The
assumption of unknown liabilities. Although the Company normally
conducts
extensive legal and accounting due diligence in connection with its
acquisitions, there are many liabilities that cannot be discovered,
and
which liabilities could be material. For example, the Company could
become
subject to penalties due to the prior non-compliant practices of
an
acquired business under law, rules and regulations that most companies
operating under agreements with the BFDC did not follow with the
tacit
approval of the local authorities.
|
·
|
The
Company may become subject to significant expenses related to bringing
the
financial, accounting and internal control procedures of the acquired
business into compliance with U.S. GAAP financial accounting standards
and
the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
|
·
|
The
Company’s operating results could be impaired as a result of restructuring
or impairment charges related to goodwill or amortization expenses
associated with intangible assets.
|
·
|
The
Company could experience significant difficulties in successfully
integrating any acquired operations, technologies, customers products
and
businesses with its operations.
|
·
|
Future
acquisitions could divert the Company’s capital and management’s attention
to other business concerns.
|
·
|
The
Company many not be able to hire the key employees necessary to manage
or
staff the acquired enterprise
operations.

ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
|
Highway
Holdings Limited 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"), Shenzhen and He Yuan
of the
People's Republic of China ("China"), and in
Germany.
|
The
Company operates in four principal business segments - metal stamping
and
mechanical original equipment manufacturing ("OEM"), electric OEM,
the
manufacture and trading of cameras and underwater products, and
clocks and
watches. The
Company's manufacturing activities are principally conducted in
Shenzhen,
He Yuan and Wuxi and its selling activities are principally conducted
in
Hong Kong and Wuxi.
|
The
financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.
GAAP").
|
On
March 28, 2003, the Company
acquired a 20% equity interest in Kienzle AG for $109. Kienzle
AG was
accounted as an affiliate using the equity method. The Group
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
been recognized during the year ended March 31, 2004. The Group
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.
|
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
in the year
ended March 31, 2006. There were no additional costs for exiting the
Kienzle clock business.
|
The
Company
acquired 100% equity interest in Golden Bright Plastic Manufacturing
Company Limited ("Golden Bright"), a company incorporated in Hong
Kong.
Golden
Bright is engaged in the manufacturing and trading of plastic injection
products. The acquisition of Golden Bright will strengthen the
Company's
current original equipment manufacturing and technical capabilities.
Details of the acquisition are more fully described in Note

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
-
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash accounts,
interest
bearing savings accounts and certificates of time deposit, which
are
unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and have maturity of three
months
or less at the time of purchase.
|
Investment
securities
-
Investment securities, which consist primarily of capital guaranteed
investment fund, have been categorized as available for sale and,
are
stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized
holding
gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss).
|
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.
|
Intangible
assets
-
Identifiable intangibles acquired in a business combination are
determined
separately from goodwill based on their fair values, as determined
with
assistance of an independent valuation expert. In particular, an
intangible that is acquired in a business combination is recognized
as an
asset separate from goodwill if it satisfies either the
"contractual-legal" or "separability" criterion. The
intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.
Amortization is computed using the straight line method over the
intangible assets' estimated useful
lives.
|

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -

Impairment
on disposal 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
reviews
impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets
to the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected 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 difference
between
the estimated fair value of the assets and the carrying
amount.
|
Due
to the poor financial performance 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. As of March 31, 2007, none of the long-lived assets
were
impaired.

|
· |
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.
|

|
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
continued
|
Stock-based
compensation -
The
Company
has
a stock-based employee compensation plan, as more fully described
in note
18. Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company
accounted
for stock-based compensation arrangements under Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and
provided additional financial statement disclosure in accordance
with SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The Company's
policy is to generally grant stock-based compensation to employees
with a
stock price equal to the market price of the stock on the date
of grant
and as a result no expense was recognized for grants prior to April
1, 2006. The Company
recognized
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation granted to
non-employees by estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation
utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model.
|
Effective
April 1, 2007, the Company has adopted the provision of Statement
of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS
123R"). This statement establishes accounting for equity instruments
exchanged for service. The stock-based compensation cost is measured
at
the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized
as
expense over the employee's requisite service
period.
|
Upon
adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied the modified-prospective
transition approach and accordingly financial statement amounts
for the
prior periods presented have not been restated to reflect the fair
value
method of expensing share-based
compensation.
|
As
a result of adopting SFAS 123R, there was no cumulative effect
on the net
income for the year ended March 31, 2007, as all awards granted
in prior
years had vested before April 1,
2006.

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 gain (loss)
on
investment securities and net income (loss), has been disclosed
within the
consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and comprehensive
income
(loss).

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -

|
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
-
In
February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments - which amends FASB Statements No. 133 and 140". This
statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or
issued
after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins
after
September 15, 2006. This
statement simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments
by permitting fair value measurement for a hybrid instrument that
contains
an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation.
The
Company
does
not expect that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a material impact
on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
|
In
June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterpirse's financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for
Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48
also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
FIN
48 is applicable from fiscal year beginning December 15, 2006.
The
Company
is
currently evaluating the interpretation to determine the effect
on its
consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for the measuring
fair
value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
changes
to current practice resulting from the application of this statement
relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure
fair
value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS
157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company
is
currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its financial
position, results of operations and cash
flows.
|
In
September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior
Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements" ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance
on how the
effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements
should be
considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC
Staff
believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance
sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either
approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant
quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material.
SAB 108
is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. On
adoption of SAB 108, the Company
did
not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash
flows.
|
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option
for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"), an amendment
of
FASB No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure
many
financial instrument and certain other items at fair value. The
objective
is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused
by
measuring related assets and liabilities without having to apply
complex
hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective from fiscal
year
commencing November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating
the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position,
cash flows, and results of
operations.

INCOME
TAXES - continued
|
In
connection with its recent establishment of its new facility in
China in
2006, 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.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES - continued
|
(c)
|
The
BFDC Agreements (see note 4) 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 the establishment of its new facility in China
during
fiscal 2006, the Company
entered
into an agreement with the He Yuan Foreign Trade & Economy Cooperation
Bureau that is similar to the BFDC
Agreements.
|
(d)
|
As
discussed in note 3, the Company will be required to pay $1,028
contingent
payments for the acquisition of Golden Bright when certain criteria
as
specified in the sale and purchase agreement are fulfilled.

As
of March 31, 2005, the Company had 242,150 outstanding employee
stock
options and stock purchase rights, and 29,154 common shares had
been
granted to the director (note 19) that could have potentially
diluted
basic net loss per share in the future, but which were excluded
in the
computation of diluted net income (loss) per share in the year
presented,
as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.

|
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 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,
accounts
receivable, investment securities, accounts payable, short-term
borrowings
and obligations under capital leases are reasonable estimates
of their
fair value. The interest rates on the Company's
obligations
under capital leases approximate those which would have been
available at
March 31, 2007 for capital lease of similar nature and repayment
period.
|
18.
|
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 was approved by the shareholders during
Annual
General Meeting in August 2004.
|
On
December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved and granted
50,000
stock options to legal advisors in accordance with the settlement
agreement and mutual release. The options were immediately vested.
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 2006
and 2007
and legal advisors in 2005 was $1.155, $1.0017 and $3.531, respectively,
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following
