Chairmans Message
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Great Group Holdings Limited, it is my honour to present to you the Groups maiden financial report since our listing on 25 September 2009 for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 (FY2009). FY2009 is indeed a challenging year. The financial crisis affecting the world markets, especially EU and the US caught many unprepared. Crisis in Chinese (WeiJi) means opportunity amongst risks. For Great Group, we turned adversity into advantage instead. We have taken this opportunity to successfully list on the SGX Main-board; Great Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries have made their mark in the global arena and are well positioned to manifest globally. Being prepared, we were able to weather the effects of the economic crisis with minimum impact, yet limiting the extent of risk we are exposed to. The management reviewed and made timely adjustments to the expansion strategy of the Group to obtain higher market share and enhance awareness of our own brand--GRAT.UNIC. In FY2009, GRAT.UNIC brand achieved sales of RMB 60 million or growth of 23.5%. GRAT.UNIC was awarded 2009 Fujian Provinces Renowned Brand Award in recognition of our Brands strong growth and reputation. Streamlining of our production processes and cost-cutting measures have also resulted in improvement in overall efficiency. The Group faces the economic crisis optimistically. Our products are well positioned and well received, as reflected in our improved sales numbers. The Group has a record sale of RMB516 million representing a 28.81% growth in sales in FY2009. We have also achieved an increase in net income of RMB75 million for FY2009, a net increase of 6.0% over FY2008 We envision the following for 2010 and beyond: 1. Continue with our efforts to gain market share with a focus on the domestic market. We plan to set up a marketing and operational base in Shanghai to increase the brand awareness and build a wider distribution network for our Groups Brand; 2. Develop a state of the art facility for Great Group. The construction of Great Group Industrial Park at the Jiangnan High-Tech Information Industrial Zone has commenced in December 2009. The first phase of the new industrial park is expected to be completed and be fully operational in early 2011. New and technologically advanced equipment and facilities will be installed, and by extension, reduce costs and help improve margins; 3. Strengthen the internal controls of the Group, enhance risk management, increase productivity through cost-cutting measures, branding, product enhancement and repositioning; 4. Expand the research and design capacity to enhance the variety of our GRAT.UNIC products in order to cater to the different segments and demands of customers and capture a larger market share in China; 5. Set up an international distribution and sales centre in Hong Kong to foster closer relationship and rapport with both existing and prospective contract manufacturing customers. The 2010 market presents a challenging and exciting front. Going forward, Great Group strives to reach greater heights with a view to delivering greater returns for each and every shareholder. We greatly appreciate and thank the shareholders for their support and trust in the Group in this new financial year; together we shall prosper.

Operations Review

Revenue
Our performance for the financial year ended on 31 December 2009 (FY2009) surpassed that of last financial year that ended on 31 December 2008 (FY2008). In FY2008, we recorded a revenue of RMB400.8 million and a net profit of RMB70.8 million, while in FY2009 we recorded RMB516.3 million and RMB75.0 million respectively. The increase in revenue for FY2009 versus FY2008 is mainly attributable to the change in product mix whereby our contract manufacturing for more complicated designs and large-sized products with higher average selling price were sold during the financial year.

PRofitability
Even though the Group has improvement in the revenue, the Group has recorded a decrease in gross profit. This is due to the increased cost of sales and thus lower gross profit margin in FY2009 as compared to FY2008 respectively. The Groups gross profit decreased by approximately RMB6.4 million or 6.2% from RMB104.3 million in FY2008 to RMB97.9 million in FY2009 despite the increase of 28.8% in sales in FY2009. The Groups gross profit margin decreased from 26.0% in FY2008 to 19.0% in FY2009. The decreases in the gross profit margin for FY2009 versus FY2008 were mainly due to the downward pressure on our selling price, particularly of our contract manufacturing products, caused by the global financial crisis and depreciation of the USD, in which the Groups substantial sales were traded, against RMB. other income increased by approximately RMB3.9 million or 162.8% from RMB2.4 million in FY2008 to RMB6.3 million in FY2009. The increases were driven by an increase in government incentive, for the Groups listing on SGX and being one of the big income tax payer in Quanzhou PRC, of approximately RMB2.5 million. On top of the government incentive, the Group also received Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) export and other incentives of approximately RMB3.0 million from the PRC government. Selling and distribution costs decreased by 17.7% from RMB8.0 million in FY2008 to RMB6.6 million in FY2009. Lower selling and distribution cost is due to less advertising, entertainment and design activities which is in line with the managements effort to manage cost. administrative expenses increased by 91.9% from RMB6.2 million in FY2008 to RMB11.9 million in FY2009. The increase is mainly due to IPO related expenses and higher staff salaries and related costs arising from additional key management staff and directors pursuant to the Companys listing. The Group started to incur professional expenses relating to compliance activities from the third quarter of FY2009 onwards. This is also one of the reasons for lower profit achieved during the year. other operating expenses in the current financial year of RMB11,000 is RMB3.2 million less than the other operating expenses recorded in FY2008. This was due to foreign exchange gain arising from fixed deposit maintained in SGD. income tax expense decreased by 47.6% to RMB8.7 million in FY2009 which is in line with the decrease in profit before income tax.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by RMB74.8 million or 226.0% from RMB33.1 million as at 31 December 2008 to RMB107.9 million as at 31 December 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to IPO proceeds.

Operations Review

Trade and other receivables increased by RMB65.9 million or 50.3% to RMB197.0 million as at 31 December 2009 from RMB131.1 million as at 31 December 2008. The increase in trade and other receivables was mainly due to higher trade receivables balance. More sales were made in the fourth quarter of FY2009 (4Q09) as compared to the corresponding period. Inventories as at 31 December 2009 were approximately RMB30.4 million representing a decrease of 10.6% or RMB3.6 million from RMB34.0 million as at 31 December 2008. More sales were made in the 4Q09 as compared to the corresponding period, causing inventory levels as at current year end to be lower than the previous year end. Other current assets as at 31 December 2009, were approximately RMB1.6 million from approximately RMB3.1 million as at 31 December 2008, reflecting a decrease of approximately 48.4% or RMB1.5 million. The decrease was mainly due to the offsetting of capitalised IPO expenses against IPO proceeds and lesser prepaid expenses in FY2009. The Groups property,plant and equipment increased by approximately RMB2.0 million or 11.5% to RMB19.4 million as at 31 December 2009 from RMB17.4 million as at 31 December 2008 as the Group incurred additional cost for construction-in-progress relating to the new land use right during the financial year. As at 31 December 2009, the Groups intangible assets increased by approximately RMB15.1 million or 943.8% to RMB16.7 million from RMB1.6 million as at 31 December 2008. This was mainly due to the purchase of land use right for the new premise at the Jiangnan High-Tech Information Industrial Zone. Trade and other payables decreased by approximately RMB3.8 million or 30.9% to RMB8.5 million as at 31 December 2009 from RMB12.3 million as at 31 December 2008. The decrease was mainly due to lower trade payables, which were in line with the decrease in raw material purchases in 4Q09, and lower other payables due to lesser accruals for other operating expenses as at 31 December 2009 as compared to 31 December 2008. The borrowings increased by approximately RMB4.2 million or 10.0% to RMB46.2 million as at 31 December 2009 from RMB42.0 million as at 31 December 2008. New short term loans were taken up by our PRC subsidiaries in 4Q09 as working capital. Current income tax liabilities decreased by RMB8.2 million or 62.1% to approximately RMB5.0 million as at 31 December 2009 from approximately RMB13.2 million as at 31 December 2008. The decrease was mainly due to less tax obligation of a subsidiary. The Groups operations continue to generate positive cash flows of RMB21.0 million in FY2009. After payment for investing activities of RMB16.3 million, which substantially attributed to purchase of the land use right for the construction of our new industrial park; and receipt from financing activities of RMB82.7 million, which was substantially related to capital funds received from issue of Company shares at its IPO on 25 September 2009, the Groups net cash and bank balances stood at RMB101.6 million as at 31 December 2009.

Principle 3: Chairman and CEO Weng Wenwei is the Executive Chairman and CEO. He is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Group as well as the exercise of control of the quality, quantity and timeliness of information flow between the Board and management.

However, as good corporate governance practice and to ensure that there is no concentration of power and authority vested in one individual, the Group has appointed Teoh Teik Kee as the Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director will be available to the shareholders where they have concerns which cannot be resolved through the normal channels of the Chairman or CEO, or where such contact is not possible or inappropriate. Hence, the Board is of the opinion that sufficient checks and safeguards are in place to ensure that the process of decision making is independent and based on collective decisions without individual exercising any considerable power or influence. As Chairman of the Board, Weng Wenwei bears responsibility for the effective working of the Board. He is responsible for, amongst others, ensuring that Board meetings are held when necessary, setting the Board meeting agenda in consultation Chief Financial Officer, assisting in ensuring compliance with the Groups guidelines on corporate governance, acting as facilitator at Board meetings and maintaining regular dialogue with the management on all operational matters.

The Company Secretary also attends all meetings of the Board and Board Committees. In addition, there is constant communication between Board members and key decisions require approval from all Directors prior to implementation. Besides giving guidance on the corporate direction of the Group, the role of the Chairman includes the scheduling and chairing of Board meetings and controlling of the quality, quantity and timeliness of information supplied to the Board.

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act (Cap. 50) (the Act) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: (a) devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting control sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

(b) (c)

Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Summary of significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in Chinese Renminbi (RMB), unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. Interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in 2009 On 1 January 2009, the Group adopted the new or amended FRS and Interpretations to FRS (INT FRS) that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Groups accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INT FRS. The following are the new or revised FRS and INT FRS that are relevant to the Group:

Notes to the Financial Statement


Great Group Holdings Limited
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.1 Basis of Preparation (continued) FRS 1 (revised) Presentation of financial statements (effective from 1 January 2009). The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, non-owner changes in equity) in the statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity are shown in a performance statement, but entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income). The Group has chosen to adopt the former alternative. Where comparative information is restated or reclassified, a restated balance sheet is required to be presented as at the beginning comparative period. There is no restatement of the balance sheet as at 1 January 2008 in the current financial year. FRS 108 Operating segments (effective from 1 January 2009) replaces FRS 14 Segment reporting, and requires a management approach, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This has resulted in an increase in the number of reportable segment presented. Segment revenue, segment profits and segment assets are also measured on a basis that is consistent with internal reporting. Amendment to FRS 107 Improving disclosures about financial statements (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. The adoption of the amendment results in additional disclosures but does not have an impact on the accounting policies and measurement bases adopted by the Group.

2.2

Group Accounting (a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanied by a shareholding giving rise to a majority of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Please refer to the paragraph Investments in subsidiaries for the accounting policy on investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the Company. (b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the parent company. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full. The consolidation financial statement of the Group for the financial years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 have been prepared under the pooling-of-interest method, as the Restructuring Exercise completed as described in Note 1.2 is a legal reorganisation of entities under common control. Under this method, the Company has been treated as the holding company of all its subsidiaries under common control for the financial years presented rather than from the date of completion of the Restructuring Exercise. Accordingly, the consolidated results of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 include the results of the Company and subsidiaries under common control for the entire periods.

Great Group Holdings Limited
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.2 Group Accounting (continued) (b) Basis of consolidation (continued) Pursuant to this: Assets and liabilities are consolidated at their existing carrying amounts; No amount is recognised for goodwill; and The Groups share capital represents the subsidiaries paid-up share capital for the financial year ended 31 December 2008. Consolidation of the subsidiaries in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) is based on the subsidiaries financial statements prepared in accordance with FRS. Profits reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with FRS may differ from those reflected in PRC statutory financial statements of the subsidiaries, prepared for PRC reporting purposes. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, profits available for distribution by PRC subsidiaries are based on the amounts stated in their respective statutory financial statements. 2.3 Revenue Recognition Sales comprise the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities. Sales are presented, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured, when it is probable that the collectibility of the related receivables is reasonably assured and when the specific criteria for each of the Groups activities are met as follows: (a) Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the products to its customers, the customers have accepted the products and the recoverability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. (b) Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. 2.4 Property, Plant and Equipment (a) Measurement Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Notes to the Financial Statement


Great Group Holdings Limited
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.4 Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) (b) Depreciation Construction in-progress are not depreciated. Depreciation on other items of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows: Useful lives 10 years 20 years 5 years 5 years

Machinery and equipment Leasehold buildings and work shops Furniture & fitting and office equipment Motor vehicles

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the income statement when the changes arise. (c) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in the profit or loss when incurred. (d) Disposal On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss within Other income. 2.5 Intangible Assets (a) Land-use rights Land-use rights are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortised to the income statement using the straight-line method over 50 years, which is the shorter of the estimated useful lives and periods of contractual rights. The amortisation expense is recognised in profit or loss. (b) Acquired trademark and licenses Trademarks and licenses acquired are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortised to profit or loss using the straight-line method over three years, which is the shorter of their estimated useful lives and periods of contractual rights. (c) Acquired computer software licenses Acquired computer software licenses are initially capitalised at cost which includes the purchase price (net of any discounts and rebates) and other directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Direct expenditure including employee costs, which enhances or extends the performance of computer software beyond its specifications and which can be reliably measured, is added to the original cost of the software. Costs associated with maintaining the computer software are recognised as an expense when incurred.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.5 Intangible Assets (continued) (c) Acquired computer software licenses (continued) Computer software licenses are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortised to profit or loss using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years. The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the income statement when the changes arise. 2.6 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. 2.7 Investments in Subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Companys balance sheet. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss. 2.8 Impairment of Non-financial Assets Property, plant and equipment Intangible assets Investments in subsidiaries Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating-unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in profit or loss.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.9 Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are presented as non-current assets. Borrowings and receivables are presented as trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction cost and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists. Allowance for impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. 2.10 Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. 2.11 Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.12 Borrowings Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. 2.13 Employee Compensation Employee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalised as an asset. Defined contribution plans-pension benefits The Group is required to provide certain staff pension benefits to their employees under existing PRC regulations. Pensions contributions are provided at rates stipulated by PRC regulations and are contributed to a pension fund managed by government agencies, which are responsible for administering these amounts for the subsidiaries employees. Pension contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related services are performed.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.14 Income Taxes Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax is measured: (i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date; and based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities.

(ii)

Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss. 2.15 Leases When the Group is the lessee: The Group leases factories and offices under the operating leases from non-related parties. Operating leases Leases where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessors are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Contingent rents are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when incurred. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the financial year in which termination takes place. 2.16 Provisions for Other Liabilities and Charges Provisions for other liabilities and charges are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not 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.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.17 Currency Translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Chinese Renminbi (RMB). (b) Transactions and balances Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined. (c) Translation of Group entities financial statements The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) (ii) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date; Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the 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 using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve.

(iii) 2.18

Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

2.19

Share Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account.

2.20

Government Grants Grants from the government are recognised as a receivable at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions. Government grants receivable are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants relating to expenses are shown separately as other income.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 2.20 Government Grants (contineud) Government grants relating to assets are deducted against the carrying amount of the assets. 2.21 Fair Value Estimation The fair values of current financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate their carrying amounts. 2.22 Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who makes strategic decisions.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group is subject to the uncertainty caused by the world financial crisis. The world economy has experienced significant downward pressure and credit has become very tight. Significant judgment is required to determine the fair value and forecasts of business that may have impact on cashflow, collectibility and realisability of assets. In making these judgments, the Company has relied on past experience and their view of the economy. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or area where estimates and assumptions are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below. (a) Impairment of loans and receivables Management reviews its loans and receivables for objective evidence of impairment at least annually. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, the probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments are considered objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. In determining this, management makes judgements as to whether there is observable date indicating that there has been a significant change in the payment ability of the debtor, or whether there have been significant changes with adverse effect in the market, economic or legal environment in which the debtor operates in. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, management makes judgements as to whether an impairment loss should be recognised in the profit or loss. (b) Net realisable value of inventories Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management will reassess the estimations at the balance sheet date.

Financial risk management Financial risk factors The Groups activities expose it to market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Groups overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on the Groups financial performance. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management for the Group. This includes establishing policies such as authority levels, oversight responsibilities, risk identification and measurement and exposure limits. (a) Market risk (i) Currency risk The Group operates in the Peoples Republic of China with most of the transactions settled in RMB. However, the Group makes sales transactions with overseas customers in United State Dollars (USD) and is therefore exposed to currency risk. To manage the currency risk, the Group enter into currency forwards with local banks. The Groups risk management policy is to hedge between 30% to 50% of highly probable forecast transactions (mainly export sales) in the next three to twelve months. The management monitors the requirement to enter into currency forward agreements based on the current exchange rates between USD and RMB by considering the quotation from local banks, past trends and anticipated fluctuation in the exchange rates and current PRC and world market conditions.

24 Financial risk management (continued) (a) Market risk (continued) (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Groups interest rate risk mainly arises from bank loan at fixed interest rates. The Group manages its interest rate risk by keeping bank loan to the minimum required to sustain the operations of the Group. The reasonably possible change in the movement in the RMB interest rate with all other variables held constant assessed by management is 1% (2008: 1%). Management has assessed the impact to net profit as being not material. (b) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history, and obtaining cash deposits where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. For other financial assets, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties. Credit exposure to an individual counterparty is restricted by credit limits and terms that are approved by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In assessing the credit limits and terms granted, the Group considers the nature of the contract, creditworthiness, payment history and the relationship with the customers. In order to manage the credit risk, the Group purchase insurance from reputable insurance company in the PRC. As the Group does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financial instruments presented on the balance sheet.

New or revised accounting standards and interpretations Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Groups accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 or later periods and which the Group has not early adopted. The Groups assessment of the impact of adopting those standards, amendments and interpretations that are relevant to the Group is set out below: (a) FRS 27 (revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). FRS 27 (revised) requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in the income statement. The Group will apply FRS 27 (revised) prospectively to transactions with minority interests from 1 January 2010. (b) Amendments to FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Eligible Hedged Items (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009) This amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation should be applied in particular situations. The Group will apply this amendment from 1 January 2010, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Great Group Holdings Limited
26 New or revised accounting standards and interpretations (continued) (c) INT FRS 117 Distributions of Non-Cash Assets to Owners (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009) INT FRS 117 clarifies how the Group should measure distributions of assets, other than cash, to its owners. INT FRS 117 specifies that such a distribution should only be recognised when appropriately authorised, and that the dividend should be measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the assets distributed should be recognised in profit or loss. INT FRS 117 applies to pro rata distributions of non-cash assets except for distributions to a party or parties under common control. The Group will apply INT FRS 117 from 1 January 2010, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. (d) INT FRS 118 Transfer of Assets to Customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009) INT FRS 118 prescribes the accounting requirements for arrangements where the Group receives an item of property, plant and equipment from a customer which must be used to provide an ongoing service to the customer. It also applies to cash received from a customer that must be used to acquire or construct such property, plant and equipment. The Group will apply INT FRS 118 from 1 January 2010, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. (e) FRS 103 (revised) Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009) FRS 103 (revised) continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair vale or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Group will apply FRS 103 (revised) prospectively to all business combinations from 1 January 2010.

27.

Events occurring after balance sheet date At the Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2010, a first and final exempt dividend of RMB0.0566 per share amounting to a total of RMB15,005,000 will be recommended.
