    The preparation of the interim financial report in conformity with HKAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis.

Risks faced by the Group

During the Reporting Period, the Group is also faced with the following industry-related risks and uncertainties which may have significant impact on our financial performance and future business development:

  • Price control in the PRC. Our products' prices are subject to price control in the PRC, by which the government agencies and hospital set a price limit for each product and may have significant impact on our operations of business and financial performance.
  • Healthcare Reform in the PRC. Pursuant to the Notice of "Publishing Opinions on
    Implementing 'Two-Invoice System' in Drug Procurement Among Public Medical Institutions (For Trial Implementation)" (《印發<關於在公立醫療機構藥品採購中推 行「兩票制」的實施意見(試行)>的通知》) issued on December 26, 2016 and the Notice on Consolidating the Results in Eliminating the Mechanism of Replenishing Medical
    Costs with Drug Selling Profits and Further Deepening the Comprehensive Reform of Public Hospitals (《關於鞏固破除以藥補醫成果持續深化公立醫院綜合改革的通知》) issued on March 5, 2018, a "two-invoice"system is implemented to limit the distribution of pharmaceutical products to a single level of distributors for sale to public hospitals. The two-invoicesystem requires one invoice to be issued from pharmaceutical manufacturers to pharmaceutical distributors and the other invoice to be issued from pharmaceutical distributors to medical institutions, which has the effect of centralizing the procurement and sale of high value medical consumables, and may have certain impacts on our business operations and business performance. While some provinces in China have extended the two-invoicesystem to medical devices, the healthcare reform is still in progress and the influence of the two-invoicesystems on our financial performance and future business development remains uncertain.

The Group will continue to closely monitor and actively adapt to the regulatory policies in the industry, in order to reduce impacts of regulatory changes to our financial performance and future business development to the extent possible.

OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2020

The outbreak of the COVID-19("COVID-19") since the beginning of 2020 is a challenging situation faced by the society on a global basis. As a result, the Group's main business performance in the first half year, the progress of use of proceeds from the global offering of the Company (the "Global Offering") and the progress of research and development pipeline are therefore affected to some extent. Although the global spread of COVID-19 has not yet been effectively contained, the production and life order in the PRC has been gradually restored. In the second half of 2020, we will (1) fully leverage on its brand recognition and sales distribution network to further expand its market shares, and strength and maintain our leading position in the interventional medical devices industry; and (2) further development the product pipeline, allocating more resources for research and development, further progress on the research and development, core product pipeline and obtaining approvals for new products.
