Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime, the first HK$2 million of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded net loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$1.83 million (30 June 2019: Profit of HK$1.85 million). The Group's net loss is mainly attributable to the decrease of approximately 73.54% in revenue from hotel operations for the period ended 30 June 2020 as compared to the revenue from hotel of approximately HK$15.76 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
The turnover of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately HK$7.61 million, representing a decrease of approximately 59% from approximately HK$19.34 million in the corresponding period of previous year. The increase is mainly due to the reduce in business volume of star-rated hotel operation during the period under review.
Given our good balance sheet status and cash generation ability, our financial position continues to be strong. As at 30 June 2020, the gearing ratio (divided non-current liabilities by equity plus non-current liabilities multiple by 100 which results in percentage) of the Group was 1.0% (31 December 2019: 1.2%).
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Star-ratedhotel operation
Since 2018, the hotel has introduced new management model by carrying out professional manager system reform, successfully restored the title of four-star by passing verification and was also awarded the honor of ''the Top 100 Conference Hotel of China''.
Star-rated hotel operation is the main source of revenue for the Group. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the turnover of the hotel operation was approximately HK$4.71 million (30 June 2019: HK$15.76 million), representing a decrease of approximately 73.54% from the corresponding period of last year. The decrease mentioned above is mainly attributable to the significant decrease in number of tourists in Mainland China brought by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the financial year of 2020.
For the period under review, the average occupancy rate was approximately 16% (2019: 78%), representing a decrease of 79.5% over the corresponding period of last year. Average daily rate (ADR) was approximately RMB298 (30 June 2019: RMB316) representing a decrease of 5.7% over the corresponding period of last year.

Accommodation revenue
The accommodation revenue was mainly determined by the number of available rooms, occupancy rate and ADR of the Group's hotel. During the period under review, the accommodation revenue of star-rated hotel was approximately HK$2.08 million, representing a decrease of approximately 79% over the corresponding period of 2019.
Catering revenue
Since 2015, the Group has made a major effort to develop the catering business through the hotel. During the period under review, catering revenue of approximately HK$1.38 million representing approximately 33% of the hotel operation's turnover.
The rising cost of operating environment and hit by the COVID-19 remain the key challenge for the hotel industry. To overcome these adversities, the Group will continue to implement tight cost control measures and seek further improvement in operational efficiency to minimise the adverse impacts.
Improved customer services and better hotel facilities are core competitive advantages to seize the growth opportunity in local tourism and restaurant industries. The Board believes that the hotel business in Xiamen will contribute positively to the Group. Meanwhile, the hotel is taking measures to deal with the epidemic situation, practising skills, diversifying our operations and enhancing sales force regarding wedding banquet, catering and related services as well.
Looking forward, hospitality business is gradually resuming full operations as mainland has entered the phase of regular epidemic prevention and central.

Rental revenue
In order to stabilise the income of the hotel operation, the hotel leased out the shopping centre in the Group's hotel. This contributed to approximately HK$0.46 million in rental revenue during the six months under review, representing approximately 11% of the hotel operation's turnover.
Hong Kong properties held by the Group
As at 30 June 2020, all properties in Hong Kong held by the Group were 100% rented out, which brought a steady rental income to the Group.
During the period under review, the rental income of the properties in Hong Kong was approximately HK$3.44 million, compared to last year representing a decrease of approximately 4%. The decrease is mainly due to relief provided to tenants on a case-by-case basis. The Group recorded approximately HK$3.58 million in rental income of properties in Hong Kong for the corresponding period of last year.
Piano Manufacturing
The Group diversified its business into piano manufacturing by acquiring a 25% equity interest in Fuzhou Harmony Piano Co. Ltd. (''Harmony Piano'') in 2005. This business interest has brought a steady profit to the Group for the past few years. However, the Group recorded a share of profit from its interest in Harmony Piano approximately HK$0.74 million for the period under review (2019: profit of approximately HK$0.09 million).
Finance Leasing
For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the interest in associate contributed approximately HK$3.52 million profit for the period (30 June 2019: profit of approximately HK$1.7 million).
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Looking forward into 2020, the Group will adhere to the corporate strategy using investment management and operation management as a core method for achieving continuous value-based growth. On the one hand, the Group will continue its searches for assets with healthy profitability and excellent growth potential as long-term investment through investment management. On the other hand, it will establish a group-levelmulti-dimensionaloperation-supporting system covering among others, brand operation, management information, human resources and supply chain to advance operation efficiency, lower costs and enhance brand influence.
In the second half of the year, the Company will considering venturing into international trade business areas to broaden its source of revenue, thereby creating greater value for its shareholders.
The near-term economic performance is facing notable downward pressure from COVID-19. However, economic fundamentals of the Mainland are solid and it is expected to have adequate policy tools to maintain macro-economic stability. Once the epidemic is over, the economy of Mainland China will
- 18 -
keep growing. The increase of disposable income per capita, the rise of urbanisation level and the accelerating pace of life remain the base driving forces behind the long-term and constant growth of China's hotel industry.
The Group will strive to seize the opportunity presented by the reform of state-owned assets, give full play to the strengths of FTDC as ''Top 20 advantage Tourism Group in China'' and actively seek new breakthroughs in the field of tourism-related and other business areas. Furthermore, the Group will also accelerate the reform in the area of institutional mechanisms, promote the effective integration of the group resources by the combination of industry and capital, and integrate the industry chains of hotel, tourism and other businesses. Meanwhile, we will expand into industries such as finance, high technology, intelligent technology, international trade, etc. to achieve diversification of our income source, so as to further increase our overall asset return and enterprise value.

The Group's funding and treasury policies are designed to maintain a diversified and balanced debt profile and financing structure.

Exposure to fluctuation in exchange rate and related hedges
There has been no significant change in the Group's policy in terms of exchange rate exposure. The Group operates mainly in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Most of the transactions and cash and cash equivalents are denominated in Hong Kong dollars (''HK$'') and in Renminbi (''RMB''). The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the exchange rate fluctuation of RMB against HK$. Moderate fluctuation of RMB against HK$ was expected. The Group considered the foreign currency risk exposure is acceptable. However, management of the Group will monitor foreign exposure closely and consider the use of hedging instruments when necessary.
As most of the Company's business operations are located in Hong Kong and Mainland China, the Company faces foreign currency risks due to exchange gain/loss from exchange rate fluctuations as well as currency conversion risk due to converted net asset value fluctuations of investment projects in Mainland China. To effectively manage foreign currency risk, the Company closely monitors foreign exchange markets, and utilises multiple strategic approaches, such as optimising cash management strategy and project finance instruments, to manage foreign exchange risk.
The funding and treasury policies of existing subsidiaries of the Group are centrally managed and controlled by the Group's senior management in Hong Kong.
