Highlights

Consolidated Group Results

  Revenue from continuing operations up 106% to $46.0 million (2012: $22.4m), not including sales 

at the JV level which totalled $390.6 million (2012: $345.3m).

  Operating profit up 65% to $9.6 million (2012: $5.8m) including non-recurring charge of $2.0 million.

  Net profit attributable to Chi-Med equity holders up 63% to $5.9 million (2012: $3.6m).

  Cash and cash equivalents at the Chi-Med Group level of $46.9 million (31 December 2012: $30.8m) 
in addition, and not included at the Group level, cash and cash equivalents held at the JV level 
totalled $99.0 million (31 December 2012: $62.4m). 

China Healthcare Division – Continuing strong growth

  Sales of subsidiaries and joint ventures (“JVs”) up 13% to $394.6 million (2012: $350.5m). Organic 
expansion of own brands (up 14% to $343.0m) with both prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) 
cardiovascular drug sales being the strongest. Third party OTC drug distribution business up only 2% 
to $51.6 million due to shedding of lower margin activity.

  Net profit attributable to Chi-Med equity holders up 20% to $18.6 million (2012: $15.5m).

  Entered into an agreement to establish a new 51% Chi-Med owned JV, subject to regulatory 
approval, with Sinopharm Group Co. Ltd. (HKSE:1099) (“Sinopharm”) to provide sales, distribution, 
and marketing services to major Chinese and multi-national third party pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Drug R&D Division – Step-change developments approaching

  Revenue up 327% to $29.5 million (2012: $6.9m) as a result of $22.2 million in upfront and 

milestone income and $7.3 million in service income from our partners.

  Secured $54.8 million in third-party cash injections for Hutchison MediPharma Limited’s (“HMP”) 

activities during 2013, bringing the total to $103.6 million since 2010.

  Net loss attributable to Chi-Med equity holders of $2.4 million (2012: net profit $2.8m) due primarily 
to the consolidation of $8.8 million (2012: nil) non-cash share of the loss of Nutrition Science 
Partners Limited (“NSP”), the JV with Nestlé Health Science SA (“Nestlé Health Science”). NSP, which 
is enrolling patients in the HMPL-004 global Phase III registration trial, was entirely self-funded in 
2013, and will be until the Interim Analysis in mid-2014, by the initial cash equity investment in NSP 
by Nestlé Health Science.

HUTCHISON CHINA MEDITECH LIMITED    2013 Annual Report

Highlights

Drug R&D Division – Step-change developments approaching (Continued)

  Progressed global development of Volitinib (HMPL-504), a c-Met inhibitor in oncology, in 
partnership with AstraZeneca AB (publ) (“AstraZeneca”) in Phase I in Australia and China. Phase I 
dose escalation, initiation of which triggered a $5 million milestone in mid-2013, will be completed 
by early 2014 and results will be published at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) 
meetings in June 2014. Volitinib has demonstrated very encouraging anti-tumour activity in Phase 
I in certain tumour-types, some of which have no approved therapies on the global market. Phase 
II studies in papillary renal cell carcinoma (“PRCC”) will start in early 2014 in the United States and 
global Phase III initiation is scheduled for 2015.

  Completed exclusive license and collaboration agreement for China with Eli Lilly and Company 
(“Lilly”) on Fruquintinib (HMPL-013), our highly selective vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 
(“VEGFR”) inhibitor. Lilly will share development costs and pay HMP up to $86.5 million in upfront 
payments and development and regulatory milestones and upon commercialisation in China tiered 
royalties starting in the mid-teens percentage of net sales. Fruquintinib, which received Phase II/
III clearance from the China Food & Drug Administration (“CFDA”) in mid-2013, will start Phase II 
studies in several tumour types, and a Phase III registration study on one tumour type, in China in 2014.

Immunology collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Janssen”), the pharmaceutical 
division of Johnson & Johnson, progressed well in 2013. Janssen nominated a compound, HMPL-
507, discovered by HMP, for further development thereby triggering a $6 million milestone 
payment. Janssen will be responsible for all development costs and will potentially pay HMP up to 
an additional $90.5 million in development and regulatory approval milestones, and royalties on 
worldwide sales upon commercialisation.

  Beyond the four partnered drug candidates, HMP has effectively progressed three further high 
potential small molecule oncology drug candidates with stand-out results on Sulfatinib which in 
2013 demonstrated very encouraging anti-tumour activity in certain tumour types, some of which 
have very limited treatment options approved on the global market.

In discovery, HMP nominated HMPL-523 in early 2013, a novel Syk inhibitor, for rheumatoid arthritis 
and intends to start Phase I trials in Australia in early 2014.

Consumer Products Division – Refocused

  Sales on continuing operations up 23% to $12.5 million (2012: $10.2m) driven by progress on the 

expansion of the range of Hutchison Hain Organic Holdings Limited (“HHO”) products in Asia.

  Non-recurring $2.0 million in costs associated with the discontinuation of the Sen France and 

aspects of the China infant formula businesses.

  Net loss attributable to Chi-Med equity holders on continuing operations of $0.5 million (2012:

-$0.9m).

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chairman’s Statement

5

Once more, I am delighted to report a year of major 

progress.  With  each  year,  the  potential  of  Chi-

Med  becomes  clearer,  the  business  strengthens 

its platform for future value creation and it takes 

big steps forward in building a major, China-based 

pharmaceutical and health-related products group, 

with strong potential in global markets.

In fact, all the key themes I set out in last year’s 

announcement have only continued to demonstrate 

their strength, and Chi-Med’s increasing capabilities.

Our  Drug  R&D  Division  produced  standout 

performance last year. It initiated the global Phase 

III registration study on HMPL-004, NATRUL-3 and 

NATRUL-4, in early 2013 under our joint venture 

with  Nestlé  Health  Science,  NSP.  NATRUL-3,  an 

induction study in ulcerative colitis, is progressing 

well  and  we  intend  to  present  results  from  the 

Interim Analysis of the study in mid-2014.

Other major achievements occurred on Fruquintinib 

(HMPL-013), Volitinib (HMPL-504), and the Janssen 

compound, HMPL-507. On Fruquintinib, in early 

2013, we published outstanding Phase I clinical 

data that was quickly followed by CFDA regulatory 

clearance to proceed into Phase II/III studies. In 

parallel, we started a Phase Ib study on a tumour-

type that showed great potential in Phase I and 

ended  the  year  by  completing  a  license  and 

collaboration  agreement  on  Fruquintinib  with 

Lilly which will fund rapid clinical expansion. Our 

collaboration with AstraZeneca on Volitinib made 

remarkable progress in 2013, with Phase I close to 

completion in both Australia and China. Based on 

the exciting results we have observed, a Phase II 

study will start in early 2014. Our over three-year 

collaboration with Janssen also led to the formal 

drug candidate nomination by Janssen of HMPL-507 

in the fi eld of infl ammation.

The Drug R&D Division secured $54.8 million in third 

party cash injections through our partnerships with 

Nestlé Health Science, Lilly, AstraZeneca and Janssen 

in 2013. In addition, based on strong pre-clinical 

and clinical data, our team was able to effectively 

manoeuvre  two  of  our  un-partnered  products, 

Sulfatinib and HMPL-523, into positions that show 

major potential.

With each year, the potential of 
Chi-Med becomes clearer, the business

global markets.

HUTCHISON CHINA MEDITECH LIMITED    2013 Annual Report

Operations Review

Group Results
Reporting for the fi rst full year under the new IFRS11 

standard, which no longer permits the proportional 

consolidation of the sales of our two major China 

Healthcare  Division  JVs,  Chi-Med  delivered  solid 

revenue growth, with consolidated Group revenue 

on continuing operations up 106% to $46.0 million 

(2012: $22.4m). This was driven primarily by step 

change growth in the milestone and services income 

in our Drug R&D Division where revenue increased 

327% to $29.5 million (2012: $6.9m). Sales of the 

continuing operations in our Consumer Products 

Division grew 23% to $12.5 million (2012: $10.2m) 

behind regional expansion of the HHO natural and 

organic product lines. In our nutritional supplements 

business  Hutchison  Healthcare  Limited  (“HHL”) 

sales fell 25% to $4.0 million (2012: $5.3m) as we 

continued to tighten working capital and restructure 

the commercial operation to focus on profi t, which 

quadrupled during the period.

The Group’s full year operating profit was up 65% 

to $9.6 million (2012: $5.8m), refl ecting the above 

points and the non-recurring charge of $2.0 million 

associated with the discontinuation of the Sen France 

and aspects of our China infant formula project.

The group’s net overhead costs increased to $6.2 

million (2012: $6.0m) refl ecting an increase of $0.4 

million in staff and administration costs but offset in 

part by reduced costs associated with the employee 

share option schemes of Chi-Med.

Finance  costs  were  $1.5  million  (2012:  $1.2m) 

primarily refl ecting the continued borrowing at HHL 

in the China Healthcare Division, and interest on a 

partial drawdown of the credit facility of Chi-Med.

Profi ts attributable to minority interests were $1.1 

million (2012:-$0.1m) as the scale down costs carried 

by Hain Celestial on the China infant formula project 

dropped materially compared to 2012.

Christian Hogg
Chief Executive Offi cer

To date, Chi-Med, its

Product (“GDP”) growth in China averaging 10% per 

year during that period, and the healthcare reforms 

which have been an important pillar of the Chinese 

Government’s economic and societal development 

strategy. Most notably, these healthcare reforms, 

through  the  expansion  of  enrollment  in  State 

sponsored  medical  insurance  schemes,  have 

increased medical insurance fund expenditure to 

approximately $122.7 billion in 2012, a compound 

average growth rate of 31% since 2005. The growth 

of these schemes, even though they cover more 

than just drug expenditure, is directly correlated 

with drug cost reimbursement for drugs purchased 

in both the hospital and retail pharmacy channels, 

and which as a consequence drives sales growth in 

the pharmaceutical industry.

Looking ahead, the room for continued growth of 

the pharmaceutical industry remains very substantial.

in over 13,000 hospitals (2012: approx. 10,000) in

As previously reported, SHPL is in the process of 

upgrading its production facilities, to new Chinese 

GMP standards, and expanding them over three-

40km from Shanghai city centre) from its existing site 

in Pu Tuo district (about 13km from Shanghai city 

centre). This move is on track to complete by the end 

of 2015. As a measure to reduce risk and smooth the 

transition process, SHPL has decided to work towards 

attaining the new Chinese GMP certification on its 

existing Pu Tuo site, and this should be received in

small  molecule  targeted  cancer  drugs,  three  of 

which are in Phase I clinical trials and two of which 

are starting Phase II studies on multiple tumour-

clinically un-validated targets which have not yet 

received marketing approval, such as c-Met, Syk,

VEGF/VEGFR  Inhibitors:  At  an  advanced  stage, 

tumours secrete large amounts of VEGF, a protein, 

to  stimulate  formation  of  excessive  vasculature 

(angiogenesis)  around  the  tumour  in  order  to 

provide greater blood fl ow, oxygen, and nutrients to 

fuel the rapid growth of the tumour. VEGF receptor 

inhibitors stop the growth of the vasculature around 

the tumour and thereby starve the tumour of the 

nutrients it needs to grow rapidly.

38 HUTCHISON CHINA MEDITECH LIMITED    2013 Annual Report

Corporate Governance Report

The Company strives to attain and maintain high standards of corporate governance best suited to the needs and interests of the Company and its subsidiaries (the 

“Group”) as it believes that effective corporate governance practices are fundamental to safeguarding shareholder interests and enhancing shareholder value. Accordingly, 

the Company has adopted corporate governance principles that emphasise a quality board of Directors (the “Board”), effective internal controls, stringent disclosure 

practices, transparency and accountability. It is, in addition, committed to continuously improving these practices and inculcating an ethical corporate culture. The 

Company has applied the principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) notwithstanding that the Company’s shares are admitted to trade on AIM, and is 

therefore not required to comply with the Code.

Set out below are the corporate governance practices adopted by the Company.

THE BOARD
The Board is responsible for directing the strategic objectives of the Company and overseeing the management of the business. Directors are charged with the task of 

promoting the success of the Company and making decisions in the best interest of the Company. The Board is satisfi ed that it meets the Code’s requirement for effective 

operation.

The Board, led by the Chairman, Mr Simon To, determines and monitors the Group’s long term objectives and commercial strategies, annual operating and capital 

expenditure budgets and business plans, evaluates the performance of the Company, and supervises the management of the Company (“Management”). Management is 

responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Group under the leadership of the Chief Executive Offi cer.

As at 31 December 2013, the Board comprised nine Directors, including the Chairman, Chief Executive Offi cer, Chief Financial Offi cer, three Non-executive Directors and 

three Independent Non-executive Directors (one of whom is Senior Independent Director). Biographical details of the Directors are set out in the “Biographical Details of 

Directors” section on pages 31 to 32 and on the Company’s website (www.chi-med.com).

For a Director to be considered independent, the Board must be satisfi ed that the Director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Group. In 

determining the independence of Directors, the Board follows the requirements of the Code.

The role of the Chairman is separate from that of the Chief Executive Offi cer. Such division of responsibilities reinforces the independence and accountability of these 

executives.

The Chairman is responsible for the effective conduct of the Board, ensuring that it as a whole plays an effective role in the development and determination of the Group’s 

strategy and overall commercial objectives and acts as the guardian of the Board’s decision-making processes. He is responsible for setting the agenda for each Board 

meeting, taking into account, where appropriate, matters proposed by Directors. He also ensures that the Board receives accurate, timely and clear information on the 

Group’s performance, the issues, challenges and opportunities facing the Group and matters reserved to it for decision. With the support of the Executive Directors and 

the Company Secretary, the Chairman seeks to ensure that the Board complies with approved procedures, including the schedule of Reserved Matters to the Board for its 

decision and the Terms of Reference of all Board Committees. The Board, under the leadership of the Chairman, has adopted good corporate governance practices and 

procedures and taken appropriate steps to provide effective communication with shareholders, as outlined later in the report.

Corporate Governance Report

3939

The Chief Executive Offi cer, Mr Christian Hogg, is responsible for managing the businesses of the Group, formulating and developing the Group’s strategy and overall 

commercial objectives in close consultation with the Chairman and the Board. With the executive management team of each core business division, the Chief Executive 

Offi cer implements the decisions of the Board and its Committees. He maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Chairman to keep him fully informed of all major business 

development and issues. He is also responsible for ensuring that the development needs of senior management reporting to him are identifi ed and met as well as leading 

the communication programme with shareholders.

The Board meets regularly. Between scheduled meetings, senior management of the Group provides information to Directors on a regular basis with respect to the 

activities and development of the Group. Throughout the year, Directors participate in the deliberation and approval of routine and operational matters of the Company 

by way of written resolutions with supporting explanatory materials, supplemented by additional verbal and/or written information from the Company Secretary or 

other executives as and when required. Whenever warranted, additional Board meetings are held. In addition, Directors have full access to information on the Group and 

independent professional advice at all times whenever deemed necessary by the Directors and they are at liberty to propose appropriate matters for inclusion in Board 

agendas.

With respect to regular meetings of the Board, Directors receive written notice of the meetings generally about a month in advance and an agenda with supporting 

Board papers no less than three days prior to the meeting. With respect to other meetings, Directors are given as much notice as is reasonable and practicable in the 

circumstances. Except for those circumstances permitted by the Articles of Association of the Company, a Director who has a material interest in any contract, transaction, 

arrangement or any other kind of proposal put forward to the Board for consideration abstains from voting on the relevant resolution and such Director is not counted for 

quorum determination purposes.

The Company held four Board meetings in 2013 with 100% attendance of its members.

In addition to Board meetings, the Chairman held two meetings with Non-executive Directors without the presence of the Executive Directors, with full attendance, to 

review the performance of the Executive Directors. The Senior Independent Director, Mr Christopher Nash, also held a meeting with all Non-executive Directors without the 

presence of the Chairman, with full attendance, for the appraisal of the Chairman’s performance.

In addition, evaluation of the performance of the Board and its Committees together with the Chairman of each Committee was conducted by questionnaires. The 

objective of such evaluation is to ensure that the Board, its Committees and the Chairman of each Committee continued to act effectively in fulfi lling the duties and 

responsibilities expected of them.

HUTCHISON CHINA MEDITECH LIMITED    2013 Annual Report

Corporate Governance Report

All Non-executive Directors are engaged on service contracts which are automatically renewed for successive 12 month periods unless terminated by written notice given 

by either party. The Chairman of the Board is of the view that the performance of each of the Non-executive Directors continues to be effective and they all demonstrate 

commitment to their role as a Non-executive Director. All Directors are subject to re-election by shareholders at annual general meetings and at least once every three 

years on a rotation basis in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election and re-election of retiring Directors 

at general meetings is dealt with by separate individual resolutions. Save as mentioned herein, there are no existing or proposed service contracts between any of the 

Directors and the Company which cannot be terminated by the Company within 12 months and without payment of compensation. Where vacancies arise at the Board, 

candidates are proposed and put forward to the Board for consideration and approval, with the objective of appointing to the Board individuals with expertise in the 

businesses of the Group and leadership qualities to complement the capabilities of the existing Directors thereby enabling the Company to retain as well as improve its 

competitive position.

Upon appointment to the Board, Directors receive a package of orientation materials on the Group and are provided with a comprehensive induction to the Group’s 

businesses by senior executives. Continuing education and relevant reading materials are provided to Directors regularly to help ensure that they are apprised of the latest 

changes in the commercial, legal and regulatory environment in which the Group conducts its businesses.

BOARD COMMITTEES
The Company has established three permanent board committees: an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Technical Committee, details of which are 

described later in this report. Other board committees are established by the Board as and when warranted to take charge of specifi c duties.

COMPANY SECRETARY
The Company Secretary, Ms Edith Shih, is accountable to the Board for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and Board activities are effi ciently and effectively 

conducted. These objectives are achieved through adherence to proper Board processes and the timely preparation and dissemination to Directors comprehensive Board 

agendas and papers.

The Company Secretary is responsible for ensuring that the Board is fully apprised of the relevant legislative, regulatory and corporate governance developments of 

relevance to the Group and that it takes these into consideration when making decisions for the Group. From time to time, she organises seminars on specifi c topics of 

importance and interest and disseminates relevant reference materials to Directors for their information.

The Company Secretary is also directly responsible for the Group’s compliance with all obligations of the AIM Rules for Companies (“AIM Rules”), including the preparation, 

publication and despatch of annual reports and interim reports within the time limits laid down in the AIM Rules, the timely dissemination to shareholders and the market 

of announcements and information relating to the Group and assisting in the notifi cation of Directors’ dealings in securities of the Group.

Furthermore, the Company Secretary advises the Directors on their obligations for disclosure of interests and dealings in the Company’s securities, related party 

transactions and price-sensitive information and ensures that the standards and disclosures requirements of the AIM Rules are complied with and, where required, 

reported in the annual report of the Company. In relation to related party transactions, detailed analyses are performed on all potential related party transactions to 

ensure full compliance and for Directors’ consideration.

statements, oversee the relationship between the Company and its external auditor, monitor and review the effectiveness of the Company’s internal audit function in the 

context of the Company’s overall risk management systems giving due consideration to laws and regulations and the provisions of the Code. The Committee is authorised 

to obtain, at the Company’s expense, external legal or other professional advice on any matters within its Terms of Reference.

In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in meeting its responsibility for maintaining an effective system of internal control. It reviews the process by which 

the Group evaluates its control environment and risk assessment process, and the way in which business and control risks are managed. It receives and considers the 

presentations of Management in relation to the review on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control systems and the adequacy of resources, qualifi cations and 

experience of staff in the Group’s accounting and fi nancial reporting function, and their training programmes and budget. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews with 

the internal auditor of the Group’s holding company the work plan for its audits for the Group together with its resource requirements and considers the report of the 

internal auditor of the Group’s holding company to the Audit Committee on the effectiveness of internal controls in the Group business operations. Further, it also receives

Corporate Governance Report

The Audit Committee meets with the Chief Financial Offi cer and other senior management of the Company from time to time for the purposes of reviewing the interim 

and fi nal results and the interim report and annual report and other fi nancial, internal control and risk management matters of the Company. It considers and discusses 

the reports and presentations of Management and the Group’s internal and external auditors, with a view to ensuring that the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements 

are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. It also meets with the Group’s principal external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”), to 

consider the reports of PwC on the scope, strategy, progress and outcome of its independent review of the interim fi nancial report and its annual audit of the consolidated 

fi nancial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee holds regular private meetings with the external auditor, the Chief Financial Offi cer and the internal auditor of the 

Group’s holding company separately without the presence of Management.

EXTERNAL AUDITOR
The Audit Committee reviews and monitors the external auditor’s independence, objectivity and effectiveness of the audit process. It receives each year the letter from the 

external auditor confi rming its independence and objectivity and holds meetings with representatives of the external auditor to consider the scope of its audit, approve 

its fees, and the scope and appropriateness of non-audit services, if any, to be provided by it. The Audit Committee also makes recommendations to the Board on the 

appointment and retention of the external auditor.

The Group’s policy regarding the engagement of PwC for the various services listed below is as follows:

• 

Audit services – include audit services provided in connection with the audit of the consolidated fi nancial statements. All such services are to be provided by 

external auditor.

• 

Audit related services – include services that would normally be provided by an external auditor but not generally included in the audit fees, for example, audits 

of the Group’s pension plans, due diligence and accounting advice related to mergers and acquisitions, internal control reviews of systems and/or processes, 

and issuance of special audit reports for tax or other purposes. The external auditor is to be invited to undertake those services that it must, or is best placed, to 

undertake in its capacity as auditor.

• 

Taxation related services – include all tax compliance and tax planning services, except for those services which are provided in connection with the audit. The Group 

uses the services of the external auditor where it is best suited. All other signifi cant taxation related work is undertaken by other parties as appropriate.

• 

Other services – include, for example, audit or review of third parties to assess compliance with contracts, risk management diagnostics and assessments, and non-

fi nancial systems consultations. The external auditor is also permitted to assist Management and the internal auditor of the Group’s holding company with internal 

investigations and fact-fi nding into alleged improprieties. These services are subject to specifi c approval by the Audit Committee.

• 

General consulting services – the external auditor is not eligible to provide services involving general consulting work.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, all the fees paid to PwC were for audit and non-audit services.

INTERNAL CONTROL, LEGAL AND REGULATORY CONTROL AND GROUP RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and assessment and management of risks.

In meeting its responsibility, the Board seeks to increase risk awareness across the Group’s business operations and has put in place policies and procedures, including 

parameters of delegated authority, which provide a framework for the identifi cation and management of risks. It also reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the 

systems of internal control to ensure that the policies and procedures in place are adequate. Reporting and review activities include review by the Executive Directors and 

the Board and approval of detailed operational and fi nancial reports, budgets and plans provided by management of the business operations, review by the Board of 

actual results against budget, review by the Audit Committee of the ongoing work of the internal audit and risk management functions of the Group’s holding company, 

as well as regular business reviews by the Executive Directors and the executive management team of each core business division.

Whilst these procedures are designed to identify and manage risks that could adversely impact the achievement of the Group’s business objectives, they do not provide 

absolute assurance against material mis-statement, errors, losses or fraud.

Corporate Governance Report

Internal Control Environment and Systems
Executive Directors are appointed to the boards of all material operating subsidiaries and associates for monitoring those companies, including attendance at board 

meetings, review and approval of business strategies, budgets and plans, and setting of key business performance targets. The executive management team of each core 

business division is accountable for the conduct and performance of each business in the division within the agreed strategies and similarly management of each business 

is accountable for its conduct and performance.

The Group’s internal control procedures include a comprehensive system for reporting information to the executive management team of each core business division and 

the Executive Directors.

Business plans and budgets are prepared annually by management of individual businesses and subject to review and approval by both the executive management team 

and the Executive Directors as part of the Group’s fi ve-year corporate planning cycle. Reforecasts for the current year are prepared on a quarterly basis and reviewed for 

variances to the budget and for approval. When setting budgets and reforecasts, Management identifi es, evaluates and reports on the likelihood and potential fi nancial 

impact of signifi cant business risks.

The Executive Directors review monthly management reports on the fi nancial results and key operating statistics of each business and discuss with the executive 

management team and senior management of business operations to review these reports, business performance against budgets, forecasts, signifi cant business risk 

sensitivities and strategies. In addition, fi nancial controllers of the executive management team of each core business division discuss with the representatives of the 

Finance Department to review monthly performance against budget and forecast, and to address accounting and fi nance related matters.

The Finance Department has established guidelines and procedures for the approval and control of expenditures. Operating expenditures are subject to overall budget 

control and are controlled within each business with approval levels set by reference to the level of responsibility of each executive and offi cer. Capital expenditures are 

subject to overall control within the annual budget review and approval process, and more specifi c control and approval prior to commitment by the Finance Department 

or Executive Directors are required for unbudgeted expenditures and material expenditures within the approved budget. Quarterly reports of actual versus budgeted and 

approved expenditures are also reviewed.

The General Manager of the internal audit function of the Group’s holding company, reporting directly to the Audit Committee, provides independent assurance as to the 

existence and effectiveness of the risk management activities and controls in the Group’s business operations in various countries. Using risk assessment methodology and 

taking into account the dynamics of the Group’s activities, internal audit derives its yearly audit plan which is reviewed by the Audit Committee, and reassessed during the 

year as needed to ensure that adequate resources are deployed and the plan’s objectives are met. Internal audit function of the Group’s holding company is responsible 

for assessing the Group’s internal control systems, formulating an impartial opinion on the system, and reporting its fi ndings to the Audit Committee, the Chief Executive 

Offi cer, the Chief Financial Offi cer and the senior management concerned as well as following up on all reports to ensure that all issues have been satisfactorily resolved. 

In addition, a regular dialogue is maintained with the external auditor so that both are aware of the signifi cant factors which may affect their respective scope of work.

Depending on the nature of business and risk exposure of individual business units, the scope of work performed by the internal audit function includes fi nancial and 

operations reviews, recurring and surprise audits, fraud investigations and productivity effi ciency reviews.

Reports from the external auditor on internal controls and relevant fi nancial reporting matters are presented to the General Manager of the internal audit function of the 

Group’s holding company and, as appropriate, to the Chief Financial Offi cer. These reports are reviewed and appropriate actions are taken.

The Board, through the Audit Committee, has conducted a review of the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control systems for the year ended 31 December 2013 

covering all material fi nancial, operational and compliance controls and risk management functions, and is satisfi ed that such systems are effective and adequate. In 

addition, it has reviewed and is satisfi ed with the adequacy of resources, qualifi cations and experience of the staff of the Group’s accounting and fi nancial reporting 

function, and their training programmes and budget.

4747

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF HUTCHISON CHINA MEDITECH LIMITED
(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

We have audited the consolidated accounts of Hutchison China MediTech Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) set out on pages 48 to 

111, which comprise the consolidated statement of fi nancial position as at 31 December 2013, and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement 

of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash fl ows for the year then ended, and a summary of 

signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ responsibility for the consolidated accounts
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting 

Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated accounts that are free from material 

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated accounts based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards 

on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 

consolidated accounts are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on 

the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 

assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of consolidated accounts 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 accounts.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated accounts present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial position of the Group as at 31 December 2013, and of the Group’s fi nancial 

performance and cash fl ows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Other matters
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability 

to any other person for the contents of this report.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Hutchison China MediTech Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) is principally engaged in researching, developing, manufacturing 

and selling pharmaceuticals and health oriented consumer products. The Group and its joint ventures have manufacturing plants in Shanghai and Guangzhou in 

the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and sell mainly in the PRC and Hong Kong. During the year, the Group had discontinued parts of its consumer products 

operation in the PRC and France as detailed in Note 10.

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 18 December 2000 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law (2000 

Revision), Chapter 22 of the Cayman Islands. The address of its registered offi ce is P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

The Company’s ordinary shares were admitted to trading on AIM regulated by the London Stock Exchange. These consolidated accounts are presented in thousands 

of United States dollars (“US$’000”), unless otherwise stated, and were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 17 February 2014.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The consolidated accounts of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These consolidated 

accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

As at 31 December 2013, the current liabilities of the Group exceeded its current assets by approximately US$11,400,000. Included in the current liabilities is a 

term loan of US$26,923,000 which is due for repayment in December 2014 (the “term loan”) and is guaranteed by Hutchison Whampoa Limited (“HWL”), the 

ultimate holding company of the Group. HWL has confi rmed that it will provide continuous fi nancial support to the Group for its obligations under the term loan, 

and will not demand for repayment should HWL be required to repay the term loan on the Group’s behalf, for a minimum period of twelve months from the date 

of this report (the “fi nancial support”).

The future funding requirements of the Group are expected to be met through cash fl ows generated from operating activities, the continuous draw down of the 

existing revolving credit facility and the planned refi nancing of the term loan. Based on the Group’s history of its ability to obtain external fi nancing together with 

the fi nancial support from HWL, its operating performance and its expected future working capital requirements, the management is of the view that there are 

suffi cient fi nancial resources available to the Group to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

Accordingly, these consolidated accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

During the year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards 

Board that are relevant to the Group’s operations and mandatory for annual periods beginning 1 January 2013. The adoption of these new and revised standards, 

amendments and interpretations did not have any material effects on the Group’s results of operations or fi nancial position, except for IAS 1 (Amendments), IFRS 

11 and IFRS 12 as described below.

(A) 

The amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” introduce a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income items that could 

be reclassifi ed to profi t or loss at a future point in time now have to be presented separately from items that will never be reclassifi ed. The adoption of 

these amendments affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group’s results of operations or fi nancial position.

(B) 

IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” was issued in May 2011 which required a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement it is 

involved by assessing the contractual rights and obligations arising from the arrangement rather than the legal structure.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (Continued)

In accordance with IFRS 11, joint arrangements are classifi ed into two types:

(i) 

Joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the 

liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint operator shall recognise in relation to its interest in a joint operation i) its assets, including its share of any 

assets held jointly; ii) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; iii) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from 

the joint operation; iv) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and v) its expenses, including its share of any expenses 

incurred jointly; and

(ii) 

Joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint 

venturer shall recognise its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall account for that investment using the equity method in accordance with 

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures unless the entity is exempted from applying the equity method as specifi ed in that standard.

Under the current rights and obligations of operations in the Group’s joint ventures (“JVs”), Group management has assessed the existing arrangement and 

determined the Group’s JVs as joint venture arrangements.

In previous years, the Group’s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the JVs were combined line by line with the Group’s similar line items 

in the consolidated accounts in accordance with the proportionate consolidation method.

In the consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group adopted the equity method to account for its investments in JVs in accordance 

with IFRS 11. Under the equity method, interests in JVs are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position at cost and adjusted thereafter 

to recognise the Group’s share of the profi t or loss and other comprehensive income of the JVs. The change in accounting policy has been applied for the earliest 

comparative period presented and the effect of the change in accounting policy mentioned above on the results of the Group for the years ended 31 December 

2013 and 2012 and the fi nancial position of the Group as at 31 December 2013, 31 December 2012 and 1 January 2012 are summarised in the following pages.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(C) 

IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” brings together into a single standard that all the disclosure requirements relevant to an entity’s interests 

in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are generally more extensive 

than those previously required by the respective standards. The Group’s additional disclosures of interests in joint ventures and subsidiaries with material 

non-controlling interests have been made in Note 17 and Note 23 to the consolidated fi nancial statements accordingly.

(a) 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated accounts of the Group include the accounts of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries made up to 31 December and also 

incorporate the Group’s interests in joint ventures on the basis set out in Notes 2(d) below.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries and joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the 

Group.

All signifi cant intercompany transactions and balances within the Group are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests represent the interests of outside shareholders in the operating results and net assets of subsidiaries and subsidiaries of joint 

ventures.

(b) 

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable return 

from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The consolidated accounts of the Group include the accounts of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries made up to 31 December and also 

incorporate the Group’s interests in joint ventures on the basis set out in Notes 2(d) below.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

When the Group ceases to have control or signifi cant infl uence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when the 

control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in income statement. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of 

subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or fi nancial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised as other 

comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean 

that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassifi ed to income statement.

(c) 

Transactions with non-controlling interests

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For 

purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets 

of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d) 

Joint arrangements

Investment in joint arrangements are classifi ed as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each 

investors. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using 

the equity method.

Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of 

the post-acquisition profi ts or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any 

objective evidence that the investment in the joint ventures is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference 

between the recoverable amount of the joint ventures and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to ‘share of profi ts less losses after tax 

of joint ventures’ in the income statement.

The Group’s investment in joint ventures includes goodwill identifi ed on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.

(e) 

Foreign currency translation

Items included in the accounts of each of the Group’s companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity 

operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company and most of its principal subsidiaries and joint ventures is Renminbi (“RMB”) 

whereas the consolidated accounts are presented in United States dollars (“US dollars”), which is the Company’s presentation currency, as the Company 

holds investments in various countries and US dollars is considered as a common currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in 

foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at end of the reporting period. Exchange differences are included in the determination of 

income statement.

The accounts of the Company, overseas subsidiaries and joint ventures are translated into the Company’s presentation currency using the year end rates 

of exchange for the statement of fi nancial position items and the average rates of exchange for the year for the income statement items. Exchange 

differences are recognised directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investments in foreign operations are recognised directly in the consolidated 

statement of comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is disposed of, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the 

consolidated income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Exchange differences arising from translation of inter-company loan balances among the Group’s companies and joint ventures are taken to the exchange 

reserve when such loans form part of the Group’s net investment in a foreign entity. When such loans are repaid, the related exchange gains or losses are 

transferred out of the exchange reserve and are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(f) 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 

impairment losses. Historical cost includes the purchase price of the asset and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition 

and location for its intended use.

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 benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are 

charged to the income statement during the fi nancial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives. The 

principal annual rates are as follows:

Buildings 

Leasehold improvements 

Plant and equipment 

Furniture and fi xtures, other equipment and motor vehicles 

20-30 years

Over the unexpired period of the lease or 3-5 years, whichever is shorter

10 years

4-5 years

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at 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(l)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net sales proceeds with the carrying amount of the relevant assets and are recognised in 

income statement.

(g) 

Construction in progress

Construction in progress represents plant and machinery pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses (if any). Cost 

includes the costs of plant and machinery. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are 

completed and ready for intended use. When the assets concerned are brought into use, the costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and 

depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated in Note 2(f).

(h) 

Leasehold land

Leasehold land is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Cost mainly represents consideration paid 

for the rights to use the land on which various plants and buildings are situated for a period of 50 years from the date the respective right was granted. 

Amortisation of leasehold land is calculated on a straight-line basis over the period of the land use rights.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(i) 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifi able assets of the acquired subsidiary 

at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of a foreign operation is treated as an asset of the foreign operation.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is retained at the carrying amount as a separate asset, and subject to impairment test annually and when there are 

indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifi able 

assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated income statement.

The profi t or loss on disposal of a subsidiary or joint venture is calculated by reference to the net assets at the date of disposal including the attributable 

amount of goodwill but does not include any attributable goodwill previously eliminated against reserves.

(j) 

Trademarks, patents and others

Trademarks, patents and others have defi nite useful lives and are carried at historical cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment 

losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the costs of trademarks, patents and others over their estimated useful lives of 

four to ten years.

(k) 

Research and development

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or 

improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will generate future economic benefi ts by considering its 

commercial and technological feasibility, and costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. 

Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs with a fi nite useful 

life that have been capitalised (if any) are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefi t not exceeding fi ve years. The capitalised 

development costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its 

recoverable amount.

Where the research phase and the development phase of an internal project cannot be clearly distinguished, all expenditure incurred on the project is 

charged to the income statement.

(l) 

Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortisation and are tested for 

impairment annually. Assets are reviewed for impairment to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be 

recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the 

extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Such impairment loss 

is recognised in the income statement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(m) 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of fi nished goods 

and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net 

realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

(n) 

Trade and other receivables

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. A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the asset 

is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows, 

discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(o) 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits.

(p) 

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference 

between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using 

the effective interest method.

(q) 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into 

and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability and an equity instrument. Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables) are initially measured at fair 

value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. An equity instrument is any contract that does not meet the 

defi nition of fi nancial liability and evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs, net of tax, directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction 

from the proceeds.

(r) 

Convertible preference shares

A subsidiary of the Group has issued convertible preference shares that are convertible to ordinary shares of the subsidiary, the number of which varies 

subject to conditions, as set out in the relevant agreements, that are ultimately linked to the value of the unquoted ordinary shares of the subsidiary that 

issued the instruments. The convertible preference shares have no maturity date, no obligation to pay dividends nor to be redeemed for cash but can be 

required to be settled by the delivery of the unquoted ordinary shares of the subsidiary concerned. The contractual obligation to issue a variable number 

of ordinary shares means that the instruments do not meet the defi nition of an equity instrument and consequently the convertible preference shares are 

fi nancial liabilities that are recognised initially at fair value being the transaction price. As the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates of 

the unquoted ordinary shares of the subsidiary is signifi cant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed, it is not possible 

to measure the fair value of the ordinary shares of the subsidiary reliably, and hence for the fair value of the convertible preference shares that are linked 

to that value. Consequently, these instruments are measured at cost. If a reliable fair value becomes available for the convertible preference shares they 

will be measured at fair value and the difference between their carrying amount and fair value at that time, and subsequently, will be recognised in the 

income statement. The convertible preference shares are classifi ed as equity when the condition set out in the relevant agreements are satisfi ed and be 

settled by a fi xed number of preference shares.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(s) 

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their 

carrying amounts in the consolidated accounts. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be 

available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

(t) 

Employee benefi ts

(i) 

Pension plans

The Group operates various defi ned contribution plans. The Group’s contributions to the defi ned contribution plans are charged to the income 

statement in the year incurred.

Pension costs are charged against the income statement within employee benefi t expenses.

The pension plans are generally funded by the relevant group companies and by payments from employees of the contributory plans.

(ii) 

Share-based payments

The Group operates certain equity-settled share-based compensation plans. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the 

grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options 

granted: i) including any market performance conditions; ii) excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions 

(for example, profi tability and sales growth targets); and iii) including the impact of any non-vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are 

included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the 

period over which all of the specifi ed vesting conditions are to be satisfi ed. At end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the 

number of options that are expected to vest based on non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, 

if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the 

options are exercised. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously 

recognised in the share-based compensation reserve will be transferred to retained profi ts.

(u) 

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outfl ow of resources 

will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

(v) 

Operating leases

Leases in which a signifi cant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classifi ed as operating leases. Payments made 

under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the leases.

(w) 

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. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(x) 

Government incentives

Incentives from government are recognised at their fair values where there is a reasonable assurance that the incentives will be received and all attached 

conditions will be complied with. Government incentives relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the period necessary 

to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

(y) 

Revenue and income recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received and receivable for the sales of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s 

activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, volume rebates and discounts after eliminated sales within the Group. Revenue and income 

are recognised as follows:

(i) 

Sales of goods – wholesales

Sales of goods are recognised when a group entity has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products and 

collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured.

(ii) 

Sales of goods – retail

Sales of goods are recognised at the point of sales less an estimate for sales return based on past experience where goods are sold with a right to 

return. Retail sales are usually in cash or by credit card. The recorded revenue is the gross amount of sales, including credit card fees payable for 

the transaction. Such fees are included in selling expenses.

(iii) 

Other service income

Other service income is recognised when services are rendered.

(iv) 

Income from research and development projects

Income from the provision of pharmaceutical research and development service is recognised when services are rendered.

The Group receives payment from third parties under the licensing, co-development and commercialisation agreement. Considerations for 

development services are initially reported as deferred income and are recognised as revenue over the period of each development phase by using 

the percentage-of-completion method, based on the percentage of costs to date compared to the total estimated development costs for each 

development phase, contractual milestone or performance.

(v) 

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(z) 

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash fl ows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the 

Group and which represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, or is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a 

separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

When an operation is classifi ed as discontinued, a single amount is presented in the income statement, which comprises the post-tax profi t or loss of the 

discontinued operation.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) 

Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of fi nancial risks, including foreign exchange risk, credit risk, cash fl ow interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The 

Group does not use any derivative fi nancial instruments for speculative purpose.

(i) 

Foreign exchange risk

The Group mainly operates in the PRC with most of the transactions settled in RMB. The Group also has retail and trading operations in various 

jurisdictions. The Group’s assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from its operations that are exposed to foreign exchange risk are primarily 

with respect to the US dollars.

Management has a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against functional currency. It mainly includes 

managing the exposures arising from sales and purchases made by the relevant group companies in currencies other than their own functional 

currencies. The Group also manages its foreign exchange risk by performing regular reviews of the Group’s net foreign exchange exposures. The 

Group has not used any hedging arrangement to hedge its exposure during the year as foreign currency risk is considered relatively insignifi cant.

As the assets and liabilities of each company within the Group are mainly denominated in the respective company’s functional currency, 

management considers that the Group’s volatility against changes in exchange rates of foreign currencies would not be signifi cant. Accordingly, no 

sensitivity analysis is presented for foreign exchange risk.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(a) 

Financial risk factors (Continued)

(ii) 

Credit risk

The carrying amounts of cash at bank, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, other receivables and amount due from related parties included 

in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk of the counterparty in relation to its 

fi nancial assets.

Substantially all of the Group’s cash at banks are deposited in major fi nancial institutions, which management believes are of high credit quality. 

The Group has a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure to any fi nancial institution.

The Group has no signifi cant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that wholesales of products are made to 

customers with an appropriate credit history and the Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. Normally the Group does not 

require collaterals from trade debtors.

Management makes periodic assessment on the recoverability of trade receivables, other receivables and amount due from related parties. 

The Group’s historical experience in collection of receivables falls within the recorded allowances. It is considered that adequate provision for 

uncollectible receivables has been made.

(iii) 

Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group has no signifi cant interest-bearing assets except for bank deposits and cash at bank, details of which have been disclosed in Notes 21.The 

Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly attributable to its bank borrowings, which bear interest at fl oating interest rates and expose 

the Group to cash fl ow interest rate risk. Details of the Group’s bank borrowings are disclosed in Note 26. The Group has not used any interest rate 

swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk as it is considered not cost effi cient.

The Group has performed sensitivity analysis for the effects on the Group’s profi t after taxation for the year as a result of changes in interest 

expense on fl oating rate borrowings. The sensitivity to interest rate used is based on the market forecasts available at the end of the reporting 

period and under the economic environments in which the Group operates, with other variables held constant.

According to the analysis, the impact on the profi t/loss after taxation of a 100 basis-point shift would be a maximum increase/decrease of 

US$509,000 and US$316,000 for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012 respectively.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(a) 

Financial risk factors (Continued)

(iv) 

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining suffi cient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding when necessary. The 

Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains suffi cient cash balances and adequate 

credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term.

The Group’s primary cash requirements have been used for additions of and upgrades on property, plant and equipment, investment in intangible 

assets, settlement of bank loans, settlement of payables and payment for operating expenses. The Group mainly fi nances its working capital 

requirements through a combination of internal resources and bank borrowings.

As at 31 December 2012 and 2013, the Group’s current fi nancial liabilities were due for settlement contractually within twelve months. The Group’s 

non-current fi nancial liabilities were disclosed in Notes 26 and 27. Interest element in connection with bank loans payable in the next twelve 

months calculated in accordance with the contractual undiscounted cash fl ows amounted to US$535,000 (2012 as restated: US$448,000).

As at 31 December 2013, the current liabilities of the Group exceeded its current assets by approximately US$11,400,000. Included in the current 

liabilities is a term loan of US$26,923,000 which is due for repayment in December 2014 (the “term loan”) and is guaranteed by HWL, the ultimate 

holding company of the Group. HWL has confi rmed it will provide continuous fi nancial support to the Group for its obligations under the term loan, 

and will not demand for repayment should HWL be required to repay the term loan on the Group’s behalf, for a minimum period of twelve months 

from the date of this report.

(b) 

Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders 

and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Group regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure optimal capital structure to maintain a balance between higher shareholders’ 

return that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and 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 capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total bank borrowings divided by total equity attributable to the 

Company’s equity holders as shown on the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.

Currently, it is the Group’s strategy to maintain a reasonable gearing ratio. The gearing ratios as at 31 December 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Total bank borrowings (Note 26) 
Total equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders 

Gearing ratio 

2013 
US$’000 

51,508 
88,870 

58.0% 

2012
US$’000
(Restated)

37,815
70,578

53.6%

The increase in the gearing ratio was primarily resulted from the drawdown of new short-term bank loans during 2013.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

(c) 

Fair value estimation

The Group does not have any fi nancial assets or liabilities which are carried at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Group’s current fi nancial assets, 

including cash and bank balances, trade receivables, other receivables, amount due from related parties, and current fi nancial liabilities, including trade 

payables, other payables and accruals, bank borrowings, and balances with related parties, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. 

The carrying amounts of the Group’s fi nancial instruments carried at cost or amortised cost are not materially different from their fair values.

The face values less any estimated credit adjustments for fi nancial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate 

their fair values. The fair value of fi nancial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash fl ows at the current 

market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar fi nancial instruments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Note 2 includes a summary of the signifi cant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accounts. The preparation of accounts often requires the use 

of judgements to select specifi c accounting methods and policies from several acceptable alternatives. Furthermore, signifi cant estimates and assumptions 

concerning the future may be required in selecting and applying those methods and policies in the accounts. The Group bases its estimates and judgements on 

historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and 

judgements under different assumptions or conditions.

The following is a review of the more signifi cant assumptions and estimates, as well as the accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the 

accounts.

(a) 

Revenue recognition

The Group accounts for licensing, co-development and commercialisation agreement in respect of the research and development project using the 

percentage-of-completion method, recognising revenue when they are received or receivable, non-refundable and in substance consideration for 

achievement of specifi c defi ned goals. The identifi cation of specifi c defi ned goals requires signifi cant judgment and considerations include extent of effort 

involved in rendering each milestone and fair value of each distinct service. The percentage-of-completion method places considerable importance on 

accurate estimates of the extent of progress towards completion for each milestone, and the signifi cant estimates include total estimated development 

costs, remaining costs to completion, corresponding risks and other judgements for each milestone.

(b) 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Group has made substantial investments in property, plant and equipment. Changes in technology or changes in the intended use of these assets may 

cause the estimated period of use or value of these assets to change.

Notes To The Accounts

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued)

(c) 

Impairment of assets

The Group tests annually whether goodwill (note 16) and intangible assets not ready to use as included under the Group’s JVs, has suffered any 

impairment. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset 

exceeds its recoverable amount in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2(l). The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit 

is determined based on the higher of the asset’s or the cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The value-in-use calculation 

requires the entity to estimate the future cash fl ows expected to arise from the asset and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value, and 

the growth rate assumptions in the cash fl ow projections which has been prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates.

(d) 

Impairment of receivables

The Group makes provision for impairment of receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of the receivables. This assessment is based on the 

credit history of the relevant counterparty and the current market condition. Provisions are made where events or changes in circumstances indicate that 

the receivables may not be collectible. The identifi cation of impairment in receivables requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation 

is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying amount of receivables and impairment is recognised in the period in which 

such estimate has been changed.

(e) 

Research and development costs

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Where the research phase and the development phase of an internal project cannot be 

clearly distinguished, all expenditure incurred on the project is charged to the income statement. In determining whether the development costs can be 

capitalised, management assesses the probability that the project will generate future economic benefi ts by considering its commercial and technical 

feasibility. This assessment could change when there are subsequent technological advancement and innovations.

(f) 

Deferred income tax

The Group has signifi cant tax losses carried forward and has not recognised the deferred income tax assets on these losses. Deferred income tax assets 

in respect of tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be available against which the temporary differences 

can be utilised. No deferred income tax assets are recognised when it is uncertain whether there are suffi cient future taxable profi ts available before such 

tax losses expire. Where the fi nal outcome of these uncertainties are different from the estimation, such differences will impact the carrying amount of 

deferred tax assets in the period in which such determination is made.

(g) 

Disposal of business

In 2012, the Group contributed certain of its assets and business processes including (i) the global development and commercial rights of a novel, oral 

therapy for Infl ammatory Bowel Disease for a drug candidate previously recognised by the Group as intangible assets and (ii) the exclusive rights to its 

extensive botanical library and well-established botanical research and development platform in the fi eld of gastrointestinal (“GI”) disease previously 

developed by the Group ((i) & (ii) collectively referred as the “Business”), into a joint venture that would be jointly owned by a subsidiary of the Group and 

an unrelated third party as disclosed in Note 6 (b). In accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, management had exercised signifi cant judgement 

in determining whether this contribution constitutes a transfer of a business. The Business comprises an integrated set of activities including inputs in the 

form of a botanical library and a team of scientists engaged in the fi eld of GI area, and critical processes in the form of well-established botanical research 

and development platform that are used to generate outputs in the form of novel medicines and nutritional products. Although the related team of 

scientists was not transferred as a result of this transaction, management believes that it did not involve the use of specifi ed knowledge that is unique to 

an individual scientist or team and this team of scientists can be easily replicated by a market participant to run the business. Accordingly, management 

considered the transaction met the requirements under IFRS 3 to be classifi ed and accounted for as the disposal of a business.

Income from research and development projects include upfront income and milestone income of US$22.2 million (2012: US$4.6 million) from three global licensing, co-development 

and commercialisation agreements (Note 25) and income from the provision of research and development services of US$7.3 million (2012: US$2.3 million).

The chief executive offi cer (the chief operating decision maker) has reviewed the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources, 

and has determined that the Group has three reportable operating segments as follows:

• 

China healthcare: comprises the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of over-the-counter products, prescription products and health 

supplements products.

• 

Drug research and development (“Drug R&D”): relates mainly to drug discoveries and other pharmaceutical research and development activities, and the 

provision of research and development services.

• 

Consumer products: relates to sales of health oriented consumer products.

China healthcare and Drug R&D segments are primarily located in the PRC and the locations for consumer products segment are further segregated into the PRC 

and Hong Kong.

The operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires 

different technological advancement and marketing approach. The performance of the reportable segments are assessed based on a measure of earnings or losses 

before interest income, fi nance costs and tax expenses (“EBIT/(LBIT)”).

The group had discontinued parts of its consumer products operations in the PRC and France for the year ended 31 December 2013 and consumer products 

operations in the United Kingdom (the “UK”) for the year ended 31 December 2012. Details of the discontinued operations are included in note 10.

6 (b)  GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF A BUSINESS

On 27 November 2012, Hutchison MediPharma (Hong Kong) Limited (a subsidiary of the Group) and Nestlé Health Science S.A. (“Nestlé”), a fully-owned subsidiary 

of Nestlé S.A., a company specialised in the development of science-based personalised nutritional solutions, entered into a joint venture agreement in which 

Nestlé agreed to contribute cash and the Group agreed to contribute the Business as defi ned in Note 4(g) into Nutrition Science Partners Limited (the “JV”). The JV 

would be jointly owned with each of the Group and Nestlé having a 50% equity interest.

As at 31 December 2012, the Group had contributed the Business (the drug candidate with cumulative capitalised costs amounted to US$18,524,000) into the JV, 

and management considered the Group had effectively lost control over the Business since 27 November 2012 notwithstanding the legal formation of the JV was 

subject to regulatory approvals as at 31 December 2012 (all the regulatory approvals regarding the formation of JV have been subsequently satisfi ed in 2013). 

Accordingly, the Group had recorded a gain on disposal of the business, being the difference between the contribution to be received from the JV partner and the 

carrying values of net assets contributed into the JV for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The weighted average tax rate calculated at the domestic tax rates of respective companies for the year was 50.8% (2012 restated: 14.7%). The fl uctuation 

in the weighted average applicable tax rate arose because of the changes in the relative profi tability of the Group’s operations in different tax jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate for the year was 10.4% (2012 restated: 9.4%).

Diluted earnings/(losses) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of 

the share options that have been granted under the Company’s share option scheme to refl ect the dilutive potential ordinary shares of the Company. A 

calculation is prepared to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determines as the average market share price of 

the Company’s shares over the period) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares 

calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of share options.

GOODWILL

Cost
  As at 1 January and 31 December 

Goodwill is allocated to HHL, a subsidiary of the Group.

For the purposes of impairment reviews, the recoverable amount of goodwill is determined based on value-in-use calculations. The value-in-use calculations use 

cash fl ow projections based on fi nancial budgets approved by management covering a fi ve-year period. Projections in excess of fi ve years are used to take into 

account increasing market share and growth momentum.

There are a number of assumptions and estimates involved for the preparation of cash fl ow projections for the period covered by the approved budget. Key 

assumptions include the expected growth in revenues and gross margin, and pre-tax discount rate of 11% (2012: 11%), to refl ect the risks involved. Management 

prepared the fi nancial budgets taking into account actual and prior year performance and market development expectations. Cash fl ows beyond that fi ve-year 

period have been extrapolated using steady growth rate of 5%. Judgment is required to determine key assumptions adopted in the cash fl ow projections and 

changes to key assumptions can signifi cantly affect these cash fl ow projections.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off and when the deferred income taxes related to the same fi scal 

authority.

The Group’s deferred tax assets are mainly related to depreciation allowances and tax losses, and deferred tax liabilities are mainly related to unremitted earnings 

from joint ventures.

The potential deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses which have not been recognised in the consolidated accounts amounted to approximately US$22,384,000 

as at 31 December 2013 (2012: US$24,124,000).

These unrecognised tax losses can be carried forward against future taxable income and will expire in the following years:

shares holders”) for a total cash consideration of approximately US$20.1 million. These convertible preference shares shall be convertible into a variable number 

of ordinary shares of HMHL subject to, amongst other terms and conditions as set out in the relevant agreements, an adjustment event that the occurrence or 

non-occurrence has not yet been determined at the inception date. Consequently, the convertible preference shares were classifi ed as fi nancial liabilities as at the

In October 2012, the Company had purchased 2,815,249 convertible preference shares amounted to US$7.67 million from one of the convertible preference 

shares holders for a consideration of approximately US$6.52 million. As a result, a gain of approximately US$1.15 million (Note 6(a)) was recognised in the 

consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2012.

share of the carrying amount of the net assets of HMHL diluted and the consideration received has been credited to equity.
