2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />
(b)<br />
Basis of preparation (Continued)<br />
HKAS 32 and HKAS 39 – <strong>Financial</strong> Instruments (Continued)<br />
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities<br />
The Group has applied <strong>the</strong> relevant transitional provisions in HKAS 39 with respect <strong>to</strong> classification and<br />
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities that are within <strong>the</strong> scope of HKAS 39.<br />
This change did not have significant impact on <strong>the</strong> financial statements for current and prior years.<br />
Comparative figures for 2005 have not been restated.<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> assets and financial liabilities o<strong>the</strong>r than debt and equity securities<br />
From 1 April 2005 onwards, <strong>the</strong> Group classifies and measures its financial assets and financial liabilities<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r than debt and equity securities (which were previously outside <strong>the</strong> scope of SSAP 24) in accordance<br />
with <strong>the</strong> requirements of HKAS 39. <strong>Financial</strong> assets under HKAS 39 are classified as “financial assets at fair<br />
value through profit or loss”, “available-for-sale financial assets”, “loans and receivables” or “held-<strong>to</strong>maturity<br />
financial assets”. <strong>Financial</strong> liabilities are generally classified as “financial liabilities at fair value<br />
through profit or loss” or “financial liabilities o<strong>the</strong>r than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or<br />
loss (o<strong>the</strong>r financial liabilities)”. “O<strong>the</strong>r financial liabilities” are carried at amortised cost using <strong>the</strong> effective<br />
interest method. This change did not have significant impact on <strong>the</strong> financial statements for current and<br />
prior years. Comparative figures for 2005 have not been restated.<br />
Derecognition<br />
Under HKAS 39, a financial asset is derecognised, when and only when, ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> contractual rights <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
asset’s cash flows expire, or <strong>the</strong> asset is transferred and <strong>the</strong> transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance<br />
with HKAS 39. The decision as <strong>to</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r a transfer qualifies for derecognition is made by applying a<br />
<strong>com</strong>bination of risks and rewards and control tests. The Group has applied <strong>the</strong> relevant transitional provisions<br />
and applied <strong>the</strong> revised accounting policy prospectively for transfers of financial assets on or after 1 April<br />
2005.<br />
In 2005, <strong>the</strong> Group’s discounted bills with recourse of approximately HK$18,534,000, which were previously<br />
treated as contingent liabilities have been accounted for as collateralised bank advances as <strong>the</strong> financial<br />
assets derecognition conditions as stipulated in HKAS 39 have not been fulfilled.<br />
HKFRS 2 – Share-based payment<br />
In <strong>the</strong> current year, <strong>the</strong> Group has applied HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment” which requires an expense <strong>to</strong> be<br />
recognised where <strong>the</strong> Group buys goods or obtains services in exchange for shares or rights over shares<br />
(“equity-settled transactions”), or in exchange for o<strong>the</strong>r assets equivalent in value <strong>to</strong> a given number of<br />
shares or rights over shares (“cash-settled transactions”). The principal impact of HKFRS 2 on <strong>the</strong> Group is<br />
in relation <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> expensing of <strong>the</strong> fair value of share options of <strong>the</strong> Company determined at <strong>the</strong> date of<br />
grant of <strong>the</strong> share options over <strong>the</strong> vesting period. The Group has applied HKFRS 2 <strong>to</strong> share options granted<br />
on or after 1 January 2005.<br />
The effect of <strong>the</strong> changes in <strong>the</strong> accounting policy has resulted in <strong>the</strong> decrease of <strong>the</strong> net profit for <strong>the</strong><br />
current year by approximately HK$1,000,000. Comparative figures had not been restated as <strong>the</strong> Company<br />
did not grant any option before 1 January 2005.<br />
