General
The Land Registry Trading Fund ("LRTF") was established on 1 August 1993 under the Legislative Council
Resolution passed on 30 June 1993 pursuant to sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Trading Funds Ordinance (Cap.
430). The Land Registry administers a land registration system by maintaining an up-to-date Land Register and
provides its customers with services and facilities for searches of the Land Register and related land records. The
Land Registry also processes applications for the incorporation of owners.

Significant accounting policies
2.1 |
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in Hong Kong and all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), a collective term
which includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting
Standards ("HKASs") and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("HKICPA"). A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the LRTF is set out below.
|
2.2 |
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is historical cost.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the management of LRTF to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. 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.
There are no critical accounting judgements involved in the application of the LRTF's accounting policies.
There are also no key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at
the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the next year.
|
2.3 |
Financial assets and financial liabilities
2.3.1 |
Initial recognition
The LRTF classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities into different categories at inception,
depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired or the liabilities were incurred. The
categories are: loans and receivables, held-to-maturity securities and other financial liabilities.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, which normally equals to
the transaction prices, plus transaction costs for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity securities and
other financial liabilities that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset or issue of
the financial liability.
The LRTF recognises financial assets and financial liabilities on the date it becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are
accounted for at settlement date.
|
2.3.2 |
Categorisation
2.3.2.1 |
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market and which the LRTF has no intention of trading. This
category includes debtors, amounts due from related parties, bank deposits, and cash and
bank balances.
Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less
impairment losses, if any (note 2.3.4).
|
2.3.2.2 |
Held-to-maturity securities
Held-to-maturity securities are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
and fixed maturity which the LRTF has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity,
other than those that meet the definition of loans and receivables.
Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less
impairment losses, if any (note 2.3.4).
|
2.3.2.3 |
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
|
|
2.3.3 |
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the
financial asset expire, or where the financial asset together with substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership have been transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expires.
|
2.3.4 |
Impairment of financial assets
The carrying amount of loans and receivables and held-to-maturity securities are reviewed at the end
of each reporting period to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any
impairment evidence exists, a loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the
difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If in a subsequent period, the amount of such
impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of
comprehensive income.
|
|
2.4 |
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment appropriated to the LRTF on 1 August 1993 were measured initially at
deemed cost equal to the value contained in the Legislative Council Resolution for the setting up of the
LRTF. Property, plant and equipment acquired since 1 August 1993 are capitalised at their costs of
acquisition.
The following property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment losses (note 2.6):
- |
buildings held for own use appropriated to the LRTF on 1 August 1993; and
|
- |
plant and equipment, including computer equipment, furniture and fittings and other equipment.
|
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated
residual value, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:- |
Buildings
|
30
years |
- |
Plant and equipment
|
5
years |
The land on which the LRTF's buildings are situated as appropriated to the LRTF on 1 August 1993 is
regarded as a non-depreciating asset.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income at the date of disposal. |
2.5 |
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include acquired computer software licences and capitalised development costs of
computer software programmes. Expenditure on development of computer software programmes is
capitalised if the programmes are technically feasible and the LRTF has sufficient resources and the intention
to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes direct labour and cost of materials. Intangible
assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses (note 2.6).
Amortisation of intangible assets is charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line
basis over the assets' estimated useful lives of 5 years.
|
2.6 |
Impairment of fixed assets
The carrying amounts of fixed assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify any indication of impairment. If there is an indication
of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income whenever the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the
greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
|
2.7 |
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at
acquisition.
|
2.8 |
Employee benefits
Salaries and annual leave are accrued and recognised as expenditure in the year in which the associated
services are rendered by the staff. Staff oncosts including pensions, housing and non-monetary benefits
provided to the staff by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("the Hong Kong
SAR Government") are charged to the LRTF and charged as expenditure in the year in which the
associated services are rendered.
|
2.9 |
Income tax
(i) |
The Government requires the LRTF to pay a notional profits tax calculated on the basis of the
provisions of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112). Tax expense for the year comprises current
tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
|
(ii) |
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in
respect of previous years.
|
(iii) |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively,
being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax
credits.
All deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilised, are recognised.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or
settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it
becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
|
|
2.10 |
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised as services are provided. Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the
effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a
financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount
of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the LRTF estimates
cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments but does not consider future credit
losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
|
2.11 |
Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates
ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period.
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
|
2.12 |
Related parties
The LRTF is a separate accounting entity within the Government established under the Trading Funds
Ordinance. During the year, the LRTF has entered into transactions with various related parties, including
government bureaux and departments, trading funds and financially autonomous bodies controlled or
significantly influenced by the Hong Kong SAR Government, in the ordinary course of its business.
|
2.13 |
Impact of new and revised HKFRSs
The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs which are effective for the current
accounting period. There have been no changes to the accounting policies applied in these financial
statements for the years presented as a result of these developments. However, as a result of adopting
HKAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of Financial Statements, there are changes to the presentation of these
financial statements.
HKAS 1 (Revised) introduces the statement of comprehensive income and presents all items of recognised
income and expense, either in one single statement, or in two linked statements. The LRTF has elected to
present one statement. The standard also introduces title changes from "Balance Sheet" to "Statement of
Financial Position" and from "Cash Flow Statement" to "Statement of Cash Flows".
The LRTF has not applied any new standard that is not yet effective for the current accounting period
(note 22).

Rate of return on fixed assets
The rate of return on fixed assets is calculated as total comprehensive income (excluding interest income and
interest expenses) divided by average net fixed assets, and expressed as a percentage. Fixed assets include
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The LRTF is expected to meet a target rate of return on
fixed assets of 8.3% per year as determined by the Financial Secretary.

Related party transactionsApart from those separately disclosed in the financial statements, the other material related party transactions for
the year are summarised as follows:(i) |
Services provided to related parties included registration of land documents, search of land registers and
records, supply of copies of land records and reports on title. The total revenue derived from these services
amounted to $88 million (2009: $85 million). This amount is included in turnover under note 3.
|
(ii) |
Services received from related parties included computer services, accommodation, central administration
and auditing. The total cost incurred on these services amounted to $25 million (2009: $21 million). This
amount is included in operating costs under note 4.
|
(iii) |
Acquisition of fixed assets from related parties included fitting out projects. The total cost of these assets
amounted to $3 million (2009: $2 million).
|
Charging for services rendered to or received from related parties was on the same basis, that is, at the rates
payable by the general public for services which were also available to the public or on a full cost recovery
basis for services which were available only to related parties. |

Financial risk management
(i) |
Investment policy
The LRTF maintains a conservative approach on investments in financial assets including debt securities and
bank deposits. Investment decisions are made according to the guidelines from the Secretary for Financial
Services and the Treasury, Hong Kong Monetary Authority and other relevant regulations. Invested debt
securities are issued by the Hong Kong SAR Government or quasi-government bodies in Hong Kong with
sound credit ratings and are in general held to maturity.
|
(ii) |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the other party to incur a financial loss.
The LRTF does not have significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
end of the reporting period without taking account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements is
shown below:

|
To minimise credit risks, all fixed deposits are placed with licenced banks in Hong Kong.
The LRTF's credit risk is primarily attributable to debtors and investments in debt securities. The LRTF has a
credit policy in place and the exposure to these credit risks is monitored on an ongoing basis.
In respect of debtors, deposits are required from our online services subscribers.
For investments in debt securities, only those classified under the investment grade by Moody's or Standard & Poor's are considered. At the end of the reporting period, the credit quality of investments in debt
securities, analysed by the lower of ratings designated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, is as follows:

Held-to-maturity securities by credit rating |
|
|
Aa1 to Aa3/AA+ to AA- |
100,533
|
100,082 |
|
(iii) |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
Under the Trading Funds Ordinance, the LRTF is responsible for its own cash management, including short-term
and long-term investment of cash surpluses, subject to approval by the Secretary for Financial Services
and the Treasury. The LRTF's policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to
ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer
term. As the LRTF has a strong liquidity position, it has a very low level of liquidity risk.
|
(iv) |
Interest rate riskInterest rate risk refers to the risk of loss arising from changes in market interest rates. This can be further
classified into fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Since the LRTF's held-to-maturity securities and bank deposits bear interest
at fixed rates, their fair values will fall when market interest rates increase. However, as all the held-to-maturity
securities and bank deposits are stated at amortised cost, changes in market interest rates will not
affect their carrying amounts and the LRTF's profit and reserves.
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. The LRTF is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk because
it has no major financial instruments bearing interest at a floating rate.
The table below sets out the LRTF's exposure to interest rate risk, based on the major interest bearing assets
stated at carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period and categorised by maturity dates. |

Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The LRTF's normal business transactions are denominated in Hong Kong dollars and therefore do not give
rise to currency risk.
In respect of investments denominated in United States dollars, owing to the linked exchange rate of the
Hong Kong dollar to the United States dollar, the LRTF has a very low level of currency risk.
At the end of the reporting period, financial assets totalling $101 million (2009: $101 million) were
denominated in United States dollars. The remaining financial assets and all financial liabilities were
denominated in Hong Kong dollars.

Fair valuesThe fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end
of the reporting period. In the absence of such quoted market prices, fair values are estimated using
present value or other valuation techniques, using inputs based on market conditions existing at the end of
the reporting period.
The fair values of held-to-maturity securities at the end of the reporting period were as follows: |
|
|
|
2010 |

2009 |
Held-to-maturity securities |
100,533

All other financial instruments are stated in the statement of financial position at amounts equal to or not
materially different from their fair values. |

Possible impact of amendments, new standards and
interpretations issued but not yet effective for the
year ended 31 March 2010Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments, new
standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 March 2010 and which have not
been early adopted in these financial statements.
The LRTF is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards
and interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial adoption. So far it has concluded that the adoption
of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the LRTF's results of operations and financial position.
The following developments may result in new or amended disclosures in future financial statements: |
