has been provided by the Offeror as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (iii) the proposed change in the Board composition pursuant to SPA I and the inputs from the new Directors to the Group’s future business development is currently uncertain, the prospects and outlook of the Group’s business may remain uncertain in the foreseeable future;

  • (c) as discussed under the section headed “The Share Offer” above, despite the Share Office Price is set at a discount of the average closing price of the Share during the Review Period, the Share Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 200.32% over the audited consolidated net asset value attributable to the owners of

— 45 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the Company as at 31 March 2016. As such, we are of the view that the discount to the average closing price of the Share during the Review Period is acceptable; and

  • (d) the basis of determining the Option Offer is acceptable and in line with market practice.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Offers are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders are concerned. In addition, the historical liquidity of the Shares on the Stock Exchange was low during the Review Period. The Independent Shareholders may find it difficult to dispose of a large number of Shares in the open market without exerting a downward pressure on the price of the Shares and therefore the Share Offer provides a viable alternative exit to the Independent Shareholders (especially those with more sizeable shareholdings) to realize their investment in the Shares. Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders to accept the Offers.

In the event the Independent Shareholders intend to dispose their Shares in the open market, although the Share Offer Price represents discounts to the closing prices of the Shares during the trading days following publication of the Joint Announcement and up to the Latest Practicable Date, due to the low trading liquidity of the Shares, disposal of large blocks of Shares by the Independent Shareholders in the open market would likely trigger price slump of the Shares. Therefore, we would also like to ask the Independent Board Committee to remind the Independent Shareholders to closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period, and consider selling their Shares in the open market, where possible, instead of accepting the Offers, if the net proceeds from such sales would exceed the net amount receivable under the Offers.

Should the Independent Shareholders who are confident in the future prospects of the Group and decide to retain part or all of their investments in the Shares, they are advised to carefully monitor the intention of the Offeror on the Group in the future.

As each individual Independent Shareholder and Option Holders would have different investment objectives and/or circumstances, we would recommend the Independent Shareholders and Option Holders 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 or registered institution in securities, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant, tax adviser or other professional adviser. Furthermore, they should carefully read the procedures for accepting the Offers as set out in the Composite Document, its appendices and the accompanying Forms of Acceptance.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Donvex Capital Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

31 March 2016

1. General

Culture Landmark Investment Limited (the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated in Bermuda. Its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). Its registered office and principal place of business are at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and Rooms 2501-2505, 25th Floor, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, respectively.

The Company is engaged in investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are set out in note 46. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

2. Adoption of New or Revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) and Amended the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”)

(a) Adoption of revised HKFRSs — first effective on 1 April 2015

HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle

The adoption of these revised HKFRSs has no material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

  • (b) New/revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective

The following new/revised HKFRSs, potentially relevant to the Group’s financial statements have been issued, but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning on 1 April 2015 and have not yet been early adopted by the Group.

— II-13 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

Amendments to HKAS 1 — Disclosure Initiative

The amendments are designed to encourage entities to use judgement in the application of HKAS 1 when considering the layout and content of their financial statements.

An entity’s share of other comprehensive income from equity accounted interests in associates and joint ventures will be split between those items that will and will not be reclassified to profit or loss, and presented in aggregate as a single line item within those two groups.

Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 — Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation

The amendments to HKAS 16 prohibit the use of a revenue-based depreciation method for items of property, plant and equipment. The amendments to HKAS 38 introduce a rebuttable presumption that amortisation based on revenue is not appropriate for intangible assets. This presumption can be rebutted if either the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue or revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.

Amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 — Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments clarify the extent of gains or losses to be recognised when an entity sells or contributes assets to its associate or joint venture. When the transaction involves a business the gain or loss is recognised in full, conversely when the transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business the gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the joint venture or associate.

HKFRS 9 (2014) — Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (the business model test) and that have contractual terms that give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (the contractual cash flow characteristics test) are generally measured at amortised cost. Debt instruments that meet the contractual cash flow characteristics test are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) if the objective of the entity’s business model is both to hold and collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets. Entities may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to measure equity instruments that are not held for trading at FVTOCI. All other debt and equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

HKFRS 9 includes a new expected loss impairment model for all financial assets not measured at FVTPL replacing the incurred loss model in HKAS 39 and new general hedge accounting requirements to allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in financial statements.

HKFRS 9 carries forward the recognition, classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities from HKAS 39, except for financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, where the amount of change in fair value attributable to change in credit risk of the liability is recognised in other comprehensive income unless that would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch. In addition, HKFRS 9 retains the requirements in HKAS 39 for derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.

— II-14 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The new standard establishes a single revenue recognition framework. The core principle of the framework is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. HKFRS 15 supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations.

HKFRS 15 requires the application of a 5 steps approach to revenue recognition:

• Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract • Step 3: Determine the transaction price • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation • Step 5: Recognise revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied

HKFRS 15 includes specific guidance on particular revenue related topics that may change the current approach taken under HKFRS. The standard also significantly enhances the qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to revenue.

HKFRS 16 — Leases

HKFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede HKAS 17 “Leases” and related interpretations, introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under HKFRS 16, a lessee is required to recognise a right-ofuse asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should recognise depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows. Also, the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are initially measured on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee accounting for leases that are classified as operating leases under the predecessor standard, HKAS 17.

In respect of the lessor accounting, HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in HKAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

The Directors will assess the impact of the application of HKFRS 16. For the moment, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of the application of HKFRS 16 until the Group performs a detailed review.

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of these new/revised HKFRSs and the Directors so far concluded that the application of these new/revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

— II-15 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(c) Disclosures of possible impacts on financial statements on initial adoption of the amended Listing Rules

The amended Listing Rules in relation to the presentation and disclosures in financial statements, including the amendments with reference to the new Companies Ordinance, Cap. 622 (the New Ordinance), will first apply to the Company in this financial year. The Directors consider that there is no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. However the amendments to Listing Rules would have impacts on the presentation and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

3. Basis of Preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. In addition, the financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain properties and available-for-sale investments, which are measured at revalued amount or fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

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

4. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Business combination and basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances between group companies together with unrealised profits are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment on the asset transferred, in which case the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisition or up to the effective dates of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

— II-16 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

Acquisition of subsidiaries or businesses is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity interests issued by the Group, as the acquirer. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are principally measured at acquisition-date fair value. The Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss. The Group may elect, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, to measure the non-controlling interests that represent present ownership interests in the subsidiary either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests are measured at fair value unless another measurement basis is required by HKFRSs. Acquisition-related costs incurred are expensed unless they are incurred in issuing equity instruments in which case the costs are deducted from equity.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent adjustments to consideration are recognised against goodwill only to the extent that they arise from new information obtained within the measurement period (a maximum of 12 months from the acquisition date) about the fair value at the acquisition date. All other subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability are recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration balances arising from business combinations whose acquisition dates preceded 1 April 2010 (i.e. the date the Group first applied HKFRS 3 (2008)) have been accounted for in accordance with the transition requirements in the standard. Such balances are not adjusted upon first application of the standard. Subsequent revisions to estimates of such consideration are treated as adjustments to the cost of these business combinations and are recognised as part of goodwill.

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

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interest. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests that represent present ownership interests in the subsidiary is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus such non-controlling interest’s share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to such non-controlling interests even if this results in those non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

— II-17 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(b) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an investee over which the Company is able to exercise control. The Company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: (1) power over the investee, (2) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee, and (3) the ability to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.

In the Company’s statement of financial position, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment loss. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

(c) Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint arrangement. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not control or joint control over those policies. Associates are accounted for using the equity method whereby they are initially recognised at cost and thereafter, their carrying amount are adjusted for the Group’s share of the post-acquisition change in the associates’ net assets except that losses in excess of the Group’s interest in the associate are not recognised unless there is an obligation to make good those losses.

Profits and losses arising on transactions between the Group and its associates are recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate. The investor’s share in the associate’s profits and losses resulting from these transactions is eliminated against the carrying value of the associate. Where unrealised losses provide evidence of impairment of the asset transferred they are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Any premium paid for an associate above the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is capitalised and included in the carrying amount of the associate. Where there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate has been impaired, the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same may as other non-financial assets.

(d) Goodwill and gain on a bargain purchase

Goodwill is initially recognised at cost being the excess of the aggregate of a consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed.

Where the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the aggregated of fair value of consideration paid and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, the excess is recognised in profit or loss on the acquisition date, after re-assessment.

Goodwill is measured at cost less impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill arising from an acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cashgenerating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cashgenerating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. A cashgenerating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired.

— II-18 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount to each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised in profit or loss and is not reversed in subsequent periods.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Leasehold land and buildings are stated at revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. As the fair value of the land cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, the land portion is accounted for as being held under a finance lease. Fair value is determined by the Directors of the Company based on independent valuations which are performed periodically. The valuations are on the basis of open market value. The Directors of the Company review the carrying value of the leasehold land and buildings and adjustment is made where they consider that there has been a material change. Increases in value arising on revaluation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under other properties revaluation reserve. Decreases in value arising on revaluation are first offset against increases on earlier valuations in respect of the same property and are thereafter recognised in profit or loss. Any subsequent increases are recognised in profit or loss up to the amount previously charged and thereafter to the other properties revaluation reserve.

Upon disposal of leasehold land and buildings, the relevant portion of the other properties revaluation reserve realised in respect of previous valuations is released from the other properties revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and the costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognised as an expense in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

— II-19 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated so as to write off their cost net of expected residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The useful lives, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold land and buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements Over lease terms of 2-16 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-5 years Plant and machinery 5 years Motor vehicles 3-5 years Yacht 10 years

An asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is higher than the asset’s estimated recoverable amount.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount, and is recognised in profit or loss on disposal.

(f) Intangible assets

(i) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value at the date of acquisition. Subsequently, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as follows:

Provision of copyright licence fees 8 years settlement and collection services Provision of intellectual property 11 years enforcement services Golf club memberships 12 years, indefinite Customer relationship and customer 10 years contracts Patent 5 years

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

— II-20 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(ii) Impairment

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually by comparing their carrying amounts with their recoverable amounts, irrespective of whether there is any indication that they may be impaired. Intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing their carrying amounts with their recoverable amounts (see note 4(q)). If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when there is an indication that an asset may be impaired (note 4(q)).

(g) Investment properties

Investment property is property held either to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or for both, but not held for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss.

(h) Payments for leasehold land held for own use under operating leases

Payments for leasehold land held for own use under operating leases represent up-front payments to acquire long-term interests in lessee-occupied properties in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). These payments are stated at cost and are amortised over the period of the lease on a straight-line basis as an expense.

(i) Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on straight-line basis over the lease term.

— II-21 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

The Group as lessee

The total rentals payable under the operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integrated part of the total rental expense, over the term of the lease.

(j) Financial instruments

(i) Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets at initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. Financial assets at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value and all other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.

Loans and receivables

These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), and also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Available-for-sale investments

These assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as availablefor-sale or are not included in other categories of financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments, which are recognised in profit or loss.

For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses.

(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets

The Group assesses, at the end of each reporting period, whether there is any objective evidence that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

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

  • granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; and

— II-22 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

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

For loans and receivables

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for the relevant financial asset.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

For available-for-sale investments

Where a decline in the fair value constitutes objective evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.

An impairment losses on available-for-sale debt investments are subsequently reversed in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For available-for-sale equity investment, any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income.

For available-for-sale equity investment that is carried at cost, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversed.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The related interest expense is recognised within “finance costs” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

(iv) Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(v) Equity instruments

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

(vi) Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

(k) Inventories

Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in first-out method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(l) Revenue recognition

Revenue from licence fee collection business is recognised when services are performed.

Compensation for infringement of music licence is recognised when the right to receive the compensation is established and it is probable that the Group will receive the compensation.

Revenue from exhibition and related service is recognised when the exhibition is completed and related services are rendered.

Rental income from operating leases/facility sharing income is recognised on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease/agreement.

Revenue from entertainment services including artist management is recognised when services are rendered.

Revenue from musical works is recognised when the Group’s entitlement to such payments has been established which is upon the delivery of the master copy or materials to the customers.

Revenue from restaurants is recognised when food and beverages are sold and services are provided.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which is at the time of delivery and the title is passed to customer.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(m) Income taxes

Income taxes for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is realised or settled and that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.

An exception to the general requirement on determining the appropriate tax rate used in measuring deferred tax amount is when an investment property is carried at fair value under HKAS 40 “Investment Property”. Unless the presumption is rebutted, the deferred tax amounts on these investment properties are measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of these investment properties at their carrying amounts at the reporting date. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income.

(n) Foreign currency

Transactions entered into by group entities in currencies other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the “functional currency”) are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognised in other comprehensive income.

— II-25 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

On consolidation, income and expense items of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the rates approximating, to those ruling when the transactions took place are used. All assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate ruling at the end of reporting period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve (attributed to noncontrolling interests as appropriate). Exchange differences recognised in the profit or loss of group entities’ separate financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Group’s net investment in the foreign operation concerned are reclassified to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in the foreign exchange reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are reclassified to the profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

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

(o) Employee benefits

(i) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of reporting period.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

(ii) Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The expected costs of profit-sharing and bonus payments are recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

Liabilities for profit-sharing and bonus plans are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised on the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises restructuring costs involving the payment of termination benefits.

(iv) Post-employment benefits

Retirement benefits to employees are provided through several defined contribution plans.

— II-26 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

The Group adopts a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance of Hong Kong for all employees of its subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries but subject to a cap in accordance with the statutory requirement and are recognised in profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme.

The Group has recorded provisions for long service payments for employees who had completed the required number of years of service under Hong Kong’s Employment Ordinance for whom the Group is obligated to pay long service payment on termination of their employment.

The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries that operate in the PRC are required to participate in a government-managed retirement benefit schemes. These subsidiaries are required to contribute a fixed cost per employee to the government-managed retirement benefit schemes. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable.

(p)

Share-based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is recognised in profit or loss over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in the employee share-based compensation reserve within equity. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at the end of each reporting period so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also recognised in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the profit or loss is charged with the fair value of goods or services received unless the goods or services qualify for recognition as assets. A corresponding increase in equity is recognised. For cash settled share based payments, a liability is recognised at the fair value of the goods or services received.

(q) Impairment of other assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the following assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • property, plant and equipment;

  • intangible assets;

— II-27 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • payments for leasehold land held for own use under operating leases;

  • • interests in subsidiaries and associates; and

  • film rights and film in progress.

If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use) of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another HKFRS, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that HKFRS.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another HKFRS, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that HKFRS.

(r) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which it is probably will result in an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(s) Related parties

  • (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control of the Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of key management personnel of the Group or the Company’s parent.

  • (b) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions apply:

  • (i) The entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others);

  • (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);

— II-28 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Group or an entity related to the Group;

  • (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a);

  • (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

  • (viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity and include:

  • (i) that person’s children and spouse or domestic partner;

  • (ii) children of that person’s spouse or domestic partner; and

  • (iii) dependents of that person or that person’s spouse or domestic partner.

(t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs attributable directly to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets which require a substantial period of time to be ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Income earned on temporary investments of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on those assets is deducted from borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(u) Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are recognised as deferred income in consolidated statement of financial position and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset.

— II-29 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(v) Financial guarantee

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by the Group and not designated as at FVTPL is recognised initially at its fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contact at the higher of: (i) the amount determined in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with HKAS 18 Revenue .

The contracted fee of the financial guarantee recognised as other income in profit or loss over the term of the guarantee as income from financial guarantee issued. In addition, provisions are recognised if and when it becomes probable that the holder of the guarantee will call upon the Group under the guarantee and the amount of that claim on the Group is expected to exceed the current carrying amount i.e. the amount initially recognised less accumulated amortisation, where appropriate.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Estimates are evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

(a) Fair value of investment properties and leasehold land and buildings

The fair value of the investment properties and leasehold land and buildings are determined by independent valuers on an open market value for existing use basis. In making their judgment, consideration has been given to assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of reporting period, by reference to recent market transactions and appropriate capitalisation rates based on an estimation of the rental income. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Group.

(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Management determines the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment and will revise depreciation charges when useful lives differ from previous estimates.

(c) Impairment test of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

— II-30 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

(d) Impairment loss on intangible assets

Determining whether an intangible asset is impaired requires an estimation of the future cash flow and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

(e) Impairment of interests in associates

The Group’s management assesses impairment of interests in associates at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amounts of the assets are determined.

Value in use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions about future events, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making these key estimates and judgements, the management takes into consideration assumptions that are mainly based on market condition existing at the reporting date, appropriate market and discount rates and what information it can obtain from the associates. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Group.

(f) Impairment loss on loans and receivables

The policy for impairment of loans and receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the loans and receivables and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these loans and receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment may be required.

6. Segment Reporting

Management determines operating segments based on the reports regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, which is the Board, in assessing performance and allocating resources. The chief operating decision maker considers the business primarily on the basis of the types of services supplied by the Group. The Group is currently organised into seven operating divisions — licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, exhibition-related business, property sub-leasing business, property development and investment, sludge and sewage treatment, entertainment business and food and beverages.

Principal activities are as follows:

Licence fee — operation of the business of the licences of copyright to collection and karaoke music products and provision of intellectual property provision of enforcement services in the PRC as managed by China Music intellectual Video Collective Management Association* property (中國音像著作權集體管理協會)(the “MVCM Association”) enforcement services business Exhibition-related — organising all kinds of exhibition events and meeting events business

In accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of assets”, management of the Group performed impairment test for goodwill allocated to the Group’s various cash generating units (“CGUs”) by comparing their recoverable amounts to their carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculation.

  • (a) The recoverable amount of the CGU in relation to provision of intellectual property enforcement services was zero and determined from value-in-use calculation based on cash flow projections covering from 2015 to 2022, which is the period whereby an exclusive right has been granted to the Group by the MVCM Association to provide intellectual property enforcement services. Discount rate of 15.5% per annum is used in the calculation which was provided by APAC for the year ended 31 March 2015. The key assumption have been determined by the Group’s management based on past performance and its expectations for the industry development. During the year ended 31 March 2015, the goodwill of HK$79,427,363 was fully impaired and impairment loss on intangible assets of HK$68,494,242 were provided (note 19(b)). It was because the revenue generated from the CGU has dropped. The Directors considered that the customer, the karaoke venue operators, were affected by the reduction in expenditures in entertainment and recreation activities in the PRC and the industry would experience no growth in future.

  • (b) On 8 July 2011, the Group acquired the entire issued share capital of BoRen Cultural Development Limited (“BoRen”) which is engaged in sub-leasing of properties and facilities in Nanjing, the PRC. The estimated recoverable amount was HK$103,015,144 and determined from value-in-use calculation. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 5% revenue growth rate per annum. Discount rate of 10% per annum was used in the calculation which was provided by APAC in 2015 with reference to similar companies. The key assumptions have been determined by the Group’s management based on past performance and its expectations for the industry development. During the year ended 31 March 2015, the goodwill of HK$16,591,728 was fully impaired, it was mainly due to keen competition in property market and adverse economic environment in the PRC, and significant investments in renovation of leasehold improvements for sustaining the growth in future.

The Great Group is principally engaged in the operation of sludge and sewage treatment plants in the PRC. The estimated recoverable amount was zero and determined from value-in-use calculation based on cash flow projections covering a five-year period.

The key assumption is have been determined by the Group’s management based on past performance and its expectations for the industry development.

During the year ended 31 March 2016, the goodwill of HK$20,023,466 was fully impaired (2015: nil) and impairment loss on intangible assets of HK$285,882 (2015: nil) were made (note 19(f)) as certain potential projects were suspended due to expiration and are pending for re-negotiation and financing.

All the discount rates used above are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments.

As at 31 March 2015, impairment loss of HK$68,494,242 was recognised due to the reason as described in note 18(a).

  • (c) For the purpose of impairment testing on the golf club memberships, the recoverable amount has been determined based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair value less costs to sell is referenced to the second-hand market price of the golf club memberships less estimated costs of disposal.

As at 31 March 2015, impairment loss of HK$19,864,005 was recognised in respect of the customer relationship and customer contracts as the Directors consider the clients of the CRA Group are primarily the PRC based textile manufacturers which are recently facing the industry downturn, and in addition, the drop in the client base of the CRA Group due to the exhibitions held in the PRC attract a significant number of the existing clients of the CRA Group.

  • (e) During the year ended 31 March 2015, films in progress were fully disposed.

  • (f) Patent represents the technologies for sludge and sewage treatment. Patent with carrying amount of HK$285,882 is attributable to the same CGU with which the goodwill amount is recognised for the sludge and sewage treatment business.

30. Provision for Long Service Payments

The Group has recorded provision for long service payment obligations for employees. Under the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance, the Group is obliged to make lump sum payments on cessation of employment in certain circumstances to certain employees who have completed at least five years of service with the Group. The amount payable is dependent on the employees’ final salary and year of service, and is reduced by entitlements accrued under the Group’s retirement plans that are attributable to contributions made by the Group. The Group does not set aside any assets to fund any remaining obligations.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried forward to the extent that realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. As at 31 March 2016, no deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of the unused tax losses (2015: nil) due to unpredictability of future profit streams. Tax losses of HK$101,281,858 (2015: HK$85,029,605) can be carried forward indefinitely and the tax losses of HK$72,453,144 (2015: HK$49,938,043) will be expired in five years.

In addition to the amount charged to the profit or loss, deferred tax relating to the revaluation of the Group’s certain leasehold land and buildings during the year has been recognised in other comprehensive income.

APPENDIX II

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to income tax levied by same taxation authority on the same taxable entity. The following amounts, determined after appropriate offsetting, are shown in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position:

At the end of the reporting period, the aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with undistributed earnings of subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised is HK$1,361,876 (2015: HK$748,622). No liability has been recognised in respect of these differences because the Group is in a position to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that such differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

(b) Capital management policy

The capital structure of the Group consists of debts, which includes the bank borrowings disclosed in note 28, net of cash and bank balances and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves. The Group’s risk management reviews the capital structure on annual basis. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.

The gearing ratio at the end of reporting period was as follows:

Reserve Description and purpose
Company
Share premium Amount subscribed for share capital in excess of nominal value.
Contributed surplus The difference between the consolidated shareholders’ funds
of the subsidiaries at the date when they were acquired by
the Company and the nominal amount of the Company’s
shares issued for the acquisition at the time of the group
reorganisation prior to the listing of the Company’s shares
in 1991. Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as
amended), the contributed surplus is available for distribution
to the shareholders provided that the Company is able to meet
its obligations after distribution and the net realisable value of
the Company’s assets would not be less than the aggregate of
its liabilities, issued share capital and share premium accounts.
Employee share-based Cumulative expenses recognised on the granting of share
compensation reserve options to the employees over the vesting period.
Accumulated losses Cumulative net losses recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Group
Other reserve The difference between the consideration and the carrying
amount of the net assets attributable to the additional and
reduction of interests in subsidiaries being acquired from and
disposed to non-controlling equity holders respectively.
Other properties revaluation Gains/losses arising on the revaluation of the Group’s leasehold
reserve land and buildings (other than investment property) (see note
16). The balance on this reserve is wholly undistributable.
Foreign exchange reserve Gains/losses arising on retranslating the net assets of foreign
operations into Hong Kong dollars.
Investment revaluation Gains/losses arising on recognising financial assets classified as
reserve available for sale at fair value.
Accumulated losses Cumulative net losses recognised in the consolidated statement
& comprehensive income.

34. Share Options

On 30 August 2002, the Company adopted a share option scheme (the “Old Share Option Scheme”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining quality personnel and other persons who may contribute to the business and operation of the Group. Options may be granted without any initial payment to persons including Directors, employees or consultants of the Group.

On 30 August 2012, the Company adopted a new share option scheme (the “New Share Option Scheme”) which was approved in the Company’s annual general meeting on 29 August 2012. The New Share Option Scheme will remain in force for a period of 10 years from 30 August 2012. A summary of the rules of the New Share Option Scheme is set out in the appendix to the Company’s circular dated 20 July 2012.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

On 23 December 2013, options were granted to Directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries under the New Share Options Scheme to subscribe for up to 32,333,421 ordinary shares of the Company (“2013 Share Options”). The estimated fair value of the options granted on that date was approximately HK$9,376,692 and the amount was recognised as staff cost expense for the year ended 31 March 2014.

The fair value of the 2013 Share Options was calculated using Binominal Option Pricing Model. The inputs into the model are as follows:

2013
Share Options
Grant date 23 December 2013
Grant date share price HK$0.55 per share
Exercise price HK$0.57 per share
Expected life 10 years
Expected volatility 80%
Expected dividend yield Nil
Risk-free interest rate 2.26%

Expected volatility is determined by using the historical volatility of the Company’s share price over the previous one year. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

The sensitivity analysis on equity price risk includes the Group’s financial instruments, which fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in their corresponding or underlying asset’s equity price. If the prices of the respective equity instruments had been 50% (2015: 50%) higher/lower, the other component of equity would increase/decrease by HK$6,395,668 (2015: HK$10,634,105).

44. Summary of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities by Category

The following table shows the carrying amount and fair value of financial assets and liabilities as defined in note 4(j):

(a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.

  • The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instruments.

  • (b) The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments carried at fair value by level of fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(c) Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements

Contingent consideration related to acquisition of subsidiaries

The contingent consideration is related acquisition of Boren on 8 July 2011 which is engaged in sub-leasing of properties and facilities in Nanjing in the PRC. The carrying amount of the contingent consideration had been fully impaired during the year ended 31 March 2015.

Binomial option pricing model is used for valuation of the contingent consideration in related to acquisition of subsidiaries. Significant input into the model was as follows:

Expected 2015 net profits after taxation and non-controlling RMB2,865,000
interests
Expected 2016 net profits after taxation and non-controlling RMB6,596,000
interests
Expected 2017 net profits after taxation and non-controlling RMB9,847,000
interests
Annual risk-free rate 2.8-3.1%
Expected volatility 40%

The fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisition of subsidiaries is determined using binomial option pricing model and the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is expected 2015 – 2017 net profits after taxation and non-controlling interests. The fair value measurement is negatively correlated to the expected 2015 – 2017 net profits after taxation and non-controlling interests. As at 31 March 2014, it is estimated that with all other variables held constant, an increase/ decrease in expected 2015 – 2017 net profits after taxation and non-controlling interests by 20%, which is a reasonable magnitude determined by management, would have no effect on the Group’s other comprehensive income.

Pursuant to the Copyright Co-operation Agreements, the MVCM Association, China Music and Song Labs have set up a market operation team in the PRC to manage and operate the business of the licenses of copyright to karaoke music products in the PRC, and China Music and Song Labs are entitled to certain portion of the license fees in the PRC. Under the Copyright Co-operation Agreements, the MVCM Association takes the role as the sole market manager and China Music and Song Labs together take the role as the sole market operator. Pursuant to the Copyright Co-operation Agreements, the MVCM Association is required to collect the license fees from the karaoke operators and distribute and pay certain portion of such license fees to China Music and Song Labs on a weekly basis as operating fees (the “Operating Fees”).

As at 12 November 2015, the MVCM Association has not paid certain Operating Fees to China Music and Song Labs, despite repeated demands were made by China Music and Song Labs to the MVCM Association. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the outstanding Operating Fees payable by the MVCM Association amounted to approximately RMB34,000,000 as at 12 November 2015.

Accordingly, 北京巿朝陽區人民法院 (The People’s Court of Chaoyang, Beijing) will commence necessary procedures for the Litigation upon receipt of the litigation fee from China Music and Song Labs.

The Litigation is still on preliminary stage and the Company’s PRC legal counsel is currently taking all necessary steps to protect the Company’s interests.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 September 2016

1. Basis of Preparation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“ HKAS ”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”) and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under historical cost basis except for certain properties and available-for-sale investments, which are measured at revalued amount or fair value.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosure required in the Group’s annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

The HKICPA has issued a few amendments to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) that are relevant to the Group’s operation and are mandatory for the first time for the Group’s financial year beginning 1 April 2016. These amendments to standards had no material impact on the presentation of the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies used in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

The following new/revised HKFRSs, potentially relevant to the Group have been issued, but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning on 1 April 2016 and have not yet been early adopted by the Group.

The following table presents financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date in accordance with fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy groups financial assets into three levels based on the relative reliability of significant inputs used in measuring the fair value of these financial assets.

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset is categorised in its entirety is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The financial assets measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:
