The impact on the Group’s prior results due to the impairment loss on the Group’s investment in Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited (“Leader SmartShanghai” or the “Subsidiary”), the Group’s wholly owned subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”)has been recovered this year. Following the re- consolidation of Leader Smart Shanghai into the Group’s annual accounts, the aforementioned provision of impairment loss has been written back and the Group’s results are true reflection of the operations this year. Revenue from the Group’s Security and SurveillanceSystems business remained stable during the year. Whilst the transition from analogue to digital technology creates new opportunities for the Group, it has also lead to increased competition as companies within the IT industry enter the market. This has lead to a reduction in the profit margins available in this business area. However, we managed to face the competition by carefully assessing the available opportunities, providing better services to our customers and improving our efficiency. Also, our focus on maintenance services continues. Stable cash flow from maintenance revenue is important in the current market situations. More enquiries are being received in respect of infrastructure projects to be implemented in the coming years in Hong Kong. We anticipate that some will be finalised in the second half of the next financial year. Our objective for the expansion of our Electrical and Mechanical (“E&M”) business remains. However, due to the lack of available capital no new E&M contracts are currently being undertaken. We are exploring various methods which would allow the Group to recognise revenues from the Zhongshan Project in the PRC. This may or may not include the sale of the Group’s entitlement in the Zhongshan Project, against which the project income was secured. We are also planning to set up another branch in PRC for future potential opportunities. The Directors remain confident of the future of Univision and are optimistic about the Group’s prospects. FINANCIAL REVIEW On 12 October 2010, the Group announced that a final verdict on the litigation between UniVision and Mr Ip, the former legal representative of Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited (“Leader Smart” or the “Subsidiary”), the Group’s wholly owned subsidiary inPRC had been issued by the Court in favour of the Group in September 2010. The Group has successfully obtained all of Leader Smart’schops which represent the Leader Smart’s seal, business license and the legal representative’s chop back from Mr Ip. The legal representative of Leader Smart was also changed from Mr Ip to Mr. Stephen Koo (the Executive Chairman of UniVision) in November 2010. The Group has now re-gained control over Leader Smart and restored the power to govern the financial and operating policies of Leader Smart. UniVision, as a result, is able to re- consolidate the accounts of Leader Smart into the Group’s annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2011. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the Subsidiary have been reconsolidated into the Group’s financial statements in the current year. The Group recognised a gain on reconsolidation of £8.4m in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The capital deficiency of the Group has recovered from the deconsolidation of Leader Smart in the prior year, such that total assets exceeds total liabilities at the end of year by £6.5m (2010: -£2m). The profit attributable to the equity holders of Company in this year is £8.2m (2010: £10.3m loss). The Group has the provision for impairment loss on trade and other receivables totalling £0.9m (2010: £1.1m). UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 3 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 CHAIRMAN’SSTATEMENT (Continued) The Group generated net cash of £0.5m from its operating activities in the period (2010: £1.3m) mainly due to the increase in trade and other receivables of £1m. It maintained the cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2011 of £1m (31 March 2010: £0.9m). During the year under review the relative strengthening in the HK$ against sterling has led to an 1.6% appreciation in the GBP reporting amount in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, while a relative weak closing rate at the year-end in the HK$ against sterling led to a 6.9% depreciation in the GBP reporting amount in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All figures in the Financial Statements therefore need to be adjusted for comparison purposes. Turnover in the period was increased by 32% to £8.6m (2010: £6.5m). This increase was mainly due to the inclusion of turnover from the formerly deconsolidated Subsidiary, restarting of the Group’s E&M business in Hong Kong , growth of 27 % in the value of the Group’s Hong Kong construction contracts and growth of £0.42m in the value of the Group’s Taiwan product sales. Our maintenance contracts recorded 20% growth for the Group as a whole, including a remarkable growth of 63% in the Taiwan business, which compensated for a 30% fall in revenue for its construction business. On the other hand, the Group’s business in Hong Kong is relatively stable and continues to provide a stable profit margin and steady cash flows for the Group’s operations. The Group’smajor customers in the Security and Surveillance Systems business are public organisations and government departments, which provide regular orders and reliable payment schedules. No bank overdraft and loan facilities are required for our Hong Kong company. The Directors believe there will be arise in demand for Security and Surveillance Systems business coming from proposed government infrastructure projects and from the commercial sector and a result anticipate that the Group’s turnover from this division will further improve in the next financial year. Gross profit margin improved to 39% (2010: 33%) despite an increase in operating costs as a result of inflation. The major contributing factors were business growth of 27% (£0.4m) in Hong Kong construction contracts and the inclusion of our E&M business (£1.5m) which had a higher gross profit margin than the overall business. The above factors offset the adverse effect from the 30% decline of Taiwan construction contracts which had a relatively higher gross margin than its maintenance contracts. In addition, the Group adopts effective cost control of its human resources, i.e. project and maintenance teams, sub-contractors, logistics teams, and inventory. Administration expenses increased by 20% from last year to £2m (2010: £1.7m) mainly as a result of the inclusion of £0.15m of expenses for the two years of Leader Smart whilst deconsolidated, an increase in legal and professional fees and the operating costs due to inflation. Finance costs remained constant during the year. The largest component of total finance costs (£0.62m) was the non-cash provision of accrual loan interest payable to our former holding company £0.58m (2010: £0.58m). The said provision of finance costs did not cause adverse impact on our Company’s cash flow. No significant capital investment occurred in the current year. Profit before Interest and Tax (PBIT) was £8.8m (2010 loss: £9.7m). Net profit before income tax was £8.3m (2010 loss: £10.3m). Basic earning per share for this year was 2.14p (2009 loss per share: 2.70p). UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 4 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 CHAIRMAN’SSTATEMENT (Continued) BUSINESS REVIEW Markets IMS Research’s latest report, “The World Market for CCTV and Video Surveillance Equipment –2011 Edition”, estimates that the world market for video surveillance equipment continued to achieve strong growth in 2010, in excess of 10% on the previous year, despite the persistent after-effects of the global economic downturn. The report states that growth was predominantly driven by sales of network video surveillance equipment. Network video surveillance growth continues to be bolstered by the trickle-through effect from government stimulus-funded projects and the increasing penetration of higher value network video surveillance products, such as HD cameras. IMS Research forecasts that the growth of the network video surveillance market and the decline of the analogue market will lead to a transition in 2014, with network video overtaking analogue in terms of sales revenue. However, the report predicts that in terms of shipments, analogue cameras are forecast to continue to outsell network cameras through to 2014. We have identified a number of good suppliers, manufacturers as well as technology partners, to provide complete solutions to our customers using the latest available technology. The Board is confident that we can exploit these opportunities in the coming years due to the strong growth of the network video market. Following the settlement of the litigation over Leader Smart, we will continue to explore our growth target of the E&M business in PRC. We are looking at various strategic options to access capital in order to be in a position to begin new projects. Technologies, Solutions and Products The market trend towards network video surveillance solutions continues. We are seeing increasing enquires and demand from our customers. Meanwhile, an increasing number of manufacturers are introducing high definition megapixel networked cameras in the market. We are also seeing demand for wireless video solutions. Though the video analytics market is at a relatively early stage compared to other areas of security and surveillance, it is expected that the potential of video content analysis applications is enormous. The algorithms used for video content analysis may be further enhanced and different technology, such as video indexing, may be applied to improve its application. The applications of video content analysis are considered in a sense that they are beyond surveillance purposes. We are working to indentify suitable products in these areas of the market that will provide added value to our existing portfolio of products, in order to adapt with the changing market. Acquisitions and Investments The Group continues to assess possible opportunities of new investments with a view to making a further strategic move. MTR Corporation Limited (“MTR”) & Maintenance Our maintenance contracts are particularly important to the Group as they provide regular and reliable revenue streams. We have experienced growth in this area of the business. In particular, our relationship with the MTR railway has proved to be extremely positive. We are confident that we will be able to secure other contracts in future confirmed and planned railway line developments in the coming few years, as well as continue providing our maintenance services to them. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 5 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 CHAIRMAN’SSTATEMENT (Continued) PROSPECTS Our Security and Surveillance business remains stable. Due to the infrastructure projects to be implemented in the coming years in Hong Kong, as well as the expected growing demand on Network Security and Surveillance market, we anticipate a positive outlook in this area of our business in the coming years. The E&M business in the PRC is still one of our growth targets. However, we understand that access to the additional funds required to undertake these capital intensive projects depends on external macro economic conditions. Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our customers, suppliers and shareholders for their continued support of UniVision. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the management and all the staff for their contribution and dedication to the Group. MR.

UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 13 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Introduction The Directors believe that their foremost function is to generate continuous profits for the Company’s investors, and that this should be achieved by a policy of high standards of corporate governance, integrity and ethics. As the Company is listed on AIM and not subject to the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority, it is not officially required to comply with the provisions detailed in the Combined Code on Corporate Governance. However, it is the intention of the Board to manage the Company’s and Group’s affairs in accordance with this Code, in so far as is practical and appropriate for a public company of this size and complexity. The following are a few examples on how the Directors have applied the principles of good corporate governance to manage the Company throughout the year. Board of Directors The Board directs and controls the Company and is responsible for strategy and operating performance. It meets regularly throughout the year and has adopted a schedule of matters specifically reserved for its decision. All Directors are elected by shareholders at the first opportunity after their initial appointment to the Board and to be re-elected thereafter at intervals of not more than three years. Biographical information on all the Directors is listed in the Directors’and Senior Management’s Biographies section to the annual report, which may help the shareholders to make a decision at the time of re-election. Upon their appointments, the Directors are offered an opportunity to request information and training relevant to their legal and other duties. They are also given written guidelines and rules defining their responsibilities within an AIM listed company. The Board considers that all Non-executive Directors are independent of management and day to day operation, and free from any commercial relationship with the Company. These Non-executive Directors do not participate in any of the Company’s pension schemes or bonuses. The Chairman of the Audit and Remuneration Committees is a Non-executive Director. Nomination Committee As the Board of Directors of the Company is small, there is no separate Nomination Committee. All nominations to the Board are considered by all of the Directors. Audit Committee Our Audit Committee comprises Mr. Andrew Ping Sum TANG (our Non-executive Director) and Mr. Stephen Sin Mo KOO (our Executive Chairman) and is chaired by Mr. Andrew Ping Sum TANG. The Chairman of the Audit Committee has full discretion to invite any Executive Directors to attend its meetings. The Audit Committee meets not less than twice per annum. The responsibilities of the Committee are to: - monitor the quality of the overall internal control system of all financial matters; - - - - - - review the Company’s Accounting Policies and ensure compliance with accounting standards; ensure that the financial performance of the Company is properly measured and reported on; consider the appointment/re-appointment of the external auditor; review the conduct of the audit and discuss the audit fees; review reports from the Auditors relating to the Company’s accounting and internal controls; to ensure the Company complies with the AIM Rules. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 14 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Continued) Remuneration Committee Our Remuneration Committee comprises Mr. Andrew Ping Sum TANG (our Non-executive Director) and Mr. Stephen Sin Mo KOO (our Executive Chairman) and is chaired by Mr. Andrew Ping Sum TANG. The Remuneration Committee meets as required. The responsibilities of the Committee are to: - determine the specific remuneration package for each Director including Director’s fees, salaries, allowances, bonuses, options, benefits-in-kind; and seek professional advice, including comparison with similar businesses, in order to correctly fulfil its duties, as the Committee deems appropriate. - In discharging its functions, the Committee may obtain independent external legal and other professional advices as it deems necessary. The expense of such advice shall be borne by the Company. Internal Control The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the Company maintains an internal financial control system with appropriate monitoring procedures for all Group companies. The purpose of this system is to reliable financial safeguard Company assets, maintain proper accounting records, and ensure that information is used within the Group and for publication purposes. However, the system is designed to manage rather than completely eliminate risk and can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement. In order to achieve the above responsibilities, the Board meets regularly and monitors the Company’s internal financial control by reviewing the overall process and the performance of the systems, setting annual budgets and periodic forecasts, and seeking any prior approval for all significant expenditure. The Group currently does not have an internal audit department and after extensive review and consideration, the Board has concluded that the existing control mechanisms are sufficient for the size of the Group. This decision will be kept under review. Going Concern After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company’s and Group’s financial statements. Investor Relations The Company realises that effective communication can increase transparency and accountability to its shareholders; as such, the Company discloses its information to its shareholders through RNS (i.e. the news distribution service operated by the London Stock Exchange plc). The same information can also be found on the Company’s website (www.uvel.com). The Company will make every effort to ensure that all price- sensitive information is released publicly and immediately. If an immediate announcement is not possible, the Company will try to publicize the information at the earliest time possible to ensure that the shareholders and the public have fair access to it. The Company will send the Annual Report and the notice of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to all its shareholders. This notice is also made available on RNS. The Company recognises the importance of the shareholders’views and encourages them to attend the AGMs where they can share their opinions and raise direct queries and concerns towards the Directors, including the chairperson of each of the Board Committees. The shareholders are also welcomed to discuss any issues on an informal basis at the conclusion of the AGMs. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 15 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’RESPONSIBILITIES The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Directors are responsible for preparing financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of the profit or loss for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:  select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;  make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;  state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;  prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the Company will continue in business.

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body, in compliance with the Alternative Investment Market Rules (“AIM Rules”) for companies as published by the London Stock Exchange plc. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders as a body for this report or for the opinions we have formed. Directors’responsibility for the financial statements The directors are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgments, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

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 8/F Lever Tech Centre, 69-71 King Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. 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, the sale of security system related products and provision for electronic and mechanical services. 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 (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement and assumptions in the process of applying its accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 4. 3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTINGS STANDARDS (“IFRS”) In the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current financial year. The adoption of these new/revised IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations has no material effect on the financial statements. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 27 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTINGS STANDARDS (“IFRS”)(CONTINUED) New and Revised IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory that are relevant for the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011 or later periods and which the Group has not early adopted. They are as follows: Revised IAS 24 - Related Party Disclosures IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January 2011 or later Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January 2013 or later Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January 2013 or later IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amendments) 2013 or later Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January 2013 or later Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January 2013 or later Effective for annual periods commencing 1 January 2013 or later The nature of the changes in accounting policy on adopting the revised IAS 24 is described below: The revised IAS 24 clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised IAS 24 expands the definition of a related party and would treat two entities as related to each other whenever a person (or a close member of that person’s family) or a third party has control or joint control over the entity, of has significant influence over the entity. The revised standard also introduces a partial exemption of disclosures requirements for government-related entities. The Group is currently determining the impact the changes to the definition of a related party will have on the disclosures of related party transactions. As this is a disclosure standard, it will have no impact on the financial position or financial performance of the Group when implemented in 2011. The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements. 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 4.1 Basis of consolidation (a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 28 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.1 Basis of consolidation (continued) (a) Subsidiaries (continued) 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. Acquisitions 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. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income. 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. (b) Transactions with non-controlling interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests 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. When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in 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 reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 29 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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 chief operating decision-maker 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 measuredusing the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“thefunctional 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. 2. 3. 4. UniVision Engineering Limited T-Com Technology Co. Limited Leader Smart Engineering Limited Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited (“LSSH”) Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) New Taiwan Dollars (“NTD”) Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) (“RMB”) Renminbi Yuan (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 income statement, 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 income statement within “finance income or cost”. Allother 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.3 Foreign currency (continued) (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) (ii) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; income and expenses for each income statement 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 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. 4.4 Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are 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 Computer equipment Motor vehicles Research assets 5 years 3 years 3 years 5 years Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.4 Plant and equipment (continued) 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 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 the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, identified according to operating segment. 4.6 Research and development expenditure Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:  the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;  the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;  the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;  how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;  the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and  the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is reported at cost less UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 32 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.7 Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example, goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Other assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. impairment whenever events or changes the lowest 4.8 Financial assets Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. (i) Classification The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than twelve months after the end of the reporting period which are presented as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are presented as “trade and other receivables” and “cash and bank balances” on the balance sheet. (ii) Recognition and derecognition Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade dates – the dates on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On disposal of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognised in profit or loss. (iii) Initial measurement Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. (iv) Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 33 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.8 Financial assets (continued) (v) Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments are objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired. The carrying amount of these assets is reduced through the use of an impairment allowance account which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in profit or loss. The allowance for impairment loss account is reduced through profit or loss in a subsequent period when the amount of impairment loss decreases and the related decrease can be objectively measured. The carrying amount of the asset previously impaired is increased to the extent that the new carrying amount does not exceed the amortised cost, had no impairment been recognised in prior periods. 4.9 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group and Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, plus, in the case of financial liabilities other than derivatives, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.10 Construction contracts When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the balance sheet date. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Contracts in progress at the balance sheet date are recorded in the balance sheet at the net amount of costs incurred plus recognised profit less recognised losses and progress billings, and are presented under the caption of “Trade and other receivables”or “Trade and other payables”in the balance sheet as the “Amountsdue from customers for contracts-in-progress” (as an asset) or the “Amounts due to customers for contracts-in-progress” (as a liability), as applicable. Progress billings not yet paid by the customer are included in the balance sheet. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the balance sheet, as a liability, as “Advances received”. 4.11 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. 4.12 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 Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings intended use or sale. pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 4.13 Financial guarantee contracts A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract issued by the Group is initially measured at its fair value, less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial guarantee contract. Subsequently, the Group measures the financial guarantee contract at the higher of: (i) the amount of the present legal or constructive obligation under the contract at the reporting date, as determined in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.14 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of business tax, value-added tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue and related cost can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. (i) Construction contracts Revenue from construction contracts is recognised when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably:  revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised using the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs for the contract; and  revenue from a cost plus contract is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus an appropriate proportion of the total fee, measured by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the contract. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. (ii) Maintenance contracts Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of maintenance contract. (iii) Product sales Revenue from product sales is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers and the passing of title to customers. (iv) Interest income Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.15 Income tax Income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 4.16 Provisions Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group or the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can been reliably estimated. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be reliably estimated, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. 4.17 Employee benefit These comprise short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plan. Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values. 4.18 Leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The Company and the Group as lessee – Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Company and the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to profit or loss. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight line basis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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. (a) Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements. (i) Estimation of contract costs Estimated costs to complete contracts are judged by the directors through the application of their experience and knowledge of the industry in which the Group operates. However, contract performance can be difficult to predict accurately. The directors believe that contract budgets do not deviate materially from actual costs incurred due to a strong cost control system with regular review of budgets which highlight any incidences that could affect estimated costs to completion. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below. (b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are: (i) Impairment of trade and other receivables The estimation of impairment of trade and other receivables includes an assessment of recoverability of individual account balances and a review of ageing analysis of trade and other receivables by the directors. The directors will also review the credit history of customers in assessing the recoverability of trade and other receivables. When any indication comes to their attention that a trade and other receivable might not be recovered in full, impairment will be made and recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 March 2011, the total carrying amount of trade and other receivables are £14,842,916 (2010: £4,400,341).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) (b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) (ii) Deferred income tax As at 31 March 2011, the Group has unused tax losses of £4,411,038 (2010: £5,368,856) available for offset against future profits. A deferred tax asset of £727,821 (2010: £885,861) has not been recognised in respect of the unused tax losses. In cases where there are future profits generated to utilise the tax losses, a material deferred tax asset may arise, which would be recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period in which such future profits are recorded. 6.

Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how these risks are mitigated are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) (b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued) (i) Market risk (1) Currency risk Certain entities in the Group have foreign currency transactions and have foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Company has foreign currency transactions, which expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities, mainly represented by trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, trade and other payables and borrowings, at the end of the reporting period are as follows: The Group The Company Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 NTD RMB USD HK$ 110,429,36 125,592,045 459,128 29,255,983 112,770,825 - 347,897 29,769,288 94,792,795 34,640,001 8,280,118 9,793,489 93,930,365 15,216 7,448,385 17,739,283 - - 455,983 26,676,932 - - 346,274 - 955 8,280,118 29,243,150 ` 9,740,316 - 15,216 7,413,019 17,694,033 The Group currently does not have any policy on hedges of foreign currency risk.

A positive/(negative) number indicates a decrease/(increase) in post-tax profit/(loss) for the year when £ strengthens 5% (2010: 5%) against the relevant foreign currencies. For a 5% (2010: 5%) weakening of £ against the relevant currency, there would be an equal but opposite impact on the post-tax profit/(loss) for the year.

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

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) (i) Market risk (continued) (2) Interest rate risk (continued) Sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the change in interest rates and the exposure to interest rates for the non-derivative financial liabilities at the balance sheet date and on the assumption that the amount outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year and held constant throughout the financial year. The 25 basis points increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates over the period until the next annual balance sheet date. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010. For the year ended 31 March 2011, if interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit the year would increase/decrease by approximately £2,302 (2010: £2,213). for (ii) Credit risk At 31 March 2011, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations of its customers’ financial position and condition are performed on each and every major customer periodically. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments their due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Debts are usually due within 90 days from the date of billing. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate also has an influence on credit the Group had no significant the balance sheet date, concentrations of credit risk where individual trade and other receivables balance exceed 10% of the total trade and other receivables at the balance sheet date. risk. At The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. Also, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers. Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are set out in note 21.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) (iii) Liquidity risk In managing the liquidity risk, the Group’s policy is to regularly monitor and maintain an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents determined by management to finance the Group’s operations. Management also needs to ensure the continuity of funding for both the short and long terms, and to mitigate the effects of cash flow fluctuation. At 31 March 2011, the Group had aggregate banking facilities of £1,981,477 (2010: £2,346,849), of which £1,035,923 were unused (2010: £1,178,913).

The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate to their fair values. (d) Capital risk management The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with a higher level of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions. The Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of a net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. For this purpose the Group defines net debt as total debt (which includes bank borrowings and other financial liabilities) less bank deposits and cash. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity less unaccrued proposed dividends. UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 46 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) (d) Capital risk management (continued) During 2011, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2010, was to maintain the net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio as low as feasible. In order to maintain or adjust the ratio, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiary undertakings are subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The net debt-to-adjusted capital ratios of the Group and the Company at the end of the reporting period were as follows: Current liabilities Trade and other payables Interest-bearing borrowings Current tax liability Obligation under finance lease Non-current liabilities Obligation under finance lease The Group The Company 2011 £ 5,536,162 4,684,320 1,174,806 3,786 11,399,074 2010 £ 3,342,153 5,165,203 15,116 4,048 8,526,520 2011 £ 2,368,070 3,738,766 - 3,786 6,110,622 2010 £ 2,461,725 3,997,267 - 4,048 6,463,040 947 5,060 947 5,060 Total debt 11,400,021 8,531,580 6,111,569 6,468,100 Less: cash and bank balances 1,023,526 884,174 859,245 713,066 Net debt 10,376,495 7,647,406 5,252,324 5,755,034 Total equity / (capital deficiency) Net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio 6,553,754 (2,053,425) (475,631) (2,568,104) 158% -372% -1104% -224% UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 47 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 7.

UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED - 64 - ANNUAL REPORT 2011 UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2011 31. FINANCIAL GUARANTEE In accordance with the Circular of “Re-financing of Zhongshan shopping mall project”dated 10 December 2009, the Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LSSH provided a guarantee in respect of secured short-term financing arrangement with a maximum amount of up to £4.4 million (including outstanding principal and accrued interest and charges) at the date of report. Pursuant to the terms of the guarantee, at any time from the date of guarantee, in event of default in repayments, the Group is fully liable to repay the outstanding loan principal, together with penalty charges, accrued interest and related late fees, after netting off the pledged assets. The Group’s guarantee period starts from the date of grant of the financial arrangement and ends when it is fully repaid. At 31 March 2011, the secured short-term loan has become overdue and the financial arrangement is in negotiations for extension, but has not yet reached a final agreement as to repayment of the borrowings. In connection with the Zhongshan shopping mall project (the “Zhongshan Project”), the Group received a security over a certain share of interest in the Zhongshan Project. At 31 March 2011, the fair market value of the Zhongshan Project amounted to £24 million, based on the appraisal report issued by an independent valuer. The Group has engaged an independent valuer to measure the fair value of such financial guarantee. Up to the date of this report, the Group determines that no provision for financial guarantee is required because the maximum amount of the issued financial guarantee contract in which the guarantee could be demanded, is fully recovered by the fair value of certain interest held by the Group in the Zhongshan Project. 32. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Up to the date of this report, the Group has received several legal claims against its wholly-owned subsidiary from the vendors in China in connection with the transactions previously entered into by the former director of LSSH. The Group plans to file counter-claims to the Court against the former director of LSSH for all costs and compensations in respect of these legal claims. At this point, the Group does not believe that these legal proceedings would have a material impact or result in significant contingencies, therefore no provision for any costs has been made by the Group.
