StatementCEO’sandhairmanC

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to present the first annual report for eCargo Holdings Limited (the “Company” or “eCargo”) since the Company became a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) last year on 28 November 2014.

We are delighted to report that the Company is off to a strong start, having achieved a solid revenue performance of HK$22.6 million during the eight month period to 31 December 2014, underpinned by strong growth in merchant acquisitions. eCargo continued to develop as a “one-stop” eCommerce business partner for Brands and retailers of technology platform solution, omni-channel digital commerce and retail and integrated online and offline supply chain operations. The Company is carving out an expertise for merchants seeking to incubate or strengthen their Brand positioning and presence in the online market in China and the Asia-Pacific.

We believe the Company is well-positioned in China to help connect many Chinese and Asian consumers to international Brands from around the world through digital commerce. The China eTailing market, which totalled RMB2.8 trillion in 2014, experienced strong growth and momentum growing by 48.7% from the prior year. The eCommerce sales transaction value is

StatementCEO’salready the largest single country market in the world, having overtaken the United States in 2013-2014. According to estimates by industry experts, it is expected that the eCommerce market size in China will exceed the combined market size of the next five largest eCommerce markets by 2020. Based on this expected continued growth, we believe there is significant opportunity for the Company and our merchants to grow sales in the online channel in the years to come.

The Company continues to attract great people to our organisation.

Taken together with the strong operating history and experience of our founders and executive team, the Company is uniquely positioned to lead many of the world’s most renowned designer, fashion brands and retailers into a new frontier of growth in the world’s largest online shopping market here in China. It has been an exciting and busy year. This is just the beginning.

Financial performanceAs anticipated, the Company incurred an operating loss for the period ended 31 December 2014. During the period, the Company

Zealand Post and Super Retail Group.

The Company did not propose any dividend distributions or buy backs during the period ended 31 December 2014.

Evolving our strategyeCargo was established with the vision to be a “one-stop” eCommerce enabler and business partner for designer Brands, retailers, and branded manufacturers who wish to develop or further enhance their eCommerce businesses in China and Australia. During the year

earned a gross profit of HK$8.8 million and reported a normalized loss of HK$21.6 million, taking into account significant non-operating items such as a non-recurring expense of HK$8.8 million related to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s shares (“Shares”) on the ASX and a foreign exchange loss of HK$6.4 million due to the depreciation of the A$ against the HK$.

The Company achieved significant momentum in attracting new merchants, well ahead of initial expectations. These include a number of leading Australian and international brands: Esprit, Jeanswest, Karen Millen, La Perla, New Look, New

Mr. John Lau and Mr. Christopher Lau

we continued to invest heavily in our infrastructure, people development and marketing of our Brand merchants. Our eCoreOS technology platform was strengthened and further development took place to provide for additional functions and improved operating stability.

On 13 February 2015, the Company announced its first major acquisition of a leading Australian digital commerce player Amblique Pty Limited (“Amblique”). Amblique has developed into one of Australia’s top eCommerce service providers and consultancy firms providing omni-channel

strategies, retail practice and site optimisation services to help retailers and Brand owners simply “sell more”. Amblique currently serve a diverse range of merchants and well-known brands in Australia including: Cotton On, Michael Hill International, Sportscraft, Matt Blatt and Tarocash amongst numerous others.

The acquisition of Amblique marks a key milestone in the Company’s expansion strategy through the acquisition of complementary businesses and capabilities. We believe the combination of Amblique’s Demandware and enterprise solution expertise and team in Australia and New Zealand combined with eCargo’s existing eCommerce platform solutions, China eCommerce and global supply chain capabilities shall immediately enable eCargo to provide an expanded service and solution offer to eCargo’s existing and potential customers.

Amblique shall remain focused on providing Demandware solutions to Brands and retailers and look for opportunities to integrate Demandware front-end with

eCargo’s proprietary middleware eCoreOS platform in order to provide a seamless integration and operation for Brand merchants to manage operations with different major eCommerce marketplaces, including Tmall and JD.com.

As the Company continues to embark on the dynamic eCommerce journey in China, we are observing numerous opportunities in growing into other product categories, the development of O2O capabilities and the development of eMarketplace-type platforms. The Company shall continue to monitor such opportunities closely and remain nimble to evolve our strategy in the pursuit of such suitable opportunities for the Company as they develop.

Our people The Company and its people shall continue to be our greatest asset and competitive advantage. Commitment, dedication and loyalty is absolutely critical to our business. We are building a terrific organisation with a culture to embrace collaboration and creativity, encourage the iteration of ideas to address complex technical challenges and promote a working environment that encourages open dialogue or what we would like to call “over communication in breadth and depth”.

On 25 February 2015, the Company announced the appointment of Ms. Christina Cheung as the Chief Financial Officer. We are excited and delighted to have attracted someone of Ms. Christina Cheung’s calibre to join the Company. She is a seasoned executive with impressive credentials in business development, financial management and mergers and acquisition. We believe that Ms. Christina Cheung can contribute significantly to our organisation in the development of sound, effective and efficient management, operational and financial processes to cope with our continued rapid growth.

We are grateful for the contributions made to date by the various members of our team. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to thank them for their continued hard work and energy.

Our directionAs we move into 2015, we expect to begin realising some of the benefits of our early investments and a number of strategic initiatives. We are confident in the growing ecosystem we are building at eCargo that will enable us to deliver for our Brands and Shareholders. This is a time of opportunity for us and we will continue to advance quickly, investing in important areas of our business and enhancing our services. We shall to continue to evolve as an organisation, with an aim to build a world-class Company and a leader in eCommerce technologies and operations.

We would like to thank you, as a Shareholder of the Company, for your continued support. We look forward to meeting with you at our upcoming Annual General Meeting.

eCommerceeCommerce refers to businesses and consumers buying and selling goods and services online. The term eCommerce encapsulates all online activity, whether it be business to business (“B2B”) (or “wholesale”), business to consumer (“B2C”), or consumer to consumer (“C2C”) online activities.

The basic stages of B2C eCommerce can be summarised as follows:

• Consumers choose a product or service on a website;

• Consumers pay electronically on the website using online credit card facilities or via a third party payment provider (for example using Alipay or PayPal);

• Merchant receives the order and payment; and

• Order is fulfilled by post, courier or other delivery service.

The benefits of eCommerce to the consumer include the speed, efficiency and convenience of the transaction, the ability to make product comparisons and the sourcing of lower prices. The benefits of eCommerce to the Merchant are reduced overhead costs, shorter time frame in consummating a transaction and increased consumer reach.

The global eCommerce economy is projected to reach a turnover of US$4.2 trillion by 2016, with over 3 billion users transacting online (Source: “The Internet economy in the G20”, The Boston Consulting Group, 2012).

eTailing in ChinaIn the China Central Government’s twelfth five year plan, eCommerce was identified as one of the priority sectors for development. The Central Government has recognized that the eCommerce sector makes a significant contribution to employment (Source: “China’s connected consumers”, KPMG, 25 Feb 2014).

In China, Central Government policies have helped to drive greater broadband and 3G coverage across the country, have encouraged the development of the mobile network, and have influenced the growth of online payment transactions.

eCommerce accelerates the growth of domestic consumer demand, and has become a major government focus as it seeks to shift the economy from an investment driven growth model to a domestic consumption driven growth model. Service segments in eCommerce technology, operation outsourcing, digital marketing and production, supply chain management and logistics operations all stand to benefit from the country’s transformation agenda.

Industry sizeChina’s eTailing industry has posted 120% compound annual growth since 2003 according to the “China’s e-tail Revolution: Online shopping as a catalyst for growth” issued by the McKinsey Global Institute in March 2013.

While independent research house projections for the China eTailing market vary depending on the components they include in their varied definitions of eTailing products, all research houses predict high growth for the market in the next 4-5 years.

Based on forecast data prepared by iResearch and presented below, the value of B2C online shopping in China will reach A$373 billion in 2017.

Estimated value of B2C online shopping in China (billions) 2015 2016 2017B2C RMB 1,435 1,778 2,169B2C A$ 247 306 373Growth of B2C year on year 44% 24% 22%

It should be noted that iResearch excludes from its data some segments of B2C purchases, including online travel, so the entire B2C market is larger than the above table indicates. However, it highlights the key factors of interest, being the market’s already significant size, and its anticipated growth over the next few years. (Source: “2013 China Internet Economy Report”, iResearch Consulting Group, 18 February, 2014).

Industry growth driversThe key drivers of growth in the eTailing industry in China are:• The largest, and still growing, online population in

the world (over 800 million internet users);• The Chinese people’s familiarity with purchasing

online;• The relative under development of bricks and

mortar stores in the lower tier cities, rural and remote areas meaning online purchases are the main market channel for many Chinese;

• An increasing number of online users who choose to connect using a mobile device, meaning purchases are taking place more frequently;

• The use of social media sites and bloggers to influence their followers to purchase goods online;

• The increasing recognition by the Chinese people of international brands, driven both by international tourism and internet information; and

• The increasing disposal income of the rising Chinese middle class.

eTailing promotes associated value chain activitiesExamples

Online purchase cycle Related industry Definition USA China

Find and compare Marketing• Online ad• Service

• Online marketing channels such as search engines, portal websites, mobile channels

• Service providers helping Merchants optimise marketing activity

Purchase Payment • Third-party service providers that offer reliable payment methods (e.g., credit card, direct debit, etc.)

Fulfillment Warehousing • Companies providing services, including physical storage and order fulfillment, or warehouse management service without physical fulfillment

Delivery Delivery • Express companies that provide delivery service, some may provide delivery tracking service

Operation IT • Software developers that provide software such as ERP, CRM, and other small online tools, may also provide consulting services

Integrated • Online business operators to whom brands and Merchants can outsource end-to-end or partial eCommerce operations

(Source: “China’s e-tail revolution Online shopping as a catalyst for growth”, McKinsey Global Institute, March 2013)

Despite the demand in China for western brands, according to Thibault Villet CEO & Co-Founder, Glamour Sales: “Only 5 of the top 60 brands operate their own online sites. They have been late with their online strategy because they have focused on expanding their bricks and mortar network in China. Secondly, they did not anticipate how quickly Chinese consumers would shift to online purchasing.” This represents a significant opportunity for eCargo to grow with various world-class brands looking to enter China’s eTailing market in the coming years.

eTailing support serviceseCargo is involved in the eTailing support services industry sub-sector in China. The growth of the industry sub-sector is linked to the growth of eTailing in general. It is widely accepted that 10% to 12% of eTailing total revenue is expended on support services, which include the range of activities detailed in the below graphic. (Source: “China’s e-tail revolution: Online shopping as a catalyst for growth”, McKinsey Global Institute, March 2013).

Reportexpectations and represented the Group’s growth strategy in developing the organisation and continuous investment in research and development of its eCoreOS eCommerce technology platform.

On 13 February 2015, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, eCargo Enterprise Limited, completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of a leading Australian eCommerce consultancy, Amblique Pty Limited (“Amblique”) for A$6.0 million (equivalent to HK$36.3 million), providing an expanded services and solution offering to eCargo’s existing merchants.

Amblique is one of the Australia’s leading eCommerce consultancy and technology services providers, providing omni-channel digital commerce strategies, retail practice and site optimisation services to help retailers and merchants “sell more”. Amblique currently serve a diverse range of merchants and well-known brands in Australia, including: Cotton On, Michael Hill International, Sportscraft, Matt Blatt and Tarocash amongst numerous others. Amblique currently employs a team of about 50 professionals based in Sydney and engage a development team of 12, based in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Amblique remains focused on providing Demandware solutions to retailers and merchants.

During the period and up to the date of this report, Mr. Christopher Lau and Mr. John Lau are also directors in certain subsidiaries of the Company. Other Directors of the Company’s subsidiaries during the period and up to the date of this report included: Mr. Gavin Custance.

Review of operationsThe Group is a provider of eCommerce technologies, integrated offline and online supply chain operations, online omni-channel retail operations and digital commerce solutions for merchants or retailers seeking to initiate, incubate, or strengthen their presence in eCommerce in China and international markets. Apart from the general eCommerce market, the key target segment is fashion and apparel.

According to the “China’s e-tail Revolution: Online shopping as a catalyst for growth” issued by the McKinsey Global Institute, China’s online retail (“eTailing”) industry has posted 120% compound annual growth since 2003. According to this report, the fashion and apparel segment was the top product category for eTailing in China in 2011 by sales.

The Group’s businesses involved in the eTailing support services industry is linked to the growth of the overall

eTailing industry in general. It is widely accepted that 10% to 12% of eTailing total revenue is expended on support services. With the lagging of eTailing support infrastructure in China, there is an unique market opportunity for eCargo to fill the gap.

The functional and presentation currency of the Company as of the reporting date is Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”). Since inception on 22 April 2014 and through the period ended 31 December 2014, the Group generated revenue of HK$22.6 million.

The Group earned a gross profit of HK$8.8 million for the period and reported a normalized loss of HK$21.6 million.

The normalized loss represents a net loss excluding one-time charges of HK$8.8 million related to the initial public offering (“IPO”) share issuance in November 2014 and a foreign exchange loss of HK$6.4 million as Australian Dollar (“A$”) monetary items were translated into HK$.

As at 31 December 2014, there were 535,000,000 shares on issue and net assets amounted to HK$292.6 million, which would convert to a net asset backing of HK$54.7 cents per share.

The acquisition of Amblique is a key component of the Company’s expansion strategy to acquire complementary businesses and capabilities. The combination of Amblique’s Demandware and enterprise solutions expertise in Australia and New Zealand with eCargo’s eCommerce platform solutions, China eCommerce and global supply chain capabilities will immediately enable eCargo to provide an expanded service and solution offer to its existing Australian retail and fashion customers.

The Group has achieved significant momentum in attracting new merchants, having contracted with over 30 merchants to date. These include a number of leading Australian and international brands including: Esprit, Jeanswest, Karen Millen, La Perla, Nelly.com, New Look, New Zealand Post and Super Retail Group.

eCargo plans to continue its business development efforts by emphasising the “one-stop” comprehensive menu of services available to brands and retailers, leveraging the established credibility of the Company founders

and executive management team as well as supporting the development of merchants through the specialised capability of eCargo in conjunction with experienced digital marketing agents and online to offline (“O2O”) strategies with merchants offline channels.

It is in the Company’s view that the growth and development of China’s eTailing market will continue to see rapid change in the way in which brands and retailers market to, and connect with, China’s online consumers.

On 28 November 2014, the Company successfully listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The net proceeds from the Offering was approximately HK$223.3 million, after deducting underwriting fees and relevant listing expenses.

The Group closely reviews and monitors its foreign exchange exposure. As at 31 December 2014, total cash and cash equivalent balance in foreign currency amounted HK$94.5 million, primarily denominated in A$, which represented approximately 49% of the Group’s total bank balance of

HK$191.1 million as at 31 December 2014.

As at 31 December 2014, the Group had no bank loan or non-current liability outstanding. The Group will continue to secure financing (including both equity and debt) as and when the need arises.

Environmental policy and regulationThe Group’s environmental management policy is to promote sustainable economic development in all business units, while, at the same time, endeavoring to measure the impact of activities on the environment and improve the results in terms of their environment-friendliness; lessen the consumption of natural resources by re-use, recycling or reduced use of materials, and using products that are recyclable or come from sustainable sources; and apply environment-friendly practices in all our offices and facilities.

Risks related to the Group’s businesses and risks related to the industry in which the Group operatesRisk Description of risk Risk mitigation strategies

Risk that eCargo’s marketing strategy to recruit merchants is not effective.

There is a risk that eCargo’s marketing strategy to engage merchants is not successful. This would result in eCargo failing to meet revenue targets and have a material and adverse effect on the operating results of the Group.

eCargo has a clear marketing strategy in place. In the event such a marketing strategy proves to be unsuccessful, eCargo shall refocus and look to qualified professional advisors in the industry to assist to refine its marketing strategy.

Risk that eCargo’s management and key personnel may discontinue their services.

eCargo’s businesses and future success heavily depends upon the continued services of management and other key personnel. If one or more of eCargo’s management or key personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, eCargo might not be able to replace them easily or at all. eCargo’s businesses may be severely disrupted.

eCargo has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee chaired by an independent non-executive director of the Company. In the event any key personnel were to leave eCargo, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee would aim to ensure a suitable replacement were found within the timeframes required and not at unreasonable cost to eCargo.

In the event a key person were to breach the restrictive covenants in their employment agreements, eCargo would weigh up the cost/benefit ratio of enforcing such provisions.

Risk that eCargo’s intellectual property may be used without authorisation or stolen.

eCargo relies on a combination of copyright, nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect its intellectual property rights.

To protect its trade secrets and other proprietary information, employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators are required to enter into confidentiality agreements. These agreements might not provide meaningful protection for the trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorised use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information.

eCargo has tried to mitigate the risk of unauthorised use of intellectual property by only disclosing sensitive intellectual property to particular employees, consultants, advisors, collaborators and merchants on a “needs to know basis”. eCargo requires all such employees, consultants, advisors, collaborators and merchants to enter into confidentiality agreements to protect the confidentiality of such intellectual property. Where necessary eCargo will enforce its intellectual property rights through litigation or arbitration.

In regards to all new merchants, eCargo will ensure that robust intellectual property safeguards are contained in their respective Service Agreements.

Risk that eCargo’s merchants’ online revenues are below expectations.

There is a risk that eCargo’s merchants do not achieve online revenues according to expectations driven by a number of factors including but not limited to the marketing strategy deployed, merchandise mix, product availability and pricing. This would result in eCargo failing to meet revenue targets and have a material and adverse effect on the operating results of the Group.

eCargo has tried to mitigate this risk by redefining its target merchant pipeline and focusing marketing efforts on merchants who have a proven product and well-recognised brands that are relatively more likely to succeed in generating online sales. eCargo shall continue to monitor this closely and allocate resources in accordance with merchants online sales activity and potential.

Risk Description of risk Risk mitigation strategies

Risk that increases in wages for information technology professionals will increase net cash outflow and gross margin and net profit may decline.

Historically, wages for comparably skilled technical personnel in the Chinese and Hong Kong information technology services industries have been lower than in developed countries, such as in Australia, the United States or Europe. In recent years, wages particularly in China’s information technology services industry have increased and may continue to increase at faster rates. Wage increases will increase eCargo’s cost of software solutions and information technology services of the same quality and increase its cost of operations. As a result, eCargo’s gross margin and net profit may decline.

eCargo will need to pay employees market rate in order to attract and retain skilled employees. eCargo will, however, try to offset increases in wages by increases in efficiency and productivity.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial StatementsThe directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur 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 section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1 General informationThe Company and Group are principally engaged in the development and provision of eCommerce technologies, integrated offline and online supply chain operations, and provision of digital commerce solutions and services.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong. The address of its registered office is 13103N, ATL Logistics Centre B, 3 Kwai Chung Container Terminals, New Territories, Hong Kong.

These financial statements are presented in HK$, unless otherwise stated.

These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2015.

2 Summary of significant accounting policiesThe principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the period presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparationThe consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The consolidated financial statements cover the period from 22 April 2014 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2014. This is the first financial period and no comparative period presented.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

The Group has not early adopted these new and amended standards in the consolidated financial statements for the period. The Group plans to apply the above new and amended standards when they become effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and amended standards, which are relevant to the Group’s operation and may give rise to changes in accounting policies, disclosure or measurement of certain items in the financial statements. However, the Group is not yet in a position to ascertain their impact on its results of operations and financial position.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)

The HKICPA has also published a number of amendments to the existing standards and interpretations under its annual improvements project. These amendments are not expected to have a significant financial impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Group.

2.2 Consolidation(a) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.

(b) Separate financial statementsInvestments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

2.3 Segment ReportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and making strategic decisions. The chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”) are the key management personnel of the Group and may include members of the Board of Directors.

2.4 Related parties A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

(i) the party, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (ii) has an interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (iii) has joint control over the Group;

(ii) the party is an associate;

(iii) the party is a joint venture;

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.4 Related parties (Continued)

(iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or its holding companies;

(v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv); or

(vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v).

2.5 Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in HK$ which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency and the Group’s presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balancesForeign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. 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 within administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within “other losses – net”.

(c) Group companiesThe results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

(b) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

(c) all resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and that cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is recognised. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Leasehold improvements over the shorter of remaining lease term and useful life

Furniture and fixtures 20%

Office equipment 20%

Computer equipment 33.33%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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. (Note 2.8)

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised within administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.7 Intangible assets - softwareCosts associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

• It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;

• Management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;

• There is an ability to use or sell the software product;

• It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;

• Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.7 Intangible assets - software (Continued)

• The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed ten years. The amortisation expense is recognised in administrative expenses of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.8 Impairment of non-financial assetsAssets 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 disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.9 Financial assetsThe Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, deposits and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet.

Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.10 Impairment of financial assets - assets carried at amortised cost The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.10 Impairment of financial assets - assets carried at amortised cost (Continued)

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

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 (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.11 Trade and other receivablesTrade receivables are amounts due from customers for services rendered in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalentsIn the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with original maturities of three months or less.

2.13 Share capitalOrdinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds.

2.14 Trade and other payablesTrade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.14 Trade and other payables (Continued)

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.15 Current and deferred income tax(a) Current income tax

The tax expenses for the period comprise current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(b) Deferral income taxInside basis differencesDeferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not recognised if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is recognised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Outside basis differencesDeferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.15 Current and deferred income tax(Continued)

(c) OffsettingDeferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.16 Employee benefits(a) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

(b) Bonus planThe expected cost of bonus payment is recognised as a liability when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Liabilities for bonus plan are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

(c) Pension obligations The Group operates a defined contribution plan in Hong Kong, which is the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“MPF Scheme”) established under and pursuant to the Mandatory Provident Fund Ordinance.

The MPF Scheme is generally funded by the payments from employees and by the Group. Contributions to the scheme by the Group and employees are calculated as a percentage of employees’ basic salaries. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plan are expensed as incurred and are reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the scheme prior to vesting fully in the contributions.

The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee-administered funds.

2.17 ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2.17 Provisions (Continued)

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.18 Revenue recognitionRevenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the rendering of services, in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities, as described below.

(a) Sales of servicesThe Group engages in the provision of eCommerce technologies, integrated offline and online supply chain operations, and provision of digital commerce solutions and services. For sales of services, revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered or by reference to stage of completion of the specific transaction and assessed on the basis of actual services provided as a proportion of the total service to be provided.

(b) Interest income Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. Interest income is classified as “interest income” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.19 Operating leases (as the lessee)Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

3 Financial risk management3.1 Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital, which comprises share capital and reserves attributable to owners of the Group, are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure optimal capital structure and shareholder returns, taking into consideration the future capital requirements of the Group and capital efficiency, prevailing and projected profitability, projected operating cash flows, projected capital expenditures and projected strategic investment opportunities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

3 Financial risk management (Continued)3.2 Credit risk

At the balance sheet date, 78% of the total receivable was due from the Group’s largest 5 debtors. Accordingly, the Group’s consolidated results would be heavily affected by the financial capability of these debtors to fulfill their obligations with the Group. The Group’s credit risk monitoring activities relating to the debtors include review of the credit profile, business prospects, background and their financial capacity.

Substantially all of the bank deposits and cash at banks are held in a major financial institution, which management believes are of high credit quality.

3.3 Liquidity riskThe Group adopts prudent liquidity risk management and maintains sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Group’s financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables and amounts due to related parties, are due within 12 months and approximate their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.

3.4 Foreign exchange riskThe Group mainly operates in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to Renminbi (“RMB”), A$, United States Dollars (“US$”) and GBP.

Foreign exchange risk arises mainly from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities.

The Group manages its foreign exchange risks by performing regular review and monitoring its foreign exchange exposure. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy.

At 31 December 2014, if HK$ had strengthened/weakened by 5% against the A$ with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would change by approximately HK$4,699,000, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of the bank deposits and trade receivables denominated in A$.

At 31 December 2014, if HK$ had strengthened/weakened by 5% against the RMB with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would change by approximately HK$460,000, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of the trade receivables denominated in the RMB.

The foreign exchange exposure for the US$ is considered minimal as HK$ is pegged with the US$.

3.5 Cash flow and fair value interest rate riskAs the Group has no material interest-bearing assets and liabilities, its income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. Therefore, the Group is not exposed to significant cash flow and fair value interest rate risk.

3 Financial risk management (Continued)3.6 Fair value estimation

The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, trade and other payables, and amounts due from related parties. The carrying amounts less impairment of these balances are a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to their short term maturities.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgmentsEstimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectation 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 addressed below.

(a) Determination of functional currencyThe Group measures foreign currency transactions in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries. In determining the functional currencies of the Group entities, judgement is required to determine the currency that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services and of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of goods and services. The functional currencies of the Group entities are determined based on management’s assessment of the economic environment in which the entities operate and the entities’ process of determining the sales prices.

(b) Fair value of intangible assets acquiredThe fair value of intangible assets is measured based on the discounted cash flow method. The calculation use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a three-year period. Cash flows beyond the three-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates that do not exceed the long-term average growth for the eCommerce business in which the Group operates. The projection involves estimates of market conditions and the Group’s ability to utilise the intangible assets. Management reassess these estimates at each statement of financial position date, or whenever there is a significant change in the economic circumstances in the eCommerce industry.

(c) Impairment of trade and other receivables The Group’s management determines the provision for impairment of trade and other receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of the receivables. This assessment is based on the credit history of its customers and other debtors and the current market condition, and requires the use of judgments and estimates. Management reassesses the provision at each statement of financial position date. F

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgments (Continued)(d) Impairment of non-financial assets

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group’s assets which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, recoverable amounts of these assets need to be determined. The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to disposal and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate fair value less costs to disposal because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which require significant judgement relating to items such as level of sales, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Group uses all readily available information in determining amounts that are reasonable approximations of recoverable amounts, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. Changing the assumptions selected by management to determine the level, if any, of impairment could significantly affect the Group’s reported financial condition and results of operations.

(e) Useful lives of intangible assetsManagement determines the estimated lives and related depreciation charges for its intangible assets. Management will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different from those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

5 Segment informationThe executive directors of the Company are the Group’s CODM. Management have determined the operating segments based on the information reviewed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance.

The CODM assesses the operating financial performance of the Group based on a measure of operating profits and losses before tax. The CODM takes into consideration the economic benefits of the eCommerce technology services and supply chain management businesses as a whole as the CODM considers such businesses are mutually dependent and inseparable. As such, no segment information is presented.

No geographical information is presented as the Group generates all revenue by entities operating in Hong Kong and non-current assets are located in Hong Kong as of the reporting date.

The following information is provided on an annual basis to comply with the conditions on listing on ASX.

TakeoversThe Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Takeovers Code”) regulates takeovers and mergers in Hong Kong and applies to public companies in Hong Kong. The Takeovers Code provides that when a person, or two or more persons acting in concert collectively:• acquire 30% or more of the voting rights of a

company; or• hold not less than 30% but not more than 50%

of the voting rights of the company and acquires more than 2% of the voting rights of a company from the lowest percentage holding of that person or persons collectively within a 12 month period,

then a general offer must be made to all other shareholders of the company.

Compulsory acquisitionPart 13 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance sets out the right to buy out minority shareholders. If within four months of making an offer to buy shares, a company has acquired 90% in value of the shares, the acquiring company may give notice to the remaining shareholders that it desires to acquire their shares. Provided that notice is given within five months of the original offer, the acquiring company is entitled and bound to acquire those shares on the same terms as the offer.

Substantial Share/CDI holder noticesPart XV of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance requires the disclosure by substantial shareholders, directors, shadow directors and chief executives of a listed corporation (collectively “Corporate Insiders”) of their interests in the securities of a listed corporation when their interests reach the notifiable percentage level.
