6M-Sep2021 Key Financial Highlights - Profit and Loss

1) Severe disruptions

6M-Sep2021 included periods of extraordinary disruption in Myanmar. Extended holidays were announced after the Myanmar New Year in April, whilst a severe third wave of COVID-19 occurred during July and August with significant fatalities and most households affected.

2) Signs of recovery

The third wave of COVID-19 severely impacted Myanmar along with continued uncertainty in the operating environment. However, the Group's businesses, in particular Real Estate, F&B and Wave Money have begun to recover.

  1. Financial management and balance sheet stability continue to be the Group's main priorities

Stringent financial management measures, including the strict controls on fixed overheads, remain in place. The Group continues to work with its counterparties to maintain balance sheet flexibility and a stable liquidity position.

Other gains

1 The operator fee income revenue, which is based on a 70% share of the profit of HRGCCL, the owner of Pun Hlaing Golf and Country Club, includes an annual valuation exercise in HRGCCL's 6M-Sept2021's income statement.

2 Currency effects from the consolidation of the Group's subsidiaries with different foreign currencies (which includes the translation of non-monetary assets, such as investment properties, into the Group's reporting currency) is reflected in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and affects the currency translation reserves in balance sheet equity. The effect of the strengthening of USD against MMK would result in a countervailing OCI loss during this consolidation exercise which has a negative impact on the value of the net assets of the Group.
