The Company’s register of members will be closed from 4 August 2016 to 9 August 2016, both dates inclusive, for the purpose of, among other things, establishing entitlements to the Open Offer. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders

The Board will make enquiries as to whether the issue of the Offer Shares to the Overseas Shareholders may contravene the applicable securities legislation of the relevant overseas jurisdictions or the requirements of any relevant regulatory body or stock exchange pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and result of the enquiries will be included in the Prospectus. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient, on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place, not to offer the Offer Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, the Open Offer will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders.

  • (v) a discount of approximately 18.92% to the closing price of HK$0.37 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

The Subscription Price was agreed based on arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter after having taken into account primarily the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 September 2015 of approximately HK$0.31. The Directors consider that the terms of the Open Offer are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The net Subscription Price per Offer Share is approximately HK$0.292.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  1. Idea Elite Investments Limited is controlled by Wang Ming, the spouse of Tsoi Tung, who in turn is an executive Director.

  2. These Directors have been granted with Options.

  3. Commotra Company Limited is controlled by China Resources (Holdings) Company Limited, which is controlled by CRC Bluesky Limited, which is in turn controlled by China Resources Co., Limited, which is in turn controlled by China Resources National Corporation.

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, exhibition-related business, property subleasing business, property development and investment, sludge and sewage treatment, entertainment business, as well as food and beverages business. The Group was also granted with a money lenders licence to conduct money lending business in Hong Kong.

For the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$131.3 million. 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. As at 31 March 2016, the net current liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$45.3 million. As at 31 March 2016, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$103.0 million. Apart from trade payables, the Group’s current liabilities were primarily attributable to (i) amounts due to noncontrolling shareholders of approximately HK$53.6 million, which was interest free and repayable on demand; (ii) amount due to related parties of approximately HK$27.1 million which was interest free and repayable on demand; and (iii) short term bank loan of approximately HK$50.7 million. The Group had been experiencing loss-making results for five consecutive years ended 31 March 2016, during which the aggregate loss attributable to Shareholders amounted to approximately HK$1,000.8 million. An aggregate of approximately HK$172.5 million negative cashflow had also been recorded for the past five consecutive years ended 31 March 2016.

The trading volume of the Shares was thin for the 12 months immediately prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement. Market capitalisation of the Shares is also maintained at a relatively small scale at approximately HK$423.9 million. The price performance of the Shares has been on a gradual downward trend since the second half of 2015.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To tackle the problems relating to the Group’s performance and financial position, it has been the continuous goal of the Board to turn around the situation and look for opportunities to enhance the Group’s earning potential, as having been previously stated in the Company’s annual report. While conducting a review of the Group’s existing business, the Directors considered the Group’s money lenders licence could in fact be utilised to its advantage. The Group was granted the money lenders licence back in 2007. It has been maintaining the money lending operations on a small scale and the profits of this sector have been relatively small. Yet given the macro economic environment (which the Directors believed were not optimistic), there may be an increasing demand in money lending business and third party financing services. As announced by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the estimated number of residential mortgage loans in negative equity as at 31 March 2016 increased to 1,432 cases, representing an increase of more than 14 times compared to that as at 31 December 2015. In fact, it has come to the Board’s attention that increasing number of potential clients has approached the Group for lending purpose. However, due to the lack of capital, the Group had repeatedly turned away such opportunities, save for some relatively small and short-term money lending transactions conducted in the past.

While the Group’s then existing budget had not catered for the basic capital required for expansion of the money lending business, the Directors considered it imperative to obtain the necessary funds as soon as possible so as to ride on such opportunity. Time is of the essence. Also, the Directors do not consider it a good corporate governance practice nor is it a proper discharge of their fiduciary duties if the Group seeks for funds only when its cash level is dropped to an alarming level. In addition, the Directors were also mindful of the requirements under the Listing Rules and other regulatory requirements, and therefore would like to allow reasonable time for the Company to go through all necessary compliance and planning on the fund raising timeline. To this end, the Directors had started exploring different means of fund raising.

As regards debt financing such as bank borrowings, it would increase the gearing ratio of the Group, and the Group would have to bear the corresponding interest expense. The poor financial performance of the Group also affects serviceability of any bank borrowings. As stated in the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2015, personal and corporate guarantees were given to banks for certain bank loans by a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company. Further, personal assets of the aforesaid director of certain subsidiaries of the Company had been pledged to secure the bank loans. The interest rates for the six months ended 30 September 2015 ranged from 2.79% to 7.20% per annum (31 March 2015: from 7.20% to 17.64% per annum). Also, given the mixed nature of assets held by the Group, the Directors did not consider they could provide adequate collateral to secure a viable sum of bank borrowings.

— 24 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As regards placing of Shares, given the Share’s unsatisfactory market performance in the past, based on their experience, the Directors believed no institutional placing agent would be willing to commit on a fully underwritten basis. If placing were to be conducted via a placing agent on a best effort basis only, the Directors believed not too many placees would be attracted due to the Share’s performance. In such case, the costs to be incurred would not be justifiable by the results, and might even turn into a waste of money and time.

As regards subscription by individual subscriber, again, given the Group’s financial and market performance history, it is not difficult for a reasonable person to come to a conclusion that this is possible only when the subscription price comes with a steep discount and the subscription itself imposing enormous dilution effect. Although the Directors noticed in the past 24 months prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement, various other listed issuers were conducting the same and this appeared to be a common practice recognised by the Stock Exchange to raise funds, the Directors were weary of such method. The Directors believed an outright substantial dilution to Shareholders’ shareholding would do more harm than good.

It was against the aforesaid background that the Directors decided an offer of Shares by way of rights would be more appropriate to raise funds. Yet, based on the Directors’ market experience, given the Group’s, the Share’s as well as the macro economic performance, it would be extremely difficult to locate an institutional underwriter. The Directors were also aware of the fact that based on recently published offers prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriting commission payable would be of considerable sum as well. Although subsequently the Company did approach financial institutions in Hong Kong as underwriters of the Open Offer, such financial institutions rejected such opportunity.

Having exhausted all available means in terms of finance options, the Board therefore proceeded to explore the possibility of having a connected person to act as underwriter to an offer of Shares. However, so far only the Underwriter had shown considerable interests. This therefore has become the only viable means for the Company to raise funds under the current circumstances.

The net proceeds from the Open Offer (after deducting the relevant expense including professional fees, printing charges and sundry expenses) will amount to not less than approximately HK$104,777,857 and not more than approximately HK$108,550,090. It is intended that out of the net proceeds, (i) approximately HK$74,777,857 to HK$78,550,090 will be applied in conducting the money lending business of the Group in Hong Kong; and (ii) approximately HK$30,000,000 will be used as general working capital of the Group.

— 25 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the Open Offer will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and provide sufficient capital to support the development of the Group’s money lending business. The Board further considers that it is prudent to finance the Group’s long-term business development by long-term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group’s finance costs.

The Board considers that the Open Offer will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interest in the Company. The Directors are of the view that fund raising through the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, exhibition-related business, property subleasing business, property development and investment, sludge and sewage treatment, entertainment business, as well as food and beverages business. The Group was also granted with a money lenders licence to conduct money lending business in Hong Kong. For the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group recorded a loss attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$131.3 million. Licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, exhibition-related business and property subleasing business continued to be the Group’s main source of income. Yet among the seven reportable segments of the Group, except for the property sub-leasing business segment, all other reportable segments of the Group were loss making.

Looking ahead, the Directors expect the business environment to remain challenging, but are cautiously optimistic towards the overall outlook of the Group. The Group plans to maintain its existing business, with a focus on licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business, exhibition-related business and property subleasing business. The Group will continue to closely monitor and review its existing business from time to time and adopt timely and appropriate measures to improve the business operation and financial position of the Group. At the same time, the Group will also continuously explore and look for opportunities to diversify the business of the Group and to enhance shareholder value.

In view of macro-economic environment (which the Directors believed were not optimistic), there may be an increasing demand in money lending business and third party financing services. The Group intends to further develop its money lending business. The

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

On 16 May 2016, the Company proposed to raise not less than approximately HK$107.8 million and not more than approximately HK$111.6 million, before expenses, by way of an Open Offer of not less than 359,259,523 and not more than 371,833,632 Offer Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders at a Subscription Price of HK$0.30 per Offer Share on the basis of one (1) Offer Share for every two (2) Shares held on the Record Date. The Open Offer is not available to the Excluded Shareholders. Qualifying Shareholders are not entitled to apply for excess Offer Shares not taken up in excess of their respective assured entitlements under the Open Offer.

As no excess application for Offer Shares shall be available to the Qualifying Shareholders, and the Open Offer is fully underwritten by the Underwriter (being an executive Director, the chairman of the Company and a substantial Shareholder), (i) the absence of excess application for Offer Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders must be specifically approved by the Independent Shareholders pursuant to Rule 7.26A(2) of the Listing Rules; and (ii) the transactions contemplated under the Underwriting Agreement constitute a connected transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, and are therefore subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Underwriter is an executive Director, the chairman of the Company and a substantial Shareholder beneficially interested in (i) 89,300,000 Shares, representing approximately 12.43% of the issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) Options to subscribe for 5,987,670 Shares. Ms. Bai is the spouse of the Underwriter beneficially interested in 49,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.01% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Each of the Underwriter and Ms. Bai has undertaken in the Underwriting Agreement (i) not to dispose of the Shares and Options beneficially held by them prior to the close of the Open Offer; (ii) (in respect of the Underwriter only) not to exercise the Options granted to him prior to the close of the Open Offer; and (iii) to accept all Offer Shares allotted to them (in their capacities as a Shareholders) on an assured allotment basis.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has conditionally agreed to underwrite, on a fully underwritten basis, the Underwritten Shares (being the total number of Offer Shares less such number of Offer Shares agreed to be taken up by the Underwriter and Ms. Bai respectively pursuant to the aforesaid undertaking). Assuming no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the close of the Open Offer, in the event that the Underwriter is called upon to subscribe the Underwritten Shares in full pursuant to its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the interests in the Company held by the Underwriter and the parties acting in concert with him (including Ms. Bai) upon the close of the Open Offer will increase from approximately 12.44% to approximately 41.62% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the

The Underwriter and the parties acting in concert with him will, in the absence of the Whitewash Waiver, be obliged to make a mandatory cash offer for all issued Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by them pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and to make appropriate offer for the Options pursuant to Rule 13 of the Takeovers Code. The Underwriter has applied to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver, which shall be subject to, among others, the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive, the Open Offer will not proceed.

The Board has established the Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Tong Jingguo, Mr. Yang Rusheng and Mr. So Tat Keung to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole and as to voting in respect of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver. We, BaoQiao Partners Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

In accordance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules, the Underwriter and Ms. Bai, any of their respective associates or parties acting in concert with them, and persons who are involved or interested in the Open Offer (other than in the sole capacity as a Shareholder), the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver will abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions in respect of the Open Offer (including the absence of excess application arrangement under the Open Offer), the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver at the SGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ms. Lei Lei, an executive Director, is beneficially interested in Options to subscribe for 5,388,903 Shares. She was involved in the negotiations of the Underwriting Agreement on behalf of the Company and therefore will abstain from voting at the SGM should she become a Shareholder thereon.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationship with or interest in the Group or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Apart from normal professional fees in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no other arrangement exists whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Group or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. As such, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 2.6 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules. We have not acted as the independent financial adviser to the Company for the two years prior to the date of this letter.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(i) Financial performance of the Group

The total revenue for the Group mainly derived from (i) licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business for karaoke music products in the PRC; (ii) exhibition-related business; and (iii) property sub-leasing business, which in aggregate contributed over 99.1% and 99.7%, of the Group’s total revenue for FY2015 and FY2016 respectively. Geographically, China is the largest market contributing over 99.1% and 99.7% of the Group’s total revenue for each of FY2015 and FY2016. The Group shows a downward trend in revenue and has been loss making for each of FY2015 and FY2016.

Turnover for FY2016 was approximately HK$112.0 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$29.4 million or 20.8% as compared to the turnover of approximately HK$141.4 million for FY2015. As shown in the above table, the decrease in turnover was mainly attributable to the decrease in turnover from the licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business and the exhibitionrelated business, partially offset by the improvement in the Group’s property sub-leasing business for FY2016.

As set out in the 2016 Results Announcement, higher rental income was reported for the Group’s property sub-leasing business in the PRC, from approximately HK$33.6 million for FY2015 to approximately HK$44.2 million for FY2016. Nevertheless, turnover from the licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business decreased from approximately HK$39.7 million to approximately HK$12.8 million, which was mainly attributable to (i) the absence of the licence fee from Hua Rong Sheng Shi Holding Limited (“ Hua Rong ”), a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company principally engaged in the provision of copyright license fees settlement and collection of copyright license fees services in respect of karaoke music products and videos in PRC upon completion of the disposal of Hua Rong by the Company in August 2014, which contributed approximately 36.6% of the segment revenue for FY2015 as advised by the management of the Company; and (ii) less operating fees collected from MVCM Association due to the non-payment of the operating fees from MVCM Association as further explained under paragraph headed “Litigation” below. The decrease in turnover from the exhibition-related business was mainly as a result of the slowing economy in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Loss of approximately HK$133.8 million for FY2016 as compared to approximately HK$450.6 million for FY2015 was resulted, mainly due to the absence of (i) the loss on disposal of Hua Rong of approximately HK$16.0 million; (ii) the amortization on intangible asset and deferred expenditure of approximately HK$24.0 million; and (iii) the impairment loss on available-for-sale investments, goodwill and intangible assets of approximately HK$332.3 million recognized in FY2015, partially set off against the (i) gain on disposal of listed securities of approximately HK$14.3 million for FY2016; (ii) impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets of approximately HK$20.3 million for the sludge and sewage treatment business due to the suspension of certain projects during FY2016 and (iii) the impairment of trade and other receivables of HK$41.3 million, of which HK$37.7 million represented the outstanding operating fees from MVCM Association as at 31 March 2016.

In addition, the Group reported net current liabilities of approximately HK$45.3 million as at 31 March 2016 as compared to net current assets of HK$112.3 million as at 31 March 2015.

As set out in the 2016 Results Announcement and the information disclosed in the section headed “Litigation” in Appendix III – “General Information” to this Circular in relation to the legal proceedings (the “ Litigation ”) initiated by both China Music Video Broadcast (Shenzhen) Company Limited(中音傳播 (深圳)有限公司)(“ China Music ”), an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Song Labs Co, Ltd(北京天語同聲信息技術有限公司) (“ Song Labs ”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company against China Music Video Collective Management Association(中國音像著作權集 體管理協會)(the “ MVCM Association* ”) in the PRC court regarding the nonpayment of the outstanding operating fees due from MVCM Association to China Music and Song Labs.

The operating fees income from MVCM Association accounted for approximately 14.3% and 8.3% of the Group’s revenue for FY2015 and FY2016. We concur with the Directors’ view that the non-recovery of the outstanding operating fees may accordingly have negative impact on the interests of the Group’s license fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business. As it is uncertain as to whether the Group can fully recover the outstanding operating fees from MVCM Association under the Litigation, the Company recognised an impairment loss on trade receivables of approximately RMB30.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$37.7 million) for FY2016, which represented the amount of outstanding operating fee income due from MVCM Association and recognised by the Group as at 31 March 2016.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As advised by the Directors, there is no fixed contracted amount under the existing cooperative contracts with MVCM Association. As the entire amount of outstanding fee receivable from MVCM Association was fully impaired in the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016, the historical effect of the Litigation on the Group’s financial statements was therefore properly presented for Shareholders’ information.

We also noted that the Company has issued two announcements dated 23 May 2016 and 2 June 2016 (the “ Litigation Announcements ”) to keep its shareholders informed of the latest development of the Litigation.

As disclosed in the Litigation Announcements, the Group, as the plaintiff of the litigation, initiated legal proceedings against MVCM Association in the PRC court claiming for, among other things, a declaration that the unilateral termination of one of the co-operation agreements (the “ Agreement ”) by MVCM Association was invalid and that MVCM Association should continue to perform its obligations under the Agreement. Based on our discussion with the Directors, subject to the results of the Litigation, the Agreement, which will expire in 2022, will continue to be valid. We are of the view that there is an uncertainty on the due performance of MVCM Association under the Agreement, which may therefore affect the interests of the Company in the license fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement services business pending the results of the Litigation.

As the Litigation is on a preliminary stage, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Company is not in a position to predict the timing and the results thereof.

(d) Recent business development of the Group

With reference to the 2016 Results Announcement, the Directors expect the business environment of the Group remain challenging and while maintaining the momentum in its existing businesses, the Board will continue to explore and look for opportunities to diversify the business of the Group and to enhance Shareholders value.

Money lending business

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Group obtained a money lenders licence under the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and commenced small scale money lending transactions since 2012. As

advised by the management of the Company, the Group intends to expand the scale of the money lending business in the future in order to generate more income to the Group, and enhance values for the Shareholders.

Sludge and sewage treatment

The Group completed the acquisition of 51% equity interests of Suzhou Great Research & Industrialization Co., Ltd.(蘇州格瑞特環保科技產業發展有 限公司)(“ Great Research ”) in August 2015, which is principally engaged in the provision of sludge and sewage treatment services (the “ Sludge and Sewage Treatment Business* ”) in the PRC. As disclosed in the 2016 Results Announcement, no turnover was generated from the Sludge and Sewage Treatment Business for FY2016 and its growth will depend on any new projects carried out in the future.

II. Reasons for the Open Offer and use of proceeds

As advised by the Directors, the Group has been continuously exploring and identifying suitable investment and business opportunities, including financial services business, in order to diversify its business and enhance value for the Shareholders.

The gross proceeds from the Open Offer will be not less than approximately HK$107.8 million and not more than approximately HK$111.6 million. The net proceeds from the Open Offer after deducting all relevant expenses are estimated to be not less than approximately HK$104.8 million and not more than approximately HK$108.6 million. As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, it is intended that out of the net proceeds, (i) approximately HK$74.8 million to HK$78.6 million will be applied in the money lending business of the Group in Hong Kong; and (ii) approximately HK$30.0 million will be used as general working capital of the Group.

As confirmed by the Directors, the Company had not carried out other equity fund raising activities during the past 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has not entered into any agreement, understanding, intention or negotiation regarding any fund raising plan.

(a) Funding needs for the development of money lending businesses

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Group obtained a money lenders licence under the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong) since 2007 and commenced small scale money lending transactions since 2012. The Group intends to expand the scale in money lending business in the

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

future in order to generate more income to the Group and enhance value for the Shareholders. The Group is planning to provide loans to borrowers, subject to the size and nature of the loans, background and repayment capability of the borrowers and the quality of the collaterals. It is currently expected that the additional capital requirement for this business is approximately HK$70.0 million, subject to further revision depending on the then prevailing market condition and operating environment. We have discussed about the money lending business with the management of the Company and the Company considers that the demand for finance services business, especially money lending business in Hong Kong, is promising and the number of non-bank licensed moneylenders witnessed rapid growth and increased from 959 in 2012 to 1,730 up to 31 May 2016 (Source: Companies Registry*), represented by a compound annual growth rate of about 18.9%. As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, it has come to the Board’s attention that increasing number of potential clients has approached the Group for lending purpose. However, due to the lack of capital, the Group had repeatedly turned away such opportunities, save for some relatively small and short-term money lending transactions conducted in the past. As advised by the management of the Company, the Group has already achieved progress in the money lending business. The interest income generated from the money lending business was approximately HK$0.9 million, HK$0.7 million and HK$0.8 million for FY2014, FY2015 and FY2016 respectively and the individual loan size was ranged from approximately HK$3.1 million to HK$22.5 million during the above years. The Directors are of the view that, with the available funds, the Group could expand its money lending business through offering the financial services to more clients and enhancing its ability to cater for customers with larger money lending needs, thereby generating more income for the Group.

The Group currently has preliminary negotiations with various potential customers for lending purpose and given that an increasing number of potential clients has approached the Group for lending purpose as stated in the Letter from the Board, the expansion of the reserve would lead the money lending business to a better position to expand its loan portfolio and customer base, the Board considers that it is crucial to conduct a fund raising exercise as soon as possible in order to raise sufficient capital to enable the Group to further develop its money lending business.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(b) Funding needs for general working capital of the Group

As noted from the 2016 Results Announcement, the Group reported net current liabilities of approximately HK$45.3 million as at 31 March 2016. The current liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2016 was approximately HK$263.2 million, which mainly comprised trade, bills and other payables of approximately HK$128.6 million and borrowings of approximately HK$131.3 million. The current assets of the Group as at 31 March 2016 of approximately HK$218.0 million, which mainly comprised trade and other receivables of approximately HK$73.3 million, inventories of approximately HK$32.6 million, cash and bank balances of approximately HK$103.0 million and the amount due from an associate of approximately HK$5.3 million. As advised by the management of the Company, the cash and bank balances of the Group increased to approximately HK$103.3 million as at 31 May 2016, of which approximately HK$45.3 million has been pledged as security for bills payable, credit and banking facilities of the Group.

Given that (i) all short-term debts are due within the next 12 months; (ii) the Group reported net current liabilities of approximately HK$45.3 million as at 31 March 2016; and (iii) the current cash position of the Group, we are of the view that the net proceeds of the Open Offer will help to strengthen the capital base and improve the working capital position of the Group in order to support the operation and development of the Group’s businesses.

(c) Financial alternatives available to the Group

As advised by the management of the Company, apart from equity financing, the Company has considered other fund raising alternatives before resorting to the Open Offer, including but not limited to debt financing (such as bank borrowings), placing of new shares and rights issue. The Company considers that, in comparison, debt financing exercises such as bank borrowings will increase the gearing ratio of the Company and the Company will also have to bear the corresponding interest expenses. Given the historical loss making position of the Group and the money lending business is relatively small scale and new to the Group, the availability of bank borrowings is uncertain and it will be subject to negotiations with banks which may take considerable time. Placing of new Shares will only be available to certain placees who were not necessarily the existing Shareholders and would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders and the placing price would come with a steep discount in light of the Group’s financial performance.

— 46 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Board has also considered rights issue as an alternative means of fund raising other than the Open Offer. Although a rights issue enables those Shareholders who do not wish to take up their provisional entitlements to trade their nil-paid rights, it would incur additional administrative work and costs by the Company to arrange for the trading of nil-paid rights. Having considered and balanced against the additional administrative work and cost in connection with the trading arrangements of nil-paid rights, and given that all Qualifying Shareholders can have an equal opportunity to participate in the Open Offer, the Directors are of the view that raising funds by way of the Open Offer is a more cost-effective option than a rights issue.

Based on the above, and having considered that (i) debt financing may incur interest burden to the Company; (ii) placing of new Shares will further dilute the proportional of interests of the existing Shareholders and the placing price is expected to be in a steep discount in light of the Group’s financial performance; (iii) rights issue which involves the trading of the nil-paid rights may incur relatively higher costs to complete as compared with an open offer; and (iv) the Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to participate in the Open Offer and maintain their proportional interests in the Company, we consider that the Open Offer is an equitable means to raise capital for the Company.

Having considered that (i) majority of the net proceeds from the Open Offer will be applied to business expansion in money lending business, which will in turn diversify the Group’s business portfolio and broaden the income source of the Group; (ii) additional fund for sustaining the Group’s operations will help to strengthen the capital base and improve the working capital position of the Group; (iii) the Open Offer’s advantage in offering all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and enabling the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and participating continuously in the future development of the Company should they wish to do so; and (iv) notwithstanding the availability of alternative fund raising methods, it is prudent to finance the Group’s long-term growth by long term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group’s finance costs, we concur with the Directors’ view that conducting the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders.

— 48 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Options, the Company had no derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares.

The Open Offer is conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional and not being terminated in accordance with its terms or otherwise. The conditions to the Underwriting Agreement are set out in the Letter from the Board contained in the Circular.

(a) The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.30 per Offer Share will be payable in full upon application for the relevant assured allotment of Offer Shares by a Qualifying Shareholder and represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 18.92% to the closing price of HK$0.37 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 49.15% to the closing price of HK$0.59 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

— 49 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Subscription Price was agreed based on arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter after having taken into account the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 September 2015.

As discussed with management of the Company, given that the financial performance of the Group’s existing businesses was on a sliding trend and the Group has recorded consecutive losses for the five consecutive years since 2011, the Directors consider that a lower subscription price shall encourage the existing Shareholders to take up their entitlements under the Open Offer. Furthermore, as each Qualifying Shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for the Offer Shares at the same Subscription Price in proportion to his/ her/ its shareholding held on the Record Date, the Directors consider that it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders to set the Subscription Price at a level with a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares so as to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer.

Historical trading prices

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have reviewed the movements in closing price of the Shares for the period commencing from 25 April 2015, being the 12 month period prior to the Last Trading Day, and up to the Latest Practicable date (the “ Review Period ”).

The chart below shows the daily closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period and the Subscription Price.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the above chart, the Shares were traded above the Subscription Price throughout the Review Period with an average of approximately HK$0.64 and we note that the closing price of the Shares represents a gradual downward trend during the Review Period due to the recent volatility and market downturn of the Hong Kong stock market. The highest closing price and lowest closing price were HK$1.20 per Share on 8 June 2015 and HK$0.36 per Share on 20 June 2016, respectively. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 75.00%, 16.67% and 53.13% to the highest, lowest and average closing price of the Shares of the Review Period respectively.

Taking into consideration that (i) the Subscription Price was set at a significant discount to the recent closing price of the Shares with the aim to encourage the existing Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer on a pro rata basis; (ii) it is a common market practice that the subscription price of an open offer normally represented a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares as discussed in the paragraph “Comparable analysis” below; (iii) the thin trading volume of the Shares as discussed in the paragraph “Historical trading volume” below; and (iv) the Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter, we are of the opinion that the Subscription Price being set below the prevailing market prices of the Shares are in line with the market practice and is fair and reasonable.

Historical trading volume

We have also reviewed the historical trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period. The average daily trading volume of the Shares, the percentages of daily trading volume of the Shares as compared to the total number of issued Shares and the total number of issued Shares held by the public during the Review Period are shown in below table.

Note:

  1. Calculated based on 718,519,047 Shares in issue as at the date of the Underwriting Agreement.

  2. Calculated based on 541,170,047 Shares in issue held by public shareholders as at the date of the Underwriting Agreement.

  3. Represents the trading volume for the period from 25 April 2015 to 30 April 2015.

  4. The Shares were suspended from trading during 26 April 2016 to 16 May 2016. The data of April 2016 represents the trading volume for the period from 1 April 2016 to 25 April 2016 (i.e. the date of the Underwriting Agreement) and the data of May 2016 represents the trading volume for the period from 17 May 2016 to 31 May 2016.

  5. The data of July 2016 represents the trading volume for the period from 4 July 2016 to the Latest Practicable Date.

The above table demonstrates that during the Review Period, the percentage of the average daily trading volume of the Shares were in the range of approximately 0.004% to 0.317% as to the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Underwriting Agreement and approximately 0.006% to 0.421% as to the total number of issued Shares held in public hands as at the date of the Underwriting Agreement. The above statistics revealed that trading in the Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period and the Shares were generally illiquid in the open market. As such, we consider it would be difficult to attract the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer if the Subscription Price was not set as a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares.

Having considered the thin liquidity of the Shares which illustrated in the above table, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is fair and reasonable and interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders to set the Subscription Price below the prevailing market price of the Shares so as to encourage the existing Qualifying Shareholders to take up their entitlements under the Open Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Comparable analysis

To further evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the Open Offer, we also considered a broad comparison of open offers conducted by other companies listed on the Main Board and the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange. Based on the information available from the Stock Exchange’s website, we have reviewed, so far as we are aware of, all the open offers announced by the companies listed on the Main Board or Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange, save for the open offers announced by the companies which have been suspended in trading for more than 3 months preceding the dates of the respective announcements in relation to the open offer transactions (the “ Comparables ”) during the period from 25 October 2015, being six (6) months immediately preceding the Last Trading Day, to the Latest Practicable Date (the “ Comparable Period ”), which is the exhaustive list based on the selection criteria.

Having considered the recent volatility of the Hong Kong stock market and that the Comparable Period is reasonably long enough to (i) reflect the prevailing market conditions and sentiments in the Hong Kong stock market; (ii) include sufficient number of transactions for comparison purposes; and (iii) allow the Independent Shareholders to have a general understanding of the recent open offer transactions being conducted in the Hong Kong stock market, we considered that the Comparable Period is adequate.

Although the principal businesses, size of funds to be raised, share price, financial conditions of the Company and the terms of the Open Offer are not directly comparable to those of the Comparables, however, as the terms of open offers of the Comparables were determined under similar market conditions and sentiments as those when the terms of the Open Offer were determined and reflect the recent trend of the open offer transactions in the market, we are of the opinion that the Comparables are fair and representative samples to serve as a general reference to the recent market practice.

  • (1) Maximum dilution effect of each open offer is calculated as: ((number of offer shares to be issued under the basis of entitlement)/(number of existing shares held for the entitlement for the offer shares under the basis of entitlement + number of offer shares to be issued under the basis of entitlement) x 100%), e.g. for an open offer with basis of one (1) offer share for every two (2) existing shares, the maximum dilution effect is calculated as ((1)/(1+2))*100%) = 33%.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We noted from the above table that 24 out of 26 Comparables had set the subscription price of their open offers at a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares before the relevant announcements in respect of the open offers were made. We consider, therefore, it is a normal market practice for companies to set the subscription price of open offers at a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares so as to encourage the shareholders to participate in the open offers.

As illustrated in the above Table, the subscription price of the Comparables were set in the range from a discount of approximately 80.34% to a premium of approximately 6.28% over their respective closing prices as quoted on the last trading day prior to the date of the relevant open offer announcements. The discount of approximately 49.15% of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day falls within the range of those of the Comparables and it is higher than the average discount of the Comparables of approximately 37.99%.

The subscription prices of the Comparables represent a range from a discount of approximately 60.00% to a premium of approximately 15.38% over their respective theoretical ex-entitlement prices as quoted on the last trading day prior to the date of the relevant open offer announcements. The discount of approximately 38.78% of the Subscription Price to the theoretical exentitlement price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day falls within the range of those of the Comparables and it is higher than the average discount of the Comparables of approximately 24.12%.

Based on the above analysis and the facts that (i) the Shares were traded above the Subscription Price throughout the Review Period and the discount on the Subscription Price to the market price of the Shares may enhance the attractiveness of the Open Offer and encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to take up their entitlements under the Open Offer; (ii) the Group recorded consolidated loss for the two years ended 31 March 2016; (iii) the liquidity in trading of the Shares was relatively low during the Review Period; (iv) it is common for the listed companies in Hong Kong to set the subscription price of open offers at a discount to the market price in order to enhance the attractiveness of the open offer transactions; (v) the discounts of the Subscription Price to the closing price on the Last Trading Day and to the theoretical ex-entitlement price fall within the range of the Comparables; and (vi) the interest of the Qualifying Shareholders will not be prejudiced by the discount of the Subscription Price as long as they are offered with an equal

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

opportunity to participate in the Open Offer and subscribe for the Offer Shares, we consider that the discount on the Subscription Price may encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer and is justifiable and the Subscription Price is on normal commercial term and is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(b) No application for excess Offer Shares

There is no arrangement for application of the Offer Shares by Qualifying Shareholders in excess of their proportionate assured allotments under the Open Offer. As advised by the management of the Company, if application for excess Offer Shares is arranged, the Company will be required to put in additional effort and costs to administer the excess application procedures, including preparing and arranging the excess application forms, reviewing the relevant documents, liaising with professional parties and printing of application forms, etc.

Considering that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal and fair opportunity to participate in the Company’s potential future development by subscribing for his entitlements under the Open Offer and maintaining their respective pro rata shareholding interests in the Company, the Directors is of the view that the administrative costs would be lowered without excess application.

The absence of the excess application arrangement may not be desirable from the point of view of those Qualifying Shareholders who wish to take up additional Offer Shares in excess of their assured entitlements. However, the aforesaid should be balanced against the facts that (i) the Subscription Price is set at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares which provides reasonable incentives to all the Qualifying Shareholders who are positive about the future development of the Company to take up their respective assured entitlement of the Offer Shares and participate in the Open Offer; (ii) all the Qualifying Shareholders have the first right to decide whether to accept the Open Offer; (iii) the absence of excess application would avoid additional effort and costs to administer the excess application procedures; (iv) the absence of excess application arrangement for the Offer Shares is subject to approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM; and (v) the absence of excess application is in line with the general market practice given that 17 out of 26 Comparables had no excess application arrangement, representing 65% of the Comparables. Having considered the above, we are of the opinion

— 58 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

and concur with the Directors that the absence of excess application under the Open Offer is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(c) Underwriting Arrangement

(i) The Underwriter and underwriting commission

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Offer Shares (other than those which have been irrevocably undertaken to be subscribed by the Underwriter and Ms. Bai) not validly applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders will be taken up by the Underwriter. Accordingly, the Open Offer is fully underwritten. The Company is not required to pay the Underwriter any underwriting commission.

We have discussed and understood from the Company that, apart from the Underwriter, they have approached certain independent securities firms for acting as underwriter under the Open Offer. However, the Underwriter is the one who is optimistic about the prospect of Group and is willing to underwrite the Underwritten Shares. Furthermore, no underwriting commission is payable by the Company to the Underwriter which is in favor of the Company.

We noted from the Comparables above that an underwriting commission was normally charged by the respective underwriters in the open offer exercises and the underwriting commission in general ranged from 1.0% to 5.0% on the gross funds raised. In light of the fact that the Group can save the cost for paying the underwriting commission and reduce the overall expenses incurred in the Open Offer, we consider nil underwriting commission is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

(ii) Termination of the Underwriting Agreement

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, it should be noted that the Open Offer would not proceed if the Underwriter exercises its termination rights under the Underwriting Agreement, details of the provisions granting the Underwriter such termination rights are included in the section headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” in the Letter from the Board. We have

— 59 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

reviewed the announcements of the Comparables and consider such provisions are on normal commercial terms and in line with the market practice.

Having considered that (i) each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal and fair opportunity to participate in the Open Offer; (ii) the underwriting arrangement can ensure the Company to achieve the targeted funding from the Open Offer; (iii) nil underwriting commission under the Underwriting Agreement; (iv) the termination rights of the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement are on normal commercial terms and in line with the market practice; and (v) the Open Offer is subject to the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional while the Underwriting Agreement is conditional upon, among others, the approval of the absence of excess application arrangement under the Open Offer and the Whitewash Waiver by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, we consider that the underwriting arrangement is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders.

(d) Risk associated with the Open Offer

Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Open Offer is conditional upon, amongst other things, the fulfillment of the conditions set out under the section headed “Conditions precedent” in the Letter from the Board. In particular, the Open Offer is subject to the Underwriting Agreement becoming unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof as set out in the paragraph headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” in the Letter from the Board. Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they in any doubt about their positions, they should consult their own professional advisers.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

IV. Possible financial effects of the Open Offer

(a) Net tangible assets

According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group set out in Appendix II to this Circular, the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 31 March 2016 amounted to approximately HK$117.5 million. The estimated minimum net proceeds from the Open Offer will be approximately HK$104.8 million. As a result, the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company would be approximately HK$222.3 million immediately after the completion of the Open Offer.

(b) Working capital

According to the 2016 Results Announcement, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$103.0 million as at 31 March 2016. Immediately upon completion of the Open Offer, the cash and bank balances of the Group will increase by an amount equivalent to the estimated net proceeds of the Open Offer of approximately HK$104.8 million to HK$108.6 million. We are of the view that the working capital position of the Group will be strengthened.

(c) Gearing position

According to the 2016 Results Announcement, the gearing ratio of the Group as at 31 March 2016 was approximately 249.8% (calculated based on the total liabilities over Shareholders’ equity). Immediately upon completion of the Open Offer, the capital base would be enlarged whilst the borrowings of the Group are not expected to change as a result of the Open Offer and thus, the gearing ratio of the Group is expected to improve.

It should be noted that the abovementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Company will be upon completion of the Open Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

V. Potential dilution to the shareholding of the public Shareholders

All the Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Offer Shares on the same basis. As illustrated in the section headed “Shareholding structure of the Company” set out in the Letter from the Board, we note that the shareholding interests of the Qualifying Shareholders who elect to take up their respective entitlements under the Open Offer will remain unchanged upon the completion of the Open Offer, however, the shareholding interests of the Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their respective entitlement under the Open Offer will be diluted upon the completion of the Open Offer up to a maximum of 33%.

Taken into consideration that (i) the Open Offer is on the basis that all Qualifying Shareholders have been offered equal opportunity to maintain their proportional shareholding and participate in the capital base enlargement of the Company; (ii) the inherent dilutive nature is general for all cases of open offers if the existing Shareholders do not subscribe for in full their assured entitlements; (iii) the Open Offer is considered to be more preferable than other financing alternatives above; and (iv) the positive financial effect as a result of the Open Offer as detailed in the section “Possible financial effects of the Open Offer” above, we are of the opinion that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding for the Qualifying Shareholders who decide not to accept the Open Offer is justifiable.

VI. The Whitewash Waiver

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Underwriter is an executive Director, the chairman of the Company and a substantial Shareholder beneficially interested in (i) 89,300,000 Shares, representing approximately 12.43% of the issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) Options to subscribe for 5,987,670 Shares. Ms. Bai is the spouse of the Underwriter beneficially interested in 49,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.01% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Each of the Underwriter and Ms. Bai has undertaken in the Underwriting Agreement (i) not to dispose of the Shares and Options beneficially held by them prior to the close of the Open Offer; (ii) (in respect of the Underwriter only) not to exercise the Options granted to him prior to the close of the Open Offer; and (iii) to accept all Offer Shares allotted to them (in their capacities as a Shareholders) on an assured allotment basis.

— 62 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In the event that the Underwriter is called upon to subscribe for the Underwritten Shares in full pursuant to its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the interests of the Underwriter and the parties acting in concert with him in the Company will increase from approximately 12.44% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 41.62% (assuming no other Shares are allotted or issued on or before the Record Date). Accordingly, in the absence of the Whitewash Waiver, the underwriting by the Underwriter of the Open Offer will trigger an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Underwriter and persons acting in concert with him. The Underwriter will make an application for the Whitewash Waiver to the Executive pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the Whitewash Waiver will be conditional on, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Open Offer is conditional upon, among other things, the Executive granting the Whitewash Waiver to the Underwriter. Based on our analysis of the terms of the Open Offer as set out above, we consider that the terms of the Open Offer and the absence of excess application arrangement are fair and reasonable and the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Open Offer will not proceed.

In light of (i) the reasons for and the possible benefits of the Open Offer to the Company as set forth in the section headed “Reasons for the Open Offer and use of proceeds” of this letter; (ii) the terms of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement being fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (iii) the abovementioned positive financial impacts on the Group as a result of the Open Offer; and (iv) all Qualifying Shareholders will be provided with an equal opportunity to take up their Offer Shares in accordance with their entitlement under the Open Offer and their respective interests in the Company will not be diluted if they elect to take up their entitlement in full under the Open Offer, we are of the opinion that, for the purposes of implementing the Open Offer as discussed above, the Whitewash Waiver is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

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.

Notes:

  • (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 Asset Valuation and Consulting Limited (“ 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. 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.

  • (c) On 5 August 2015, the Group completed the acquisition of 51% equity interest of Suzhou Great Research & Industrialization Co., Ltd.(蘇州格瑞特環保科技產業發展有限公 司) (“ Great Research ”) and its subsidiaries (the “ Great Group ”) at an aggregated consideration of RMB31,435,514 (equivalent to HK$39,303,823). 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. Discount rate of 17.6% per annum is used in the calculation which was provided by Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited (“ Vigers* ”) for the year ended 31 March 2016. 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 as certain potential projects were suspended due to expiration and are pending for re-negotiation and financing. As a result, as at 31 March 2016, the directors expect the future profit generated by the Great Group will be minimal.

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

Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle, 2011-2013 Cycle and 2012-2014 Cycle

The amendments issued under the annual improvements process make small, nonurgent changes to a number of standards where they are currently unclear. They include amendments to HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment to clarify how the gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model. The carrying amount of the asset is restated to revalued amount. The accumulated depreciation may be eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. Alternatively, the gross carrying amount may be adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset and the accumulated depreciation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after taking into account accumulated impairment losses.

Amendments to HKAS 1 – Disclosure Initiative

The amendments to HKAS 1 are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining what information to disclose in their financial statements. For example, the amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial disclosures. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that companies should use professional judgement in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures.

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.

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”).

— 106 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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.

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 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.

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of these pronouncements and the Directors so far concluded that they are not yet in a position to quantify the effects of application of other new/revised HKFRSs on the Group’s financial statements.

(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 its financial year ending on 31 March 2016. The Directors consider that there will be 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 HKFRS, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and the disclosure requirements of Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. In addition, the financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain properties, convertible loan notes 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.

— 108 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

(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 venture. 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.

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 and the entire carrying amount of the investment is subject to impairment test, by comparing the carrying amount with its recoverable amount, which is higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell.

(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 acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed exceed the fair value of consideration paid, the excess, which is the gain on a bargain purchase, is recognised in profit or loss on the acquisition date, after reassessment.

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 to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired.

— 110 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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, other than hotel property, 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.

The hotel property and other items of 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.

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:

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

— 111 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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 arising from 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 settlement and 8 years
collection services
Provision of intellectual property enforcement services 11 years
Golf club memberships 12 years, indefinite
Customer relationship and customer contracts 10 years

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

(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. 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(r)).

(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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

(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 PRC. These payments are stated at cost and are amortised over the period of the lease on a straightline basis as an expense.

(i) Deferred expenditure

Deferred expenditure represents non-refundable payments to copyright holders for their share of operating profits from the co-operation business to collect licence fees from karaoke operators in PRC. The deferred expenditure is initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, deferred expenditure is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for deferred expenditure is provided on a straight-line basis over the co-operation period.

(j) 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.

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.

(k) 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 fair value through profit or loss 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.

— 113 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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

  • 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.

— 114 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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.

(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.

— 115 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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

(l) 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.

(m) 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.

Hotel room revenue is recognised when hotel rooms are occupied.

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.

(n) 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.

— 116 —

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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.

(o) 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.

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

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

of group entities’ separate or individual financial statements on the translation of longterm 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.

(p) 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.

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 employees of the Group’s subsidiaries that operate in 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.

(q) 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.

(r) 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;

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

  • investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except for those classified as held for sale;

  • deferred expenditure; and

  • film rights and film in progress.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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.

(s) 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 will probably 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.

(t) Related parties

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

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

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

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

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

  • (a) 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);

  • (b) 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);

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

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

APPENDIx I

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

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

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

(u) Capitalisation of 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.

(v) 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.

(w) Films in progress

Films in progress are stated at cost less any provision for impairment losses. Costs include all direct costs associated with the production of films. Provision are made for costs which are in excess of the expected future revenue generated by these films. Costs of films are transferred to film rights upon completion.

At the end of each reporting period, both internal and external market information is considered to assess whether there is any indication that film rights and films in progress are impaired. If any such indication exists, the carrying amount of such assets is assessed and where relevant, an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset to its recoverable amount. Such impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

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.

(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 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.

(f) Impairment loss on deferred expenditure

The carrying amounts of deferred expenditure are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. The Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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 China Audio-Video Copyright Association to provide intellectual property enforcement services. Discount rate of 15.5% (2014: 17%) per annum is used in the calculation which was provided by APAC. 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 22(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 PRC and the industry would experience no growth in future.

For the year ended 31 March 2014, no impairment was provided on goodwill from the provision of intellectual property enforcement services as the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of the CGU.

  • (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, PRC. The estimated recoverable amount was 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% (2014: 5%) revenue growth rate per annum. Discount rate of 10% (2014: 11%) per annum was used in the calculation which was provided by APAC 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 (2014: nil), it was mainly due to keen competition in property market and adverse economic environment in PRC, and significant investments in renovation of leasehold improvements for sustaining the growth in future.

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

  • (a) Provision of copyright licence fees settlement and collection services represents the exclusive right in respect of the karaoke copyright in PRC managed and administered by the China Audio-Video Copyright Association for a period of 10 years from 27 December 2007. During the year ended 31 March 2015, intangible asset in relation to provision of copyright licence fees settlement and collection services was disposed through disposal of subsidiaries (see note 40).

  • (b) The recoverable amount of the CGU of provision of intellectual property enforcement services to which the intellectual property enforcement services right is allocated has been determined by the value-in-use calculation, the details of which are disclosed in note 21(a). As at 31 March 2015, impairment loss of HK$68,494,242 was recognised due to the reason as described in note 21(a). As at 31 March 2014, management of the Group determined that there was no impairment as the recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount.

  • (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. During the year ended 31 March 2015 and 2014, no impairment loss was recognised since the recoverable amount of the golf club memberships exceeded its carrying amount.

  • (d) Customer relationship and customer contracts represent the long established relationship China Resources Advertising & Exhibition Company Limited, the Company’s subsidiary, and its subsidiaries (the “CRA Group”), which acts as an organiser and contractor for all kinds of exhibition events and meeting events mainly in Hong Kong, with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (“HKTDC”) and various sub-councils of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in PRC for large-scale trade fairs, which are mostly organised by HKTDC. The CRA Group has been consistently appointed by HKTDC as the sole agent of China Pavilion for the Hong Kong Fashion Week.

For the year ended 31 March 2015, the estimated recoverable amounts of the above CGU were zero and determined based on the value-in-use approach. These calculations use pretax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a six-year period with reference to the remaining useful life of customer relationship and customer contracts. Discount rate of 15% (2014: 16%) is used in the calculation which was provided by APAC. 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, impairment loss of HK$19,864,005 (2014: nil) was recognised in respect of the customer relationship and customer contracts as the Directors consider the clients of the CRA Group are primarily 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 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.

39. 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.

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 2010 Share Options and 2013 Share Options was calculated using Binominal Option Pricing Model. The inputs into the model are as follows:

2013 2010
Share Options Share Options
Grant date 23 December 2013 29 July 2010
Grant date share price HK$0.55 per share HK$4.98 per share
Exercise price HK$0.57 per share HK$5.24 per share
Expected life 10 years 10 years
Expected volatility 80% 83%
Expected dividend yield Nil Nil
Risk-free interest rate 2.26% 2.32%

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.

No option was granted, exercised and lapsed during the year ended 31 March 2015.

The Group recognised an expense of HK$9,376,692 in respect of the options granted which was included in staff costs for the year ended 31 March 2014.

During the year ended 31 March 2014, options for 1,750,000 shares had been forfeited. The value of the lapsed options of HK$5,698,000 was released directly to accumulated losses.

46. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group is also exposed to equity price risk arising from its equity investment in other entities.

Policy for managing these risks is set by the Board following recommendations from the Chief Financial Officer. Certain risks are managed centrally, while others are managed locally following guidelines communicated from the management. The policy for each of the above risks is described in more detail below.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparties will default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group exposes to credit risk from loans and receivables. The Group has adopted a credit policy to monitor and mitigate credit risk arising from trade debtors. Credit limit is regularly reviewed and approved by head of credit control. The Group assesses credit risk based on customers’ past due records, trading history, financial conditions or credit ratings. The Group and the Company is not exposed to concentration of credit risk. Please refer to note 29 for further analysis of credit risk associated with trade and other receivables.

The credit risk on bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Group’s objective is to ensure there are adequate funds to meet commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Cash flows of the Group are closely monitored by senior management on an ongoing basis.

The contractual maturities of financial liabilities are shown as below:

(c) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances and variable-rate bank loans.

The Group is also exposed to fair value interest rate risk which relates primarily to its fixed-rate loan receivables, pledged bank deposits, bank borrowings, other borrowings and amounts due to non-controlling shareholders. The Group currently does not use any derivative contracts to hedge the interest rate risk. However, management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table indicates the approximate change in the results after tax in response to reasonably possible changes in interest rate to which the Group has significant exposure at the end of reporting period. In determining the effect on results after tax on the next accounting period until next end of reporting period, management of the Company assumes that the change in interest rate had occurred at the end of reporting period and all other variables remain constant. There is no change in the methods and assumptions used in 2015 and 2014.

(d) Currency risk

The Group mainly operates in Hong Kong and PRC with most of the transactions settled in their respective functional currencies in which the group entities operate. Therefore the Group does not have significant exposure to risk resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

(e)

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price changes arising from equity instruments classified as available-for-sale equity securities. They are listed on the Stock Exchange and have been chosen based on their longer term growth potential and are monitored regularly for performance against expectations.

Sensitivity analysis

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% (2014: 50%) higher/lower, the other component of equity would increase/decrease by HK$10,634,105 (2014: HK$52,448,966).

  • (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 2 fair value measurements

Convertible loan notes

Convertible loan notes are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Fair value of the convertible loan notes are based on the closing price of the shares of underlying stock price as at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of convertible loan notes is considered to be divided into two components, namely 1) share value; 2) early redemption option of the Company and has been determined by a firm of professional valuer, APAC, using valuation technique.

The share value is equal to underlying stock price multiplied by the convertible number of shares. Binomial option pricing model is used for valuation of the early redemption option. Significant input into the model was underlying stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate, life of the options and expected ordinary dividend yield.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIx I

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

Contingent consideration related to acquisition of subsidiaries

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
interests RMB2,865,000
Expected 2016 net profits after taxation and non-controlling
interests RMB6,596,000
Expected 2017 net profits after taxation and non-controlling
interests RMB9,847,000
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.

48. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 8 June 2015, Shenzhen Wendi Multimedia Technology Company Limited(深圳市文地多媒 體技術有限公司)(“Shenzhen Wendi”), an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Guangwei Technology Group Limited(廣 微科技集團有公司)(“Guangwei”), pursuant to which Shenzhen Wendi conditionally agreed to purchase and Guangwei conditionally agreed to sell the 9.5% of the subscribed capital contribution of Chongqing Lianshun Heqi Venture Investment Fund Partnership*(重慶聯順合氣 創業投資基金合伙企業)at a consideration equivalent to HK$32,000,000 in Renminbi.

LITIGATION

As set out in the announcements of the Company dated 23 May 2016 and 2 June 2016, the Group initiated legal proceedings against China Music Video Collective Management Association(中國音像著作權集體管理協會) (“ MVCM Association* ”) in the PRC court claiming for:

  • (a) the payment of (i) outstanding operating fees of approximately RMB34,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$40,800,000) by MVCM Association to China Music Video Broadcast (Shenzhen) Company Limited(中音傳播(深圳)有限公司) (“ China Music ”) and Song Labs Co, Ltd(北京天語同聲信息技術有限公司)(“ Song Labs ”), both subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to (1) a copyright co-operation agreement dated 8 May 2006 entered into between China Music and MVCM Association; (2) a copyright business operation co-operation agreement dated 8 May 2006 entered into between China Music, Song Labs and the MVCM Association; and (3) any supplemental agreements entered into thereafter (documents (1) to (3) are herein referred to as the “ Copyright Co-operation Agreements ”), which represents the outstanding operating fees up to the second quarter of 2015 (the “ Outstanding Operating Fees ”); and (ii) the default interest of approximately RMB2,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,400,000), if calculated up to 31 May 2016;

  • (b) a declaration that the unilateral termination of one of the Copyright Co-operation Agreements by MVCM Association was invalid and that MVCM Association should continue to perform its obligations under the Copyright Co-operation Agreements; and

  • (c) the costs of the above litigation to be borne by MVCM Association.

On 1 June 2016, the PRC court notified China Music and Song Labs that the application for the above litigation has been accepted. The litigation fee required to be paid to the court in the amount of approximately RMB220,000 was paid by the Group in June 2016. The court has commenced the necessary procedures for the litigation. The litigation is on a preliminary stage and therefore the Company is not in a position to predict the timing and the results thereof.

The amount of claim in relation to the operating fees includes HK$5,268,952, HK$22,661,542 and HK$9,809,448 generated from each of the three years ended 31 March 2016 respectively, representing approximately 2.3%, 16.0% and 8.8% of the total revenue for the respective years. The Directors are of the view that the non-recovery of the outstanding amount of the operating fees would have certain negative impact on the

APPENDIx III

GENERAL INFORMATION

Group’s licence fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement service business. As it is uncertain as to whether the Group could fully recover the outstanding operating fee from MVCM Association under the above litigation, the Company recognised an impairment loss of trade receivables of approximately RMB30.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$37.7 million) for the financial year ended 31 March 2016. In the event that the Group fails to recover the amount, there would be negative impact on the Group’s financial position. However, taking into account the Group’s financial position and scale of operation, the Directors considers the adverse effects on the Group is not substantial.

The Group’s existing cooperation contracts with MVCM Association will only expire in 2022, and as advised by the Directors, there is no fixed contracted amount under the existing cooperative contracts with MVCM Association. The Group will continue its business relationship with MVCM Association unless there is any material development under the litigation proceedings. As these contracts will only expire in 2022 and there is no fixed contracted amount under them, according to the Directors and taking into account the uncertainty relating to the timing and results of the litigation, it may affect the interests of the Company in the license fee collection and provision of intellectual property enforcement service business.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as set out above, no member of the Group was engaged in any litigation or arbitration or claim of material importance and no litigation, arbitration or claim of material importance was known to the Directors to be pending or threatened by or against any member of the Group.
