Directors responsibility for the financial statements The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors responsibility It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on these financial statements and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 141 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making these risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Company s affairs as at 30 June 2012 and of its surplus and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

11 Notes to the financial statements 2. Principal accounting policies (Continued) (b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements (Continued) Up to the date of issuance of these financial statements, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2012 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. The Company has not early applied the following new and revised standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective: HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in Amendments to HKFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards Government Loans existing at Date of Transition to HKFRSs 1 Amendments to HKFRS 7 - Financial Instruments : Disclosures Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 1 HKFRS 9 - Financial Instruments 4 HKFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements 1 HKFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements 1 HKFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 1 HKFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement 1 Amendments to HKAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income 3 Amendments to HKAS 12 - Income Taxes - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets 2 HKAS 19 (2011) Employee Benefits 1 HKAS 27 (2011) Separate Financial Statements 1 HKAS 28 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures 1 HKAS 32 Financial Instruments Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 5 HK(IFRIC) - Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine 1 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 The Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. It is concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Company s results of operations and financial position. (c) Revenue recognition Contributions are recognised when the donor makes a promise to give to the Company. 9

12 Notes to the financial statements 2. Principal accounting policies (Continued) (d) Employee benefits Salaries, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values. (e) Income tax The Company has been exempted from paying Hong Kong Profits Tax under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance. (f) Impairment of assets Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cashgenerating unit) 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 assets (cash-generating unit) in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income and expenditure account. (g) Receivables Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. When the effect of discounting would be immaterial, the receivables are stated at cost. (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. (i) Payables Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discount would be immaterial in which case they are stated at cost. 10

(ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income and expenditure account. (k) Related parties A person or a close member of that person s family is related to the Company if that person (i) has control or joint control over the Company; (ii) has significant influence over the Company; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.
