Notes:-

1. Accounting policies

The interim results set out in the announcement do not constitute the Group's interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2019 but are extracted from that report.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provision of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, including compliance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 Interim financial reporting , issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").

The interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 are unaudited, but have been reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee.

The unaudited interim financial report contains consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs").

The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2018 that is included in this preliminary announcement of the interim results as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements.

The interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2019 has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted by the Group as disclosed in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the amendments to HKFRSs that are expected to be effective for the financial year ending 31 December 2019. Details of these changes in accounting policies are set out below.

The HKICPA has issued a number of amendments to HKFRSs and Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS") that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group's financial statements:

  • Amendments to HKFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
  • HKFRS 16 Leases
  • Amendments to Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
  • Amendments to HKAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
  • HK(IFRIC)-Int23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
  • Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle Amendments to HKFRS 3, HKFRS 11, HKAS 12 and HKAS 23

The adoption of these amendments to HKFRSs has had no significant financial effect on the financial position or performance of the Group except HKFRS 16. The nature and impact of HKFRS 16 are described below:

HKFRS 16, Leases

HKFRS 16 replaces HKAS 17 Leases , HK(IFRIC) 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, HK(SIC) 15 Operating Leases - Incentives and HK(SIC) 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease . The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model. Lessor accounting under HKFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from HKAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in HKAS 17. Therefore, HKFRS 16 did not have any financial impact on leases where the Group is the lessor.

The Group adopted HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of revenue reserves at 1 January 2019, and the comparative information for 2018 was not restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17.

6

New definition of a lease

Under HKFRS 16, a contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient allowing the standard to be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC) 4 at the date of initial application. Contracts that were not identified as leases under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC) 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their stand-alone prices. A practical expedient is available to a lessee, which the Group has adopted, not to separate non-lease components and to account for the lease and the associated non-lease components (e.g., property management services for leases of properties) as a single lease component.

As a lessee - Leases previously classified as operating leases

Nature of the effect of adoption of HKFRS 16

The Group has lease contracts for various items of office premises and storage. As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as either finance leases or operating leases based on the assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group. Under HKFRS 16, the Group applies a single approach to recognise and measure right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases, except for two elective exemptions for leases of low value assets (elected on a lease by lease basis) and short-term leases (elected by class of underlying asset). The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for (i) leases of low-value assets; and (ii) leases, that at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, the Group recognises the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impacts on transition

Lease liabilities at 1 January 2019 were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019 and included in interest-bearing bank loans. The right-of-use assets were measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid lease payments relating to the lease recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before 1 January 2019. All these assets were assessed for any impairment based on HKAS 36 on that date. The Group elected to present the right-of-use assets separately in the statement of financial position.

The impacts arising from the adoption of HKFRS 16 as at 1 January 2019 are as follows:

Summary of new accounting policies

The accounting policy for leases as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December

2018 is replaced with the following new accounting policies upon adoption of HKFRS 16 from 1 January 2019:

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement date of the lease at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Amounts recognised in the interim consolidated statement of financial position and profit or loss

The provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16.5% (2018: 16.5%) of the estimated assessable profits for the six months ended 30 June 2019, taking into account a reduction granted by the Hong Kong SAR Government of 75% (2018: 75%) of the tax payable for the year of assessment 2018/19 (2018: 2017/18) subject to a maximum reduction of HK$20,000 (2018: HK$30,000) for each business. Taxation for overseas subsidiaries has been provided on estimated assessable profits at the rates of taxation ruling in the relevant countries.

The Company is exempted from taxation in the Cayman Islands for a period of twenty years from 1989 under the provisions of Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands. The tax concession was renewed for a further period of twenty years from 2 June 2009.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses and other temporary differences of approximately HK$145.0 million (31 December 2018: HK$145.0 million) as it is not probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which the Group can utilise the benefits. The tax losses do not expire under the current tax legislations.

7. Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations relate to hospitality segment

On 2 April 2019, SWAN Carolina Investor, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Whiteboard Investments LLC, the joint operation partner of the joint operation, Sheraton Chapel Hill Hotel (collectively, the "Sellers") entered into the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Hotel PSA") with Atma Hotel Group Inc (the "Purchaser Atma"), pursuant to which the Sellers have agreed to sell and the Purchaser Atma has agreed to purchase certain assets of the joint operation (the "Disposal of Assets"). The total consideration receivable by the Group under the Hotel PSA is approximately USD4,625,000. The Disposal of Assets had been completed on 2 August 2019.

On 26 June 2019, SWAN USA Inc, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, (the "Seller"), entered into a Purchase and Sales Agreement (the "PSA") with the Whiteboard Labs, LLC, (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Seller has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase 51% of the equity interest in Sceptre Hospitality Resource, LLC ("SHR"), an indirect subsidary of the Company with consideration of approximately USD3,277,354 (the "Disposal of SHR"). The Disposal of SHR was completed on 6 July 2019.

The Group's term loan is secured by:

  • a first priority mortgage of Sheraton Chapel Hill Hotel, its improvements, equipment and fixtures with a carrying amount of HK$35.1 million as at 30 June 2019 (31 December 2018: HK$35.6 million);
  • assignments of all rights and benefits to sale, lease, agreements, trademarks and insurance proceeds in respect of Sheraton Chapel Hill Hotel;
  • pledge of monies held in specific bank accounts of HK$4.6 million as at 30 June 2019 (31 December 2018: HK$3.1 million); and
  • guarantee by RHI, an indirect subsidiary of the Group.

Covenant

The Group's banking facilities are subjected to the fulfilment of covenants relating to the Group's certain financial ratios, as are commonly found in lending arrangements with financial institutions. If the Group were to breach the covenants, the drawn down facilities would become payable on demand. The Group regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. As at 30 June 2019, there was no breach of covenants that are significant to the Group's operations that will result in the lenders demanding for the immediate repayment of the term loan (31 December 2018: no breach of covenants).

Non-recourse carveout guarantees

As of 30 June 2019, RHI and SWAN USA, Inc (the "Guarantors"), both being indirect subsidiaries of the Group, are guarantors for certain indebtedness relating to the Group's joint operation and associate, as set out below:

RHI is a guarantor of indebtedness of the term loan entered into by SWAN Carolina Investor, LLC and SFI Carolina TIC SPE, LLC for Sheraton Chapel Hill Hotel. The term guarantee will expire on 6 May 2023.

The above indebtedness are non-recourse in nature and the Group's liabilities are limited to the collaterals on which the individual loans are secured. The guarantees entered into by the Guarantors provide the lender with recourse for any losses and expenses arising from specific acts such as fraud, misappropriation of rents and intentional damages (the "Covenants"). The obligations of the Guarantors are to the extent which the collaterals are insufficient to meet the lender's losses and expenses. These guarantees do not impose liability on the Guarantors for any other event such as the non-payment of loan by the borrower. The maximum potential liability of the Group under the guarantees is HK$28.5 million as at 30 June 2019 (31 December 2018: HK$29.0 million).

The management is of the view that the possibility of violating the Covenants and triggering any cash outflow within the scope of the above guarantees is remote. In addition, the above indebtedness are non-recourse in nature and the carrying amount of the individual collateral is in excess of its respective outstanding loan amount.

The Group recorded a net loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$13.3 million for the Period as compared with a net loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$10.5 million in the previous corresponding period. The higher loss was mainly due to a significant reduction of net realised and unrealised valuation gain on trading securities for the Period, which is partially offset by the increase in revenue in hospitality and money lending and related business segment.

Hospitality segment - discontinued operations

Regarding the Group's Hospitality segment, the Group's U.S. hotel management arm, Richfield Hospitality, Inc. has ceased the hotel management service in order to reduce loss in the hospitality segment and therefore no management fee income was recorded for the Period.

The loss before tax is approximately HK$1.4 million for the Period as compared with a loss before tax of approximately HK$1.6 million in the previous corresponding period.

However, SHR Group incurred higher administrative expenses during the Period to support the revenue growth, resulting in an operating loss of approximately HK$2.3 million for the Period as compared with an operating loss of approximately HK$15.4 million in the previous corresponding period.

On 26 June 2019, SWAN USA Inc, an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the "Seller"), entered into a Purchase and Sales Agreement (the "PSA") with the Whiteboard Labs, LLC (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Seller has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase 51% of the equity interest in SHR with consideration of approximately USD3,277,354 (the "Disposal of SHR").

Investment holding segment - continuing operations

The Group's investment holding segment recorded a net loss on fair value of other financial assets/liabilities and deferred consideration of approximately HK$2.8 million, which is partially offset by the net realised and unrealised valuation gain on trading securities of approximately HK$2.0 million. Overall, the total net realised and unrealised loss of approximately HK$0.8 million was recorded for the Period as compared with the total net realised and unrealised gain of approximately HK$17.9 million in the previous corresponding period. Consequently, the Group's investment holding segment reported a loss before tax of approximately HK$24.6 million for the Period as compared with a loss before tax of approximately HK$11.9 million in the previous corresponding period.

Healthcare segment - continuing operations

On 31 August 2017, the Group effectively obtained approximately 51% of the enlarged issued share capital of PRIP Communications Limited ("PRIP") and obtained control of PRIP and its wholly-owned subsidiary DIAM Holdings Co., Ltd.
