CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
The year’s positive results have demonstrated the
value of our corporate strategies. Strong and
extensive distribution network, product
advancement, ongoing innovative designs,
operations management, research and
development efforts and maintenance of high staff
morale are critical for our continuous growth.
During the year, we have established several new
sales and representative offices which we believe a
greater reach to customers and an opportunity to
market our products. Apart from the traditional
electronic calculators, we have dedicated our
efforts in launching “S.L.T.” corded telephones and
multifunctional products incorporating (i) radio and
alarm functions, (ii) temperature measuring, (iii)
calculator and (iv) multi-languages speakers, into
the market. These new and diversified products
gained unparalleled recognitions in both local and
oversea markets like Dubai, USA, Japan and Chili
etc.
Business extension towards the computer parts and
components market by linking with integrated
circuit (“IC”) suppliers to build its total solutions
was one of the Group’s motives last year and has
proved to be achievable. We have set up related
branch offices in Hong Kong, Xiamen and Shenzhen
of Mainland China and the business has been able
to generate satisfactory revenue. It has succeeded
in building our own portable Moving Picture
Experts Group or MPEG 4 player solution and
design in several major customers by cooperating
with some IC suppliers and design houses. Our
look is optimistic and we will devote more
emphasis and efforts to this business segment.
Our product development and diverse production
technology are accredited with excellent awards
from the relevant government authorities in
Mainland China. To name a few, Sunway has been
granted the “Key High-Tech Enterprise of China”,
“Enterprise Adhering to Contracts and Observing
Credit”, “全國百家企業科教興企示範企業”,
“Advanced Enterprise of Quality and Profit”,
“質量放心品牌企業”, “AAA Grade Enterprise” and
“Technology Development Centre”. In addition, the
Company’s own-branded electronic products such
as KENKO, GAVAO and SUNWAY have been
awarded the “Fujian Famous Brand” in 2004.
Coming up on the agenda will be the launch of
Radio Control Clocks (“RCC”), MP3 and Digital
Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (“Dect”)
phones. RCC are now particularly popular in USA,
Germany and Japan and Sunway has utilised such
outstanding time adjustment technology on its
products, which are ready to introduce to the
market in the not too distant future. The Dect
phone series, stimulated by market demands in
Asia, is undergoing final trials and is of anticipation
to contribute as a main growth driver for the Group
in the coming year.
SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 20046
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Possessing abundant and fundamental research and
development resources, we are also capable of
applying a higher production technology, “Chip On
Glass” (“COG”) onto our products. Followed by the
sophisticated development of high-density liquid
crystal display panels (“LCD”), Sunway has rapidly
started to capture the utilisation of such COG
technology in producing more advanced LCD
modules. We have the strong belief that the
application of these new production techniques will
elicit refinement in our business.
In light of the on-going development of the
electronic information industry and the ever-
changing global electronic product market, the
Group will strive to strengthen its existing core
product base through continuous innovations and
continue to seek for business opportunities,
targeting international markets by leveraging on its
own edges to welcome new challenges.
Finally, I would like to thank all employees for their
continuing dedication and contribution towards our
business success. Last but not least, I would also
like to extend my appreciation to all our business
partners and customers for their valuable support
throughout the years.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
REVIEW OF RESULTS AND OPERATION
The current year is revival and promising year for the Group. Improved commercial environment has brought
favourable results for and positive bearing on the performance of the Group. For the year ended 30
September 2004, the Group recorded a consolidated turnover of HK$899,173,000, a double-digit of 30.1%
revenue growth from a year ago. Pretax profit for the year was HK$43,651,000, compared to HK$21,937,000
a year ago, representing a substantial increase of 99.0%. The gross profit margin remained at about 12.5%
but net profit for the year experienced a significant jump to HK$35,076,000 from HK$17,303,000 a year ago.
The Group’s results for the year added highlights to the Group’s leading position in the industry. It remained
to be one of the largest manufacturers of electronic calculators and liquid crystal displays (“LCD”) in
Mainland China. Sales of electronic calculators and LCD rose 18.3% and 71.5% respectively. These two
business categories contributed 59.5% and 9.9% respectively of the Group’s turnover for the year. The sales
rise is due to the Group’s expansion on LCD production capacity, growing applications and demand for
electronic calculators and LCD, and also the aggressive efforts by the marketing and research and
development teams. The addition of new STN-LCD production lines continued to support the increasing
demand of LCDs for the year. The Group has introduced new products such as corded telephones and
multi-functional calculators etc. and was also successful in obtaining higher penetration in areas like Dubai,
Russia, Japan, Chili and Brazil.
During the year under review, the Group has also stepped into other market segments by trading computer
components and accessories, such as Random Access Memory (RAM) and providing total solution services.
This business contributed to 3.9% of the total turnover of the Group and was able to generate stable profit.
Branch offices, which were set up in Shenzhen and Xiamen of Mainland China, have enhanced the Group’s
sales and distribution network and have captured certain market share within the region. The new business
has succeeded in building our own portable Moving Picture Experts Group or MPEG4 player solution and
design in several major customers by cooperating with some integrated circuit (“IC”) suppliers and design
houses.
Finance costs went down significantly by 56.6% to HK$2,761,000 as the Group had fully repaid all the bank
loans during the year, which has revealed the strong liquidity and financial position of the Group.
SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 20048
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Account receivables also dropped by 16.5% with improved turnover days, on a gross basis, shortened to 81
days on average. Effective control measures have continued to monitor the debtor’s repayment time.
Improvements were also seen in the inventory level with turnover days, on a gross basis, lowered to 124 days.
Overall inventory balance lowered by 8.1% when compared to last year as the Group has tried its efforts to
maintain inventory at a reasonable level.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The Group normally finances its operations with internally generated cash flow and banking facilities provided
by its principal bankers in both Hong Kong and Mainland China. At 30 September 2004, the total
shareholders’ equity of the Group was approximately HK$884,773,000, an increase of 2.9% over last year. The
Group’s cash and bank balances stood at HK$182,507,000. The Group’s bank loans have been fully repaid
and trust receipt loans lowered to HK$11,610,000 this year. During the year, the Group did not use any
financial instruments for any hedging purposes. The gearing ratio, which was computed by dividing the
current liabilities and long term liabilities by shareholders’ equity, has been lowered from 25.6% last year to
20.7% at 30 September 2004. The Group is dedicated to maintaining a sound financial position and
improving the equity return to its shareholders.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
No repurchases of shares were made during the year.
During the year, 6,000,000 share options lapsed automatically as the grantee of these share options has
ceased to be an eligible employee in the Group. Save for the above, no share options were granted,
exercised, cancelled, or lapsed under the share option schemes of the Company during the year.
PLEDGE OF ASSETS
The Group’s investment property, certain leasehold land and buildings of the Group and time deposits of
HK$3,087,000 of the Group, together with the corporate guarantees given by the Company are used to
secure banking facilities for the Group. At 30 September 2004, such facilities were utilised to the extent of
approximately HK$11,610,000.
ANNUAL REPORT 2004 SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED9
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SHARE OFFER
The remaining balance of about HK$137.3 million of the net proceeds raised from the share offer in 1999 has
been allocated to the investment in the joint venture, Taiwan Communication (Fujian) Company Ltd. As
progress of the projects as implemented by Taiwan Communication (Fujian) Company Ltd. proceeded at a
slower pace than anticipated, the Directors are considering to allocate part of such proceeds to other
investment opportunities. If any specific targets are identified, the Directors will make announcement in
accordance with the applicable rules.
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES
The Group has approximately 19,000 full time management, administrative, technical and production staff in
Mainland China and Hong Kong. Their remuneration, promotion and salary review are assessed based on job
responsibilities, work performance, professional experiences and the prevailing industry practice. The Group’s
Directors and employees in Hong Kong joined the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme. Other staff benefits
include options granted or to be granted under the share option scheme.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND CURRENCY RISKS
Since most of the revenue generated from the sale of products and the payment for purchases of materials,
components, equipment and salaries are either made in Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi, or Hong Kong dollars
pegged currencies, no use of financial instruments for hedging purposes is considered necessary because the
exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
At 30 September 2004, the Company had contingent liabilities in relation to corporate guarantees executed
by the Company in favour of banks for general banking facilities granted to subsidiaries of the Company
amounting to HK$111,000,000.
SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 200410
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF LISTED SECURITIES
Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed
securities during the year.
PROSPECTS
The year was challenging for the Group who succeeded in turning in a strong performance by consolidating
its industry leadership and customer base. The Group has returned to its fast track of sales growth and was
proved by the significant revenue growth. The management believes that the Group in the coming year will
even have a better business boost as our sales order books have gone as far to April 2005.
New product research and development will be continued in order to keep abreast of consumer needs and
market trends. Backed up by remarkable performance and expertise in the electronics industry, the Group is
full of confidence to achieve a favourable sales surge in the coming year, predominantly in the market
leading core operations, namely the manufacture and sale of electronic calculators and components. We are
developing new products like Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (Dect) phones, which are now
commonly used in domestic and corporate environments, Radio Control Clocks, particularly popular in USA,
Germany and Japan, and MP3 players. We anticipate that all these products will appear in the market soon.
Apart from the well-established core businesses, the Group will actively extend its business development to
the computer parts and components market by linking with IC suppliers to build its total solutions. The
management has an aggressive look on the prospect of this business that forecasts an upward sales
performance. Coping with the expansion and with an aim on exploiting the target markets, namely consumer
market, premium products and toys market, personal computer and mobile phones markets and all LCD
related market segments, sales forces in Mainland China will be accordingly enlarged for the present branch
offices and the coming new branch office to be set up in Shanghai of Mainland China.
Subsequent to year end, the Group spreaded to Chengguan and Shanghang in Fujian Province where two
new production plants have been built for the production of electronic calculators and quartz crystals,
respectively. Having possessed a dominant position in major cities in Mainland China, the Group has also
considered to further expanding its facilities inland with abundant labour force to sustain and support future
growth.
ANNUAL REPORT 2004 SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED11
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We believe that with our existing titanic production base and a further investment in expanding our
manufacturing capabilities to keep pace with the expected demand growth is critical to sustaining our
leadership advantage. Supported by wide spread of distribution network, the Group can attain another level
of corporate development in the year ahead. Given the healthy financial position of the Group, we are
optimistic about the business prospects and the long-term future of the Group.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability under the Bermuda Companies Act1981 as an exempted company, on 18 August 1998. The registered office of the Company is located atClarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.
During the year, the Company’s principal activity was investment holding. The principal activities of thesubsidiaries comprised the design, development, manufacture and sale of a wide range of (1)electronics and related components and parts (including principally quartz crystals, liquid crystaldisplays, printed circuit boards and watch movements); and (2) consumer electronic products (includingprincipally electronic calculators, electronic watches and clocks and personal data assistants). Theywere also engaged in the trading of electronics and related components and parts. During the year,the Group commenced trading of computer components and accessories.
Save for the above, there were no significant changes in the nature of the Company’s and Group’sprincipal activities during the year.
2. IMPACT OF A REVISED HONG KONG STATEMENT OF STANDARD ACCOUNTING PRACTICE(“SSAP”)
The following revised SSAP and new Interpretation are effective for the first time for the current year’sfinancial statements and have had a significant impact thereon:
• SSAP 12 (Revised): “Income taxes”
• Interpretation 20: “Income taxes – Recovery of revalued non-depreciable assets”
The SSAP and Interpretation prescribe new accounting measurement and disclosure practices. Themajor effects on the Group’s accounting policies and on the amounts disclosed in these financialstatements of adopting the SSAP and Interpretation are summarised as follows:
SSAP 12 (Revised) prescribes the accounting for income taxes payable or recoverable, arising from thetaxable profit or loss for the current period (current tax); and income taxes payable or recoverable infuture periods, principally arising from taxable and deductible temporary differences and thecarryforward of unused tax losses (deferred tax).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 September 2004
2. IMPACT OF A REVISED HONG KONG STATEMENT OF STANDARD ACCOUNTING PRACTICE(“SSAP”) (continued)
The principal impact of the revision of this SSAP on these financial statements is described below:
Measurement and recognition:
• deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to the differences between capital allowances for taxpurposes and depreciation for financial reporting purposes and other taxable and deductibletemporary differences are generally fully provided for, whereas previously the deferred tax wasrecognised for timing differences only to the extent that it was probable that the deferred taxasset or liability would crystallise in the foreseeable future;
• a deferred tax liability has been recognised on the revaluation of the Group’s investmentproperty, leasehold land and buildings, plant, machinery and office equipment, and motorvehicles; and
• a deferred tax asset has been recognised for tax losses arising in the current/prior periods to theextent that it is probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which suchlosses can be utilised.
Disclosures:
• deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented separately on the balance sheet, whereaspreviously they were presented on a net basis; and
• the related note disclosures are now more extensive than previously required. These disclosuresare presented in notes 9 and 26 to the financial statements and include a reconciliation betweenthe accounting profit and the tax expense for the year.
Further details of these changes and the prior year adjustments arising from them are included in theaccounting policy for deferred tax in note 3 and in note 26 to the financial statements.
Interpretation 20 requires that a deferred tax asset or liability that arises from the revaluation of certainnon-depreciable assets and investment properties is measured based on the tax consequences thatwould follow from the recovery of the carrying amount of that asset through sale. This policy has beenapplied by the Group in respect of the revaluation of its investment property in the deferred taxcalculated under SSAP 12.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Statements of StandardAccounting Practice, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosurerequirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historicalcost convention, except for the periodic remeasurement of the investment property, certain fixedassets and long term investments, and short term investments, as further explained below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and itssubsidiaries for the year ended 30 September 2004. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed ofduring the year are consolidated from or to their effective dates of acquisition or disposal,respectively. All significant intercompany transactions and balances within the Group are eliminated onconsolidation.
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is a company whose financial and operating policies the Company controls, directly orindirectly, so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries are included in the Company’s profit and loss account to the extent ofdividends received and receivable. The Company’s interests in subsidiaries are stated at cost less anyimpairment losses.
Joint venture companies
A joint venture company is a company set up by contractual arrangement, whereby the Group andother parties undertake an economic activity. The joint venture company operates as a separate entityin which the Group and the other parties have an interest.
The joint venture agreement between the venturers stipulates the capital contributions of the jointventure parties, the duration of the joint venture and the basis on which the assets are to be realisedupon its dissolution. The profits and losses from the joint venture company’s operations and anydistributions of surplus assets are shared by the venturers, either in proportion to their respectivecapital contributions, or in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement.
ANNUAL REPORT 2004 SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 September 2004
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Joint venture companies (continued)
A joint venture company is treated as:
(a) a subsidiary, if the Company has unilateral control, directly or indirectly, over the joint venturecompany;
(b) a jointly-controlled entity, if the Company does not have unilateral control, but has joint control,directly or indirectly, over the joint venture company;
(c) an associate, if the Company does not have unilateral or joint control, but holds, directly orindirectly, generally not less than 20% of the joint venture company’s registered capital and is ina position to exercise significant influence over the joint venture company; or
(d) a long term investment, if the Company holds, directly or indirectly, less than 20% of the jointventure company’s registered capital and has neither joint control of, nor is in a position toexercise significant influence over, the joint venture company.
Jointly-controlled entity
A jointly-controlled entity is a joint venture company which is subject to joint control, resulting in noneof the participating parties having unilateral control over the economic activity of the jointly-controlledentity.
The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and reserves of the jointly-controlled entity isincluded in the consolidated profit and loss account and consolidated reserves, respectively. TheGroup’s interest in the jointly-controlled entity is stated in the consolidated balance sheet at theGroup’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control theother party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operatingdecisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or commonsignificant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.
SUNWAY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 200438
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 September 2004
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment of assets
An assessment is made at each balance sheet date of whether there is any indication of impairment ofany asset, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised for an assetin prior years may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the asset’srecoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of theasset’s value in use or its net selling price.
An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverableamount. An impairment loss is charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which it arises,unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the impairment loss is accounted for inaccordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.
A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimatesused to determine the recoverable amount of an asset, however not to an amount higher than thecarrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation), had no impairment lossbeen recognised for the asset in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is credited to the profit and loss account in the period in which itarises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the reversal of the impairment loss isaccounted for in accordance with the relevant accounting policy for that revalued asset.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets, other than investment property and construction in progress, are stated at cost orvaluation less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises itspurchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition andlocation for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after fixed assets have been put into operation,such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the profit and loss account in the period inwhich it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure hasresulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of thefixed asset, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of that asset.
Changes in the values of fixed assets, other than the investment property, are dealt with as movementsin the revaluation reserve. If the total of this reserve is insufficient to cover a deficit, on an individualasset basis, the excess of the deficit is charged to the profit and loss account. Any subsequentrevaluation surplus is credited to the profit and loss account to the extent of the deficit previouslycharged. On disposal of a revalued asset, the relevant portion of the revaluation reserve realised inrespect of previous valuations is transferred to retained profits as a movement in reserves.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost or valuation of each asset overits estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:
Leasehold land held in Mainland Chinaunder medium term land use rights Over the period of the land use rights
Leasehold land held in Hong Kongunder medium term leases Over the lease terms
Buildings 2% to 5%Leasehold improvements 10%Plant, machinery and office equipment 10%Moulds 10%Motor vehicles 10%Furniture and fixtures 10%
The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of a fixed asset recognised in the profit and loss account isthe difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset at thetime of disposal.
Construction in progress represents buildings and structures under construction, which is stated at costless any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction,and capitalised borrowing charges on related borrowed funds during the period of construction.Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of fixed assets when completedand ready for use.
Investment property
Investment property is an interest in land and building in respect of which construction work anddevelopment have been completed and which is intended to be held on a long term basis for itsinvestment potential, any rental income being negotiated at arm’s length. Such property is notdepreciated and is stated at its open market value on the basis of annual professional valuationperformed at the end of each financial year.
Changes in the value of investment property are dealt with as movements in the investment propertyrevaluation reserve. If the total of this reserve is insufficient to cover a deficit, on a portfolio basis, theexcess of the deficit is charged to the profit and loss account. Any subsequent revaluation surplus iscredited to the profit and loss account to the extent of the deficit previously charged.
On disposal of an investment property, the relevant portion of the investment property revaluationreserve realised in respect of previous valuations is released to the profit and loss account.

Leased assets
Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group, otherthan legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of theleased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded togetherwith the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets heldunder capitalised finance leases are included in fixed assets and depreciated over the shorter of thelease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The finance costs of such leases are chargedto the profit and loss account so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessors areaccounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group underoperating leases are included in non-current assets and rentals receivable under the operating leasesare credited to the profit and loss account on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where theGroup is the lessee, rentals payable under the operating leases are charged to the profit and lossaccount on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Long term investments
Long term investments in unlisted equity securities are intended to be held on a continuing basis foridentified long term purposes documented at the time of acquisition or change of purpose. Suchinvestments are stated at cost less any impairment losses, on an individual investment basis.
When a decline in the fair value of a security below its carrying amount has occurred, unless there isevidence that the decline is temporary, the carrying amount of the security is reduced to its fair value,as estimated by the directors. The amount of the impairment is charged to the profit and loss accountfor the period in which it arises. When the circumstances and events which led to the impairment invalue cease to exist and there is persuasive evidence that the new circumstances and events will persistfor the foreseeable future, the amount of the impairment previously charged is credited to the profitand loss account to the extent of the amount previously charged.
Long term investments in debt securities redeemable at fixed dates are intended to be held tomaturity and are stated at amortised cost less any impairment losses, on an individual investment basis.

Short term investments
Certificates of deposit redeemable at fixed dates are intended to be held to maturity and are stated atamortised cost less any impairment losses, on an individual investment basis. Investments other thancertificates of deposit were stated at their fair values at the balance sheet date, on an individualinvestment basis. The gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of such investments arecredited or charged to the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowances forobsolete or slow-moving items. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis and, in the case ofwork in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriateproportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimatedcosts to be incurred to completion and disposal.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the profit and loss account,or in equity if it relates to items that are recognised in the same or a different period directly in equity.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheetdate between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reportingpurposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
• except where the deferred tax liability arises from goodwill or the initial recognition of an assetor liability and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxableprofit or loss; and
• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with interests in subsidiaries and ajointly-controlled entity, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differencescan be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in theforeseeable future.

Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused taxassets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax assets andunused tax losses can be utilised:
• except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises fromthe initial recognition of an asset or liability and, at the time of the transaction, affects neitherthe accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with interests in subsidiaries and ajointly-controlled entity, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probablethat the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will beavailable against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part ofthe deferred tax asset to be utilised. Conversely, previously unrecognised deferred tax assets arerecognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all orpart of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to theperiod when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that havebeen enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and whenthe revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
(a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have beentransferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement tothe degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;
(b) rental income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms; and
(c) interest income, on a time proportion basis taking into account the principal outstanding andthe effective interest rate applicable.

13. FIXED ASSETS (continued)
The Group’s investment property located in Hong Kong was revalued on 30 September 2004 byChesterton Petty Limited, independent professionally qualified valuers, at HK$2,150,000, on an openmarket, existing use basis. A revaluation surplus of HK$550,000 has been credited to the profit andloss account resulting from the revaluation. The investment property is leased to a third party under anoperating lease, further summary details of which are included in note 30(a) to the financial statements.The investment property is held under a medium term lease.
In the opinion of the directors, there had been a material difference between the fair value and thecarrying value of the Group’s leasehold land and buildings, plant, machinery and office equipment, andmotor vehicles as at 30 September 2002 and therefore professional valuation had been made on 30September 2002. The Group’s leasehold land and buildings located in Hong Kong were revalued on 30September 2002 by Chesterton Petty Limited, at HK$7,800,000, on an open market, existing use basis.The Group’s leasehold land and buildings located in Mainland China and the Group’s plant, machineryand office equipment, and motor vehicles as at 30 September 2004, other than the additions andtransfer-in in the years ended 30 September 2003 and 2004, were revalued on 30 September 2002 byChesterton Petty Limited on a depreciated replacement cost basis, at HK$194,166,000,HK$327,827,000 and HK$13,458,000, respectively.
In the opinion of the directors, there was no material movement in fair value of those revalued fixedassets. Accordingly no professional valuation of such leasehold land and buildings, plant, machineryand office equipment, and motor vehicles was made as at 30 September 2004 because the directorsare of the opinion that the fair value of such revalued fixed assets at 30 September 2004 is notsignificantly different from the carrying amount at 30 September 2002 and that a further professionalvaluation would involve expense out of proportion to the value to the shareholders of the Group.
As at 30 September 2004, the carrying values of the leasehold land and buildings, plant, machineryand office equipment, and motor vehicles arising from the additions and transfer-in in the years ended30 September 2003 and 2004, amounted to HK$6,756,000, HK$41,258,000 and HK$2,299,000,respectively. In the opinion of the directors, the value of such fixed assets at 30 September 2004 is notsignificantly different from the carrying amount at 30 September 2004. Accordingly, no professionalvaluation of the additions and transfer-in in the years ended 30 September 2003 and 2004 in respect ofleasehold land and buildings, plant, machinery and office equipment, and motor vehicles was made asat 30 September 2004.
Had the Group’s leasehold land and buildings, plant, machinery and office equipment, and motorvehicles been carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, their carrying amounts wouldhave been approximately HK$157,489,000 (2003: HK$166,625,000), HK$180,311,000 (2003:HK$177,140,000) and HK$4,025,000 (2003: HK$3,148,000), respectively.
