INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

UNIQUE LOGISTICS INTERNATIONAL (SOUTH CHINA) LIMITED

(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

 

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 3 to 11 which comprises the condensed statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 October 2022 and the related condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the ten-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof, International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“HKAS 34”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) respectively. The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS/HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion 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.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquires, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE TEN MONTHS ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022

(Expressed in United States dollars)

 

 

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) respectively.

 

These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2021 annual financial statements. The accounting policies (including the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty) and methods of computation used in the preparation of these condensed financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

 

As Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”) is pegged to United States dollar (“USD”), the management of the Company used the exchange rate of USD1: HKD7.8 for the translation of presentation currency from HKD to USD.

 

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL / HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

 

The accounting policies applied in these condensed financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021. In the current period, the Company has adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by IASB and the HKICPA respectively that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2022 but they do not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2022 and earlier application is permitted. The Company has not early adopted any of the forthcoming new or amended standards in preparing these condensed interim financial statements.

 

3. REVENUE

 

The principal activities of the Company are the provision of air and ocean freight forwarding services in the People’s Republic of China.

 

Revenue represents gross invoiced freight income and recognised at a point in time for the period.
