NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation and principal accounting policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and 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").
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared with the same accounting policies adopted in the Group's annual financial statements for the period from 1 April 2019 to 31 December 2019 (the "2019 annual financial statements"), except for those additional accounting policies resulting from application of amendments to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") as disclosed in note 2 and application of accounting policy which became relevant to the Group as described below:
Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
Government grants relate to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Such grants are presented under "Other revenue, gains and losses, net".
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 areas where significant judgements and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$"), unless otherwise stated. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain unaudited condensed 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 2019 annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs and should be read in conjunction with the 2019 annual financial statements.
On 2 December 2019, the Company announced to change its financial year end date from 31 March to 31 December in order to have a coterminous year end date with that of its substantial shareholder, which is a Hong Kong listed company domiciled in Bermuda, for comparable presentation of financial performance and position.
Accordingly, the comparative figures presented for the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and related notes, which covers a six-month period from 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019, are not comparable with those of the current interim period which covers a six-month period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020.

2. Application of amendments to HKFRSs
In the current interim period, the Group has applied the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 for the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
Amendments to HKFRS 3 | Definition of a Business |
Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 | Definition of Material |
Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform |
In addition, the Group has early applied the Amendment to HKFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions.
Except as described below, the application of the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the amendments to HKFRSs in the current interim 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Impacts and accounting policies on early application of Amendment to HKFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions
Accounting policies
Leases
COVID-19-related rent concessions
Rent concessions relation to lease contracts that occurred as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has elected to apply the practical expedient not to assess whether the change is a lease modification if all of the following conditions are met:
- the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
- any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and
- there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
A lessee applying the practical expedient accounts for changes in lease payments resulting from rent concessions the same way it would account for the changes applying HKFRS 16 Leases if the changes were not a lease modification. Forgiveness or waiver of lease payments are accounted for as variable lease payments. The related lease liabilities are adjusted to reflect the amounts forgiven or waived with a corresponding adjustment recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the event occurs.
Transition and summary of effects
The Group has early applied the amendment in current interim period. The application has no impact to the opening accumulated losses at 1 January 2020. The Group recognised changes in lease payments resulted from rent concessions of HK$1,170,000 in profit or loss for the current interim period.

RESULTS, BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Results
The Board announced on 2 December 2019 that the financial year end date of the Group had been changed from 31 March to 31 December.
The above change was to align with the financial year end date of the Company's substantial shareholder which have a significant influence over the Company and whose accounts are to be closed at the financial year end date of 31 December. The Board considers that this change will minimise the resources, such as audit fee, applied for the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group arising from the difference in the financial year end dates of the Company and its above mentioned substantial shareholder.
For the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Period"), the Group's revenue decreased by approximately ("approx.") 51% to approx. HK$118 million, compared with approx. HK$240 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019 (the "Corresponding Period"). Gross profit margin for the Period was approx. 39% compared to approx. 24% in the Corresponding Period. Overall, the loss attributable to owners of the Company was approx. HK$39 million compared with the loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approx. HK$77 million in the Corresponding Period.
Business Review
The Group recorded a decrease in revenue by approx. 51% for the Period compared to the revenue of the Group for the Corresponding Period as a result of the negative impact from COVID-19.
During the Period, the OBM toys business contributed the revenue of approx. HK$45 million compared with the Corresponding Period of approx. HK$179 million. The Chinese health products business has contributed revenue of approx. HK$58 million during the Period compared with the Corresponding Period of approx. HK$49 million. The impact from COVID-19 was partially offset by the change of financial year, which the Period included the lunar new year, a peak season for the Chinese health product business. The money lending business has contributed revenue of approx. HK$15 million (2019: approx. HK$14 million) during the Period. The investment in financial instruments business had no realised gain or loss during the Period (2019: realised loss of approx. HK$2 million).
The gross profit margin increased to 39% from 24% of the Corresponding Period mainly because of a decrease in contribution from the OBM Toys segment which generated a lower gross profit margin, comparing with other segments.
18
The Group recorded a decrease in loss for the Period of approx. HK$40 million to approx. HK$39 million during the Period compared with the Corresponding Period of approx. HK$79 million. The reduction in loss was mainly attributable to the significant decrease in segment losses of investment in financial instruments to approx. HK$19 million (2019: HK$54 million) for the Period.
Chinese Health Products
Ace Season Holdings Limited ("Ace Season") and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the sales of Chinese and other pharmaceutical products, health products, ginseng and dried seafood products to wholesaler and retailer. One of the subsidiaries of Ace Season, Nam Pei Hong Sum
Yung Drugs Company Limited engages in the business of trading and retail of "Sum Yung"(參 茸)and dried seafood products since 1977 and the brand name of "Nam Pei Hong"(南北行)is
highly recognised in Hong Kong and Southern Mainland China.
During the Period, this segment had contributed revenue of approx. HK$58 million (2019: HK$49
million) and a loss of approx. HK$2 million (2019: HK$6 million). As at 30 June 2020, there were
10 retail shops of Nam Pei Hong (2019: 11 retail shops). The increase in revenue and improvement of results was mainly because of the change of financial year of which the Period included the lunar new year, a peak season for the Chinese Health Products Business.
OBM Toys
The outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the sales of our Own Brand Manufacturing ("OBM") business, especially the North American Market. Sales for the period ended 30 June 2020 decreased approx. 75% from approx. HK$179 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019 to approx. HK$45 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
The COVID-19 recession had impacted the OBM Toys segment's revenues decline significantly due to the overall drop in consumer demand, reduced discretionary spending, and nationwide lockdown resulting in stores remaining closed in Q2. Under mandatory "stay-at-home" or "shelter- in-place" orders, 90% of the domestic spring & summer orders of the OBM Toys segment got cancelled in April because of the store closure. Products sold was much lower comparing to the Corresponding Period.
For the six months ended 30 June 2020, North America remained our major destination for the Group's OBM toys, with shipments amounting to approx. HK$43 million compared to HK$173 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019, accounted for approx. 98% (2019: 97%) of the revenue from OBM Toys segment.

19
Money Lending

HK$15 million (2019: HK$14 million), and reported a segment loss (before taxation) of approx. HK$2 million (2019: profit of HK$8 million). The segment loss of the Period was mainly due to the increase in allowance for expected credit losses under a weaker Hong Kong economy during the Period. The average monthly outstanding balance of loans receivables was HK$286 million in the six months ended 30 June 2020. During the Period, the Group granted new loans in the aggregate principal amount of HK$26 million to three customers.

HK$18 million (2019: HK$11 million) was provided.
Investment in Financial Instruments
During the Period, the Group's investment in financial instruments business reported a segment loss of approx. HK$19 million (2019: HK$54 million) arising from the change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group invested in a diversified portfolio of listed equity securities in various industries.

Accordingly, the directors closely monitor the above factors, particularly the fundamentals of each individual investee company in the Group's equity portfolio, and proactively adjust the Group's equity portfolio mix in order to improve its performance.
PLANS AND PROSPECTS
OBM Toys
Kid Galaxy will expect a considerable decline in sales in 2020 comparing to 2019. Also, with the uncertain threat of getting hit by tariff and COVID-19, Kid Galaxy's profit margin may further get hurt in 2020.
Consumers are shopping with greater awareness of the environment, health and cost. A huge rise in digital commerce with the lockdowns in place and many stores shuttered. Kid Galaxy will continue investing more efforts and putting out more promotions for their ecommerce business to catch this trend which likely to continue post-pandemic.
This segment is also expecting its domestic sales to improve in the coming months as retail stores had begun to reopen in June.
