NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). In addition, the consolidated 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 Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

    The financial information relating to the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2015 included in this preliminary announcements of annual results for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2015 do not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for those years but is derived from those financial statements. Further information relating to these statutory financial statements required to be disclosed in accordance with section 436 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance is as follows:

    The Company has delivered the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 to the Registrar of Companies as required by section 662(3) of, and Part 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and will deliver the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 in due course.

    The Company's auditor has reported on the financial statements of the Group for both years. The auditor's report was unqualified; did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying its report; and did not contain a statement under sections 406(2), 407(2) or (3) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

  2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HKFRSs

The Group has applied the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA for the first time in the current year:

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2012 - 2014 Cycle Amendments to HKFRS 10, Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28 Exception

Amendments to HKFRS11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint

Amendments to HKAS 16 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and HKAS 38 and Amortisation

Amendments to HKAS 16 Agriculture: Bearer Plants and HKAS 41

Amendments to HKAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

The application of the amendments to HKFRSs 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 on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
