The Company was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and acts as an investment holding company. Its shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and certain of its shares are listed as Depositary Receipts in Taiwan Stock Exchange.
The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the
"Corporate Information" section of the interim report.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended
30th September, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements set out in Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for leasehold land and buildings and derivative financial instruments, which are stated at revalued amounts or fair value, as appropriate.
Except as described below, the accounting policies used in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2013.
In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretation issued by the HKICPA which are relevant to and effective for the Group's financial statements for the annual period beginning on 1st April, 2013.
HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements
HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements
HKFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities
Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12
Consolidated financial statements, joint arrangements and disclosure of interest in other entities: Transition guidance
HKFRS 13 Fair value measurement
HKAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee benefits
HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in associates and joint ventures
Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures - offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income Amendments to HKFRSs Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2009-2011 cycle
Except as described below, the application of the above new or revised HKFRSs in the current interim period has had no material effect on the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and/or disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the application of these standards is set out below.

In the current interim period, the Group has applied for the first time HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) together with the amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and HKFRS
12 regarding the transitional guidance. HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) is not applicable to these condensed consolidated financial statements as it deals only with separate financial statements.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" that deal with consolidated financial statements and HK(SIC) - INT 12 "Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities". HKFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor has control over an investee when a) it has power over the investee, b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has been included in HKFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.
The directors of the Company concluded that the application of HKFRS 10 has no impact to the control conclusion over its investees they reached before.

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 "Interests in Joint Ventures", and the guidance contained in a related interpretation, HK(SIC)-Int 13 "Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers", has been incorporated in HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011). HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for. Under HKFRS 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements - joint operations and joint ventures. The classification of which is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Previously, HKAS 31 had three types of joint arrangements - jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled operations and jointly controlled assets. The classification of joint arrangements under HKAS 31 was primarily determined based on the legal form of the arrangement (e.g. a joint arrangement that was established through a separate entity was classified as a jointly controlled entity).
The initial and subsequent accounting of joint ventures and joint operations are different. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed). Investments in joint operations are accounted for such that each joint operator recognises its assets (including its share of any assets jointly held), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue (including its share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation) and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly). Each joint operator accounts for the assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses, relating to its interest in the joint operation in accordance with the applicable standards.
The application of HKFRS 11 did not have significant impact on amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

HKFRS 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 HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those 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 HKFRS 7 "Financial instruments: Disclosures" will be extended by HKFRS
13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope. The adoption of HKFRS 13 does not result in significant impact on the disclosures made in the financial statements.

The amendments to HKAS 1 "Presentation of items of other comprehensive income" introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to HKAS 1, a
'statement of comprehensive income' is renamed as a 'statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income'. The amendments to HKAS 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 HKAS
1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories: (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. Accordingly, the Group has renamed the consolidated statement of comprehensive income to consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Information reported to the Board of the Company, being the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of goods delivered or services rendered. Specifically, the Group's reportable segments under HKFRS 8 are as follows:
LED decorative lighting - manufacture and distribution of LED decorative lighting products
LED general illumination lighting - manufacture and distribution of LED general illumination lighting products
Incandescent decorative lighting - manufacture and distribution of incandescent decorative lighting products
Entertainment lighting - manufacture and distribution of entertainment lighting products
All others - distribution of lighting product accessories
Turnover represents the fair value of the consideration received and receivable for goods sold by the Group to external customers during the period.
