Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2019

  1. GENERAL INFORMATION
    The Company is a limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 7 October 2009. The address of its registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The Company's principal place of business is located at Room 617, 6/F., Seapower Tower, Concordia Plaza, 1 Science Museum Road, Tsimshatsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Company's shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and have been suspended for trading since 14 February 2013.
    The Company acts as an investment holding company. The Company, through its major subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sale of (i) polymer processed high strength polyester fabric composite materials and other reinforced composite materials ("Reinforced Materials"), (ii) conventional materials ("Conventional Materials") and (iii) PVC elastic flooring product ("PVC Floor") during the period.
    In the opinion of the directors of the Company (the "Directors"), as at the date of issue of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements"), Hopeland International Holdings Company Limited ("Hopeland International") is the ultimate holding company of the Company; and Mr. Lin Shengxiong ("Mr. Lin"), the Chairman and an executive director, is the ultimate controlling party of the Company.
  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ("Interim Financial Reporting") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
    The Interim Financial Statements do not included all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2018 annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 ("2018 Annual Report"). The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in 2018 Annual Report except as stated below.
    Leases
    The Group as lessee
    Leases are recognised as right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities when the leased assets are available for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation of right-of-use assets is calculated at rates to write off their cost over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Land and buildings

2% - 60%

Machinery

10%

- 5 -

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities, lease payments prepaid, initial direct costs and the restoration costs. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be determined, or otherwise the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Short-term leases are leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are assets of value below US$ 5,000.

The Group as lessor

Operating leases

Leases that do not substantially transfer to the lessees all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight- line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2019. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"); Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS"); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies, presentation of the Group's financial statements and amounts reported for the current period and prior years.

HKFRS 16

On adoption of HKFRS 16, the Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under HKAS 17 "Leases", resulted in changes in the consolidated amounts reported in the financial statement as follows:

1 January 2019

There is only one operating segment which is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sale of (i) Reinforced Materials, (ii) Conventional Materials and (iii) PVC Floor during the periods. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to a customer, there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products and the customer has obtained legal titles to the products.

Sales to customers are normally made with credit terms of 30 to 90 days. For new customers, payment in advance is normally required. Deposits received are recognised as a contract liability.

A receivable is recognised when the products are delivered to the customers as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Business Review

The Group is renowned as one of the pioneers in the industry of producing new reinforced material in the PRC, providing new materials for professional use along with eco-friendly and renewable super core flooring products for a broad spectrum of industries including modern transportation, construction, renewable energy, agriculture, healthcare, sports, outdoor leisure and daily supplies. The management team of the Group has vast experience in proprietary technology, product innovation and marketing. With this experienced management team, the Group implemented a market-oriented strategy. The Group also engaged in the development and sales of new products developed by its research and development ("R&D") team and academic institutions. A number of these newly developed products and their production techniques were granted independent intellectual property rights and national patents on technology.

The Group's reinforced materials (the "Reinforced Materials") business, located in Fuzhou and Shanghai, utilizes self-developed facilities and techniques, which has acquired national patents for invention, to produce new materials, including drop stitch fabric, architectural membrane, waterproofing membrane, marquees materials, air tightness materials, inflatable boats materials and inflatable materials. These materials exhibit nine characteristics, including high tensile strength, anti-tearing,anti-stripping, flame retardancy, anti-bacteria,anti-corrosive, durable, low temperature resistance and sunlight resistance. Given the diversified applications of the Reinforced Materials and end-use products, the Group's products can be applied in eleven major sectors including outdoor leisure, sports, renewable energy, protection, construction, logistic, packaging, medical use, safety products, advertising and daily supplies.

The operations of the Group's flooring product ("PVC Floor") business are based in Fuzhou. The product is the world's only renewable new type of lightweight decorative material for flooring. It has become the first choice for floor decorative materials throughout countries in Europe, US, as well as in Japan and Korea due to its outstanding features and eco-friendly properties. PVC Floor is sold in the global markets under the brand name "Zero Formaldehyde Super Core Flooring". It meets the environmental and technical requirements in the Europe and the US which is approved by environmental certifications including EU CE, US Floorscore, French A+, German AgBB, ROHS2.0 and REACH rules. The product quality also meets the several international standards, allowing it to be broadly used in a wide variety of fields including education, medicine, commerce, sports, office environments, industrial use, transport, and everyday household items.

Revenue for the period under review was approximately RMB318.1 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB57.2 million, or 21.9%, compared to revenue of approximately RMB260.9 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in demand for Reinforced Materials.

- 13 -

The Group's products can be categorised into three types: (i) Reinforced Materials, (ii) conventional materials ("Conventional Materials") and (iii) PVC Floor. The Group generated most of its revenue from the Reinforced Materials which accounted for approximately 94.75% (30 June 2018: 97.57%) of total revenue. Local sales continued to be the Group's major source of revenue, representing approximately 67% (30 June 2018: 65%) of the total revenue while export sales only accounted for approximately 33% (30 June 2018: 35%) of the total revenue.

Exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and related hedge

The Group had some high-end products operated and sold on the European market. Given the reform of the Renminbi exchange rate, depreciation of US dollars and other factors, the exchange rate for Renminbi to US dollars fluctuated, resulting in exchange loss of certain trade orders to some extent. However, as the Group is principally engaged in business in Mainland China, most of the business transactions are settled in Renminbi ("RMB"). All subsidiaries of the Group do business within the RMB sphere, and their functional currency is RMB. The Group's reporting currency is RMB.

The Group's cash and bank deposits are predominantly in RMB. Based on the aforesaid, the Group does not enter into any agreement to hedge against any foreign exchange risk. The Company will pay dividends in Hong Kong Dollars if dividends are declared and it will continue to monitor the fluctuation of RMB closely and will introduce suitable measures as and when appropriate.
