1.      GENERAL 
 
UniVision Engineering Limited ("the Company") is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and its shares are listed
on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM").  The address of the registered office is Unit
1A, 2/F., Sunbeam Centre, 27 Shing Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. 
 
The financial statements are presented in Sterling Pound ("£"), which is the presentation currency of the Company. 
 
The Company acts as an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Group") are engaged in the supply, design, installation and maintenance of closed circuit television and
surveillance systems and the sale of security system related products. The electronic and mechanical business was
discontinued and demerged on 31 March 2015 and further details are presented in note 31 to the financial statements.  The
principal activities of its subsidiaries are set out in note 18 to the financial statements. 
 
2.      BASIS OF PREPARATION 
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). 
 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention basis, as modified by the revaluation of
financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision
and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 
 
Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and
major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 4 in the financial statements. 
 
3.      APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRSs") 
 
(a)   New and revised  IFRSs that have been issued and effective 
 
The following standards have been adopted by the Group and the Company for the first time for the year ended 31 March
2015: 
 
-      Amendments to IAS 32 "Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" clarify the requirements relating to
the offset of financial assets and liabilities.  Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of 'currently has a
legally enforceable right of set-off' and 'simultaneous realisation and settlement'. The amendments require retrospective
application. 
 
-      Amendments to IAS 36 "Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets" remove the requirement to disclose
the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives had been allocated when there has been no impairment or reversal of impairment of the related CGU. Furthermore, the
amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements applicable to when the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is
measured at fair value less costs of disposal. These new disclosures include the fair value hierarchy, key assumptions and
valuation techniques used which are in line with the disclosure required by IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurements". The
amendments require retrospective application. 
 
-      Amendments to IAS 39 "Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting" provide relief from the
requirement to discontinue hedge accounting when a derivative designated as a hedging instrument arising from the novation
should be included in the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness. The amendments require retrospective
application. 
 
-      IFRIC 21 "Levies" addresses the issue of when to recognise a liability to pay a levy. The interpretation defines a
levy, and specifies that the obligation event that gives rise to the liability is the activity that triggers the payment of
the levy, as identified by legislation. The interpretation provides guidance on how different levy arrangements should be
accounted for, in particular, it clarifies that neither economic compulsion nor the going concern basis of financial
statements preparation implies that an entity has a present obligation to pay a levy that will be triggered by operating in
a future period.  IFRIC 21 requires retrospective application. 
 
3.      APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRSs") (CONTINUED) 
 
(b)   New and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective 
 
The following new and revised IFRSs, potentially relevant to the Group's and the Company's operations, have been issued and
are mandatory for adoption by the Group and the Company for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 or
later periods. However, the Group and the Company have not early adopted them. 
 
•   IFRS 9 (2014) "Financial instruments" 
 
•   IFRS 14 "Regulatory deferral accounts" 
 
•   IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" 
 
•   Amendments to IFRS 11 "Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations" 
 
•   Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 "Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation" 
 
•   Amendments to IAS 1 "Disclosure initiative" 
 
•   Amendments to IAS 19 "Defined benefit plans: employee contributions" 
 
•   Amendments to IAS 27 "Equity method in separate financial statements" 
 
•   Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint
venture" 
 
•   Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 "Investment entities: applying the consolidation exemption" 
 
•   Annual improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 cycle 
 
•   Annual improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 cycle 
 
•   Annual improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle 
 
The Group and the Company have not applied any new or revised IFRSs that are not yet effective for the accounting year
ended 31 March 2015. 
 
4.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
4.1     Basis of consolidation 
 
(a)     Subsidiaries 
 
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) 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 and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also
eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group. 
 
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for
the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity
interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest
in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net
assets. 
 
Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated
equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is
recognised. 
 
(b)     Separate financial statements 
 
In the individual Company's statement of financial position, interests in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less
impairment loss. 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 interests in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the
dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary for the period the dividend is declared or, if the
carrying amount of investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated
financial statements, of the investee's net assets including goodwill. 
 
4.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
 
4.1     Basis of consolidation (continued) 
 
(c)     Non-controlling interests 
 
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Company, and
in respect of which the Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in
the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial
liability. For each business combination, the Group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value
or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's net identifiable assets. 
 
Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from
equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are
presented on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss
and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the Company. 
 
4.2     Segment reporting 
 
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with other components of the Group. Operating
segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The Group's Executive Director, Mr. Stephen Sin Mo KOO is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of
the operating segments. 
 
4.3     Foreign currency 
 
(a)     Functional and presentation currency 
 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The Consolidated and Company financial
statements are presented in Sterling Pound ("£"), which is the Group's presentation currency. As the Company is listed on
AIM, the directors consider that this presentation is more useful for its current and potential investors. 
 
The functional currency of the Group's entity is summarised as follows: 
 
 1.  UniVision Engineering Limited                           Hong Kong Dollars   ("HK$")  
 2.  T-Com Technology Co. Limited                            New Taiwan Dollars  ("NTD")  
 3.  Leader Smart Engineering Limited                        Hong Kong Dollars   ("HK$")  
 4.  Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited ("LSSH")    Renminbi Yuan       ("RMB")  
 
 
4.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
 
4.3     Foreign currency (continued) 
 
(b)     Transactions and balances 
 
Foreign 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 in the statement of comprehensive income, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. 
 
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and bank balances are presented in the statement of
comprehensive income within "finance income or cost". All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the
statement of comprehensive income within "administrative expense" or "other income". 
 
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are
analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in
the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences in respect of changes in amortised cost are recognised in
profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. 
 
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit
or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary
financial assets, such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in other comprehensive income. 
 
(c)     Group companies 
 
The 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: 
 
(i)      assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at
the end of the reporting period; 
 
(ii)      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 
 
(iii)     all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 
 
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of
loan and borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other
comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in
equity are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value
adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and
translated at the closing rate. 
 
4.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
 
4.4     Plant and equipment 
 
Plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment loss. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of
bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. 
 
On disposal of an item of plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is
taken to profit or loss. 
 
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over the estimated useful
lives as follows: 
 
 Furniture and fixtures  3 - 5 years  
 Computer equipment      2 - 5 years  
 Motor vehicles          3 years      
 Research assets         3 - 5 years  
 
 
Fully depreciated plant and equipment is retained in the financial statements until the items are no longer in use and no
further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets. 
 
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that
the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of
consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of plant and equipment. The effects of any revision are
recognised in profit or loss when the changes arise. 
 
Subsequent expenditure relating to 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 profit or loss when
incurred. 
 
4.5     Goodwill 
 
Goodwill represents the excess of: 
 
(a)     the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the fair value of the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over 
 
(b)     the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date. 
 
When (b) is greater than (a), then this excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on a bargain
purchase. 
 
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to
each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination and is tested annually for impairment. On disposal of a cash generating unit during the year, any attributable
amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal. 
 
4.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
 
4.6     Impairment of assets 
 
The carrying amounts of non-current assets, such as plant and equipment, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is
estimated. In addition, for goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication
of impairment. 
 
Calculation of recoverable amount 
 
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not
generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest
group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit). 
 
Recognition of impairment losses 
 
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which
it belongs, exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated
first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of units) and then, to
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the
carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), or
value in use (if determinable). 
 
Reversals of impairment losses 
 
In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed (including
those provided during the interim financial reporting). 
 
A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset's carrying amount that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year
in which the reversals are recognised. 
 
4.7     Inventories 
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method
and comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 
 
4.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
 
4.8     Financial instruments 
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument. 
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the
fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. 
 
4.8.1  Financial assets 
 
Loans and receivables 
 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables and bank
balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see accounting
policy on impairment of loans and receivables below). 
 
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the
recognition of interest would be immaterial.
