costs incurred plus recognised profit less recognised losses and progress billings, and are presented under the caption of
"Trade and other receivables" or "Trade and other payables" in the statement of financial position as the "Amounts due from
customers for contracts-in-progress" (as an asset) or the "Amounts due to customers for contracts-in-progress" (as a
liability), as applicable. Progress billings not yet paid by the customer are included in the statement of financial
position. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the statement of financial position, as a
liability, as "Advances received".
4.17 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets
that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of
those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income
earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from
the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
4.18 Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant
lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of
the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that
lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate
benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.19 Employee benefit
These comprise short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plan.
Short-term employee benefits, including salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, leave passage, contributions to
defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated
services are rendered by employees of the Group. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material,
these amounts are stated at their present values.
Contributions to the defined contribution scheme are charged to profit or loss when incurred.
4.20 Income tax
Income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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 company 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.
Deferred 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 consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax
liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted
for 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 substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised 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.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, 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 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 same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an
intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.21 Financial guarantee issued, provisions and contingent liabilities
(i) Financial guarantees issued
Financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer (i.e. the guarantor) to make specified payments to reimburse the
beneficiary of the guarantee (the "holder") for a loss the holder incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment
when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Where the Group issues a financial guarantee, the fair value of the guarantee is initially recognised as deferred income
within trade and other payables. The fair value of financial guarantees issued at the time of issuance is determined by
reference to fees charged in an arm's length transaction for similar services, when such information is obtainable, or is
otherwise estimated by reference to interest rate differentials, by comparing the actual rates charged by lenders when the
guarantee is made available with the estimated rates that lenders would have charged, had the guarantees not been
available, where reliable estimates of such information can be made. Where consideration is received or receivable for the
issuance of the guarantee, the consideration is recognised in accordance with the Group's policies applicable to that
category of asset. Where no such consideration is received or receivable, an immediate expense is recognised in profit or
loss on initial recognition of any deferred income.
The amount of the guarantee initially recognised as deferred income is amortised in profit or provisions are recognised in
accordance with (ii) if and when (1) it becomes probable that the holder of the guarantee will call upon the Group under
the guarantee, and (2) the amount of that claim on the Group is expected to exceed the amount currently carried in trade
and other payables in respect of that guarantee, i.e. the amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation.
(ii) Other provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for other liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group or the Company has a legal or
constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material,
provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
4.22 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as liability in the Group's and the Company's financial
statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders or directors, where
appropriate.
4.23 Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group's position at the end of the
reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are
reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements when material.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgements that have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements (apart from those involving estimations, which are
dealt with below).
(i) Estimation of contract costs
Estimated costs to complete contracts are judged by the directors through the application of their experience and knowledge
of the industry in which the Group operates. However, contract performance can be difficult to predict accurately. The
directors believe that contract budgets do not deviate materially from actual costs incurred due to a strong cost control
system with regular review of budgets which highlight any incidences that could affect estimated costs to completion.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting
periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting
period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year, are discussed below.
(i) Impairment of assets
The Group has to exercise judgement in determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the asset
impairment no longer exists, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may affect the asset value
or such event affecting the asset value has not been in existence; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be
supported by the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset or
derecognition; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether
these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management to
determine the level of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow
projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(ii) Impairment of trade and other receivables
The estimation of impairment of trade and other receivables includes an assessment of recoverability of individual account
balances and a review of ageing analysis of trade and other receivables by the directors. The directors will also review
the credit history of customers in assessing the recoverability of trade and other receivables. When any indication comes
to their attention that a trade and other receivable might not be recovered in full, impairment will be made and recognised
as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 March 2014, the total carrying amount of
trade and other receivables are £14,299,649 (2013: £15,706,652).
(iii) Plant and equipment and depreciation
The Group determines the estimated useful lives, residual values and related depreciation charges for the Group's plant and
equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of plant and
equipment of similar nature and functions. The Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual
values are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or
non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
(iv) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income tax in different jurisdiction in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the PRC. Significant estimates are
required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is
different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax
provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
As at 31 March 2014, the Group has unused tax losses of £4,561,705 (2013: £5,331,538) available for offset against future
profits. A deferred tax asset of £752,681 (2013: £879,740) has not been recognised in respect of the unused tax losses. In
cases where there are future profits generated to utilise the tax losses, a material deferred tax asset may arise, which
would be recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period in which such future profits are
recorded.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's major financial instruments include loan and borrowings, trade and other receivables and trade and other
payables. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The risks associated with these
financial instruments include currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how these
risks are mitigated are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures
are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
(i) Market risk
(1) Currency risk
Certain entities in the Group have foreign currency transactions and have foreign currency denominated monetary assets and
liabilities, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Company has foreign currency transactions, which expose
the Company to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group's and the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary
liabilities, mainly represented by trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, trade and other payables and loan
and borrowings, at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

The Group currently does not have any policy on hedges of foreign currency risk. However, management monitors the foreign
currency risk exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency risk should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis
The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in £ against the relevant foreign
currencies and all other variables were held constant. 5% (2013: 5%) is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign
currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible
change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currencies denominated
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% (2013: 5%) change in foreign currency rates. A
positive/(negative) number indicates a decrease/(increase) in post-tax profit/(loss) for the year when £ strengthens 5%
(2013: 5%) against the relevant foreign currencies. For a 5% (2013: 5%) weakening of £ against the relevant currency,
there would be an equal but opposite impact on the post-tax profit/(loss) for the year.

(2) Interest rate risk
The Group and the Company is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed rate bank deposits and
borrowings at fixed rates. The Group and the Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to fluctuation of the
prevailing market interest rate on certain bank borrowings which carry at prevailing market interest rates as shown in
notes 25 and 26. The Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, management monitors interest
rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.
The Group's and the Company's exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk
management section of this note.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
(i) Market risk (continued)
(2) Interest rate risk (continued)
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the change in interest rates and the exposure to interest rates
for the non-derivative financial liabilities at the balance sheet date and on the assumption that the amount outstanding at
the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year and held constant throughout the financial year. The 25 basis
points increase or decrease represents management's assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates over the
period until the next annual balance sheet date. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2013.
For the year ended 31 March 2014, if interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower, with all other variables held
constant, the Group's post-tax profit for the year would increase/decrease by approximately £1,425 (2013: £2,510).
(ii) Credit risk
At 31 March 2014, the Group's and the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties' failure
to perform their obligations in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those
assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. In order to minimise the credit risk,
the management of the Group has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an
ongoing basis. Credit evaluations of its customers' financial position and condition are performed on each and every major
customer periodically. These evaluations focus on the customer's past history of making payments their due and current
ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic
environment in which the customer operates. Debts are usually due within 90 days from the date of billing.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default
risk of the industry and country in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk. At the balance sheet
date, the Group had no significant concentrations of credit risk where individual trade and other receivables balance
exceed 10% of the total trade and other receivables at the balance sheet date.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by
international credit rating agencies. Also, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread
over a number of counterparties and customers.
Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group's and the Company's exposure to credit risk arising from trade and
other receivables are set out in note 21.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
(iii) Liquidity risk
In managing the liquidity risk, the Group's policy is to regularly monitor and maintain an adequate level of cash and cash
equivalents determined by management to finance the Group's operations. Management also needs to ensure the continuity of
funding for both the short and long terms, and to mitigate the effects of cash flow fluctuation. At 31 March 2014, the
Group had aggregate banking facilities of £2,194,840 (2012: £2,456,940), of which £1,754,258 were unused (2013:
£1,550,458).
The following table details the contractual maturities of the Group's and the Company'sfinancial liabilities at the balance
sheet date, which is based on the undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.
The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

(c) Fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing
models based on discounted cash flow analysis. Balances with subsidiaries are unsecured, interest free and have no fixed
repayment terms.
The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at
amortised cost in the financial statements approximate to their fair values at the end of the reporting period.
(d) Capital risk management
The Group's primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern,
so that it can continue 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 maintain a balance between the higher
shareholder returns that might be possible with a higher level of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a
sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.
The Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of a net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. For this purpose the Group
defines net debt as total debt (which includes bank borrowings and other financial liabilities) less bank deposits and
cash. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity less unaccrued proposed dividends.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
(d) Capital risk management (continued)
During 2014, the Group's strategy, which was unchanged from 2013, was to maintain the net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio as
low as feasible. In order to maintain or adjust the ratio, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiary undertakings are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The net debt-to-adjusted capital ratios of the Group and the Company at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
