The Group had cash and cash equivalents of HK$74.3 million as of 31 December 2013 compared to HK$28.2 million as of 31 December 2012.

Working Capital

Debtors and inventories have decreased by 96.8% and 100% in 2013 due principally to the reduction in sales and the disposal of non-current inventory. This is in line with the continued consolidation and realignment of the Group businesses.

Gearing ratio

As at 31 December 2013, the Group's gearing ratio was approximately 0.161x as compared to 0.041x as at 31 December 2012. The gearing ratio was calculated as the Group's total debt divided by its total capital. Debt of HK$39.7 million is calculated as total borrowings (including short-term bank loans amounting HK$9.3 million, the current portion of financing obligations amounting HK$0.1 million and long term bank loans amounting HK$30.3 million). Total capital is calculated as total shareholder equity of HK$245.9 million plus debt.

Contingent Liabilities

As at 31 December 2013, the Group had no outstanding contingent liabilities. There were also no contingent liabilities as 31 December 2012. The Company acted as a guarantor of its subsidiaries to secure interest-bearing borrowings, which amounted to approximately HK$0.2 million (2012: HK$0.2 million).

Foreign exchange risk management

Certain of the Group's bank balances are denominated in Pounds, Ringgit, United States Dollars, United Arab Emirates Dirham and Renminbi, each of which is a currency other than the functional currency of the relevant group entities, which exposes it to foreign currency risk. The Group has not used any financial instruments to hedge against this currency risk. However, the Group monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Human Resources

As at 31 December 2013, in addition to the Directors, there were around 41 employees (2012: 48) of the Group stationed in the Group's offices in Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Beijing, Macau, Bangkok and Dubai. Total staff costs for the year ended 2013 were HK$8.7 million, compared with HK$13.2 million in 2012. The saving was attributable to the Group's continuous efforts to reduce its overheads and to re-allocate project resources by increasing collaboration with third party partners, reducing the dependency on internal manpower.

During the period, the Group offered training and development courses for its employees to enhance staff working capabilities. Remuneration packages are linked with individual's performance and the Group's business performance, and take into consideration industry practices and competitive market conditions, reviewed on an annual basis. Directors' remuneration is determined with reference to his duties and responsibilities with the Company, the Company's standards for emoluments and market conditions. Share options are also granted to eligible employees based on individual's performance as well as the Group's performance.

Management Outlook

The Group's continuous efforts to consolidate and realign its businesses have enabled the Group to achieve a preliminary improvement in its financial position.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Directors, where practicable, for an organisation of the Group's size and nature sought to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code ("the Code"). The Code is the key source of corporate governance recommendations for UK listed companies. It consists of principles of good governance covering the following areas: (i) Directors; (ii) Directors' remuneration; (iii) accountability and audit; (iv) relations with shareholders; and (v) institutional investors. The Company adopted the code provisions set out in the Corporate Governance Code ("CG Code") contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules as its additional code on corporate governance practices. The Company has complied with the CG Code throughout the year ended 31 December 2013, except for the deviation from code provisions A.2.1 and A.5.1 after the period which is explained in the following paragraph.

Under code provision A.5.1 of the CG Code, the nomination committee should be chaired by the chairman of the board or an independent non-executive director. On 19 July 2013, Tan Sri Dato' Nik Hashim Bin Nik Ab. Rahman has resigned as the chairman of the Board and the chairman of nomination committee of the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2013

   1.       BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values.

   2.       STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, the financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the disclosure requirements of Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

   3.       APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 

The Group has applied the following new and revised IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standard Board for the first time in the current year:

 
Amendments to IFRSs    Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009-2011 Cycle 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
Amendments to IFRS     Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
 7                      Liabilities 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
Amendments to IFRS     Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements 
 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS   and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition

---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
IFRS 11                Joint Arrangements 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
IFRS 12                Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
IFRS 13                Fair Value Measurement 
---------------------  ----------------------------------------------------------

---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
IAS 27 (Revised 2011)  Separate Financial Statements 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
IAS 28 (Revised 2011)  Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
Amendments to IAS      Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income 
 1 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
Amendments to IAS      Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial 
 36                     Assets 
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
IFRIC - Int 20         Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface 
                        Mine 
 

Except as described below, the application of the new and revised IFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group's financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The Group has applied the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income for the first time in the current year. 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 items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section; (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may 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 do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to IAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

Amendments to IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

The amendments to IAS 36 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives had been allocated when there has been no impairment or reversal of impairment of the related CGU. Furthermore, the amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements regarding the fair value hierarchy, key assumptions and valuation techniques used when the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU was determined based on its fair value less costs of disposal.

   4.       ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

   (2)          Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014

(4) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, with limited exceptions

   10.     LOSS PER SHARE 

The calculation of basic loss per share for the year is based on the Group's loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$935,625,000 (2012: net loss HK$1,874,373,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of 701,325,866 (2012: 595,575,207).

During the year ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, the computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the exercise of the Company's outstanding share options because the exercise price of those share options was higher than the average market price for shares for the year. And so the diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2013 and 2012 was the same as the basic loss per share as there was no diluting event during the current year.

   11.     DIVIDENDS 

The directors of the Company do not recommend the payment of any dividend for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: Nil).
