Notes to Income Statement

The Group currently operates eight toll roads, they are Yongtaiwen Expressway, Beilun Port Expressway, Jiurui Expressway, three Guangxi Expressways, Gui Liu Expressway and Gui Huang Highway. Yongtaiwen Expressway, Beilun Port Expressway, Jiurui Expressway, three Guangxi Expressways are accounted for as subsidiaries and contribute most of the Group revenue. Gui Liu Expressway and Gui Huang Highway are accounted for as joint ventures using the equity method. Toll revenue from these joint ventures is not included in Group revenue and contribution from them is mainly recognised below the operating level.


(i). Group revenue and gross profit for the year ended 31 December 2015 increased 9% and 17% respectively compared to the previous year. The increase in Group revenue was largely attributable to the consolidation of three Guangxi Expressways within the year, the revenue growth of Yongtaiwen Expressway, and full year revenue contribution from Jiurui Expressway in 2015, offset by contribution decrease slightly from Beilun Port Expressway. Group gross profit was up mainly due to aforesaid increased revenue contribution and stable cost of sales against revenue increase.


(ii). Other operating income decreased mainly due to absence of exchange gain recorded in 2014, lesser bargain purchase gain arose from the acquisitions of three Guangxi Expressways in 2015 compared to bargain purchase gain of HK$22.7 million arose from the acquisition of Jiurui Expressway in 2014, lower deferred income and effective interest income on other receivables relating to compensation granted by local government authorities as a result of the relocation and removal of certain toll stations along Gui Huang Highway (Please refer to the announcement dated 23 January 2014 for details).


(iii). Administrative expenses increased mainly due to cost increase in relation to acquisitions of three Guangxi Expressways, consolidation result from the thee Guangxi Expressways, and full year result presentation of Jiurui Expressway.


(iv). Other operating expenses increased mainly due to higher exchange loss as a result of RMB currency depreciation against HK$ in translation at consolidation level.

(v). Finance costs increased mainly due to higher bank borrowing amount and higher USD interest rate.


(vi). Subsidy income is granted by the Sino joint venture partner of Gui Huang joint ventures from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2015 in accordance to the original joint venture agreement and is extended to 31 October 2017 subsequently according to the supplemental contract signed in December 2013 in view of the reduction of concession period by six years for Gui Huang Class 1 Highway (Please refer to the Company's announcement dated 20 December 2013 for further details). Subsidy income, calculated based on 40% of the non-cash expenses (mainly depreciation and amortisation charges) of the joint ventures, decreased as a result of the decrease in amortisation of toll road operating rights in the current period following the change in the concession period.


(vii). Share of results of joint ventures relates to the contributions from the Group's two toll roads, namely Gui Liu Expressway and Gui Huang Highway. The details are set out in item 8.


(viii). Income tax expense increased as a result of higher income tax expense registered by Yongtaiwen Expressway, Beilun Port Expressway, and Jiurui Expressway and the consolidation of results of three Guangxi Expressways.
