CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the results of All Asia Asset Capital
Limited (the "Company") together with its subsidiaries (the
"Group") for the year ending 31 December 2015.
Business Review
During the year ended 31 December 2015 the Company continued its
focus on Myanmar. The Company maintained its minority investment of
7 per cent. interest in APU and 7 per cent. interest in MAG.
In June 2015, United Power of Asia Public Company Limited
(previously known as Cyberplanet Interactive Public Company
Limited), a holding company investing in power, real estate and
software development business and listed on the Stock Exchange of
Thailand acquired 93 per cent. of APU. The Company still maintains
its 7 per cent stake in APU. The transaction has increased
transparency and visibility of APU, which is now a part of a public
listed company. APU has completed the development of the first 20
Megawatt gas-fired power plant in Kanbauk region, Dawei Special
Economic Zone, Myanmar, and the plant has commenced its operations
in June 2015. APU is moving forward to further developments of 200
Megawatt plants in the region and is currently seeking financing
for the project development. The Company is actively seeking for
opportunities to realise its investment in APU. At this stage no
discussions on a possible realisation of the APU investment are at
an advanced stage.
During the year MAG continued operating the Allure Resort, a
combined hotel, resort and gaming facilities located in Tachileik
province, Myanmar, in the vicinity of the Thailand-Myanmar Mae Sai
border. The resort is situated in an 11-acre plot and is easily
accessible from Chiang Rai, Thailand and located within 5 minutes
walk from the border. MAG intends to expand its business including
the development of a new building and partnerships with other
gaming operators in order to fulfill increasing demand in this
sector.
Financial Results
During the year ended 31 December 2015 the Company incurred a
net loss of GBP0.30 million (year ended 31 December 2014: net loss
of GBP0.51 million) mainly attributable to administrative expenses
of the Group.
The majority of the assets of the Group consists of its two
investments in APU and MAG. AAA's investments in APU and MAG were
valued by an independent third party valuer at fair values of
GBP3.93 million and GBP1.57 million respectively as at 31 December
2015. As at 31 December 2015 the net assets of the Group were
GBP5.68 million (31 December 2014: net assets of GBP5.34 million)
and the Group had cash and cash equivalents of GBP0.19 million (31
December 2014: cash and cash equivalents of GBP0.45 million).
On 30 April 2015, the Company announced that it has raised
GBP330,000 in cash through a subscription with two existing
shareholders of the Company, in which the Company has issued
2,000,000 new ordinary shares in the Company of no par value each
at a price of 16.5 pence per share. On 20 May 2015, the Company
announced that it has raised GBP159,225 in cash through a
subscription with an existing shareholder of the Company, in which
the Company has issued 965,000 new ordinary shares in the Company
of no par value each at a price of 16.5 pence per share. The
Company intended to use the net proceeds of the subscriptions for
working capital and to provide the Company with additional funds to
make further investments, in accordance with the Company's
investing policy. No new investments have been made by the Company
since the subscriptions were completed.
Board Changes
The Company announced on 26 March 2015 that Mr. Akekachat
Leelapanyalert had resigned from the Board in order to pursue other
business interests. We wish him well in his future endeavours.
In April 2015, the Board welcomed Mr. Wai Tak Jonathan Chu as an
executive director of the Company. Jonathan has over twenty years
of experience in property investment and asset management, investor
relations and corporate finance. Most recently he has worked as an
Investor Relations Manager at Zhengye International Holdings Co.
Ltd and as an Investor Relations Manager at Modern (HR) Limited
both companies listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange, in which he was responsible for their investor relations
programs and sourcing of institutional investors.
In July 2015 the Company announced that following the conclusion
of its 2015 Annual General Meeting, Dr. Sri Hartati Kurniawan had
stepped down as an executive director and chief executive officer
of the Company. We extended our gratitude to Dr. Kurniawan for her
diligence, commitment and contribution to the development of the
Company during her tenure of office and we wish her the best for
her future endeavours. The Company has initiated the search for a
successor and I believe that it is very important that we identify
the right candidate with the skills and experience that match the
strategic direction of the business, who is able to take the
Company to the next level.
Economic Outlook
Myanmar was hit by flooding and landslides in 2015 thus
affecting its economic growth. However despite natural disasters,
it still record an impressive growth rate of 7.2% during the year
(Source: Asia Development Bank Outlook 2016). It is expected that
the region will experience a higher growth rate of 8.4% in 2016,
according to the Asian Development Bank, marked as the highest
growth in the Southeast Asia region.
The hospitality industry in Myanmar has also experienced
significant growth over the past years with the number of foreign
visitors increasing to 4.7 million in 2015, up from just 800,000 in
2011 (Source: The Irrawaddy Report, May 2016). The Myanmar National
Tourism Master Plan envisages the number of foreign visitors to
increase to 7.5 million by 2020, supported by the Country's US$500
million funding in this industry on training tourism workers,
developing destinations and improving connectivity.
In the power sector, currently Myanmar has one of the lowest
electrification rates in Asia with the Myanmar government
estimating that the national electrification ratio is 32 per cent.
and in rural areas only a fraction of the population has access to
electricity. The World Bank estimates electrifying the entire
country will require $444 million annually over 15 years, thus
creating significant opportunities for industry players in this
sector. The Board of AAA hopes that the Company's investment in APU
will play a key part in that.
Appreciation
I would like to thank all the hard work of my fellow Board
members and staff, our advisers and of course our shareholders for
their continuing support for AAA. I sincerely hope that the Company
will continue to enjoy such support towards the development of the
Group in the years to come

DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of
consolidated financial statements for each financial year. The
consolidated financial statements must give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries (the
"Group"), and the Group's profit and loss for that period.
When preparing consolidated financial statements, the Directors
are required to:
-- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable
-- State whether they adhered to applicable accounting standards
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the
consolidated financial statements
-- Prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going
concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
Company will continue in business
The Directors must keep proper accounting records, which
disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial
position of the Group and the Company. The Directors must ensure
that the consolidated financial statements comply with applicable
laws and follow International Financial Reporting Standards. The
Directors must also safeguard the assets of the Group and the
Company, and take reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud or
other irregularities.
Website publication

the financial statements are made available on a website. Financial
statements are published on the Company's website in accordance
with AIM Rules. The maintenance and integrity of information
presented in the Company's website is the responsibility of the
Directors, therefore the Directors' responsibility also extends to
the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained
therein.
Auditors

Wai Tak Jonathan Chu (appointed on 2 April 2015)
Independent Non-Executive Director:
(Dominic) Seah Boon Chin
The Directors are not related to each other.
Responsibilities of the Board
The Directors are responsible for the overall management and
control of the Company as well as identifying investment
opportunities, managing the investment/acquisition process and
monitoring the investee companies' operating performance. The
Directors will review the operations of the Company at regular
board meetings and it is currently intended that the Board will
meet at least four times a year and at other times as and when
required.
The Directors recognise the importance of sound corporate
governance commensurate with the size of the Company and the
interests of Shareholders and intend that, following Admission, the
Company will comply with the main provisions of the Corporate
Governance Guidelines for Smaller Quoted Companies published by the
Quoted Companies Alliance to the extent that they believe it is
appropriate in light of the size, stage of development and
resources of the Company.
Board Committee
As there is currently only one independent non-executive
director of the Company, being Dominic Seah Boon Chin, the Board
has not established remuneration, nomination and audit committees.
Until the appointment of a further independent non-executive
director, Dominic Seah Boon Chin will be responsible for the
Company's remuneration policy and the Board as a whole will monitor
the performance of the Board and plans for succession and the
functions usually carried out by a nominations committee. Until an
audit committee is appointed, the Board as a whole will be
responsible for reviewing and monitoring internal financial control
systems and risk management systems on which the Company is
reliant, considering annual and interim accounts and audit reports,
considering the appointment and remuneration of the Company's
auditor and monitoring and reviewing annually their independence,
objectivity, effectiveness and qualifications
INVESTING POLICY
(Adopted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 10
December 2013)
The Company intends to invest in companies with at least the
majority of their operations (or early stage companies that intend
to have at least the majority of their operations) in the Asia
Pacific region. The Company intends to invest in a portfolio of
companies with an initial focus on companies that operate (or early
stage companies that intend to operate) in industries with likely
high growth potential including, but not limited to: agriculture,
forestry and plantation, mining, natural resources, property and/or
technology.
The Directors intend to source and identify potential
investments in line with the Investing Policy through their own
research and network of contacts and possibly strategic
partnerships with other companies or persons who can assist the
Company in sourcing and identifying potential investments.
Investments are expected to be mainly in the form of equity
although investments may be by way of debt, convertible securities
or investments in specific projects. In the case of equity
investments, the Directors intend typically to take minority
positions (with suitable minority protection rights), primarily in
unquoted companies. Investments will therefore typically be of a
passive nature. However, whilst the Directors intend that typical
investments will constitute minority positions in investee
companies, should the Company make majority investments, the
Company may seek participation in the management or board of
directors of such an entity with a view to seeking to improve the
performance and growth of the business.
There is no limit on the size of an investment in a project. The
Directors expect that each investment will typically yield a
targeted internal rate of return of at least 20 to 30 per cent. per
annum. It is likely that a substantial portion of the Company's
financial resources will be invested in a small number of
companies, however the Company has not excluded the possibility of
making just one investment. Depending on the size of investments,
they may be deemed to be reverse takeovers for the purposes of the
AIM Rules, which would require Shareholder approval and
re-admission of the Company, as enlarged by the acquisition, to
trading on AIM.
In addition to paying the costs of the Company's ongoing
expenses, the Company's cash resources will primarily be used to
identify, evaluate and select suitable investment opportunities and
to make investments, either in part or in full, as applicable. The
Directors consider that as investments are made, or promising new
investment opportunities arise, further funding of the Company will
be required and they anticipate further equity fundraisings by the
Company. Subject to prevailing authorities to issue new Ordinary
Shares or, if required, with Shareholder approval, new Ordinary
Shares may be used as consideration, in whole or in part, for
investments. The Company will not be subject to any borrowing or
leverage limits. In order to mitigate investment risk, the
Directors intend to carry out a thorough due diligence process in
evaluating each potential investment including: site visits,
analysis of financial, legal and operational aspects of each
investment opportunity, meetings with management, risk analysis,
review of corporate governance and anti-corruption procedures and
the seeking of third party expert opinions and valuation reports
where the Directors see fit.
The Directors will apply investment criteria including: the
potential for capital growth and/or the potential for profit
generation with a view to receiving dividend income over time, high
attractiveness to potential buyers of the company in question in
order to facilitate exits and a strong and experienced management
team.
Given the time frame to fully maximise the value of an
investment, the Board expects that investments will be held for the
medium to long term, although short-term disposals of assets cannot
be ruled out in exceptional or opportunistic circumstances. The
Directors intend to re-invest the proceeds of disposals in
accordance with the Company's Investing Policy unless, at the
relevant time, the Directors believe that there are no suitable
investment opportunities in which case the Directors will consider
returning the proceeds to Shareholders in a tax efficient
manner.
Cash held by the Company pending investment, reinvestment or
distribution will be managed by the Company and placed in bank
deposits or in capital guaranteed schemes offered by major global
financial institutions, in order to protect the capital value of
the Company's cash assets. The Company may, where appropriate, also
enter into agreements or contracts in order to hedge against
interest rate or currency risks. Investments are expected to be
held by the Company or a subsidiary to be incorporated for the
purpose of holding an investment.
Any material change to the Company's Investing Policy will only
be made following the approval by ordinary resolution of
Shareholders in general meeting. In addition, if the Company has
not substantially implemented its Investing Policy within 18 months
of Admission, the Company will seek the approval of Shareholders at
its next annual general meeting for its Investing Policy and on
annual bases thereafter until such time that its Investing Policy
has been substantially implemented. If it appears unlikely that the
Company's Investing Policy can be implemented at any time, the
Directors will consider returning remaining funds to
Shareholders.
The Directors will review the Investing Policy on an annual
basis and will implement any non-material changes or variations as
they consider fit. Details of any such non-material changes or
variations will be announced as appropriate. Any material change or
variation of the Investing Policy will be subject to the prior
approval of Shareholders

INDEPENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF ALL ASIA ASSET CAPITAL LIMITED
(Incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited
liability)
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of All
Asia Asset Capital Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiary
(collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on page 19 to 58,
which comprise the consolidated statement financial position as at
31 December 2015, consolidated statement of profit or loss,
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, consolidated statement of change in equity and consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Directors' responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
issued by International Accounting Standards Board, and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit, and to report
our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed
terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for
contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing. Those 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 consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and
true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
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
consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.

will have no material impact on the results and the financial
position of the Group.
IFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduced new requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was
subsequently amended in 2010 to include requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for
de-recognition, and further amended in 2013 to include the new
requirements for general hedge accounting. Another revised version
of HKFRS 9 was issued in 2014 mainly to include a) impairment
requirements for financial assets; and b) limited amendments to the
classification and measurement requirements by introducing a 'fair
value through other comprehensive income' (FVTOCI) measurement
category for certain simple debt instruments.
Key requirements of IFRS 9 (2014) are described as follows:
-- All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
required to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair
value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a
business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash
flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely
payments of principle and interest on the principle outstanding are
generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent
accounting periods. Debt instruments that are held within a
business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting
contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principle amount outstanding, are measured at
FVTOCI. All other debt investments and equity investments are
measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting
periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an
irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair
value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in
other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally
recognised in profit or loss.
-- With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities
designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires
that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial
liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of
that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless
the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's credit
risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an
accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value
attributable to changes in the financial liability's credit risk
are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39,
the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial
liability designated as fair value through profit or loss is
presented in profit or loss.
-- In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9
requires and expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred
credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model
requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and
changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to
reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other
words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have
occurred before credit losses are recognised.
-- The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the
three types of hedge accounting mechanisms currently available in
HKAS 39. Under IFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to
the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting,
specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for
hedging instruments and the types of risk components of
non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In
addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced
with the principle of an 'economic relationship'. Retrospective
assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required.
Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity's risk management
activities have also been introduced.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of
IFRS 9 in the future may have a material impact on amounts reported
in respect of the Group's financial assets and financial
liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable
estimate of the effect of IFRS 9 until the Group undertakes a
detailed review.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 issued in 2016 introduces new principles for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases,
with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide
relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions.
IFRS 16 will supersede the current lease recognition guidance
including IAS 17 Lease and the related Interpretations when it
becomes effective.
As for lessees, all leases result in a company (the lessee)
obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and,
if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing.
Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as
either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17
and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying
that model, a lessee is required to recognise:
-- assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low
value; and
-- depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement.
As for lessors, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor
accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues
to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and
to account for those two types of leases differently.
Overall, the most significant effect of the new requirements
will be an increase in recognised lease assets and financial
liabilities.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the implementation
of IFRS 16 in the future will affect the classification and
measurement in lessee accounting. However, it is not practicable to
provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed
review has been completed.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. The preparation of these financial statements
in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires the directors of the Company
to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group's
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates
are significant to these financial statements are disclosed in Note
4.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company
and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if
facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or
more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control
of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in
the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date the
Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control
the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income
are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the
non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of
subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the
non-controlling interests even if this results in the
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with those used by the members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balance, income and expenses are
eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group does not have any non-controlling interest during the
year.
(b) Segment reporting
For the purpose of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" the Company
currently has one segment being "Investment sector". No further
operating segment financial information is therefore disclosed.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets
less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using
the straight-line method. The following annual rates are used for
the depreciation of property, plant and equipment:
Furniture and fixture 20%
Office equipment 30%
If there is an indication that there has been a significant
change in the depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of
an asset, the depreciation of that asset is revised prospectively
to reflect the new expectations.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than
its estimated recoverable amount.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and other
short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less. Bank overdraft is shown within borrowings in
current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial
position.
(e) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a
group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and
financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or
deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets
or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are
recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified
categories: financial assets at "fair value through profit or loss"
(FVTPL), "held-to-maturity" investments, "available-for-sale" (AFS)
financial assets and "loans and receivables". The classification
depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is
determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way
purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and
derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales
are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of
assets within the time frame established by regulation or
convention in the marketplace.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the
amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest
income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
(including all fees on points paid or received that form an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt
instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net
carrying amount of initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt
instruments other than those financial assets designed as at
FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FYTPL when the financial
assets are either held for trading or it is designated as at
FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
-- it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
-- On initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of
identified financial instruments that the Group manages together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-- it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading
may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-- such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
arise; or
-- the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets
or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and
information about the grouping is provided internally on that
basis; or
-- it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded
derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or
liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any
gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit or
loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss
incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset
and is included in the "revenue" line item in the consolidated
income statement.
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that
the Group has the intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less
any impairment (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment
losses on financial assets below).
Available-for-sale financial assets ("AFS financial assets")
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either
designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as (a) loans
and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial
assets at FVTPL.
AFS financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of
the each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognised in
other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of
available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve. Where the
financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the
cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the
available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve is reclassified
to profit or loss (see the accounting policy in respect of
impairment loss on financial assets below).
AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in
an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured
and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery
of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any
identified impairment losses at the end of the reporting period
(see the accounting policy in respect of impairment loss on
financial assets below).
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. Loans and receivables (including deposits and other
receivables, cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest
rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of
interest would be immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for
indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is
objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the
estimated future cash flows of the investment have been
affected.
For AFS equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline
in the fair value of the security below its costs is considered to
be objective evidence of impairment.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment
could include:
-- significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-- breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-- it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy
or financial re-organisation; or
-- the disappearance of an active market for that financial
asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as deposits and
other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired
individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a
collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio
of receivables could include the Group's past experience of
collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments
in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as
observable changes in national or local economic conditions that
correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of
the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the
asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective
interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the
impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's
carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash
flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar
financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in
subsequent periods (see the accounting policy below).
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the
impairment loss directly for all financial assets, where the
carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are
recognised in profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a
subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and
the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment
loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the
carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is
revered does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had
the impairment not been recognised.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired,
cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the
period.
In respect of AFS equity investments, impairment losses
previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through
profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an
impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated under the heading of available-for-sale investments
revaluation reserve. In respect of AFS debt investments, impairment
losses are subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an
increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the recognition of the
impairment loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified
as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a
financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual
interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised
at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised
and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the
Company's own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the
financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated
as at FVTPL on initial recognition.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-- it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; or
-- on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of
identified financial instruments that the Group manages together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-- it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for
trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition
if:
-- such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
arise; or
-- the financial liability forms part of a group of financial
assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and
information about the grouping is provided internally on that
basis; or
-- it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded
derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or
liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with
any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit
or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss
incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is
included in the "other gain and losses" line item in the
consolidated income statement.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including other payables and
others) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the
amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is
the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments
(including all fees and points paid or received that form an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the
financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the
net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest
basis.
De-recognition
The Group de-recognises a financial asset only when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when
it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the
Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred
asset, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of
its continuing involvement and recognises an associated liability.
If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to
recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised
borrowing for the proceeds received.
On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the
difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or
loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
On de-recognition of a financial asset other than in its
entirety, the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the
financial asset between the part it continues to recognise, and the
part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair
values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference
between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer
recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part
no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to
it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is
recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had
been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between
the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no
longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those
parts.
The Group de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only
when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they
expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial
liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is
recognised in profit or loss.
(e) Current assets and current liabilities
Current assets are expected to be realised within twelve months
of the date of the reporting period or in the normal course of the
Group's operating cycle. Current liabilities are expected to be
settled within twelve months of the date of the reporting period or
in the normal course of the Group's operating cycle.
(g) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group
entities are measured using the currency in accordance to the
location where shares of the Company are traded (the functional
currency). These consolidated financial statements are presented in
Great British Pound ("GBP"), which is the Company's functional and
the Group's presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing as at the end of the
year. 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 other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of
translation reserve.
(h) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if
applicable, can be measured reliably, the Group did not generate
any gain or loss on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets
the reporting period whereas interest income is recognised on a
time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and
it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that
obligation, and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are measured at the Group's best estimate of
the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the
end of the reporting period, and are discounted to present value
where the effect of the time value of money is material.
(j) Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of
the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as
operating leases.
Rental payable under operating leases are recognised as an
expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern
in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
(k) Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of services received determined by reference to
the fair value of share warrants and options granted under the
share warrants and share award scheme of the Company on the grant
date is expensed on the year of grant.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its
estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately
vest. The impact of the revision of the estimates during the
vesting period, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that
cumulative expenses reflects the revised estimate, with a
corresponding adjustment to equity. At the time when the share
options are exercised, forfeited after the vesting date or are
still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously
recognised will continue to be held in equity.
(l) Retirement benefit cost
Payments to retirement benefits plans and government-managed
retirement benefits schemes are recognised as an expense when
employees have rendered service entitling them to the
contributions.
(m) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently
payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the
year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the
statement of income and retained earnings because of items of
income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and
items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability
for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases using in the
computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are
generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent that is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and
liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises
from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in
business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a
transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the
accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the
reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow
all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and
assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to
recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities. However, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities
associated with an investment property measured at fair value does
not exceed the amount of tax that would be payable on its sale to
an unrelated market participant at fair value at the reporting
date. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it
relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity
respectively.
(n) Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to
amortisation, which are at least tested annually for impairment and
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation 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 lower levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
flow (cash-generating units).
(o) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from
past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a
present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised
because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will
be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured
reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed
in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the
probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they
will then be recognised as a provision.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within control of the Group. A contingent asset is not recognised
but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an
inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually
certain, an asset is recognised.
(p) Related parties
For the purpose of these financial statements, related party
includes a person and entity as defined below:
(a) A person or a close member of that person's family is
related to the Group if that person:
(i) has control or joint control over the Group;
(ii) has significant influence over the Group; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Group's parent.
(b) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following
conditions applies:
(i) the entity and the Group are members of the same group
(which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is
related to the others).
(ii) either entity is an associate or joint venture of the other
entity (or of a member of a group of which the other entity is a
member).
(iii) both entities are joint ventures of a third entity.
(iv) either entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the
other entity is an associate of the third entity.
(v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit
of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group.
If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring
employers are also related to the plan.
(vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).
(vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence
over the entity or is member if the key management personnel of the
entity (or of a parent of the entity).
(viii) Close members of the family of a person are those family
members who may be expected to influence or be influenced
management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the
entity).
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based
on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.
The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year are discussed below.
(a) Valuation of financial instruments
The Group uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are
not based on observable market data to estimate the fair value of
certain types of financial instruments. Notes 13 provide
information the estimation of the fair value of financial
instruments.
The directors of the Company believe that the chosen valuation
techniques used are appropriate in determining the fair value of
financial instruments.
(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and
equipment in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses
to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the
asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected
usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical
obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service
output of the assets. The Group also perform annual reviews on
whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be
valid.
(c) Impairment of assets
The Group tests annually whether the asset has suffered any
impairment. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating
unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require
the use of assumptions and estimates.

Interest rate risk
The Group currently operates with positive cash and cash
equivalent as a result of issuing share for cash during the year
ended 31 December 2015. As the Group has no borrowings from the
bank, the exposure to the interest rate risk is not significant to
the Group. The effect of a 5% increase or fall in interest rate
obtainable on cash and on short-term deposits would be to increase
or decrease the Group's operating results by not more than GBP1,000
(2014: not more than GBP1,000).
Equity price risk
The Group's equity price risk relates to equity price change
arising from unlisted equity securities included
available-for-sales financial assets. The Group's unlisted
securities are held for medium to long term strategic purpose.
Their performance is assessed periodically by the directors of the
Company.
Sensitivity analysis
If the price of the respective investments held by the Group as
AFS financial assets were higher or lower by 5% as at 31 December
2015, the Group's other comprehensive income for year ended 31
December 2015 would increase or decrease by approximately
GBP281,143 (2014: GBP265,345).
Credit risk
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by
total financial assets held by the Group. The Group does not hold
any collateral during the reporting period.
Cash and bank deposits are placed with financial institutions
with sound credit ratings and the directors of the Company do not
expect any counterparty failing to meet its obligation.
The Group does not provide any financial guarantees which would
expose the Group to credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group are unable to meet
their payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities
when they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate reserves, as well as continuously monitoring cash flow
forecast and actual cash flows.
In managing the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains
a level of cash and cash equivalents that is adequate in discretion
of the directors of the Company. In formulating their strategy, the
directors of the Company would consider the financing of the
Group's operations and the effects of fluctuation in operating and
investing cash flows. As at 31 December 2015, the liquidity of the
Group is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate
cash flows from operations and to raise funds through issue and
allotment of new shares to meet its obligations and investment
project opportunities as they fall due or arise.
The maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities as at
the end of the year is as follows:
