CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


On behalf of the board of China Wonder and it subsidiaries (the 'Group'), I am pleased to present the Group's Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2008.


For the year ended 31 December 2008 the Group recorded a profit before tax of 128,667 (2007:306,951) on sales revenue of 2,611,329 (2007:2,336,967). Basic earnings per ordinary share amounted to 0.95p (2007: 1.65p). At the year end, Group cash and cash equivalents amounted to 334,666 (2007:609,391) and borrowings amounted to150,394 (2007:138,172).


The slowdown in the world economy had an extremely adverse affect on China Wonder in the second half of the year, resulting in the Group's order book suffering a substantial declineBoth Wonder Packaging Limited ('Wonder Packaging'and Wonder Equipment Limited ('Wonder Equipment'struggled to gain new business during this period. Despite prompt actions taken to reduce costs, the Group was not able to achieve profitability in the second half of the year.


Since the year end, there has been a significant improvement in trading. Wonder Packaging has a solid order book through to the end of June 2009, with one customer placing orders for three new production lines for delivery before the end of June. The Board remains hopeful that this improvement will continue.


Your Board continues to explore ways of building China Wonder and has looked at a number of businesses in the UK with a view to transferring their production to ChinaThe Group remains focused on building the business both organically and through diversification.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff for their hard work during what has been a difficult period. Meanwhile I would like to thank Mr. Dellar, former Chairman, and Mr. Zhao, former CEO, for their work in starting and growing China Wonder.


The Board remains confident that with a recovery in the general Chinese economy, the Group can once again enjoy a sustained period of growth.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES












Statement of compliance












The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations in force ('IFRSs'), as adopted by the European Union, and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.




In accordance with the transitional arrangements provided in IFRS 2 Share-based payments, IFRS 2 has not been applied to the Company's share options as they had fully vested prior to 1 January 2005.




At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:




Standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards not yet effective 



Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 or later periods and which the Group has decided not to adopt early. These are:  




 - IAS 23, Borrowing Costs (revised) (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The revised IAS 23 is still to be endorsed by the EU. The main change from the previous version is the removal of the option of immediately recognising as an expense borrowing costs that relate to qualifying assets, broadly being assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. The Group is currently assessing its impact on the financial statements. 




IFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). This standard sets out requirements for the disclosure of information about an entity's operating segments and also about the entity's products and services, the geographical areas in which it operates, and its major customers. It replaces IAS 14, Segmental Reporting. The group expects to apply this standard in the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2009. As this is a disclosure standard it will not have any impact on the results or net assets of the Group.




 Revised IFRS 3, Business Combinations and complementary Amendments to IAS 27, 'Consolidated and separate financial statements' (both effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). This revised standard and amendments to is still to be endorsed by the EU. The revised IFRS 3 and amendments to IAS 27 arise from a joint project with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US standards setter, and result in IFRS being largely converged with the related, recently issued, US requirements. There are certain very significant changes to the requirements of IFRS, and options available, if accounting for business combinations. Management is currently assessing the impact of revised IFRS 3 and amendments to IAS 27 on the accounts.




- Amendment to IFRS 2, Share-based payments: vesting conditions and cancellations (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). This amendment is still to be endorsed by the EU. The Amendment to IFRS 2 is of particular relevance to companies that operate employee shares save schemes. This is because it results in an immediate acceleration of the IFRS 2 expense that would otherwise have been recognised in future periods should an employee decide to stop contributing to the savings plan, as well as a potential revision to the fair value of the awards granted to factor in the probability of employees withdrawing from such a plan. Management is currently assessing the impact of the Amendment on the accounts.




Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The revised IAS 1 introduces a single 'statement of comprehensive income' incorporating both the profits and losses that have traditionally been reported in the income statement and other gains and losses that are currently reported in the Statement of Changes in Equity. As a result, the 'statement of comprehensive income' reports all non-owner changes in equity. Other non-owner changes in equity include revaluations, actuarial gains and losses, translation gains and losses on foreign subsidiaries, remeasuring available for sale financial assets, and the effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges.




The revised statement of changes in equity only reports transactions with owners (e.g. capital raised and dividends paid) and prior period restatements. It will not report non-owner income and expenses. In addition, the balance sheet will be renamed the statement of financial position and the cash flow statement will become the statement of cash flows. The Group expects to apply this standard in the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2009.




- IFRIC 16 Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008). The IFRIC clarifies certain aspects of IAS39 with respect to hedge accounting. The impact of this interpretation on the Group's financial statements is not expected to be material.





Critical accounting estimates and judgments 



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make assumptions that affects the application of accounting policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors, the results of which form the basis for the judgements that underlie the carrying value of the assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant areas in which judgements are required relate to the estimate of useful economic lives and residual values of non-current assets and the recoverable amount of current and non-current assets (in particular inventories and trade receivables). The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. 




Judgments 



In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgment, apart from those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.



The acquisition of Jinzhou Wonder Machinery Equipment co Ltd has been accounted for using the principles of acquisition accounting, which involve the estimation of fair values for separable assets and liabilities acquired.




Having considered that produce of the acquired subsidiary is bespoke, and that the business of the subsidiary is ever changing and with no repeat business being expected from customers, customer contracts are assessed to be generally short-lived as they generally extend for less than six months.




There is considered to be no history or evidence of exchange transactions for the same potential intangible assets and the directors therefore consider that there is no significant value to any such intangible assets. Due to these reasons the fair value of customer lists are not considered to be significant.

Resulting from this estimation, goodwill is recognized as arising from the acquisition in the absence of other separable intangible assets. Review of the potential impairment of such goodwill involves judgements relating to future economic events.





Estimates and assumptions 



Allowance for doubtful trade receivables 
The Group makes sales on credit. A proportion of the outstanding credit sales may prove uncollectible in due course. An estimate is made of the uncollectible portion of accounts receivables using a calculation based on prior experience and an evaluation of the amounts outst
anding. In aggregate, £233,576 (2007: £92,555) is considered to be at risk in respect of amounts due from trade customers. There is a degree of uncertainty as to actions the Group is able to undertake to enforce collection of these debts, which may impact the eventual recoverable amounts. Accordingly, the Directors have assessed their best estimate of the recoverability of these debts as nil. More details of the allowance for doubtful trade and other receivables is provided in Note 16.




The company reviews the net realisable value of, and demand for, its inventory on a regular basis to provide assurance that recorded inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Factors that could impact estimated demand and selling prices include the timing and success of future technological innovations, competitor actions, supplier prices and economic trends. Changes of the expected net realizable value of inventory could potentially result in the reduction of the profit for the year. The Group has not made significant provision for slow moving and obsolete stock as its amount was negligible. 




Basis of consolidation












Where the company has the power, either directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity or business so as to obtain benefits from its activities, it is classified as a subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its subsidiaries ('the Group') as if they formed a single entity. Inter-company transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.




Goodwill












Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the interest in the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Cost comprises the fair values of assets given, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued, plus any direct costs of acquisition.




Goodwill is capitalised as an intangible asset with any impairment in carrying value being charged to the income statement, through administrative expenses, and is not subsequently reversed.




Where the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceed the fair value of consideration paid, the excess is credited in full to the income statement.




Foreign currency












Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the 'functional currency') are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. 




The presentation currency of the Group is pounds sterling and therefore the financial statements have been translated from RMB to pounds sterling at the following exchange rates:







Year-end rates




Average rates





31 December 2007

1=RMB14.4747




1=RMB15.2451





31 December 2008

1=RMB9.9738




1=RMB12.9626




On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations, including goodwill arising on the acquisition of those operations, are translated at the rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised directly in equity (the 'Translation reserve'). Exchange differences recognised in the income statement of Group entities' separate financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Group's net investment in the overseas operation concerned are reclassified to the Translation reserve.




On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in the foreign exchange reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the income statement as part of the profit or loss on disposal.




Borrowing costs












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




Income tax 












Income tax for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case such tax is recognised in equity.




Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.




Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences as at the balance sheet date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes except for differences arising on: 



the initial recognition of goodwill,



the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting or taxable profit, and



investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.




The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.




A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.




Dividends












Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. In respect of interim dividends to equity shareholders, this is when they are declared and paid. In respect of final dividends to equity shareholders, this is when they are approved by the members at the Annual General Meeting.




Property, plant and equipment












Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over its useful economic life, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows: 





Buildings





20 years







Plant, machinery, furniture and fixtures



5-10 years







Motor vehicles





5 years







Office equipment





5 years






Land use rights and patent rights











Expenditure on land use rights and patents rights are capitalised and treated as an intangible fixed asset. 



Land use rights and patents are amortised through administrative expenses over the period to which the rights or patent relate.



The estimated useful lives are as follows: 







Land use right





41-43 years







Patent rights





10 years






Impairment of assets












The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised through administrative expenses in the income statement.




The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash generating unit.




An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses in respect of goodwill are not reversed.




Investment in subsidiary undertakings











Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for any impairment in value.




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 finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.




Financial assets












Financial assets are cash and bank balances and trade and other receivables. 




Trade and other receivables are stated at cost as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. 




Known bad receivables are written off as incurred when collection for the full amount is no longer probable, and an estimate for doubtful debts made based on past experience.




Cash and cash equivalents












Cash comprises cash in hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the cashflow statement, cash equivalents would include advances from banks repayable within 3 months from the date of the advance.




Financial liabilities and equity












Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, amounts due to related parties and shareholders, bank borrowings and notes payable.  




Trade and other payables are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group.




All borrowings and overdrafts are recorded at fair value, being the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges are charged to the income statement on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method.




Equity instruments are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received, net of direct issue costs.




Sales revenue recognition












Sales revenue is recognised when goods are delivered and commissioned at the customers' premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Sales revenue excludes value added or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.




Government grants












Government grants received on capital expenditure are deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset purchased. Grants for revenue expenditure are presented separately on the face of the consolidated income statement.




Where retention of the government grant is dependent on the Group satisfying certain criteria it is initially recognised as deferred income. When the criteria for retention have been satisfied, the deferred income balance is released to the income statement or netted against the asset purchased as appropriate.




Related parties












Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

EARNINGS PER SHARE












The earnings per share is based on the profit for the year of £171,374 (2007: £266,372) and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 18,000,000 (2007: 16,164,384) in issue for the year.



The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of earnings per share has been derived as follows:












2008


2007

















Weighted average number of ordinary shares - basic




18,000,000 


16,164,384 



Dilutive effect of warrants







  -  


  - 












 


 



Weighted average number of ordinary shares - diluted




18,000,000 


16,164,384 




The Company's share price at 31 December 2008 was £0.07 (2007:£0.11), whereas warrants are excercisable at £0.24. Therefore the warrants have no dilutive effect at 31 December 2008.

DIVIDENDS












The Directors do not propose a dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2008 (2007: nil).

On 27 February 2007 the Company acquired 100% of the registered capital of Jinzhou Wonder Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd ('WE') for a consideration of 5,500,000 Ordinary shares in the Company and £100,000 in cash. WE is incorporated in the People's Republic of China. The nature of its business is the manufacture and sale of bespoke machinery and associated spare parts. The registered capital of WE was in 2008 increased by the reinvestment of a dividend amounting to RMB 2,096,610 (£152,633).



Jinzhou Wonder Packing Machinery Co. Ltd ('WP') is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is incorporated in the People's Republic of China. The nature of its business is the manufacture and sale of packaging machines and associated spare parts. The registered capital of WP was in 2007 increased by the reinvestment of a dividend amounting to RMB 7,516,600(£489,595).



In 2007 amounts standing to the credit of reserves amounting to £489,595 were converted into share capital in the Company's subsidiary, Jinzhou Wonder Packing Machinery Co Ltd. No movement in funds was involved. 




Error in Prior Period



The capitalisation issue received from Jinzhou Wonder Packing Machinery Co Ltd took place during the 2007 financial year. This transaction was however not accounted for in the parent company. Retained loss and Investments held by the parent company have thus been restated to correct this error. There is no effect from this error on consolidation and no effect on the earnings per share previously reported.



The effect of this correction is as follows: (only the 2007 financial year is affected)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS











In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. 
There have been 
no substantive changes in the Group's exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.



Principal financial instruments



The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:



 - Trade and other receivables 



 - Cash and cash equivalents



 - Trade and other payables



 - Bank borrowings



All financial assets are designated as receivables and financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.



General objectives, politices and procedures



The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes to executive management.



The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below: 


a)

Credit risk












Credit risk arises principally from the Group's trade and other receivables.



The Group controls the credit risk from customers through deposit payments prior to delivery of goods. 



Trade and other receivables presented in the balance sheet are net of an allowance for doubtful receivables, estimated by management based on current economic conditions. Receivables net of this allowance for doubtful receivables is the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk, being £2,011,382 (2007: £1,600,910)



The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. Cash is placed with creditworthy financial institutions. The trade and other receivables presented in the balance sheet are net of an allowance for doubtful receivables, estimated by management based on current economic conditions.



Quantitative disclosures of the credit risk in relation to trade and other receivables are disclosed in Note 16.



The majority of cash and cash equivalents are kept with reputable state-owned Chinese banks.


b)

Liquidity Risk



Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.



The Group's policy as regards liquidity is to ensure sufficient cash resources are maintained to meet short-term liabilities. The Group has no defaults or breaches on its financial liabilities. 


c)

Currency Risk



Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that movement in foreign currency exchange rates against the Group's functional or reporting currency will affect the Group's financial results and cash flows. The Group has transaction currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales by an operating unit in currencies other than its functional currency. Approximately 4% of the Group's sales are denominated in USD. The Group's policy as it relates to currency risks to limit payment terms to immediate letters of credit or prepayment before transporting goods to clients. 



If the exchange rate on uncovered exposures were to move significantly between the year end and date of payment or receipt there could be an impact on the Group's net income. As all financial assets and liabilities are short term in nature, this risk is not considered to be substantial.



Foreign exchange risk has not been considered to be material in either the current or preceding period.


d)

Interest rate risk



Interest rate risk arises from the potential changes in interest rates that may have an adverse effect on the Group in the current reporting period and in future years.



The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of change in interest rates on interest bearing debts and interest bearing cash. Other than the bank deposits and borrowings, the Group has no other significant interest bearing assets and liabilities. The Group's policy is to secure all its borrowings at fixed borrowing rates.



Interest rate risk has not been considered to be material in either the current or preceding period.


e)

Capital



The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital, share premium and retained earnings. In managing its capital, the Group's primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent return for its equity shareholders through a combination of capital growth and distributions. The Group has historically considered a mix of debt and equity funding as the most appropriate form of capital for the Group.
