Directors responsibility for the financial statements The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors responsibility It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on these financial statements and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 141 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making these risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Company s affairs as at 30 June 2011 and of its surplus and cash flows for the period from 16 March 2011 (date of incorporation) to 30 June 2011 in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

10 Notes to the financial statements 1. Corporate status The Company is a charitable organisation incorporated under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance as a Company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. The liability of the members is limited to HKD100 per member in the event of the Company being wound up, whilst they remain members, or within one year after they cease to be members. The address of its registered office is Room 1708, Dominion Centre, Queen s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Its principal activities are to raise funds and disburse funds to locally led organisations to support at-risk youth. 2. Principal accounting policies (a) Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ( HKFRSs ) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ( HKICPA ) and the requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company is set out below. (b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Up to the date of issuance of these financial statements, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the period from 16 March 2011 (date of incorporation) to 30 June 2011 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. The Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. It is concluded that, apart from certain presentational changes, the adoption of these amendments, new standards and new interpretations is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Company s results of operations and financial position. 8

11 Notes to the financial statements 2. Principal accounting policies (Cont d) (c) Revenue recognition Contributions are recognised when the donor makes a promise to give to the Company. (d) Income tax The Company has been exempted from paying Hong Kong Profits Tax under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance. (e) Impairment of assets Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the assets (cash-generating unit) in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income and expenditure account. (f) Receivables Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. When the effect of discounting would be immaterial, the receivables are stated at cost. (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 9

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. (i) Related parties For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the Company if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals (being members of key management personnel, significant shareholders and/or their close family members) or other entities and include entities which are under the significant influence of related parties of the Company where those parties are individuals, and post-employment benefit plans which are for the benefit of employees of the Company or of any entity that is a related party of the Company. 10
