With the gradual effectiveness of the central and local policies, such as multiple decrease in interest rate, supportive policies on both the supply and demand sides as well as the implementation of major plans and renewed confidence from home buyers, resulting in active investment in the market arising from the pre-accumulated market demand, and thus the market gradually recovered. At the same time, the Group seized the opportunities of the sales window and stepped up the promotion efforts with innovative marketing model. Thanks to the efforts by all of our employees, the amount of contracted sales of the Group was approximately RMB31,318 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 20%.

In terms of the macro-economy in the coming year, the real estate market will also benefit from the stable financial environment. The reduction of financing costs of property developers and the reduction of costs of home ownership are conducive to the recovery and development of the market. In terms of policy, the regulation and control of the real estate market will adhere to the position of "housing without speculation". Although there is adjustment pressure to the national real estate market size, there is still room for the demand suppressed during the short-term epidemic, the demand for investment value preservation driven by the improvement of credit environment, and the demand for improvement driven by the epidemic. The Group will seize the opportunities of the sales window, implement a strategy of "high turnover", and maintain enthusiasm for construction. Facing the uncertainty of the epidemic and economic development, the current situation of real estate products and services, and the trend of demand for home in the post-epidemic era, we will focus on collections ofsales proceeds and reach our sales targets, and, at the same time, increase our effort on exploration of gaining foothold in cities with potential and product innovation, so as to better enhance the quality of our products, as well as to achieve sustainable and stable quality growth.

The real estate market in the Yangtze River Delta region has recovered quickly during the epidemic period. In coming year, with the backing of the Yangtze River Delta cities that we have deeply rooted for years, the Group will continue to actively expand in Anhui, South China, Midwest China and other regional hotspots, to achieve national layout. We will make full use of the listing on the Stock Exchange as a platform to achieve diversified financing channels and promote the business development of the Group to reward all of the Shareholders.

Revenue

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group recorded a total revenue of approximately RMB4,171 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 111%. The increase was primarily attributable to the significant growth in recognised sales of properties, driven by an increase in the Group's property projects delivered during the year.

Cost of sales

The cost of sales of the Group represents the costs incurred directly for sale of properties, which comprised construction costs, land costs and capitalised interest.

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the cost of sales of the Group was approximately RMB2,654 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 134%.

Gross profit

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the gross profit of the Group was approximately RMB1,517 million, representing a significant year-on-year increase of approximately 80%. The changes in gross profit margin was primarily affected by the selling prices, the construction costs and land costs of our properties for which control of such was transferred. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group recorded a gross profit margin of approximately 36%, as compared to approximately 43% in 2019. The decrease in the gross profit margin was mainly due to the higher land costs of the properties sold during the current year. Despite the above, the gross profit margin remained at a relatively high level as compared to the peers. The relatively high gross profit margin was contributed by the relatively low land costs of properties delivered during the periods, as they were developed on lands acquired in earlier years prior to the price hike of average land costs in the PRC.

Other income

The Group had other income of approximately RMB26 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, as compared to approximately RMB77 million for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Net finance costs of the Group increased by approximately 19% year-on-year from approximately RMB70 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB83 million for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Share of results of joint ventures and associates increased from approximately RMB359 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to a profit of approximately RMB403 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from sales of properties of the joint ventures and associates as more projects were completed and delivered during the year by the joint ventures and associates of the Group.

Income tax expenses

Our income tax expenses increased by 30% from RMB294 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to RMB382 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, which was primarily attributable to the increase in the Group's revenue recognised for the year ended 31 December 2020. The effective tax rates, excluding the share of results of joint ventures and associates, were 62% and 73% for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.

Liquidity and financial resources

The Group has always pursued a prudent treasury management policy and actively manages its liquidity position with sufficient standby banking facilities to cope with daily operation and demands for capital for future development.

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group had financed its working capital, capital expenditure and other capital requirements primarily through (i) listing proceed and proceed from issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes; (ii) cash generated from operations, including proceeds from the pre-sale and sales of our properties; and (iii) bank loans, trust financing, advances from non-controlling interests and other financings.

As of 31 December 2020, the Group had a total cash (including restricted cash, pledged time deposits and cash and cash equivalents) of approximately RMB6,797 million as compared to approximately RMB2,513 million as of 31 December 2019. The increase was primarily due to the increase in proceeds from sales of properties. Substantially all of the Group's cash and cash equivalents are denominated in RMB.

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the aggregate new borrowings from bank and other trust financing arrangement obtained by the Group amounted to approximately RMB8,525 million, proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes was approximately RMB987 million and repayment of borrowings from bank and trust financing arrangement was approximately RMB3,724 million. As of 31 December 2020, the Group's total bank and other borrowings amounted to approximately RMB8,642 million, representing an increase of approximately 203% compared to approximately RMB2,853 million as of 31 December 2019.

Senior notes

In December 2020, the Company issued the 2021 Senior Notes with a principal amount of US$150 million due in December 2021, which were listed on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited in December 2020. The 2021 Senior Notes, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 13.5% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears.

The issuance of the abovementioned senior notes was for the purpose of refinancing general working capital of the Group.

Key financial ratios

As of 31 December 2020, the Group's net gearing ratio (calculated as the total borrowings net of restricted cash, pledged time deposits and cash and cash equivalents divided by total equity) was 41%, an increase of 20 percentage points as compared with 21% as of 31 December 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in total borrowings balance as of 31 December 2020 to finance the Group's expansion. The outbreaks of COVID-19 had caused a delay of the pre-sale, expected completion date and delivery of certain of the Group's property projects during the year. The Group will continue to manage working capital efficiently through working capital management policies and continue to utilise the Group's available financial resources, including proceeds from sales and pre-sales of property projects, draw down of banking facilities and other borrowings and optimise the payment schedule to contractors through negotiation based on the latest construction progress.

The Group's current ratio is calculated based on its total current assets divided by its total current liabilities as of the respective dates. The Group's current ratio had increased from approximately 1.10 times as of 31 December 2019 to approximately 1.13 times as of 31 December 2020. The current ratio remained stable as of 31 December 2020 and 2019.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group mainly operates its business in China. Other than the 2021 Senior Notes which are denominated in US$, the Group did not have any other material direct exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Directors expect that any fluctuation of RMB's exchange rate will not have any material adverse effect on the operation of the Group.

As of 31 December 2020, the Group has not entered into any hedging transactions. The Group manages its foreign exchange risk by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rates and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Except for the 2021 Senior Notes which the interest rate is fixed, most of the Group's borrowings are denominated in RMB and their interest rates on the Group's borrowings are primarily affected by the benchmark interest rates set by the People's Bank of China. The Group manages its interest rate risk by closely monitoring the trend of interest rate fluctuation and its impact on the Group's interest rate risk exposure, as well as regulating the debt portfolio of the Group.

SUFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC FLOAT

According to the information that is publicly available to the Company and within the knowledge of the Board, as at the date of this announcement, the Company has maintained the public float as required under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules").

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company recognizes the importance of good corporate governance for enhancing the management of the Company as well as preserving the interests of its Shareholders as a whole. The Company has adopted the code provisions as set out in the Corporate Governance Code of the Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules (the "CG Code"), as its own code to govern its corporate governance practices since the Listing Date. Save for the deviation in relation to the chairman of the Board and chief executive officer being the same individual, the Board considers that, the Company has complied, to the extent applicable and permissible, the CG Code from Listing Date to 31 December 2020.

Pursuant to paragraph A.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr.

Lui Ming is currently the Chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Group, responsible for strategic planning and managing of the Group's overall business and operations. Mr. Lui Ming has been responsible for the overall management of the Group since the establishment of the Group. The Board believes that the current structure enables the Group to make and implement business decision swiftly and effectively which promotes the Group's development in line with other strategies and business direction. The Board considers that the balance of power and authority, accountability and independent decision making under the present arrangement will not be impaired because of the diverse background and experience of the non-executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors. Further, the audit committee of the Company, which consists a majority of independent non-executive Directors, has free and direct access to the Company's external auditors and independent professional advisers when it considers necessary. Therefore, the Directors consider that the deviation from paragraph A.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstance.

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Since the Listing Date, the Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules (the "Model Code") as its own code of conduct regarding dealings in the securities of the Company by the Directors and the Group's senior management who, because of his/her office or employment, is likely to possess inside information in relation to the Company or its securities. Upon specific enquiry, all Directors confirmed that they have complied with the Model Code for the period from the Listing Date to 31 December 2020. In addition, the Company is not aware of any non-compliance of the Model Code by the senior management of the Group for the period from the Listing Date to 31 December 2020.
