1. Effect of adopting new HKFRSs
In 2005, the Group adopted the new/revised standards of HKFRSs below,
which are relevant to its operations. The 2004 comparative figures have
been amended as required, in accordance with the relevant requirements.
HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
HKAS 2 Inventories
HKAS 7 Cash Flow Statements
HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
HKAS 10 Events after the Balance Sheet Date
HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
HKAS 17 Leases
HKAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
HKAS 23 Borrowings Costs
HKAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separated Financial Statements
HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
HKAS 33 Earnings per Share
HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets
HKAS 38 Intangible Assets
HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment
HKFRS 3 Business Combinations
The adoption of new/revised HKASs 1, 2, 7, 8, 10, 16, 21, 23, 24, 27, 33,
36 and 38 did not result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting
policies. Related impact on presentation of the Group's financials is
summarized below.
(a) HKAS 17 - the leasehold interest in the land and buildings is
separated into leasehold land and leasehold buildings. The leasehold land
is classified as an operating lease, because the title of the land is not
expected to be passed to the Group by the end of the lease term, and is
reclassified from fixed assets to land lease payments, while leasehold
buildings continue to be classified as part of property, plant and
equipment. Prepaid land premiums for land lease payments under operating
lease are initially stated at cost and subsequently amortised on the
straight-line basis over the lease term. When the lease payments cannot be
allocated reliably between the land and buildings elements, the entire
lease payments are included in the cost of the land and buildings as a
finance lease in property, plant and equipment. This new accounting policy
has been adopted retrospectively, and the comparative information restated
to reflect the reclassification of leasehold land.
(b) HKAS 24 - it has affected the identification of related parties and
some other related party transactions.
(c) HKAS 32 and HKAS 39 - the Group's discounted bills with recourse,
which were previously treated as contingent liabilities have been
accounted for collateralised bank advances as the financial assets
derecognition conditions as stipulated in HKAS 39 have not been fulfilled.
(d) HKFRS 3 and HKAS 36 - goodwill arising on acquisition is no longer
amortised but subject to an annual impairment review. Any impairment loss
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. Any excess
of the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquirees'
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost
of the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates (previously referred to
as "negative goodwill"), after reassessment, is recognised immediately in
the income statement.
The transitional provisions of HKFRS 3 requires the Group to eliminate at
the beginning of the period the carrying amounts of accumulated
amortisation with a corresponding entry to the cost of the goodwill and to
derecognise the carrying amounts of negative goodwill against retained
profits. The effects of the above changes will have no material impact on
the financial statements of the Group.
(e) HKFRS 2 - in the current period, the Group has applied HKFRS 2
Share-based payment which requires an expense to be recognised where the
Group buy goods or obtains services in exchange for shares or rights over
shares ("equity-settled transactions"), or in exchange for other assets
equivalent in value to a given number of shares or rights over shares ("
cash-settled transactions"). The principal impact of HKFRS 2 on the Group
is in relation to the expensing of the fair value of directors' and
employees' share options of the Company determined at the date of grant of
the share option over the vesting period. The effect of the changes in the
accounting policy has resulted in the decrease of the net profit for the
current period by approximately HK$584,000. Comparative figures had not
been restated as the Company did not grant any option in prior periods.
All changes in the accounting policies have been made in accordance with
the transition provisions in the respective standards. All standards
adopted by the Group require retrospective application other than HKASs
16, 21, 39 and HKFRSs 2 and 3.
