Accounting Impact on the Connected Lease-Right-of-use Assets Cap

The Group first adopted HKFRS 16 - "Leases" as at 1 January 2019, which forms part of the financial reporting standards applicable to the Group. Based on HKFRS 16, which is the latest applicable financial reporting standard, the Group as tenant shall recognise the lease under the Lease Agreement (Sintai)(2022) as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Accordingly, the lease transaction under the Lease Agreement (Sintai)(2022) would be regarded as acquisition of asset by the tenant and is one-off in nature for the purpose of the Listing Rules. The total rent payable under the Lease Agreement (Sintai)(2022) is RMB23.026 million (tax excluded) (equivalent to approximately US$3.551 million (on the date of this announcement)) while the aggregate value of the right-of-use assets to be recognised on its statement of financial position in connection with Lease Agreement (Sintai)(2022) is estimated to be RMB21.42 million (equivalent to approximately US$3.303 million (on the date of this announcement)). The estimated right-of-use assets are determined by considering:

  • (a) the maximum leased area and the rental per square meter; and

  • (b) the value of the Group's right-of-use of the underlying leased assets during the lease term is initially measured on a present value basis and calculated by discounting the non-cancellable lease payment of the relevant connected lease using the incremental borrowing rate as discount rate.

  • 1. The annual caps for the transactions under Lease Agreement (Guang Tong)(2019) are denominated in US$. The applicable exchange rate is the median rate of US$ against Renminbi published by the China Foreign Exchange Trading System as authorised by the People's Bank of China on 23 March 2018, which is 1:6.3272. As such, the equivalent amount of US$301,000 is approximately RMB1,904,487.

  • 2. The rental fee was paid to Dongguan Yorkey in Renminbi and was recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions.

  • 3. The utilisation rate for the two months ended 28 February 2021 is calculated on annualised basis.

The rate of the rental fee receivable by Dongguan Yorkey under the Lease Agreement (Guang Tong)(2022) are determined by reference to (i) rental fee per square metre for the use reached after arm's length negotiation; and (ii) the previous rental payment made to the Group under the Lease Agreement (Guang Tong)(2019). Accordingly, the annual maximum rental fee receivable by Dongguan Yorkey, i.e. the proposed annual caps for the transactions, under the Lease Agreement (Guang Tong)(2022) is RMB1,856,000 (equivalent to approximately US$286,000 (on the date of this announcement)) for each of the years ending 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024. The maximum annual rental fee receivable by Dongguan Yorkey under the Lease Agreement (Guang Tong)(2022) is a genuine and reasonable estimate by the Board based on information currently available.

In view of (i) the payment will be received by Dongguan Yorkey; and (ii) the potential fluctuation in the exchange rate of US$ against Renminbi, the maximum transaction amount under Lease Agreement (Guang Tong) (2022) will be calculated in Renminbi.
