SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (POLICIES)
12 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(a) Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. The results of subsidiaries acquired have been consolidated from the date of acquisition.

 

Equity Method Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(b) Investments under equity method - The investments for which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Group's share of undistributed earnings or losses of these entities, the amortization of intangible assets recognized upon purchase price allocation and dividend distributions or subsequent investments. All unrecognized inter-company profits and losses have been eliminated under the equity method.

 

When the estimated amount to be realized from the investments falls below its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the decline in value is considered other than temporary.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(c) Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits, highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased, and are readily convertible to known amount of cash.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(d) Restricted cash - Restricted cash represents the amount of cash pledged as securities for the credit facilities provided by a financial institution.

 

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(e) Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from customers, that are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at invoiced amount. The Group reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis and records allowances when there is a doubt as to the collectability of the balance. In evaluating the collectability of the accounts receivable balances, the Group considers various factors, including the age of the balance, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Accounts receivable balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(f) Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the first in first out method, or market value. Work-in-progress and finished goods consist of raw materials, direct labour and overheads associated with the manufacturing process. Write down of potential obsolete or slow moving inventories is recorded based on management's assumptions about future demands and market conditions.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(g) Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 years for machinery and equipment and 2 to 5 years for other property, plant and equipment. Assets held under capital leases are depreciated over the shorter of their lease period or estimated useful lives on the same basis as owned assets unless the ownership of these assets transfers to the Group by the end of the lease term over the estimated useful lives.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(h) Impairment or disposal of long-lives assets - The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow were to be less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets.

 

No impairment expenses are recognized for long-lived assets during the years ended March 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(i) Concentration of credit risk - Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions with high credit ratings and quality.

 

The risks with respect to accounts receivables and loan receivable are mitigated by credit evaluations performed on the customers or debtors and ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances. The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Accounts receivable and loan receivable are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The accounts receivable from customers with individual balances over 10% of the accounts receivable represent 62%, 81% and 62% of the balances of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The loan receivable from a debtor represents 100% of the balance of loan receivable as of March 31, 2013.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(j) Revenue recognition - The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of products, when all of the following conditions are met:

 

·Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·Delivery has occurred;
·Price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and
·Collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to customers upon shipment and when collectability is reasonably assured. The Group does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality) or price protection. There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with the Group's products. All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.
Staff Retirement Plan Costs [Policy Text Block]
(k) Staff retirement plan costs - The Group's costs related to the staff retirement plans (see note 16) are charged to the consolidated statement of operations as incurred.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]
(l) Foreign currency translations and transactions - The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars ("U.S. dollars"). All transactions in currencies other than functional currencies of the Company during the year are remeasured at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities existing at the balance sheet date denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates on that date. Exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The books and records of the Company's major subsidiaries are maintained in their respective local currencies, the Hong Kong dollars or Renminbi, which are also their respective functional currencies. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and all income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange over the year. All exchange differences arising from the translation of subsidiaries' financial statements are recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss).
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(m) Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates that will be in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance against the amount of deferred tax assets that it determines is not more likely than not of being realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Group recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Group records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties, if any, within income tax benefits (expenses).
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(n)Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting estimate, which has had an impact on the consolidated financial statements, includes allowances for doubtful receivables.

 

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]
(o) Stock-based compensation - The Group has a stock-based employee compensation plan, as be more fully described in note 18. The Group measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period), in exchange for the award. The grant-date fair value of employee stock options and similar instruments are estimated using Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Shares issued to consultants in exchange for consulting services are measured at the fair values of the services received, which are measured by reference to the fair value of the shares granted because fair value of consulting service received cannot be reliably measured. The fair values of the services received are recognized as expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity (additional paid-in capital), when the counterparties render services, unless the services qualify for recognition as assets.
Revenue Recognition Leases, Operating [Policy Text Block]
(p) Operating leases - Leases in which substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(q) Net income per share - Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income attributable to the Company per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

 

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]
(r) Comprehensive income (loss) - Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented net of tax, the amount of which is nil for the three years ended March 31, 2013. The consolidated financial statements have been adjusted for the retrospective application of the authoritative guidance regarding presentation of comprehensive income. Beginning April 1, 2012, the Group presented the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements.
Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments [Policy Text Block]
(s) Fair value measurement and financial instruments - The Group applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under this hierarchy, there are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

·Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical asset or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
·Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment.

 

The Group did not have any financial instruments that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and 2013. As of March 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did the Group have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, amount due from an equity method investee, short-term borrowings, long-term loans, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of obligations under capital leases also approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest calculations.
Noncontrolling Interest [Policy Text Block]
(t) Non-controlling interest - Non-controlling interest have been reported as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes of equity and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

              (u) Recent issued accounting standards adopted - In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued an authoritative pronouncement on fair value measurement. The guidance is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to develop a single, converged fair value framework. The guidance is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP. The guidance expands the existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments, mainly including:

 

·Highest-and-best-use and valuation-premise concepts for nonfinancial assets-the guidance indicates that the highest-and-best-use and valuation premise concepts only apply to measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets.
·Application to financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk-the guidance permits an exception to fair value measurement principles for financial assets and financial liabilities (and derivatives) with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk when several criteria are met. When the criteria are met, an entity can measure the fair value of the net risk position.
·Premiums or discounts in fair value measure-the guidance provides that premiums or discounts that reflect size as a characteristic of the reporting entity's holding (specifically, a blockage factor that adjusts the quoted price of an asset or a liability because the market's normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held by the entity) rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability (for example, a control premium when measuring the fair value of a controlling interest) are not permitted in a fair value measurement.
·Fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity-the guidance prescribes a model for measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in stockholders' equity; this model is consistent with the guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities.
·Disclosures about fair value measurements-the guidance expands disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 inputs. Required disclosures include:

 

(i)For fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

 

(1)a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement,
(2)a description of the valuation process in place (e.g. how the entity decides its valuation policies and procedures, as well as changes in its analyses of fair value measurements, from period to period), and
(3)a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs.

 

(ii)The level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but whose fair value must be disclosed.

 

The guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, for public entities. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 

               In June 2011, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The guidance should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement related to deferral of the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance allows the FASB to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the FASB is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before update the pronouncement issued in June 2011. The Group adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2012 and presented the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted [Policy Text Block]

(v) Recent issued accounting standards not yet adopted - In December 2011, the FASB has issued an authoritative pronouncement related to Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. In January 2013, the FASB further clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of the authoritative pronouncement and the pronouncement applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Group does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

  

In February 2013, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement related to reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income.

 

The guidance expands the exiting disclosure requirement for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements, including:

 

· Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.

 

· Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e. g. , inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.

 

The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The Group does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

In March 2013, the FASB has issued an authoritative pronouncement related to parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. When a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a non-profit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The Group does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. However, this treatment does not apply to an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity. In those instances, the cumulative translation adjustment is released into net income only if the partial sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity that contains the equity method investment.

 

Additionally, the amendments in this pronouncement clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both: (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity (i.e., irrespective of any retained investment); and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (sometimes also referred to as a step acquisition). Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events.

 

The amendments in this pronouncement are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The Group does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
