ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
Highway
Holdings Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the British
Virgin
Islands on July 20, 1990. It operates through its subsidiaries
operating
in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong") of
the
People's Republic of China ("China"), in Shenzhen and He Yuan,
China, in
Germany and in the Republic of Bulgaria
("Bulgaria").
|
The
Company and its subsidiaries operate in four principal business
segments -
metal stamping and mechanical original equipment manufacturing
("OEM"),
the manufacture and trading of cameras and underwater products,
clocks and
watches, and electric OEM. Historically,
the Company has been in the business of manufacturing and trading
of
single-use cameras and certain clocks and watches under the name
"Kienzle." However, this year the Company has been reorganized
and made
certain changes which streamlined its business activities and ceased
the
manufacturing and trading of single-use cameras as well as the
manufacturing of clocks and watches under the name "Kienzle." The
Company's manufacturing activities are principally conducted in
Shenzhen
and He Yuan and its selling activities are principally conducted
in Hong
Kong, Shenzhen and Germany.
|
The
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in
the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
|
On
January 30, 2003, the Company entered into a license agreement
with
Kienzle AG, a German stock corporation which is engaged in the
marketing,
sale and distribution of products under the brand name of "Kienzle".
Under
the license agreement, the Company granted to Kienzle AG a five-year
exclusive, royalty-free license to use and display the trademark
of
"Kienzle" solely in conjunction with the promotion, marketing,
sale, and
distribution by Kienzle AG of products under the brand name of
"Kienzle"
in specified countries. Under the license agreement, Kienzle AG
was
required to purchase all products under the brand name of "Kienzle"
from
the Company with minimum purchases at each of the four years ended
on
December 31, 2006. Under the license agreement, Kienzle AG was
required to
purchase $3,000 of products from the Company during the year ended
December 31, 2003; and in subsequent years, the amount of required
purchases is required to increase to no less than $6,000 in the
year
ending December 31, 2004, $14,000 in the year ending December 31,
2005,
and $28,000 in the year ending December 31, 2006. The Company would
have
the right to terminate the license agreement if Kienzle AG fails
to meet
these minimum requirements.
|
On
March 28, 2003, the Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Kienzle
AG
for $109. Kienzle AG was accounted for in the consolidated financial
statements as an affiliate using the equity method. The Company
reassessed
its investment in Kienzle AG in 2004 and determined that the investment
had been impaired as Kienzle AG did not meet the minimum purchase
requirement and had dissatisfactory operating results. An impairment
loss
of $109 in respect of the investment in Kienzle AG has thus been
recognized during the year ended March 31, 2004. The Company sold
all
"Kienzle" trademarks relating to clock and non-clock business for
$2,160
and recognized gain on sale of $1,781 during the year ended March
31,
2006.
|
Additionally,
the Company received $121 for the sale of its 20% equity interest
and
recognized a gain of $121 on disposal of investment in Kienzle
AG during
the year ended March 31, 2006.
|

|
ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
continued
|
Upon
the sale of the "Kienzle" trademark, the Company did not renew
the lease
on its marketing office in Germany and incurred costs related to
involuntary termination of most of the employees in its marketing
office
in Germany. These costs were accrued and paid out in the year ended
March
31, 2006. There are no additional costs for exiting the Kienzle
clock
business.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
· |
Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
· |
Delivery
has occurred;
|
· |
Price
to the customer is fixed or determinable;
and
|
· |
Collectibility
is reasonably assured.
|
Revenue
from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to
customers
upon shipment and when collectibility is assured. The Company 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 Company's products. All sales are based on firm customer
orders
with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be
modified.
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
-
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash accounts,
interest
bearing savings accounts, and certificates of time deposit with
a maturity
of three months or less at the time of
purchase.
|
Property,
plant and equipment
-
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation
and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method based
on the
estimated useful lives of 10 years for machinery and equipment
and
generally 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.
|
Industrial
property rights -
Industrial property rights represent the patents, technology and
the
rights relating to the name "Kienzle" and are stated at cost. Amortization
is provided on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years
which is
the estimated useful lives of these assets. Amortization expense
charged
to operating income for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and
2006 was
$127, $125 and $122 respectively.
|
During
the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company sold all industrial
property
rights to Kienzle AG.
|

|
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
continued
|
Investment
securities
-
Investment securities, which consist primarily of capital guaranteed
investment fund, have been categorized as available for sale and,
as a
result, are stated at fair value based generally on quoted market
prices.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are included as a component
of
accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss).
|
Impairment
of long-lived assets
-
The Company 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 Company
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 is less than the carrying amount
of
the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based
on the
fair value of the assets.
|
Due
to the poor financial performance of the manufacturing of cameras,
clocks
and watches, the Company reassessed its property, plant and equipment
and
industrial property rights for impairment and an impairment loss
of $347
and $67 respectively, had been recognized during the year ended
March 31,
2005; and $197 and $60 respectively, had been recognized during
the year
ended March 31, 2006.
|
No
impairment on long-lived assets was noted during the year ended
March 31,
2004.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
continued
|
Comprehensive
income (loss)
-
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in
equity
except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions
to
owners. Comprehensive income (loss) for the years, which comprises
foreign
currency translation adjustments, unrealized holding (loss) gain
on
investment securities and net income (loss), has been disclosed
within the
consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and comprehensive
income
(loss).
|
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
-
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued
SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) ("SFAS No. 123R"). This statement is
a
revision to SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. This
statement
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which
an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services,
primarily
focusing on the accounting for transactions in which an entity
obtains
employee services in share-based payment transactions. Entities
will be
required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange
for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the
award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over
the
period during which an employee is required to provide service
within the
requisite service period (usually the vesting period) in exchange
for the
award. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and
similar
instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models. If any
equity
award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation
cost will
be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value
of the
modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately
before the modification. This statement will be effective to the
Company
for the fiscal year beginning April 1,
2006.
|
2.
|
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
continued
|
Upon
adoption, the Company has two application methods to choose from:
the
modified-prospective transition approach or the modified-retrospective
transition approach. Under the modified-prospective transition
method, the
Company would be required to recognize compensation cost for share-based
awards to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the
beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions
are
first applied as well as compensation cost for awards that were
granted
prior to, but not vested as of the date of adoption. Prior periods
remain
unchanged and pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS
No. 123
continue to be required. Under the modified-restrospective transition
method, the Company would restate prior periods by recognizing
compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the pro
forma
footnote disclosure under SFAS No. 123. Under this method, the
Company is
permitted to apply this presentation to all periods presented or
to the
start of the fiscal year in which SFAS No. 123R is adopted. The
Company
would follow the same guidelines as in the modified-prospective
transition
method for awards granted subsequent to adoption and those that
were
granted and not yet vested. The Company has not yet determined
which
methodology it will adopt but believes that the impact that the
adoption
of SFAS No. 123R will have on its financial position or results
of
operations will approximate the magnitude of the stock-based employee
compensation cost disclosed in note 2 pursuant to the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 148.

INCOME
TAXES

Income
is subject to taxation in the various countries in which the Company
and
its subsidiaries operate.

In
connection with its recent establishment of its new facility in
China
during the year, the Company entered into an agreement with the
He Yuan
Foreign Trade & Economy Cooperation Bureau that is similar to the BFDC
Agreements.
|
Under
the BFDC Agreements, the Company is not considered by local tax
authorities to be doing business in China; accordingly, the Company's
activities in China have not been subject to local taxes. The BFDC
is
responsible for paying taxes it incurs as a result of its operations
under
the BFDC Agreements. There can be no assurances, however, that
the Company
will not be subject to such taxes in the future. If China did impose
a tax
upon the Company, the tax could materially adversely affect the
Company's
business and results of operations.

|
(c)
|
The
BFDC Agreements (see note 3) have all been extended to March 31,
2016
while one agreement with a China company was retired by mutual
consent of
both the Company and the China company. Pursuant to the BFDC Agreements,
the Company is not subject to certain rules and regulations that
would be
imposed on entities which are considered under China law to be
doing
business in China by utilizing other business structures such as
joint
ventures or wholly owned subsidiaries organized in China. Should
there be
any adverse change in the Company's dealings with the BFDC, or
should the
local or federal government change the rules under which the Company
currently operates, all of the Company's operations and assets
could be
jeopardized.
|
In
addition, transactions between the Company and the BFDC are on
terms
different in certain respects from those contained in the BFDC
Agreements.
There can be no assurance that the BFDC will not insist upon a
change in
the current practices so as to require adherence to the terms of
the BFDC
Agreements, which the Company considers less favorable to it than
the
practices currently in effect, or that the Company or BFDC may
not be
required to do so by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic
Co-operation of China and other relevant authorities. There can
also be no
assurances that the Company will be able to negotiate extensions
and
further supplements to any of the BFDC Agreements or that the Company
will
be able to continue its operations in China. If the Company were
required
to adhere to the terms of the BFDC Agreements, the Company's business
and
results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected.
|
In
connection with its recent establishment of its new facility in
China
during the year, the Company entered into an agreement with the
He Yuan
Foreign Trade & Economy Cooperation Bureau that is similar to the BFDC
Agreements.

FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
The
estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company,
using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
The
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts
that
the Company could realize in a current market
exchange.
|
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash,
investment
securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
short-term borrowings and long-term debt are reasonable estimates
of their
fair value. The interest rates on the Company's long-term debt
approximate
those which would have been available at March 31, 2006 for debt
of
similar remaining maturities and credit
rating.
|
15. |
STOCK
OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS
|
The
Company has adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan").
The
Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase Common
Shares to
employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company.
The Option
Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee appointed by
the Board
of Directors, which determines the terms of the options granted,
including
the exercise price (provided, however, that the option price shall
not be
less than fair market value or less than the par value per share
on the
date the options granted), the number of Common Shares subject
to the
option and the option's exercisability. The maximum exercisable
period of
options granted under the Option Plan is five years. In addition
to the
options that can be granted under the Option Plan, the Company
also
granted stock purchase rights to purchase 262,076 Common Shares
to certain
of the directors and key employees prior to its December 1996 initial
public offering and granted stock purchase rights to purchase 100,000
Common Shares to a director during the year ended March 31,
2004.
|
In
May 2004, the Board of Directors proposed to increase the number
of stock
options under the Option Plan from 400,000 to 600,000 to provide
incentives to those persons performing services to the Company.
The
increase of stock options were approved by the shareholders during
AGM in
August 2004.
|
On
December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved and granted
stock
options of 50,000 to legal advisors in accordance with the settlement
agreement and mutual release. The options were immediately vested
with the
expiration of twelve months. The Company recorded an expense of
$177 for
the options based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model during
the
year ended March 31, 2005.
|
The
fair value of options granted to employees and directors in 2004
and 2006
and legal advisors in 2005 was $1.213, $1.155 and $3.531, respectively,
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following
