Adoption of New Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") issued a number of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") and Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS") (hereinafter collectively referred to as "new HKFRS") which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. The Group has not adopted these new HKFRSs in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2005 except for the adoption of HKAS 40 "Investment property" ("HKAS 40"). HKAS 40 introduces both cost model and fair value model for the measurement of investment property. Under the fair value model, HKAS 40 requires fair value changes be recognised to the income statement in the period in which they arise. The Group has elected to apply the fair value model in measuring its investment property and recognises the fair value changes to the income statement in the period in which they arise. As a result of the adoption of HKAS 40, the Group's profit attributable to the shareholders for the year ended March 31, 2005 included an amount of HK$8 .4 million, representing the increase in fair value of investment properties in the current period. There was no effect on the Group's results for the prior accounting periods with respect to the early adoption of HKAS 40. For those new HKFRSs that the Group has not adopted in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2005, the Group has commenced considering the potential impact of those new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether those HKFRSs would have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. Those HKFRSs may result in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.
