CONTRIBUTION OF A SUBSIDIARY TO A JOINTLY-CONTROLLED ENTITY INRETURN FOR 50% EQUITY INTERESTS IN JOINTLY-CONTROLLED ENTITYDuring 2011, the <strong>Group</strong> contributed a subsidiary with a net asset value of HK$84,234,000 (including cash and bankbalances of HK$69,726,000, other assets of HK$99,962,000 and total liabilities of HK$85,454,000) to a jointlycontrolledentity, in return for a 50% equity interest in the jointly-controlled entity valued at HK$173,311,000for the businesses contributed by the two venturers. After the effect of the release from exchange reserves ofHK$1,878,000, the gross gain on disposal of the subsidiary was HK$90,955,000, which represented a realisedgain of HK$52,412,000 and an unrealised gain of HK$38,543,000. The unrealised gain was eliminated against theunderlying assets contributed to the jointly-controlled entities under the proportionate consolidation accountingmethod.The above transaction was effectively an exchange of 50% interests in the subsidiary with the 50% interests inthe business contributed by the other venturer from the <strong>Group</strong>’s perspective. The calculation below presents thetransaction in this way and, thereby, excludes the unrealised portion of the contribution of the 50% interests inthe subsidiary from the transaction.No tax expense arose in 2011 in respect of the gain on disposal from the above transaction.82<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong>
