INTERIM REPORT 2020

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability. Its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").

The address of its registered office and the principal place of business of the Company are Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and Room 1411, 14/F., New World Tower I, 16-18 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong respectively.

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Company's subsidiaries are principally engaged in sales and distribution of natural gas and other related products.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$") and the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi ("RMB"). All values are rounded to the nearest thousands ("HK$'000") except when otherwise indicated.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB") and the applicable disclosures requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange ("Listing Rules").

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values.

Going concern

At 30 June 2020, the current liabilities of the Group exceeded its current assets by approximately HK$1,129,194,000 (31 December 2019: net current liabilities HK$1,048,086,000).

At 30 June 2020, the Group had unutilised banking facilities in aggregate of approximately HK$620,056,000 (31 December 2019: HK$100,977,000). Subsequent to 30 June 2020, the Group is granted with additional bank facilities in aggregate of approximately HK$1,340,000,000 (31 December 2019: HK$1,087,500,000). In addition, the management of the Group has prepared the Group's cash flow projections covering a period of not less than twelve months from 30 June 2020. Based on the cash flow projections, the management of the Group will have sufficient financial resources to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the coming twelve months from 30 June 2020. The management has made key assumptions on the projections with regard to the anticipated cash flows from the Group's operations, capital expenditures and the continuous availability of bank facilities.

INTERIM REPORT 2020

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Going concern (Continued)

The management of the Company is of the opinion that, taking into account the confirmed credit commitments from financial institutions, existing internal financial resources and the cash flow projections of the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements. Hence, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Should the Group be unable to operate as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to write down the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, and to provide for any further liabilities which might arise. The effect of these adjustments has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Other than additional accounting policies resulting from application of amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new and amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the IASB which are mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020:

Amendments to IAS 1 and

Definition of Material

IAS 8

Amendments to IAS 3

Definition of a Business

Amendments to IFRS 9,

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

IAS 39 and IFRS 7

The new amendments to IFRSs have been applied in accordance with the relevant transition provisions in the respective standards and amendments which results in changes in accounting policies.

3.1 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

3.1.1 Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of IAS 1 and IAS 8

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states "information is material if omitting misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity." The amendments also clarify that materiality depends on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.

    1. Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of IAS 1 and IAS 8 (Continued)
      The application of the amendments in the current period had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

      Effective from 1 January 2020, the Group can elect to apply an optional concentration test, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The concentration test is met is substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The gross assets under assessment exclude cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, and goodwill resulting from the effects of deferred tax liabilities.

      Hedge accounting
      For the purpose of determining whether a forecast transaction (or a component thereof) in a cash flow hedge is highly probable, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows (contractually or non-contractually specified) are based is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.

      In assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows and/or the hedged risk (contractually or non-contractually specified) are based, or the interest rate benchmark on which the cash flows of the hedging instrument are based, is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.

      For the purpose of reclassifying the amount of accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in order to determine whether the hedged future cash flows are expected to occur, the Group assumes the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows (contractually or non- contractually specified) are based is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
    2. Transition and summary of effects
      The amendments had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
  2. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

Seasonal fluctuation exists in our natural gas business. The demand is generally higher in the second half of the year due to the winter heating consumption.

Our interim results for the first half of the year may not serve as an indication of our results of operations for the entire financial year.

5. REVENUE (Continued)

  1. Performance obligations for contracts with customers

Natural gas refueling station/trading and distribution of natural gas/direct LNG supply

For CNG and LNG refueling stations for vehicles, distributing and trading of CNG and LNG as a wholesaler to industrial and commercial users and direct supply of LNG through direct supply facilities, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customers obtain the control of goods which is when the gas refueling process have completed and the gas has been delivered to the wholesaler's specific location respectively. Transportation and other related activities that incurred before customers obtain control of the related products are considered as fulfilment activities. For direct LNG supply and trading and distribution of natural gas, the Group would require advance payment before the delivery of the natural gas for certain customers, any shortage against the periodically actual delivery of natural gas will be billed by the Group accordingly. The normal credit term for trading and distribution of natural gas is 30 days to 90 days upon delivery.

For natural gas refueling station, customers are required to purchase an oil card and top up the advance payment stored in the card for future usage of natural gas to be supplied by the Group. The Group requires advance payment before the usage of natural gas through oil card. Any shortage resulted in the oil, the group grant a normal credit term of 30 days upon the issue of monthly statement of the oil card.

City Gas, pipeline construction fee, value-added service and others

For sales of natural gas to residential, industrial and commercial users through pipelines and other related products, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customers obtain the control of goods when the gas are supplied to and consumed by the end users. The normal credit term is 30 days to 90 days upon delivery.

For pipeline construction fee, the Group provides gas pipeline construction services under construction contracts with its customers. Such contracts are entered into before construction of the gas pipeline begins. The Group's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs. Revenue from construction of gas pipeline is recognised over time on an input method, i.e. based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. The Directors consider that this input method is an appropriate measure of the progress towards complete satisfaction of these performance obligations under IFRS 15.

The Group requires certain customers to provide upfront deposits before the commencement of the construction which will give rise to contract liabilities until the revenue recognised on the relevant contracts exceed the amount of the deposits. The Group is entitled to invoice customers for gas pipeline construction services upon completion of construction works. The Group recognises contract asset for any work performed in excess of payment from customer for the same contract. Any amount previously recognised as a contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables upon completion of construction works. The Group allows an average credit period of 90 days to its customers.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING

Information reported to the chief operating decision makers ("CODM"), for the purpose of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on sales channel and nature of the goods being sold or services rendered. These revenue streams and the basis of the internal reports about components of the Group are regularly reviewed by the CODM in order to allocate resources to segments and to assess their performance. No operating segments identified by the CODM have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group.

During the period, as a result of the restructure of internal information reporting purposes, the Group has determined that there are four reportable segments under IFRS 8 which are set out below. The comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

  1. Natural gas for transportation - operation of CNG and LNG refueling stations for vehicles
  2. Trading and distribution of natural gas - distributing and trading CNG and LNG, fuel oil and other related oil by products as a wholesaler to industrial and commercial users.
  3. Direct LNG supply - distributing LNG to industrial and commercial users through direct supply facilities.
  4. City gas, pipeline construction fee, value-added service and others - sale of natural gas to residential, industrial and commercial users through pipelines, other income from value-added service such as repair and maintenance service, pipeline construction fee and others, such as transportation income. Share of result of an associate, which is engaged in provision of port facilities for vessels and re- gasification of LNG was also included in this segment.

MANAGEMENT

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Affected by COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020, global economic activities weakened and energy consumption was sluggish. China's natural gas market operated with a weak trend on the whole. In the first half of 2020, the apparent consumption of natural gas reached 155.61 billion cubic meters, representing a year-on- year increase of 4.0%; production of natural gas amounted to 94.96 billion cubic meters, representing a year-on- year increase of 9.9%; import of natural gas hit 66.74 billion cubic meters, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.3%. Influenced by this, natural gas business of the Group experienced a certain extent of decline. For the six months ended 30 June 2020 ("HY2020"), the Group's gas sales volume decreased by 34.4% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to 342.0 million cubic meters (HY2019: 521.5 million cubic meters), while sales income decreased by 35.6% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$1,212.6 million (HY2019: HK$1,882.6 million), which was due to a decrease in gas sales volume and terminal selling price caused by the decline in natural gas demand. The gross profit decreased by 45.2% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$114.0 million (HY2019: HK$207.9 million) with gross profit margin recording a year-on-year decrease of 9.4% (HY2019: 11.0%), mainly due to (i) decline in sales, (ii) drop in the gross profit margin for LNG trading business which accounts for a larger proportion of the sales and thus lowered the overall gross profit margin. In terms of expenses, the Group made good progress in its measure aiming to reduce cost and improve efficiency. In the first half of the year, administrative expenses decreased by 7.8% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$116.1 million (HY2019: HK$125.9 million), because the Group optimized its organization structure and imposed strict control on expense to realize a year-on-year decrease in all administrative expenses. Finance cost decreased by 22.1% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$106.2 million (HY2019: HK$136.4 million), and the overall finance cost phenomenally recorded a year-on-year decrease even though the overall interest-bearing liabilities increased because the Group made active effort to optimize financing structure with the assistance from its controlling shareholder, and convertible bonds with higher financial cost were all paid off as of 30 June 2020, which resulted in increase in proportion of borrowing from commercial banks with lower financial cost. Net profit decreased by 49.1% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$81.5 million (HY2019: HK$160.1 million), because apart from decline in sales income and gross profit margin, revenue from the associate Jingtang also decreased as compared to the corresponding period of last year.

As at 30 June 2020, the Group's natural gas projects covered a total of 17 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in the PRC, namely Liaoning, Jilin, Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, Shanxi, Shannxi, Ningxia Autonomous Region, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan.

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION MANAGEMENT

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

CITY GAS BUSINESS

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had 8 city gas concession rights. During the period, an additional city gas concession right located in Jilin Chagan Lake Ecological Town was granted. In the first half of the year, the Group connected gas pipelines for 24,990 new users and the cumulative number of users reached 502,433, of which 24,901 were new residential users and the cumulative number of residential users reached 499,850. The natural gas sold to residential users amounted to 36.2 million cubic meters (HY2019: 35.7 million cubic meters). The Group secured 89 new industrial and commercial users and the cumulative number reached 2,583 with natural gas sold to industrial and commercial users reaching 30.5 million cubic meters (HY2019: 51.9 million cubic meters). The gas sales volume of city gas projects of the Group was 66.7 million cubic meters (HY2019: 87.6 million cubic meters) during the period, representing a decrease of 23.9% as compared to the corresponding period of last year. The Group recorded a sales income of HK$332.7 million (HY2019: HK$465.4 million), representing a decrease of 28.5% as compared to the corresponding period of last year, of which income from connection projects increased by 155.0% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$128.0 million (HY2019: HK$50.2 million). Among the city gas consumption combination, residential gas consumption recorded a year-on-year increment, while the non-residential gas consumption in contrast, experienced a year-on-year decline, the major reason is due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, residents stayed at home for longer period and resumption of production activities were postponed.

DIRECT LNG SUPPLY BUSINESS

During HY2020, gas sales volume of direct supply business increased significantly by 132.4% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to 52.3 million cubic meters (HY2019: 22.5 million cubic meters), and sales income increased by 92.0% as compared to the corresponding period of last year to HK$152.1 million (HY2019: HK$79.2 million). Benefiting from low and stable prices in LNG market in the first half of the year, LNG is more cost effective than other energies and pipeline natural gas, thus downstream end users, including direct supply industrial users and city gas users, had increasing intention to replace or a growing demand to increase the LNG supply. As such, the Group seized opportunities to attract new users. In the first half of the year, the Group put 2 new direct supply projects into production and restarted 2 old projects. As of 30 June 2020, the Group had 35 direct supply projects. During COVID-19 pandemic period, as most of the direct supply projects of the Group are located in the East China where downstream enterprises consuming gas resumed their work and production quickly with slight influence from the pandemic, the overall gas sales volume and income did not decrease but grew.

GAS REFUELING STATION BUSINESS

In HY2020, the Group owned 27 gas refueling stations, including 16 CNG refueling stations and 11 LNG refueling stations, with gas sales volume of 11.4 million cubic meters (HY2019: 17.1 million cubic meters). The Group recorded a sales income of HK$41.3 million (HY2019: HK$79.1 million), representing a decrease of 47.8% as compared to the corresponding period of last year, gas refueling station business experienced a drop mainly because demand from transportation industry weakened under the pandemic. The Group will develop regional LNG refueling stations based on its layout of the whole LNG industrial chain in the future.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

TRADING AND DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL GAS BUSINESS

In HY2020, gas sales volume of trading and distribution of natural gas business amounted to 211.6 million cubic meters (HY2019: 394.2 million cubic meters), representing a decrease of 46.3% as compared to the corresponding period of last year; sales income reached HK$686.5 million (HY2019: HK$1,259.0 million), representing a decrease of 45.5% as compared to the corresponding period of last year; Affected by COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the year, supply in LNG market was adequate with fierce competition in prices. As such, the Group paid greater attention to the quality of trading business, and only retained key trading projects involving its layout of the whole LNG industrial chain to reduce the damage of low gross profit to the overall profit and cash flow of the Group, thus the business of this segment experienced a decline as compared to the corresponding period of last year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the overall economic environment of domestic market are gradually recovering and demands for natural gas will increase steadily as the impact of COVID-19 pandemic weakens. The year 2020 is the final year for the 13th Five-Year Plan and the "Blue Sky Three-year Defensive plan". As a clean and environmentally friendly source of energy, natural gas receives great support from several national policies, so it is highly possible that it will grow in the long term with great probability for restorative growth in the short term. Consumption of natural gas in the second half of 2020 is expected to grow faster than that in the first half of the year. As China Oil and Gas Pipeline Network Group implemented several projects, market-oriented reform in natural gas industry will yield important development in the second half of the year, further boosting growth in consumption and promoting long-term healthy development for natural gas industry. It is expected that China Oil and Gas Pipeline Network Group will be put into service in this winter, a season requiring heat supply, thus the Group will also pay great attention to market opportunities brought by such change.

In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to implement the development strategy of "city gas+LNG", and seek city gas project both at home and abroad so as to seize opportunities for acquisition and merger. The Group will keep improving LNG industrial chain, and make great effort to develop businesses with great advantages in the whole LNG industrial chain. Benefiting from the historically low prices in LNG market, the downstream end market is filled with greater opportunities for expansion than previous years, and the Group is negotiating on several quality projects currently. On 3 July 2020, the Group entered into share purchase agreements with SK E&S, pursuant to which, both parties will conduct business cooperation in the East China. Levering advantages that SK E&S possesses in the whole LNG industrial chain, the Group is expected to get LNG resources with lower price and the window period for receiving terminal within Zhejiang, thus the Group can cooperate with SK E&S as the sole underwriter. In the second half of the year, the Group expects to cooperate with SK E&S for approximately 120-150 thousand tons of LNG business, further enhancing the Group's market position and increasing its competitive strength in natural gas business.

In terms of operation, as disclosed in the announcement dated 3 July 2020, the board of directors and core management of the Company were changed, showing that Beijing Gas Group will play a greater role in daily operation and management of the Group. In the future, major shareholder will provide the Group with full support in strategic synergy, business support, investment and financing arrangement, and personnel recruitment and management to help the Group embark on a new stage in its development with greater performance to reward shareholders and investors. In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to fully implement the concept of "reducing cost while increasing efficiency" to maximize its profitability. The Group will optimize organization structure and impose strict control on expense to control administrative expenses, and improve financing structure on an ongoing basis with assistance from major shareholder to expand financing channel and enhance financing strength, so as to reduce financing cost, increase value of assets for the Company, and improve profitability.
