They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the periodic re-measurement of certain fixed assets. The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") has issued a number of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("new HKFRSs") which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The Group has not early adopted those new HKFRSs in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of those new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a significant impact on its results of operations and financial position. (2) SUMMARY OF AUDITORS' REPORT (a) During the year the Group has acquired 49% additional equity interest in a subsidiary. The goodwill on consolidation generated from the said acquisition was based on the subsidiary's unaudited management accounts. In the current year, the Group has written off 50% of the goodwill arising therefrom. The auditors are unable to carry out any audit procedures to ascertain the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of this subsidiary. In addition, the auditors have not been provided with sufficient information regarding the future operation of the said subsidiary to justify the carrying value of the abovementioned goodwill. Accordingly, the auditors are unable to determine whether the goodwill arising from the above mentioned acquisition is fairly stated and whether any impairment losses should be made against the goodwill. Any adjustment to the goodwill would have a consequential effect on the loss for the year and the value of goodwill being capitalized; (b) The Group's plant and machineries utilized for the production of carpets with a carrying value of approximately HK$54,100,000 as at 31 December 2004 have not been operating on a normal capacity basis during the year. No provision for impairment in respect of these plant and machineries has been made. The auditors are unable to carry out any audit procedures to ascertain the fair value of these plant and machineries as at 31 December 2004. Any impairment would have a consequential effect on the loss for the year and the carrying value of these plant and machineries as at 31 December 2004; and
