NOTES:

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2019 set out in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"). The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial information, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of the fact that its current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at 30 June 2019. Taking into account the Group's internal resources and undertaking from the immediate holding company and a fellow subsidiary not to demand repayment of the amounts due by the Group to them until such time when the Group is in a position to repay without impairing its liquidity and financial position, the directors of the Company considered that the Group will be able to operate on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

The financial information relating to the year ended 31 December 2018 that is included in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that year but is derived from those consolidated financial statements. Further information relating to those statutory consolidated financial statements required to be disclosed in accordance with section 436 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance is as follows:

The Company has delivered the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 to the Registrar of Companies as required by section 662(3) of, and Part 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Company's auditor has reported on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018. The auditor's report was unqualified; and did not contain a statement under sections 406(2), 407(2) or 407(3) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information has not been audited, but has been reviewed by the Company's audit committee.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the adoption of the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") effective as of 1 January 2019.

Amendments to HKFRS 9

HKFRS 16

Amendments to HKAS 19

Amendments to HKAS 28

HK(IFRIC)-Int 23

Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle

Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Leases

Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Amendments to HKFRS 3, HKFRS 11, HKAS 12

and HKAS 23

Other than as explained below regarding the impact of HKFRS 16 Leases , the new and revised standards have had no significant financial effect on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information. The nature and impact of the changes are described below:

HKFRS 16 replaces HKAS 17 Leases , HK(IFRIC)-Int4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains

1. Lease , HK(SIC)-Int15 Operating Leases - Incentives and HK(SIC)-Int27 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-balancesheet 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 retained profits at 1 January 2019, and the comparative information for 2018 was not restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17.

7

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)-Int 4 at the date of initial application. Contracts that were not identified as leases under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 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 standard-alone prices.

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 property, machinery, vehicles and other equipment. 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 (e.g., laptop computers and telephones); 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 other payables and accruals.

The right-of-use assets were measured at the amount of the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the leases 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.

8

For the leasehold land and buildings (that were held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation) previously included in investment properties and measured at fair value, the Group has continued to include them as investment properties at 1 January 2019. They continue to be measured at fair value applying HKAS 40.

The Group has used the following elective practical expedients when applying HKFRS 16 at 1 January 2019:

• Applied the short-term lease exemptions to leases with a lease term that ends within 12 months from the date of initial application
• Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend/ terminate the lease
• Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics

The impacts arising from the adoption of HKFRS 16 as at 1 January 2019 are as follows:
			(Unaudited)
			HK$'000

Increase in right-of-use assets	93,319

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 the 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.

10

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 (including in- substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for termination of a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

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.

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the six months ended 30 June 2019, upon the development of the landscaping services business, it became a reportable operating segment.

For management purposes, the Group's operating businesses are structured and managed separately according to the nature of their operations and the products and services they provide. Each of the Group's operating segments represents a strategic business unit that offers products and services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the other operating segments. Particulars of the Group's reportable operating segments are summarised as follows:

1. the solid waste treatment segment comprises the construction and operation of waste incineration plants, waste treatment and the sale of electricity and steam generated from waste incineration;
2. the landscaping services segment comprises the construction, design, project survey and design and construction project management; and
3. the corporate and others segment comprises property investment and corporate income and expense items.

11

The management monitors the results of the Group's operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/loss, which is measured consistently with the Group's profit for the period.

Segment assets and liabilities of each of the reportable operating segments are separately managed by each of the individual operating segments.

The following table presents the revenue and profit/(loss) information of the Group's operating segments for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2018 and the asset and liability information of the Group's operating segments as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018, respectively.

Geographical information

Geographical information is not presented since over 90% of the Group's revenue from external customers is generated in Mainland China and over 90% of the non-current assets (other than financial assets) of the Group are located in Mainland China. Accordingly, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, the presentation of geographical information would provide no additional useful information to the users of the interim financial information.

13

BUSINESS PROSPECT

Ha'erbin Project is the most far north waste incineration project in Mainland China. Its operating results were underperforming due to the extreme cold weather in winter and left- behind construction problems during the project construction period. On the one hand, the Group is actively exploring the options for technological improvement; on the other, we will further evaluate the long-term benefits generated by this project for the Group, review the development direction and plan of the project, and make adjustment to the Group's resources allocation.

Beifa Landscape is a new sector for the Group in the environmental protection industry with the national urban landscape greenery level 1 qualifications. It passed the national ISO9001 quality management and ISO14001 environmental management certification, and is expected to provide the profit growth point for the Group.

The Group will fully leverage its advantages in branding, resources and technologies, deepen efficiency management and control, and keep on seeking potential investment opportunities to strengthen the overall competitiveness and market position of the Group in the solid waste treatment industry.

In order to cope with the business expansion, a formalised internal audit functional department will be considered to establish in the future.
2. Under Code Provision E.1.2, the chairman of the board should attend the annual general meeting. He should also invite the chairman of the audit, remuneration and nomination committees to attend. However, the chairman of the board and the chairmen of the board committees were unable to attend the 2019 annual general meeting of the Company due to other business engagements.
