Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2020

1. Corporation information and basis of preparation

China Financial International Investments Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Cayman Islands Companies Law as an exempted company with its shares listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"). With effect from 9 May 2006, the Company was de-registered from the Cayman Islands under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and re-domiciled in Bermuda under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda as an exempted company. The Company's registered office address is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, HM 11, Bermuda and the Company's principal place of business is Suite 2001, 20th Floor, Tower 1, The Gateway, Harbour City, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are principally engaged in investing in listed and unlisted companies established and/or doing business in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("HKAS 34") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules").

In the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have given due and careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. For the six months ended 31 December 2020, the Group reported loss for the year of HK$27,874,000. At 31 December 2020, the Group had bank balances and cash of HK$7,554,000 and net current assets of HK$42,203,000. Future cash flows from operating activities are dependent on realisation of the listed and unlisted investments. In order to continue funding future capital programmes, the Company may need to obtain additional equity or debt financing, or assess other options. The ability to access the required capital to maintain current financial position and cash flows is dependent on a variety of external factors.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Group has the ability to obtain debt or equity financing, or other sources of funding for future capital programmes should the need arise.

They have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except for financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI which have been measured at fair value. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do 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 30 June 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs").

Interim Report 2020

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the six months ended 31 December 2020

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in compliance with HKAS 34 requires the use of certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020. The accounting policies adopted in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, except for the adoption of the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA as disclosed below.

Other than changes in accounting policies resulting from application of new and amendments to HKFRSs, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 are the same as those presented in the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Application of new and amendments to HKFRSs

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA which are mandatorily effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 for the preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements:

Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8	Definition of Material
Amendments to HKFRS	3	Definition of a Business
Amendments to HKFRS	9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7	Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The application of the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the amendments to HKFRSs in the current period has had no material impact on the Group's financial position and performance for the current and prior periods and/or on the disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Except as described below, the application of the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRSs and the amendments to HKFRSs in the current period has had no material impact on the Group's financial positions and performance for the current and prior periods and/or on the disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impacts of application on Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 "Definition of Material"

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.

The application of the amendments in the current period has had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Changes in presentation and disclosures on the application of the amendments, if any, will be reflected on the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2021.

2A. Significant events and transactions in the current interim period

The pandemic impact of COVID-19 and the subsequent quarantine measures as well as the travel restrictions imposed by many countries have had negative impacts to the global economy and business environment, and directly and indirectly affecting the operations of the Group. The financial position and performance of the Group have been affected in different aspects, including reduction in revenue and reduction in the returns in the investments.

Hong Kong Profit Tax is calculated at 8.25% on the first HK$2,000,000 of the estimated assessable profits and at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits above HK$2,000,000 for both periods.

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made in the financial statements as the Group has no assessable profits for the year (31 December 2019: assessable profit of the Group is wholly absorbed by tax losses brought forward for the period).

Under the Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the "EIT Law") and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25% for both periods.

The Scheme was approved and adopted by shareholders of the Company on 15 January 2008 (the "Date of Adoption"), whereby the directors of the Company are authorised, at their discretion, to invite full time employees of the Group, (including executive and non-executive directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and any suppliers, consultants, agents or advisers of the Group, to take up options to subscribe for shares of the Company. The maximum number of shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Scheme, when aggregated with any shares subject to any other schemes, shall not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company on the Date of Adoption.

On 15 December 2017, the Scheme was terminated and the new share option scheme (the "New Scheme") was approved by the Shareholders of the Company at the annual general meeting to replace the Scheme. The New Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of 10 years ending on 14 December 2027.

The closing price of the shares on the Stock Exchange (as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets) on the offer date, which must be a business day;
The average of the closing prices of the shares on the Stock Exchange (as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets) for the 5 business days immediately preceding the offer date; and
The nominal value of the Company's shares on the offer date.

The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant in the Scheme within any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. Any further grant of share options in excess of this limit is subject to shareholders' approval in a general meeting.

Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or to any of their associates, are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors.

The offer of a grant of share options under the New Scheme may be accepted within 21 days from the date of offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of HK$1 in total by the grantee. The exercise period of the share options granted is determinable by the directors.

Share options do not confer rights on the holders to dividends or to vote at shareholders' meetings.

The maximum number of the shares available for issue upon exercise of all share options which may be further granted under the New Scheme is 1,097,163,403 shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company on 15 December 2017.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value measurements of financial instruments

A number of assets and liabilities included in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements require measurement at, and/or disclosure of, fair value. The fair value measurement of the Group's financial and non-financial assets and liabilities utilised market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilised are (the "Fair Value Hierarchy"):

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items (unadjusted);
Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs;
Level 3: Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data).

The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognised in the period they occur.

The following tables illustrate the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's financial instruments:
