CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Given the Convertible Bonds will only be issued if and when pre-determined performance targets are met and that there is (i) no immediate dilution effect upon issuance of the Convertible Bonds; and (ii) a non-disposal undertaking arrangement with the Vendor. Based on these, the Directors are of the view that the potential dilution effect upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

BASIS OF THE CONSIDERATION

The consideration for the Sale Shares was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Vendor with reference to the following principal factors:

  • the potential business synergies that may bring about by the Acquisition in respect of the application of the Group’s two dimensional (“ 2D ”) barcode technology;

  • the growing recognition of the prepaid cards issued by the Target Group since its trial operation in August 2008 in terms of the number of cards issued, monetary amounts issued, aggregate transaction amounts executed and the number of point of sale and contracted merchants accepting the prepaid cards;

  • the maximum consideration of HK$650,000,000 in Adjusted Consideration Scenario 3 equals to an effective 2011 forward price-earnings multiple of approximately 15.94 times;

  • the maximum consideration of HK$850,000,000 in Adjusted Consideration Scenario 4 equals to an effective 2012 forward price-earnings multiple of approximately 10.42 times to a cap of approximately 15.94 times;

  • the maximum consideration of HK$850,000,000 and a price-earnings multiple of 12 times in Adjusted Consideration Scenario 5 equals to an effective average 2011 and 2012 earnings of not less than approximately RMB60,800,000;

  • the contingent nature of the settlement consideration which positively linked to the future success of the Target Group’s operation and profitability; and

  • the future prospects of the electronic payment industry in the PRC.

In determining the range of effective forward price-earnings multiples, the Directors have considered:

  • the Target Group’s business operation is in a high growth stage;

  • the growing recognition of the prepaid cards issued by the Target Group since its trial operation in August 2008 (as evidenced by its improving operational statistics and increasing number of contracted merchants accepting the prepaid cards issued by the Target Group as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Prepaid card operation” under the section headed “Information of the Target Group” of this circular); and

Despite the Target Group currently is still not profitable and has reported an audited consolidated net liabilities of approximately RMB3.15 million as at 30 September 2010 (or an unaudited adjusted consolidated net assets of approximately RMB1.68 million after taking into account the capitalization of HK$5.61 million (equivalent to approximately RMB4.83 million) shareholders’ loan from the Vendor subsequent to 30 September 2010), after due consideration of the above principal factors, the Directors considered that the Target Group has built a viable third party payment operation in the PRC with growing recognition and the Acquisition is a fast track for the Group’s 2D barcode technology to penetrate into the PRC third party payment industry (for further details, please refer to the section headed “Financial and Trading Prospects of the Enlarged Group” of this circular). Hence, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors)

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

consider that the Acquisition was entered into under normal commercial terms and the total maximum consideration of HK$850 million for the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the design, research, development, manufacturing and sale of optical image capturing devices and related barcode reader equipment, and is gradually transforming into 2D barcode reader and laser spectrum identification device provider and laser system equipment provider. 2D barcode is a way to encode information, just like conventional barcodes, but 2D barcode can encode significantly more information, and with high reliability and strong security.

For the past few years, the Group has devoted substantial research and development efforts in exploring the barcode and laser reader equipment in different fields of business. Examples of some of the successful development of application of 2D barcode technology in the recent years include bank cards, ID card identification devices and food tracking and tracing systems in sourcing and tracking for food and medical products.

The Directors are of the view that the Acquisition represents an excellent opportunity for the Group to deploy its application of self-developed 2D barcode technology to the fast growing electronic payment service industry in the PRC. This is because the Group’s 2D barcode technology can be applied as an effective means of authentication as well as an efficient, reliable and secure means of transmission and recording of transaction data in an electronic payment process.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the Group. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group immediately upon Completion would be approximately HK$329.93 million.

In addition to the existing prepaid cards operated by the Target Group, the Enlarged Group plans to deploy the application of the Group’s self-developed 2D barcode technology into other electronic payment tools via (i) telephone transactions; and (ii) internet transactions to be developed and operated by the Enlarged Group. In addition, the Group plans to promote the use of 2D barcode enhanced electronic payment services for (i) ticketing at popular tourist attractions and cinemas across the PRC; (ii) virtue online stores or via television direct sales; (iii) reservation of medical services at hospitals and clinics; and (iv) paying insurance premium in which orders/bookings requires immediate payments or deposits to be made via telephone or internet. Assuming that the minimum number of the Placing Shares is issued, the Group intends to allocate its net proceeds to be received of approximately HK$111 million for the development of the above plans.

  • 1) Prepaid card holder purchases goods or services from merchant and makes payment via telephone network or internet.

  • 2) The payment details (e.g. prepaid card number, payment authorisation code etc) together with order details (e.g. merchant identity number, type of goods or services, quantity, delivery date and location etc) (together, the “ Transaction Details ”) are processed by the Target Group’s Prepaid Card Operation (as defined in the section headed “Prepaid card operation” below) platform via telephone network or internet and then passed to the Group’s 2D barcode operation platform.

  • 3) The Group encodes the Transaction Details into 2D barcode and sends the 2D barcode to the prepaid card holder via telephone network/internet.

  • 4) The Group downloads the Transaction Details to the merchant’s POS device and the merchant simultaneously.

  • 5) Prepaid card holder presents the encoded 2D barcode to the merchant’s POS device for decoding. Upon successful authentication, the prepaid card holder receives goods or services.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors believe that the Group’s self-developed 2D barcode technology can serve as a comparative advantage in the electronic payment process over other third party payment services providers as:

  1. It records and transmits purchase orders and payment instruction securely and efficiently by using 2D barcodes.

  2. It protects consumers that their payments will only be released by the third party payment service provider (in our case, the Target Group) when goods are delivered or services are rendered.

  3. It protects the merchants by ensuring that consumers has the necessary funding or credit before goods are delivered and services are rendered.

  4. It facilitates the inventory planning and estimates the risks of bad debts for the merchants and reduces the payment collection time.

  5. It reduces the inconvenience of issuing paper receipt for merchants and carrying paper receipts for consumers.

Besides, the Enlarged Group will further expand the operation and sales network of its electronic payment services across the PRC, aiming to build up a consolidated multi-channel payment platform in the PRC.

The Directors consider that the implementation of the above plans will enhance the revenue streams of the Enlarged Group and strengthen the application of the Group’s 2D barcode technology and integrate such technology into the electronic payment tools of the Target Group.

Taking into account that the Group’s existing financial resources and the minimum net proceeds to be received under the Placing of approximately HK$111 million, the Directors consider that the Group has sufficient financial resources to satisfy the funding requirement of the Enlarged Group.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP

It should be noted that the following estimations are for illustration purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Enlarged Group will be upon Completion.

Earnings

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its results will be consolidated with that of the Group. In light of prospect of prepaid card industry in the PRC, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition would widen the earnings base of the Enlarged Group.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

1. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Overview of prepaid card business in the PRC

Prepaid cards in the PRC generally can be categorized into (i) “closed-loop”; and (ii) “open-loop” prepaid cards. Closed-loop prepaid cards are sold by merchants and are used exclusively for consumption at their own business establishments, while open-loop prepaid cards are issued by third party (either financial institution issuers or non-financial institution issuers such as the Target Group) and are used in the accepting merchants.

According to PBOC, as at 31 December 2009, there were 243 non-financial institutions that carrying on third party payment services and/or providing any money transfer services. In addition, as at the end of 2009, there were approximately 1.75 billion prepaid card transactions with a value of approximately RMB1,092.5 billion and a loaded value of approximately RMB39.7 billion.

According to the data from the China Statistical Yearbook for the year 2009, the compound annual growth rate of the GDP, per capital GDP and final consumption expenditure from year 2006 to year 2008 is approximately 19.11%, 18.50% and 16.12% respectively. It is reasonably to deduce that consumption growth rate is positively correlated to the GDP growth rate. In such ways, the prepaid cards or any other future payment tools to be developed are used for settlement of payment for consumption and companies engaging in the electronic payment business in the PRC are expected to benefit from such consumption growth.

In November 2008, the PRC government announced an estimated RMB4 trillion stimulus package, for boosting China’s overall economy, in the midst of the global financial crisis. In particular, the PRC government has implemented a series of coupon schemes in different provinces to boost local consumption and revive sluggish spending at the attractive tourist sites in the PRC. China has the largest population in the world with nearly 20% of the world’s population, the overall size of the market, along with the advancement of the online payment systems and information technology within the country, are some of the key factors attributing to the explosive growth of the PRC economy as well as the prepaid card markets over the last decade. In recent years, PBOC has been playing a leading role in the supervision of the prepaid card industry and the tightening of the prepaid card regulations will in turn increase entry barriers for smaller and newer competitors.

Prospects and future developments

Prepaid cards are emerging as potentially powerful tools for consumers to engage in a variety of financial transactions with greater convenience, however, most of the prepaid cards offer relatively limited functionality. Innovations in providing prepaid solutions to identify and serve the needs in developing markets bring lots of opportunities in the prepaid card business in the PRC. After years of development, China’s prepaid card industry has built up a solid foundation for its future development. Economic growth and

– 36 –

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

rising per capita income are fundamental factors to support the strong growth in the prepaid card industry in the years to come. Changing of the life style and spending structure of people in the PRC, along with the increasing popularity of the online payments and the use of prepaid cards to settle regular payments such as utility and phone bills, presenting a potential strong demand for prepaid card transactions together with the growth of merchant acceptance in the PRC. The prepaid card industry is expected to evolve very rapidly with the advancement of the technology to improve functionality for the holders of prepaid card. It is expected that more lifestyle prepaid cards will be issued with the cooperation of financial institution issuers and other large corporations in the near future. Development of other means of payment channels and a more comprehensive functionality of the prepaid cards are also expected so as to facilitate the use of the prepaid cards and other means of electronic payment in the PRC. In addition, there is a great potential for prepaid cards to be transformed into powerful alternatives to traditional bank accounts for provision of a platform for the cardholders for savings, building credits and financings, in which the prepaid cards may be transformed into multi-function prepaid cards to meet the current underserved markets in the future.

However, PBOC has been playing a leading role in the supervision of the prepaid card industry in the PRC with the tightening and implementation of a series of regulations on the prepaid card business operations in recent years. In the event that there is further introduction of stringent compliance standards, or the implementation of any new laws or regulations in the future, the Target Group’s results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. The uncertainty of the imposition of the PRC’s governmental regulations posed as one of the key challenges ahead in the third party payment services provider (including the prepaid card business) in the PRC.

Entry barriers

Extensive capital and/or time are required for merchant network development

Level of acceptance of the prepaid cards by merchants is one of the key elements for success in the prepaid card business in the PRC, and this requires a long time, substantial cost and good business network to establish.

Sourcing for a electronic data processing and clearing service provider and POS device suppliers

The services to be provided by the electronic data processing and clearing service provider involves frequent and substantial amount of money transfer between merchants and prepaid card issuers; whereas the POS device suppliers shall provide detailed and accurate transaction data (including the sales of prepaid cards and transaction amounts of prepaid cards), which is highly confidential in nature, to merchants and prepaid card issuers for clearing and settlement. Thus, each of electronic data processing and clearing service provider and POS device suppliers will impose stringent requirement and go through detailed screening procedures on each third party payment service provider before electronic data processing and clearing service provider such as China Unionpay Entities will agree to provide such services to them.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

2. REGULATORY OVERVIEW

In May 2010, the PBOC promulgated the Administrative Method of Payment Services for Non-Financial Institutions (the “ Administrative Method ”) which took effect from 1 September 2010 (the “ Effective Date ”). The Administrative Method aims to regulate those non-financial institutions carrying on fund transfer services such as (i) network payment; (ii) issuing for profits prepaid cards for goods or services consumption from merchants other than the card issuer; (iii) collection of funds for bank cards at point of sales of contracted merchants; and (iv) such other alternate payment services as confirmed by PBOC.

In addition, according to the Administrative Method, the business scope, the qualification of offshore investor and investment proportion in relation to foreign invested payment institutions shall be determined by PBOC separately and are subject to the approval from the State Council (國務院).

The Company has been advised by its PRC legal counsel, King & Wood, that (i) as of the Latest Practicable Date, PBOC has not yet determined the administrative measures applicable to foreign invested payment institutions. The Administrative Method currently does not restrict the continued operation of foreign invested payment institutions which have already been carrying on payment services prior to the Effective Date. The administrative measures for foreign invested payment institutions shall apply to members of the Target Group currently carrying on payment services which are either foreign direct investment companies or indirect investment companies; (ii) currently there is no regulation in regional level governing the prepaid card business applicable to foreign invested payment institutions in the PRC; and, (iii) the Company would be lawful to operate the Target Group’s business after the Acquisition under the existing rules and regulations in the PRC. Once PBOC has promulgated the relevant administrative measures applicable to foreign invested payment institutions, the Target Group shall apply for the Certificate for Approval for Payment Business accordingly.

PBOC has not yet determined the business scope, the qualification of offshore investor and investment proportion in relation to foreign invested payment institutions. While the Target Group remains hopeful, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not in a position to confirm in any degree of certainty that the Target Group will be successful in obtaining the Certificate for Approval for Payment Business.

3. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREPAID CARD BUSINESS OF THE TARGET GROUP

Investments in new business and country risks

Prior to the Acquisition, the Group is principally engaged in the design, research, development, manufacturing and sale of optical image capturing devices and related barcode reader equipment and has not been involved in the operation of electronic payment tools in the PRC. Therefore, the Group may encounter risks and uncertainties in operating a new business in a new area. In the event that the Group is unable to manage

– 38 –

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

the risks effectively, the Target Group’s business operation and its financial results may be materially and adversely affected.

The Target Group’s revenue from its prepaid card business is subject to seasonal fluctuations

The Target Group experiences seasonal fluctuations in its revenue relating to the prepaid card business in the PRC. It generally records higher sales revenue between December and February mainly due to heavier consumer spending during Christmas and the Lunar New Year holidays.

As a result of these fluctuations, sales and operating results for any particular period will not necessarily be indicative of the Target Group’s results for the full year or future periods. The seasonal nature of the Target Group’s prepaid card acceptance business would also affect the cash flows available to the Target Group.

Reliance on China Unionpay Entities

Currently, China Unionpay Entities are the only electronic data processing and clearing system providers to the Prepaid Card Operation of the Target Group. The cooperation agreements entered into between China Unionpay Entities and the Target Group will be automatically extended pursuant to the provisions of the agreement for a further term of 1 year upon expiry on 19 October 2013. To the Directors’ knowledge and information, the Target Group has maintained good business relationships with China Unionpay Entities who play a significant role in the business operation of the Target Group. However, there is no guarantee that China Unionpay Entities would agree to continue renewing their agreement with the Target Group on a timely basis upon their expiration and that the terms of such renewal may be the same or no less favourable than those of the existing agreements. If any of the agreement cannot be renewed on a timely basis upon expiry or if there is any major alteration in the terms of these agreements, the Target Group’s business operation and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

China Unionpay Entities have nationwide network coverage in the PRC. If China Unionpay Entities cease to be the service providers of the Target Group, the Target Group may not be able to find a comparable substitute as a replacement in a short period of time or at all, and the Target Group’s business and its financial position would be materially and adversely affected.

The Target Group has no security control over the system functions and services provided by China Unionpay Entities. The Target Group’s ability to provide its services, especially the card acceptance services, depends on the continued performance and support of these third-party systems, including their software and equipment, and the connection with and among them. If these systems experience failures or connection defects, and the third party maintaining these systems fails to provide adequate remedial support, it may result in the interruption or unsatisfactory performance of the Target Group’s services.

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

Uncertainties in the regulatory environment

In May 2010, the PBOC promulgated the Administrative Method which took effect from 1 September 2010, aiming to regulate those non-financial institutions carrying on fund transfer services. The Company has been advised by its PRC legal counsel, King & Wood, that as of the Latest Practicable Date, PBOC has not yet determined the administrative measures applicable to foreign invested payment institutions and such administrative method currently does not restrict the continued operation of foreign invested payment institutions which have already been carrying on payment services prior to the Effective Date.

However, there is no assurance that the Target Group will be successful in obtaining such certificates, permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in order to continue its provision of payment services in the PRC. In addition, increasing compliance standards in relation to these permits, licences, approvals and/or certificates or change of interpretation of any existing laws or regulations will make it more restrictive for the Target Group to conduct any part of its business, in which the Target Group’s operation and profitability may be adversely affected.

Historical net liability position

The Target Group incurred a loss of approximately RMB5.99 million for the period from 8 February 2010 to 30 September 2010 and recorded net current liabilities and net liabilities of approximately RMB19.84 million and RMB3.15 million as at 30 September 2010 respectively. There is no guarantee that the Target Group will not incur net current liabilities and net liabilities in the future or that it will always be able to raise the necessary funding to meet its capital commitments. Should the Target Group incur further net current liabilities and net liabilities or be unable to raise sufficient funding for its capital needs, the Target Group’s business operation and financial position may be adversely affected.

Short operating period

In addition, the first operating subsidiary of the Target Group was only established in August 2008, the time of presence in the electronic payment business is relatively short and it is still in the developing stage which their market influences are still limited. There can be no assurance that the Target Group could sustain its successful operational results in the future. If the Target Group fails to grow successfully, the Target Group’s financial results may be materially and adversely affected.

4. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business activities

The Target Company was incorporated on 8 February 2010, it has not carried on any business activities other than establishing Splendid Win to reorganize the seven subsidiaries and two jointly-controlled companies in the PRC to form the existing group structure with effect from 21 July 2010.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

F. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Target Company was incorporated in the BVI on 8 February 2010 with limited liability under the International Business Companies Ordinance of the BVI. The Target Company has not carried out any business since the date of its incorporation other than acting as the holding company of its subsidiaries. The registered office address of the Target Company is Palm Grove House, P.O. Box 438, Road Town, Tortola, the BVI. The address of its principal place of business is Room 2102, Xin Ji Yuan Apartment, No. 180A, Guang An Men Wai Street, Xuan Wu District, Beijing, the PRC.

In the opinion of the director of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010, Mighty Advantage Enterprises Limited (“ Mighty ”), a company incorporated in the BVI, is the ultimate holding company and the ultimate controlling party of the Target Company is Mr. Guan Gui-Sen (“ Mr. Guan ”).

2. GOING CONCERN BASIS

The Target Group incurred a loss of RMB5,508,596 attributable to the shareholder of the Target Company for the period from 8 February 2010 (date of incorporation) to 30 September 2010 (the “ Relevant Period ”) and as at 30 September 2010 the Target Group had net current liabilities and net liabilities of RMB19,837,654 and RMB3,146,637 respectively.

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Target Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the Target Group’s funding plans and the attainment of profitable and positive cash flow operations of the Target Group to meet its future working capital and financial requirements. The director of the Target Company is of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the Financial Information on a going concern basis. Should the Target Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the Financial Information to adjust the value of the Target Group’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets. The effects of these potential adjustments have not been reflected in the Financial Information.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 8 February 2010. For the purpose of preparing the Financial Information, the Target Group has adopted all these new and revised HKFRSs for the Relevant Period, except for those new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the Relevant Period.

The Target Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Target Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

– 62 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the director to exercise its judgements in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgements and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these financial statements, are disclosed in note 5 to the Financial Information.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

(a) Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Target Company and its subsidiaries made up to 30 September 2010. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Target Group has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Target Group has control.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Target Company. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the period between the non-controlling shareholders and the shareholder of the Target Company.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholder of the Target Company and to the non-controlling shareholders even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

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

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

(b) Business combination and goodwill

The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Target Company’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Target Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Target Company.

– 63 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

If the changes in the value of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary were recognised in other comprehensive income (for example, available-for-sale investment), the amount that was recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised on the same basis as would be required if the previously held equity interest were disposed of.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy (q) below. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.

The non-controlling interests in the subsidiary are initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.

(c)

Joint venture

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Target Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over the economic activity when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control (the “ venturers ”).

A jointly controlled entity is a joint venture that involves the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest.

Investment in a jointly controlled entity is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method and is initially recognised at cost. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the jointly controlled entity in an acquisition are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Target Group’s share of the net fair value of the jointly controlled entity’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is tested for impairment together with the investment at the end of each reporting period when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. Any excess of the Target Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss.

The Target Group’s share of a jointly controlled entity’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in consolidated profit or loss, and its share of the post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in the consolidated reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Target Group’s share of losses in a jointly controlled entity equals or exceeds its interest in the jointly controlled entity, including any other unsecured receivables, the Target Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the jointly controlled entity. If the jointly controlled entity subsequently reports profits, the Target Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.

Unrealised profits on transactions between the Target Group and its jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Target Group’s interests in the jointly controlled entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of jointly controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.

(d) Foreign currency translation

  • (i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the

– 64 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

entity operates (the “ functional currency ”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“ RMB ”), which is the Target Company’s presentation currency and the functional currency of the principal operating subsidiaries of the Target Group. The directors consider that choosing RMB as the presentation currency best suits the needs of the shareholders and investors.

  • (ii) Transactions and balances in each entity’s financial statements

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency on initial recognition using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values are determined.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Translation on consolidation

The results and financial position of all the Target Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Target Company’s presentation currency are translated into the Target Company’s presentation currency as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

  • Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates on the transaction dates); and

  • All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in consolidated profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

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

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

– 65 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal useful lives are as follows:

Computer equipment 3–5 years Furniture and fixtures 4–5 years Leasehold improvement Over the remaining life of the lease but not exceeding 3 years Motor vehicles 4 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

(f) Leases

Operating leases

Leases that do not substantially transfer to the Target Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(g) Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Target Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Target Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Target Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

(h) Investments

Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Target Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the held-to-maturity investments are impaired, and is measured as the difference between the

– 66 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

investments’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the investments’ recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investments at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

(i)

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Target Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

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

(j)

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Target Group’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

(k)

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

  • (i) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

  • (ii) Other payables

Other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

  • (iii) Equity instruments

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

– 67 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

(l) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

  • (i) Transaction levies represent service fee charged by the Target Group to contracted merchants at specific rates on the monetary value of consumptions made by cardholder settled using the stored value cards in the merchants’ stores. Transaction levies are recognised as these transactions occur.

  • (ii) Card revenues consist of monthly maintenance fees on expiry unused balances, new card handling charges, net of discount or waivers, and other customer services charges. The monthly maintenance fees are recognised when the fees are deducted from the unused balances at each month end. The new card handling charges are recognised when a card buyer purchases a new card. Other customer services are recognised when the services are rendered.

  • (iii) Commission income is derived from sales of products and gift cards on behalf of the contracted parties. Commission income is recognised when services are rendered.

  • (iv) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(m) Employee benefits

  • (i) Employee leave entitlements

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

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

(ii) Pension obligations

The Target Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes which are available to all employees. Contributions to the schemes by the Target Group and employees are calculated as a percentage of employees’ basic salaries. The retirement benefit scheme cost charged to profit or loss represents contributions payable by the Target Group to the funds.

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are ecognized when, and only when, the Target Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

(n) Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

– 68 –

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

(o) Taxation

Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit ecognized in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Target 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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Target Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(p) Related parties

A party is related to the Target Group if:

  • (i) directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the party controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Target Group; has an interest in the Target Group that gives it significant influence over the Target Group; or has joint control over the Target Group;

  • (ii) the party is an associate;

  • (iii) the party is a joint venture;

  • (iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Company or its parent;

  • (v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);

– 69 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

  • (vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or

  • (vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Target Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Target Group.

(q)

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets except goodwill, investments and receivables to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(r) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

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 is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence 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 is remote.

(s)

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Target Group’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

5. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, the directors have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Information (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below).

Going concern basis

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends on the Target Group’s funding plans and the attainment of profitable and positive cash flow operations of the Target Group to meet its future working capital and financial requirements. Details are explained in note 2 to Financial Information.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

(a) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

The Target Group determines the estimated useful lives, residual values and related depreciation charges for the Target Group’s property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Target Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual values are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

(b) Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Target Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the reporting period was RMB11,942,254. Details of the impairment loss assessment are provided in note 16 to Financial Information.

(c) Impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts

The Target Group makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgment and estimates. Where the actual result is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed. If the financial conditions of the debtors were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

APPENDIX II ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance.

(a) Credit risk

The carrying amount of the bank balances, trade and other receivables, and held-to-maturity investment included in the statement of financial position represents the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the Target Group’s financial assets.

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

The credit risk on held-to-maturity investments is low because the counterparty is the PRC government.

The Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that counterparties fail to perform their obligations at 30 September 2010 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amounts of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. In order to minimise credit risk, the directors review the recoverable amount of each individual debtor regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised for irrecoverable debts.

(b)

Liquidity risk

As at 30 September 2010, the bank balances and cash of the Target Group denominated in RMB amounted to RMB12,634,508. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is subject to the PRC’s Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations.

The Target Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The maturity analysis of the Target Group’s financial liabilities is as follows:

Less than
1 year
RMB
At 30 September 2010
Settlement obligations 72,094,582
Accruals and Other payables 4,011,566
Due to ultimate holding company 4,829,130
Borrowing 15,900,000

(c) Interest rate risk

The Target Group’s held-to-maturity investment, time deposits, due from a related company and borrowing bear interests at fixed interest rates and therefore are subject to fair value interest rate risks.

(f) Other risk

Regulation regime on payment services in the PRC

In May 2010, the People’s Bank of China (“ PBOC ”) promulgated the Administrative Method of Payment Services for Non-Financial Institutions (the “ Administrative Method ”) which took effect from 1 September 2010 (the “ Effective Date ”). The Administrative Method aims to regulate those non-financial institutions carrying on fund transfer services such as (i) network payment; (ii) issuing for profits prepaid cards for goods or services consumption from merchants other than the card issuer; (iii) collection of funds for bank cards at point of sales of contracted merchants; and (iv) such other alternate payment services as confirmed by PBOC.

In addition, according to the Administrative Method, the business scope, the qualification of offshore investor and investment proportion in relation to foreign invested payment institutions shall be determined by PBOC separately and are subject to the approval from the State Council (國務院).

The Target Company has been advised by the PRC legal counsel that as of the date of this report, PBOC has not yet determined the administrative measures applicable to foreign invested payment institutions. The Administrative Method currently does not restrict the continued operation of foreign invested payment institutions which have already been carrying on payment services prior to the Effective Date. The administrative measures for foreign invested payment institutions shall apply to members of the Target Group currently carrying on payment services which are either foreign direct investment companies or indirect investment companies. Once PBOC has promulgated the relevant administrative measures applicable to foreign invested payment institutions, the Target Group should apply for the Certificate for Approval for Payment Business accordingly.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash generating units (“ CGUs ”) that are expected to benefit from that business combination. The carrying amount of goodwill had been allocated as follows:

Shangyin and its subsidiaries
Shenyang Shanglian
Hainan Shanglian
At
30 September
2010
RMB
10,474,961
633,348
833,945
11,942,254

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and budgeted gross margin and turnover during the period. The Target Group estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGUs. The growth rates are based on long-term average economic growth rate of the geographical area in which the businesses of the CGUs operate. Budgeted gross margin and turnover are based on past practices and expectations on market development.

The director of the Target Company prepared cash flow projections derived from the most recent financial budgets approved for the next five years. The cash flow projections were prepared on the major assumption that the Target Group will be able to apply for the Certificate for Approval for Payment Business once PBOC has promulgated the relevant administrative measures applicable to foreign invested payment institutions.

The key assumptions used for cash flow projections are as follows:

2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
Growth rate 100% 80% 60% 40% 20%

28. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Acquisition of subsidiaries

On 21 July 2010, the Target Company obtained control of Shangyin and its subsidiaries (“ Shangyin Group ”) by acquiring 100% paid up capital of Shangyin for a cash consideration of HK$6,000,000 (equivalent to RMB5,212,858). Shangyin Group is principally engaged in stored value card payment services and related customer services in the PRC during the period.

The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Shangyin Group acquired as at its date of acquisition is as follows:

Net assets acquired:
Property, plant and equipment
Investments in jointly controlled entities
Trade and other receivables
Time deposits with original maturities over three months

The fair value of the trade and other receivables acquired is RMB17,941,870. The gross amount due under the contracts is RMB17,941,870, of which RMB Nil is expected to be uncollectible.

The goodwill arising on the acquisition of Shangyin Group is attributable to the anticipated profitability of stored value card payment services and related customer services in the PRC.

Shangyin Group has no contribution for the period between the date of acquisition and the end of the reporting period.

If the acquisition had been completed on 8 February 2010 (date of incorporation), total Target Group revenue for the period would have been approximately RMB829,000, and loss for the period would have been approximately RMB13,988,000. The proforma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of the revenue and results of operations of the Target Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on 8 February 2010 (date of incorporation), nor is intended to be a projection of future results.

Notes:

  1. On 22 November 2010, the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the New Placing Agreement pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to place, through the Placing Agent, up to 625,000,000 Placing Shares at a price of HK$0.32 per Placing Share on a best effort basis, but not less than 375,000,000 Placing Shares for the purpose of the Acquisition. The target proceeds from Placing are approximately HK$200,000,000 and the estimated issuance costs are approximately HK$9 million. The proceeds from the Placing are for the purpose of funding the Acquisition and the balance will be used as the general working capital for the future development of the Target Group.

  2. On 10 July 2010, the Target Company entered into an agreement with its ultimate holding company to capitalise the loan of HK$5,610,000 due to its ultimate holding company as equity of the Target Company. On 5 November 2010, the capitalisation took place by the issuance and allotment of 769,231 ordinary share at a premium of US$1 each without par value. For the purpose of preparation of this Statement, the capitalisation is assumed to be effective on 30 June 2010.

  • (a) The initial Cash Consideration of HK$80,000,000 payable upon Completion.

  • (b) The initial consideration of HK$70,000,000 payable by way of issue and allotment of 218,750,000 Consideration Shares upon Completion which results additional share capital of approximately HK$2,188,000 and share premium of approximately HK$43,750,000, for the acquisition of the Target Group as if the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2010. The fair value of the Consideration Shares is estimated to be approximately HK$45,938,000 based on the closing price of HK$0.21 per share of the Company as at 30 June 2010.

The fair value of the shares of the Company was HK$0.375 as at 21 January 2011 , being the Latest Practicable Date prior to the printing of this circular. If the consideration was based on the fair value of the shares of the Company on the Latest Practicable Date, it would be HK$82,031,000.

The fair value of the Consideration Shares will be adjusted at the date of Completion of the Acquisition with reference to the closing price of the share of the Company at that date.

  • (c) The Company and the Vendor entered into the CB Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, the Company will issue the zero coupon redeemable and convertible bonds in a maximum aggregate principal amount of HK$700,000,000 to the Vendor to satisfy in part the consideration following the Adjusted Consideration Scenarios, as such, the Convertible Bonds will be issued in various tranches and the issue of each tranche is subject to the satisfaction by the Target Group of each of the Adjusted Consideration Scenarios set out above. Failure by the Target Group to achieve the targets set out in all of the Adjusted Consideration Scenarios set out above will result in the Vendor not being entitled to any Convertible Bond.

The Convertible Bonds will be matured on 31 December 2015 and can be converted at any time before maturity at an initial conversion price of HK$0.32 per share.

The fair value of the total contingent consideration is approximately HK$778,293,000 which is valued by an independent professional valuer, by using a probability model and the final valuation results to be recognised at actual Completion of the Acquisition may be different from the amounts stated herein.

Fair values of the liability component and the equity component of various tranche Convertible Bonds shall be assessed on the date of issue and the subsequent change in fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognised in profit or loss.

APPENDIX IV UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

  1. For the purpose of this Statement, the management applied Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) ‘‘Business Combinations’’ for the Acquisition.

The adjustment represents the elimination of the Group’s investment in the Target Group and the recognition of goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Target Group. The fair value of the Target Group is determined as its net liabilities of HK$5,953,000 as at 30 September 2010 assuming the carrying amounts of the net liabilities of the Target Group approximate to its fair value. Subsequent to the capitalisation of the amount of HK$5,610,000 due to the Target Company’s ultimate holding company as set out in note 2, the adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group would be HK$343,000. The goodwill of approximately HK$904,574,000 is the difference between the fair value of the consideration amounting to approximately HK$904,231,000 as mentioned in note 3 and the adjusted net liabilities of the Target Group of HK$343,000.

The goodwill is derived from the calculation as follows:

Fair value of consideration
– Cash
– Consideration Shares
– Convertible bonds
Add: Fair value of net liabilities of the Target Group as at
30 September 2010
Goodwill arising from acquisition of Target Group
80,000
45,938
778,293
HK$’000
904,231
343
904,574

If the consideration was based on the fair value of the shares of the Company on the Latest Practicable Date, the Proposed Acquisition would result in a goodwill of approximately HK$940,324,000.

The fair value of the net assets of the Target Group will be adjusted at the date of completion of the Proposed Acquisition with reference to the fair value of the Target Group’s assets and liabilities at that date. As such, the goodwill to be recognised in connection with the Acquisition will be different from the amounts stated therein.

In according with the applicable accounting standards, the management of the Company determine whether goodwill is impaired based on the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the management of the Company to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The Company’s management prepared the discounted cash flows based on existing established businesses (i.e. prepaid card payment services) and newly established telephone payment services. Based on the current underlying assumptions for the preparation of the discounted cash flows projections (“ Cash Flows Projections ”), no impairment of goodwill is required as at the Latest Practicable Date. The independent reporting accountants reviewed the management of the Company’s impairment testing and concurred with the Company’s management’s opinion that no impairment of goodwill is required as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Cash Flows Projections and the assumptions on which they are based relate to future events and actual cash flows may be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. For this reason, if the actual cash flows do not correspond with the Cash Flows Projections, impairment may be required in subsequent period.

  1. The accrual for the estimated legal and professional costs directly attributable to the Acquisition amounting to approximately HK$26,000,000 in accordance to HKFRS 3 (revised). The legal and professional costs will not have a continuing effect on the financial statements on the Enlarged Group in subsequent years.
