NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2020

  1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
    The Company was incorporated as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands with limited liability on 22 February 2017. The address of the registered office of the Company in Cayman Islands is located at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The headquarters, head office and principal place of business in the PRC is located at Baililiu Village, Zhutang Township, Suiping County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, PRC. The principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong is located at Rooms 1508-1513, Nan Fung Tower, 88 Connaught Road Central, Central, Hong Kong. The shares of the Company are listed on the Stock Exchange.
    The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activity of its subsidiaries is engaged in the provision of driving training services in the PRC.
    The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB, which is the currency of the primary economic environment all the group entities operate (the functional currency of group entities).
  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis at the end of the reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
    Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 "Share-based Payment", leasing transactions that are accounted for in accordance with HKFRS 16 "Leases" and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 "Inventories" or value in use in HKAS 36 "Impairment of Assets".

In the current year, 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 the consolidated financial statements:

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

The Group has applied the Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 for the first time in the current year.

No provision for taxation has been recognised for companies incorporated in the Cayman Islands and the BVI as they are not subject to any tax during both years.

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been recognised during the year ended 31 December 2020 as the Group does not have income which arises in, or derived from, Hong Kong.

Under the Law of the PRC on EIT (the "EIT Law") and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25%.

- 7 -

Under the EIT Law of PRC, withholding tax is imposed on dividends declared in respect of profits earned by the PRC subsidiaries from 1 January 2008 onwards. Deferred taxation has not been provided for in respect of temporary differences attributable to accumulated profits of the PRC subsidiaries amounting to RMB109,990,000 as at 31 December 2020 (2019: RMB98,851,000), as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

  1. DIVIDENDS
    No dividend has been paid or proposed for ordinary shareholders of the Company during 2020, nor has any dividend been proposed since the end of the reporting period (2019: nil).
  2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
    The calculation of the basic earnings per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following data:

2020

2019

Earnings:

Earnings for the purpose of basic earnings per share

(in RMB'000)

19,084

Number of shares:

Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose

of basic earnings per share

400,000,000

318,904,110

There were no potential ordinary shares in issue for the year ended 31 December 2020. The computation of diluted earnings per share during the year ended 31 December 2019 did not assume the exercise of the Company's over-allotment option because the exercise price of the over-allotment option was higher than the average market price for shares.

The Group's payment methods with its customers for provision of driving training service are mainly on cash and through online payment platforms. Generally, the course emolument fees are billed in advance with no credit period granted to customers. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances.

No balance as at 31 December 2020 (2019: RMB86,000) which is past due more than 90 days are not considered as in default as those balances were mainly with those government authorities with good credit quality and pending for completing their allocating funds procedures. Based on the historical credit loss experience and/or general economic conditions of the debtors, the directors of the Company consider the expected credit loss on these debtors to be insignificant.

The trade and other receivables are all denominated in the functional currency of the respective entities in the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group continued to engage in the provision of driving training services through its operating subsidiaries, namely Shun Da School and Tong Tai School. Shun Da School is a qualified level II driving school established and commenced operation in 2012 which offers driving training services for preparation for Driving Tests of Small Vehicles. Tong Tai School is a qualified level I driving school established and commenced operation in 2014 which offers driving training services for preparation for Driving Tests of both Large Vehicles and Small Vehicles.

The overall business performance and operation of the Group was affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first half of the year 2020, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health measures were imposed by the PRC government to contain the spread of the disease, which had eventually led to temporary suspension of our provision of driving training services. Since late February 2020, the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in Henan province came under control. Tong Tai School and Shun Da School had respectively made an application to the relevant government authority for resumption of provision of driving training services and were permitted to resume operation since 29 February 2020 and 3 April 2020, respectively. During the second half of the year 2020, due to steady recovery of the market conditions from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the PRC, we experienced a rebound in the number of course enrolment for, as well as the number of trainees attended on our driving training courses.

The total number of course enrolments of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to 12,645 (year ended 31 December 2019: 12,662), which remained stable comparing to that of the corresponding period in 2019. Although the provision of driving training services by Tong Tai School was suspended in the first quarter of 2020, the overall number of course enrolments of Tong Tai School amounted to 9,652 (year ended 31 December 2019: 7,626), representing a steady increase of approximately 26.6%. Standard and premium course of Large Vehicle remained the primary growth driver in relation to the number of course enrolments, recording a steady increase of approximately 28.0% from 5,296 for the year ended 31 December 2019 to 6,779 for the year ended 31 December 2020 which has set off the effect of the decrease in the number enrolment of standard and premium courses of Small Vehicles by approximately 20.4% from 7,366 for the year ended

31 December 2019 to 5,866 for the year ended 31 December 2020. The following table sets out the breakdown of the number of course enrolments by our trainees by types of courses for the year ended 31 December 2020, together with the comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2019:

The total number of trainees who attended our driving training courses for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to 15,046 (year ended 31 December 2019: 15,472), representing a slight decrease of approximately 2.8% comparing to that of the corresponding period in 2019. The total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately RMB68.0 million (year ended 31 December 2019: approximately RMB93.5 million), representing a decrease of approximately 27.3%. The decrease in total revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in the average course fee of our premium course of Small Vehicles and Large Vehicles due to the keen competition followed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to capture the market share and promote business expansion; and (ii) the decrease in the actual number of training hours of our driving course

of Small Vehicles as a result of the suspension of our driving training service of Shun Da School in January 2020 which subsequently resumed in early April 2020. Our provision of driving training services for Large Vehicles remained as our primary source of revenue, accounting for approximately 78.6% of our total revenue (year ended 31 December 2019: 78.9%). Revenue generated from premium courses of Small Vehicles and Large Vehicles contributed to approximately 94.3% of our total revenue (year ended 31 December 2019: 97.4%) and the slight decrease in the percentage of contribution was mainly due to the increase in the number of enrolment of standard course of our Small Vehicles and Large Vehicles for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity for growth. In response to the numerous challenges that we are facing in these unprecedented times, and in order to position ourselves well for the rebound of the PRC economy, we adopted the overall approach of "seeking progress amidst stability" in managing our business and operation.

To consolidate our market position in Zhumadian City, we are determined to continue with the parallel development of driving training business for both Large Vehicles and Small Vehicles, as well as the provision of standard and premium courses for both Large Vehicles and Small Vehicles to cater for the needs of different customers. Throughout the year 2020, we have adopted a robust marketing and pricing strategy by offering strategic discounts on course fees of standard and premium courses for both Large Vehicles and Small Vehicles. We have also established a new subsidiary at Suiping County, which is principally engaged in occupational training services, in July 2020. We intend to designate such subsidiary as a platform for occupational training services to our current and forthcoming driving instructors.

- 15 -

To continue with our strategy of expanding our existing training fields for Large Vehicles and to enhance our business operation capacity, we have continued on our identification exercise on the potential targets of land available for acquisition. In May 2020, we have located a parcel of land suitable for development into a new driving training field (the "Land"). To secure the Land before going through the timely process of acquisition, we have entered into a lease agreement with the lessor of the Land, which is an independent third party to our Group, to rent for the Land. We have also purchased new driving training vehicles for Tong Tai School and improving the learning areas of our driving schools to provide a better experience for trainees enrolled into Driving Skill Written Tests.

Future Development and Prospects

The past year has been an extraordinary one, with the global economy undergoing profound changes under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and PRC becoming one of the few major economies around the globe with positive annual growth.

We believe that the global economy will gradually bottom out and rebound with the steady prevalence of COVID-19 vaccines. We also believe that PRC's economy will recover way ahead of other countries with accelerated development. In particular, the logistics and transportation industry, driven by the dynamic industrial economy of PRC, will become vibrant again. Furthermore, the PRC government relaxed the limit on age of taking driver's license training for Large Vehicles by 10 years at the end of 2020, which is equivalent to increasing the market share of almost 100 million people, and there is no longer an upper age limit for taking driver's license training for Small Vehicles, which is a favourable thing for the driving training industry from the policy level. We expect that our driving training services business will significantly benefit from the increasing demand for drivers of Large Vehicles arising from the steady recovery of the PRC's economy, and from favourable policies implemented by the PRC government.

To maintain sustainable growth of our business and create long-term value to our Shareholders, we intend to continue with our business strategies of expanding our existing training fields for Large Vehicles by acquiring and developing new parcel of land. We will continue to negotiate proactively with the lessor to secure the Land for our future expansion. We also intend to continue purchasing new driving training vehicles in order to increase our business operation capacity. We will also continue to strengthen our market position in Zhumadian City by expanding our marketing efforts in Zhumadian City and other nearby cities in Henan Province, with a focus on potential corporate customers across the PRC. We will also continue to provide Road Safety Written Tests at the learning areas of Tong Tai School to realise the joint tests of both Driving Skill Written Tests and Road Safety Written Tests at our driving schools, in order to improve the passing rate of our trainees on written tests and to provide a more comprehensive training services for our trainees.

Financial Review

  1. Overview
    For the year ended 31 December 2020, we recorded revenue of RMB68.0 million, a 27.3% decrease from RMB93.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. A gross profit of RMB29.8 million and gross profit margin of the Group was 43.8% for the year ended 31 December 2020 as compared with RMB59.4 million and 63.6% for the year ended 31 December 2019, respectively.
    The net profit attributable to owners of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 was RMB6.8 million, representing a significant decrease of RMB12.3 million or a 64.2% decrease from the year ended 31 December 2019. The net profit margin attributable to owners of the Company was 10.0% and 20.4% for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. The adjusted net profit, excluding the impact from listing expenses, attributable to owners of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 was RMB6.8 million, representing a significant decrease of RMB26.9 million or a 79.8% decrease from RMB33.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The adjusted net profit margin, excluding the impact from listing expenses, attributable to owners of the Company was 10.0% and 36.1% for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively.
  2. Revenue
    The total revenue of our Group for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 amounted to approximately RMB68 million and RMB93.5 million, respectively. Our revenue decreased by approximately RMB25.5 million, or approximately 27.3%, for the year ended 31 December 2020 as compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2019. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue generated from the provision of driving training services for both Large Vehicles and Small Vehicles of approximately RMB20.4 million and RMB5.1 million, respectively, mainly due to (i) the significant decrease in the average course fee of our premium course of Small and Large Vehicles due to the keen competition followed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to capture the market share and promote business expansion and (ii) the decrease in the actual number of training hours of our driving course of Small Vehicles as a result of the suspension of our driving training service of Shun Da School in January 2020 which subsequently resumed in early April 2020.
    The revenue generated from the provision of driving training services for Large Vehicles decreased by approximately RMB20.4 million, or approximately 27.6%, to approximately RMB53.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from approximately RMB73.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the average course fee of standard and premium course of Large Vehicles due to the keen competition followed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to capture the market share and

promote business expansion, which offset the growth in both the number of trainees who attended our driving courses of Large Vehicles and the actual number of training hours of our trainees of Large Vehicles from 6,408 and 368,891 for the year ended 31 December 2019 to 6,748 and 374,028, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2020 as a result of the recovery of the market demand of driving training services of Large Vehicles in the second half of 2020 and increase in the number of trainees who are faster to attend our driving training courses.

The revenue generated from the provision of driving training services for Small Vehicles also decreased by approximately RMB5.1 million, or approximately 25.9%, to approximately RMB14.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from approximately RMB19.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in each of the number of trainees who attended our premium courses for Small Vehicles and the actual number of training hours of our trainees of Small Vehicles from 7,987 and 243,180 for the year ended 31 December 2019 to 6,090 and 203,420, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2020. The decreases in both the number of trainees who attended our driving courses and the actual number of training hours were mainly due to (i) the suspension of our driving training services in January 2020 which subsequently resumed in early April 2020 for Shun Da School; and (ii) the decrease in the average course fee of standard and premium course of Small Vehicles due to the keen competition followed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to capture the market share and promote business expansion.

3. Cost of services rendered

For the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, our Group's cost of services rendered amounted to approximately RMB38.2 million and RMB34.1 million, respectively. Our cost of services rendered mainly comprises employee benefit expenses paid to our driving instructors and other supporting staff, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, fuel expenses, catering expenses and other expenses. Our cost of services rendered increased by approximately RMB4.1 million, or approximately 12.1%, from approximately RMB34.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB38.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Employee benefit expenses increased by approximately RMB2.9 million, or approximately 20.5%, from approximately RMB14.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB17.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 which was mainly attributable to the increased average salaries paid to our driving instructors of Large Vehicles and the increase in the number of driving instructors of Large Vehicles in the second half of 2020 as a result of the increase in the number of trainees who are faster to attend our driving training of our Large Vehicles and the fact that our Group still need to pay the fixed salaries to our driving instructors and other supporting staff to maintain the operation despite our driving training

- 18 -

services were temporarily suspended in January 2020, as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020. Our depreciation of property, plant and equipment slightly increased by approximately RMB1.0 million, or approximately 12.5% from approximately RMB8.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB9.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, which was mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation charges for the new driving training vehicles, depreciation charges for the dormitory building and the depreciation charges of right-of-use assets for the new parcel of leased land for our expansion of training field and its leasehold improvement.

4. Gross profit and gross profit margin

Our gross profit from the provision of driving training services for Large Vehicles decreased by approximately RMB23.5 million, or approximately 47.5%, from approximately RMB49.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB26.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, which is in line with the decrease in the revenue generated from the driving training services for Large Vehicles. Consequently, our gross profit margin from the provision of driving training services for Large Vehicles decreased by approximately 18.3% to approximately 48.7% for the year ended 31 December 2020 from approximately 67.0% for the year ended 31 December 2019, which is mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in our average course fee of our standard and premium course of Large Vehicles which contributed a large portion of revenue; (ii) the increased average salaries paid to our driving instructors of Large Vehicles; and (iii) the increase in number of driving instructors of Large Vehicles in the second half of 2020 as a result of the increase in the number of trainees who are faster to attend our driving training of our Large Vehicles and the fact that our Group still need to pay the fixed salaries to our driving instructors and other supporting staff to maintain the operation despite our driving training services of Large Vehicles were temporarily suspended in January 2020.

As a result of the decrease in our revenue from the provision of driving training services for Small Vehicles, which was primarily attributable to (i) the decrease in total number of trainees attended our premium courses for Small Vehicles and the decrease in actual number of training hours of our trainees of Small Vehicles as a result of the suspension of our driving training service; and (ii) the significant decrease in our course fee of Small Vehicles due to the keen competition followed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to capture the market share and promote business expansion, our gross profit for the provision of driving training services for Small Vehicles decreased by approximately RMB6.1 million, or approximately 61.6%, from approximately RMB9.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB3.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The Group's bank balances and cash decreased from approximately RMB190.8 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB167.6 million as at 31 December 2020 which was mainly attributable to the decrease in operating cash flows and cash used in the investing activities.
