AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE DIRECTORS OF

PERICOM TECHNOLOGY INC.

(Incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability)

We have audited the financial statements on pages 2 to 37 which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

The Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view. In preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those financial statements and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company’s and the Group’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 30th June 2006 and of the Group’s profit and cash flows for the year then ended.

2. ADOPTION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

(            “            H            K             F            R            S             s            ”            )

AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the current year, the Company and its subsidiaries collectively (“the Group”) has applied, for the first time, all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. The changes in presentation have been applied retrospectively. The application of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations have resulted in changes to the Group’s accounting policies in the following areas.

HKFRS 2 - Share-based payment

In the current year, the Group has applied HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment which requires an expense to be recognised where the Group buys goods or obtains services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transaction”) and liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments to be recognised at the current fair value at each balance sheet date. The principal impact of HKFRS 2 results in a reduction in profit as such items have not been recognised as expenses. Prior to the adoption of HKFRS 2, the Group did not recognise the financial effect of these share options until they were exercised. The Group has applied HKFRS 2 to share options granted on or after 7 November 2002. In relation to share options granted on or before 7 November 2002 and vested before 1 January 2005, the group chooses not to apply HKFRS 2.

The financial impact on adoption of HKFRS 2 has been disclosed in Note 3.

AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONT’D

HKAS 17 - Leases

In prior years, leasehold land and buildings held for own use were stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Upon the adoption of HKAS 17, the Group’s leasehold interest in land and buildings is separated into leasehold land and buildings. The Group’s leasehold land is classified as an operating lease, because the title of the land is not expected to pass to the Group by the end of the lease term, and is reclassified from property, plant and equipment to prepaid land lease payments, while buildings continue to be classified as part of property, plant and equipment. Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently amortised on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

This change in accounting policy has had no effect on the consolidated income statement and retained earnings.

 

3. SUMMARY OF THE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Auditors’ Report

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain equity investments which are measured at fair values.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.

 

  (b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries made up to 30 June of each year together with the Group’s share of the results for the year of its associate.

 

  (c) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all 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.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

In the Company’s balance sheet, the interests in subsidiaries and amounts due from subsidiaries are stated at cost less any provision for impairment losses (see note 4(h)). The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

Auditors’ Report

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONT’D

 

  (d) Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

An interest in an associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method and is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group’s share of the associate’s net assets. The consolidated income statement reflects the Group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the associates for the year. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.

Unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred, in which case they are recognised immediately in the income statement.

In the Company’s balance sheet, its interest in an associate is stated at cost less provision for impairment losses.

 

  (e) Property, plant and equipment

 

  (i) Valuation

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheets at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure relating to a property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Group. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

  (ii) Depreciation

Building situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired term of lease and their estimated useful lives, being 30 years.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of other property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis as follows:

 

Leasehold improvements

   10% - 20%

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

   20% - 33%

Motor vehicle

   20%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

  (e) Property, plant and equipment – cont’d

 

  (iii) Disposals

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of a property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the estimated net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement on the date of retirement or disposal.

 

  (f) Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

  (g) Leased assets

Operating lease charges

Where the Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to the income statement in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term.

The cost of acquiring land held under an operating lease is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

 

  (h) Impairment of assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the assets may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognized no longer exists or may have decreased.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement whenever the carrying amount of such asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is reversed only if the loss was caused by a specific external event of an exceptional nature that is not expected to recur, and the increase in recoverable amount related clearly to the reversal of the effect of that specific event.

A reversal of impairment losses is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. Reversal of impairment losses is credited to the income statement in the year in which the reversal is recognized.

Auditors’ Report

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONT’D

 

  (i) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average method and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion 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.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

 

  (j) Account and other receivables

Account and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debt.

 

  (a) Interest free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting being immaterial, that are measured at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts, if any; and

 

  (b) Short term receivables with no stated interest rate and the effect of discounting being immaterial, that are measured at their original invoice amount less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debt, if any.

 

  (k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and at bank and demand deposits with bank. 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.

  (l) Employee benefits

 

  (i) Short term employee benefits and contribution to defined contribution retirement plans

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, leave passage, contributions to defined contribution plans and the cost to the Group of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.

Contributions to Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme as required under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

 

  (ii) Share-based payments

The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in an employee compensation reserve within equity. The fair value is measured at grant date using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the share options, the total estimated fair value of the share options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the options will vest.

During the vesting period, the number of share options that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognised in prior years is charged/ credited to the income statement for the year of review, unless the original employees expenses qualify for recognition of an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the employee compensation reserve. On vesting date, the amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to the employee compensation reserve) except where forfeiture is only due to not achieving vesting conditions that relate to the market price of the company’s shares. The equity amount is recognised in the employee compensation reserve until either the option is exercised or the option expires.

  (m) Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income and expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes income statement items that are never taxable and deductible.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, base on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

 

  (n) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

 

  (o) Revenue recognition

 

  (i) Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

 

  (ii) Commission and service income are recognised when services are provided.

 

  (iii) Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and interest rates applicable.

 

  (iv) Sales of investments in securities are recognised when the related bought and sold notes are executed.

Auditors’ Report

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONT’D

 

  (p) Investment in securities

Other investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are initially recognised at fair value. At each balance sheet date the fair value is re-measured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised directly in equity, except for impairment losses and , in case of monetary items such as debt securities, foreign exchange gain and losses which are recognised directly in profit or loss. Where these investments are interest-bearing, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. When these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

 

  (q) Translation of foreign currencies

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in United States Dollars, the presentation currency for consolidated financial statements.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange difference arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Group’s translation reserve. Such translation differences are recognized as income or as expenses in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the re-translation of monetary items, are included in profit and loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on the re-translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the re-translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in equity.

No provision for PRC Enterprises Income Tax has been made as the taxable profit of Pericom Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. is exempted from PRC Enterprises Income Tax for its first profit-making year of operation and LOGO has incurred taxation losses for the year.

19. STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 1994, the Company approved the establishment of the Pericom Technology Inc. 1994 Flexible Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), under which stock options awards (“Option(s)”) may be made to employees (including officers and directors who are employee) of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan will remain effective unless terminated by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).

The maximum number of common stock which may be issued or delivered and as to which awards may be granted under the Plan was 2,250,000 shares. The exercise price for Options must be at least equal to 100% (110% with respect to incentive stock options granted to persons holding 10% or more of the outstanding common stock) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of such Options for incentive option, which are available only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of such stock option for other stock options.

The duration of each Option will be determined by a committee which the Board delegates the responsibility for administering the Plan (the “Committee”), but no Options will be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant (or, with respect to incentive stock options granted to persons holding ten percent or more of the outstanding common stock not more than five years from the date of grant). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable option agreement, Options can be exercisable within three months of any termination of employment, including termination due to disability, death or normal retirement (but no later than the expiration date of the Options).

Details of the Options granted under the Plan are as follows:

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets of the Group mainly include inventories, trade, other receivable, and prepayments, cash and bank balances. Financial liabilities of the Group mainly include trade accounts and other payables and amount due to shareholders.

The directors considered that the carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments approximated their fair values at the balance sheet date. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainty and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Group is exposed to various kinds of risks in its operations and financial instruments. The Group’s risk management objectives and policies mainly focus on minimizing the potential effects on the following risks of the Group by closely monitoring the individual exposure as follows:

 

(a) Credit risk

Cash and bank balances

Substantial amounts of the Company’s bank balances are deposited with the banks in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China.

Trade and other receivables

The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables, if any, estimated by the company’s management based on prior experience and their assessment of the current economic environment. All trade and other receivables are closely monitored by the company’s management.

 

(b) Liquidity risk

The Group manages its funds conservatively by monitoring a comfortable level of cash and cash equivalents in order to meet continue operational need.

 

(c) Currency risk

The Group does not have a significant foreign currency risk exposure arising from its sales and purchases transactions as these transactions are mainly carried out in United States Dollars, Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. Since HK dollars is pegged to US dollars, there is no significant exposure expected on US dollars transactions and balances.
