The amendments to IFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements
for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These
amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk
exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor
retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. The
amendments also require disclosures where transfers of financial
assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period.
The directors do not anticipate that these amendments to IFRS 7
will have a significant effect on the Group's disclosures regarding
transfers of trade receivables previously affected. However, if the
Group enters into other types of transfers of financial assets in
the future, disclosures regarding those transfers may be
affected.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments issued in November 2009 and amended
in October 2010 introduces new requirements for the classification
and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and
for derecognition.
Key requirements of IFRS 9 are described as follows:
-- IFRS 9 requires all recognized financial assets that are
within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair
value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a
business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash
flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are
generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent
accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity
investments are measured at their fair values at the end of
subsequent accounting periods.
-- The most significant effect of IFRS 9 regarding the
classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to
the accounting for changes in the fair value of a financial
liability (designated as at fair value through profit or loss)
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability.
Specifically, under IFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are
designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of
change in the fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is
presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of
the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other
comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch
in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a
financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified
to profit or loss. Previously, under IAS 39, the entire amount of
the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated
as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or
loss.
IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2015, with earlier application permitted.
The directors anticipate that IFRS 9 will be adopted in the
Group's consolidated financial statements for the annual period
beginning 1 January 2015 and that the application of IFRS 9 may
have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the
Group's financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is
not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect
until a detailed review has been completed.
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value
measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The
standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.
The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial
instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other
IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures
about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances.
In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more
extensive than those required in the current standards. For
example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the
three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial
instruments only under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities
within its scope.
IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2013, with earlier application permitted.
The directors anticipate that IFRS 13 will be adopted in the
Group's consolidated financial statements for the annual period
beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the new
Standard may affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the
financial statements.
The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or
loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or
in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments
to IAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other
comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive
income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be
reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that
will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific
conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive
income is required to be allocated on the same basis.
The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of
other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the
amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
No segment analysis is presented for the years ended 31 December
2011 and 31 December 2010 as the Group has only maintained a
minimum operation during the years.
3. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
No provision for taxation has been made as the Group did not
generate any assessable profit for UK Corporation Tax, Hong Kong
Profits Tax and tax in other jurisdictions.
The tax charge for the year can be reconciled to the loss before
tax per the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as
follows:
Year ended 31 December

and their carrying amounts as at 31 December 2011 and 2010.
