BASIS OF PREPARATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKASs") and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountant ("HKICPA"), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the

"Stock Exchange").

Changes in accounting policies

The HKICPA has issued a number of amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group as follows:

• • Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8, Definition of Material

• • Amendments to HKFRS 3, Definition of a Business

• • Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39, HKFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period, except for the amendment to HKFRS 16, Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions which provides a practical expedient that allows a lessee to by-pass the need to evaluate whether certain qualifying rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19-related rent concessions") are lease modifications and, instead, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications.

The directors of the Company do not anticipate that the adoption of the amended HKFRSs will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the current and prior periods and the related disclosures.

REVENUE

Revenue represents the amounts received and receivable for goods sold, consultancy fee income loan interest income and handling fee income from money lending business, finance lease income from leasing business and rental income from property investment during the year, net of discounts and related value added tax or other taxes, and is analysed as follows:

2020	2019

- Consultancy fee income	-	11,963

Loan handling fee income	680	3,250
19,631	20,919
2,995,163	1,466,328

The Group will recognise the expected revenue from property investment and finance leases in future when or as the service is provided to the customers (see Note 10 and Note 12), which is expected to occur over the next 12 to 48 months (2019: next 12 to 48 months).

For this subsidiary, the first HKD2 million of assessable profits are taxed at 8.25% and the remaining assessable profits are taxed at 16.5%. The provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax for this subsidiary was calculated at the same basis in 2019.

The provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax for 2020 takes into account a reduction granted by the Hong Kong SAR Government of 100% of the tax payable for the year of assessment 2019/20 subject to a maximum reduction of HKD20,000 for each business (2019: a maximum reduction of HKD20,000 was granted for the year of assessment 2018/19 and was taken into account in calculating the provision for 2019).

Under the Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the "EIT Law") and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25% for both years.

(a)Fair value measurement of the Group's investment properties

The fair value of the Group's investment properties is measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13, Fair value measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in valuation technique as follows:

• - Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

• - Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs.

  Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.

• - Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the Group's investment properties at 31 December 2020 has been arrived at on the basis of valuation by ଉέ̹਷͍ڦ༟ପ൙ПɺήגήପПᄆϞࠢʮ̡, an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group. A valuation report with analysis of changes in fair value measurement has been prepared by the valuer and is reviewed and approved by management.

The fair value of the Group's investment properties situated in the PRC is determined using direct comparison approach by reference to recent sales price of comparable properties on a price per square foot basis, adjusted for a discount specific to the quality and location of the properties compared to the recent sales, and are therefore grouped into Level 3 of fair value measurement.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfer into or out of Level 3 for both reporting periods. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Below is an analysis of the Group's key financial information including but not limited to revenue, expenses and profit for the year, which reflects the financial position of the Group's business.

Revenue

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group recorded a total revenue of HKD2,995.2 million, representing an increase of 104.3% as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2019 of HKD1,466.3 million. Such increase was mainly attributable to the revenue generated in the Supply Chain Business of HKD2,975.5 million as compared with HKD1,445.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The total revenue from Money Lending Business, Securities Investment, Leasing Business, and Property Investment amounted to approximately HKD19.6 million as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2019 of HKD20.9 million.

Expenses

The Group's direct costs and operating expenses significantly increased by HKD1,511.5 million from HKD1,411.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to HKD2,923.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase in direct costs and operating expenses was mainly due to the significant growth in the Supply Chain Business whereas revenue from the Supply Chain Business accounted for 99.3% of the Group's total revenue.

The Group's administrative expenses increased by HKD11.4 million from HKD26.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to HKD38.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 mainly due to the increase in staff cost.

The Group's finance cost increased by HKD23.2 million from HKD13.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to HKD37.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase in finance cost was mainly due to the rising of interest expense for bank borrowings and unlisted bonds for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Profit for the year

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group recorded a net profit of approximately HKD21.3 million as compared to a net profit of approximately HKD54.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. Such decrease of net profit was mainly due to (i) the absence of a one-off gain arising from the disposal of the discontinued operation of HKD23.0 million in the current year, (ii) the absence of the share of profit of an associate of HKD7.9 million in the current year and (iii) the increase in profit from operations being set-off by the increase in finance cost.

Trade and other receivables

The significant increase in trade and other receivables of HKD442.9 million was primarily due to the increase in trade receivables of HKD351.5 million in relation to the development of the Supply Chain Business and different credit period was given to customers during the year. In addition, there was an increase in other receivables of HKD49.1 million represented the growth in the supply chain financing arrangements; and in the deposits and prepayments amounting to HKD54.7 million was mainly the prepayment paid to the suppliers in Supply Chain Business. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over our outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by the management, which performs assessment of recoverability on a case-by-case basis.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

As at 31 December 2020, the Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss significantly increased by HKD273.8 million from HKD0.2 million as at 31 December 2019 to HKD274.0 million. Such increase was mainly due to the subscription of structured deposits in the amount of RMB225.0 million (equivalent to HKD268.2 million) in the current year.

Trade and bills payables

As at 31 December 2020, the Group's trade and bills payable significantly increased by HKD479.6 million from HKD65.3 million as at 31 December 2019 to HKD544.9 million. Such increase was in line with the development of the Supply Chain Business in the current year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at 31 December 2020, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group were HKD118.6 million (2019: HKD105.0 million) and interest-bearing borrowings, including the unlisted bonds, borrowings and lease liabilities were HKD665.8 million (2019: HKD461.6 million). The following table details the cash and cash equivalents, the bonds, the borrowings and the lease liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2020 denominated in original currencies:

As 31 December 2019

The Group principally satisfies its demand for operating capital with cash inflow from its operations, unlisted bond issuance and borrowings. As at 31 December 2020, the gearing ratio, which is calculated on the basis of total debts (including interest-bearing bonds, borrowings and lease liabilities) over total shareholders' fund of the Group, was 125.4% (2019: 93.4%). The gearing ratio rises in comparison to previous year mainly due to the increase of borrowings. The liquidity ratio, which represents a ratio of current assets over current liabilities, to reflect the adequacy of the financial resources, was 1.04 (2019: 1.01).

The liquidity ratio is stable in comparison to that as at 31 December 2019.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had no material contingent liabilities (2019: nil).

FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND INTEREST RATE RISKS MANAGEMENT

The Group adopts strict and cautious policies in managing its exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The principal foreign currency exchange risk stems from the exchange rate movements of the Hong Kong dollar, which is pegged to the United States dollar, and Renminbi. The sales of the Group and purchases of raw materials are mainly denominated in Renminbi. While the Group's operations in the PRC, the location of its production, are primarily conducted in Renminbi, its Hong Kong operations are conducted in Hong Kong dollar. The management will closely monitor such risk and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

The interest rate risk arises from bonds and borrowings, which, being obtained at variable rates and at fixed rates, expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively. The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis and considers managing this risk in a cost-effective manner when appropriate, through a variety of means.

PLEDGES ON GROUP ASSETS

As at 31 December 2020, the investment properties of the Group located in Yunfu, PRC with net carrying amount of HKD221.4 million (2019: HKD191.1 million) were pledged to secure bank loans and facilities of the Group.

The property and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of the Group with carrying amounts of HKD67.4 million (2019: nil) and HKD11.0 million (2019: nil) respectively were pledged to a third party to secure for parts of other borrowings.

The structured deposits and pledged bank deposits of the Group entered with financial institutions during the year with carrying amount of HKD273.9 million (2019: nil) and HKD47.7 million (2019: nil) respectively were pledged as guarantee deposits for bills payables to suppliers of the Group.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company has applied the principles of, and complied with, the applicable code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, except for the following deviations:

Under code provision A.2.1, the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr. Wang Jian ("Mr. Wang") served as both the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Wang has extensive experience in the construction and engineering industry and is responsible for the overall corporate strategies, planning and business development of the Group. Accordingly, the Board believes that this structure has the advantage of a strong and consistent leadership which is conducive to making and implementing decision efficiently and consistently, and the balance of power and authority is adequately ensured by the operation of the Board which comprises experienced and high caliber individuals, with the majority of the members of the Board being non-executive directors (including independent non-executive Directors).

Under code provision A.4.1, non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term and are subject to re-election. Mr. Law Fei Shing ("Mr. Law"), who is a non-executive Director, was not appointed for a specific term but is subject to retirement by rotation and reelection at annual general meeting at least once every three years in accordance with the Bye-laws of the Company. When Mr. Law is due for re-election, the nomination committee of the Company and the Board will review his performance and consider whether a recommendation should be made to the shareholders of the Company on his re-election at the annual general meeting in accordance with the Company's policy on selection and nomination of Directors. As such, the Board is of the view that sufficient safeguards are in place to ensure that Mr. Law will remain suitable for directorship of the Company.

Under code provision A.6.7, independent non-executive directors and other non-executive directors should attend general meetings. Mr. Chan Kin Sang and Mr. Zheng Suijun, being independent non-executive Directors, were unable to attend the annual general meeting of the Company held on 21 June 2020 (the "2020 AGM") due to other pre-arranged business commitments and the circumstance under the COVID-19 outbreak, respectively.

Under code provision E.1.2, the chairman of the board should attend the annual general meeting. Mr. Wang was unable to attend the 2020 AGM due to the circumstance under the COVID-19 outbreak.
