NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the six months ended 30 June 2019
(Expressed in Renminbi thousands unless otherwise indicated)
-
GENERAL INFORMATION
Hailan Holdings Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 31 August 2015 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Company Law Chapter 22, (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Company's shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"). The address of registered office of the Company is PO Box 1350, Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, the Cayman Islands. The principal place of business of the Company in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and Hong Kong are 2/F, No. 1 Building Hampton by Hilton, No. 169 Yu Lin Road, Tianya District, Sanya, the Hainan Province, the PRC and Room 2212, 22/F, The Center, 99 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong respectively.
The Company is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in investment holding, property development, sale and rental of developed properties. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Group". - BASIS OF PREPARATION
This interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2019 has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange, including compliance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").
The preparation of this interim condensed consolidated financial information in conformity with HKAS 34 requires management to make judgments, 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
This interim condensed consolidated financial information contains interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2018 annual consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial information and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
- 8 -
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 have been applied consistently to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of the following new/revised HKFRSs that are effective from 1 January 2019.
The Group has applied, for the first time, the following new/revised HKFRSs that are relevant to the Group:
Annual Improvements to HKFRSs | 2015-2017 Cycle |
HKFRS 16 | Leases |
HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 | Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments |
Amendments to HKAS 19 | Employee benefits |
Amendments to HKAS 28 | Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures |
Amendments to HKFRS 9 | Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation |
Except for HKFRS 16 as described below, the adoption of the above new/revised HKFRSs does not have any significant impacts on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
HKFRS 16 "Leases"
HKFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying lease asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets (such as property, plant and equipment) and lease liabilities similarly to other financial liabilities. As a consequence, a lessee recognises depreciation (and, if applicable, impairment loss) of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows applying HKAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements of the superseded HKAS 17 Leases. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
The Group has reviewed the impact of HKFRS 16 on all its contracts that are, or that contain, leases with effect from 1 January 2019. Based on the practical expedients under HKFRS 16, the Group has elected not to apply the requirements of HKFRS 16 in respect of recognition of lease liability and right-of-use asset to leases for which the lease term ends within twelve months of the date of initial application.
The reconciliation of operating lease commitments to lease liabilities is set out below: | ||

4.2. Segment Reporting Business segments
In accordance with the Group's internal financial reporting system, the Group has chosen business segment information as the reporting format for the purposes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
No geographical segment information is separately presented as the Group's business segments are mainly managed and operated in the Hainan Province of the PRC. The major market of the Group's business segments is the Hainan Province of the PRC.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on the line of reporting, and has two reportable operating segments as follows:
I. Development projects (excluded Danzhou Phase I but including Danzhou Phase II)
All the Group's development projects refer to the development and sales of residential property units conducted in Hainan Province.
-
Danzhou Phase I
Danzhou Phase I project ("Danzhou Phase I") refers to the development and sales of residential property units under phase I developed by Danzhou Shuang Lian Property Development Company Limited ("Danzhou Shuang Lian") in Hainan Province, the PRC.
The executive directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision makers, monitor the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
Segment results, assets and liabilities
Segment assets and liabilities include all assets and liabilities of the Group, which are managed directly by the segments.
Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.
The measure used for reporting segment (loss) profit is "adjusted EBIT" i.e. "adjusted earnings before interest and taxes", where "interest" is regarded as including investment income. To arrive at adjusted EBIT the Group's earning are further adjusted for items not specifically attributed to individual segments.

- SEASONABILITY OF OPERATION
The Group's results of operations tend to fluctuate from period to period. The number of properties that the Group develops, completes or delivers during any particular period is limited due to the substantial amount of capital required for land/project acquisition, preparation and resettlement in advance of actual development because of the lengthy development cycle during which the development itself takes place. Seasonal variations have, in addition, caused significant fluctuations in pre-sales and sales.
As the result of these and other factors, the Group's cash flow, revenue, and profit will fluctuate from period to period and the results of operations for any interim period may not be indicative of the Group's actual annual results or results of the Group's development projects. - FINANCE INCOME, NET

Haikou Phoenix Aqua City Phase II
On 17 January 2018, a subsidiary of the Company, Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long Properties Development Limited ("Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long") received a decision from Haikou People's Government in relation to its confiscating of the state-owned construction land use right of a parcel of land owned by Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long located to the north of Bin Hai Xi Lu in Haikou, with a total site area of approximately 88,209.07 square meters (the land certificate number being Hai Kou Shi Guo Yong (2008) No. 001431) (Haikou Phoenix Aqua City Phase II (the "Phase II")) (the "Haikou Decision") for the reason that the land parcel has not been developed and constructed on schedule.
On 15 June 2018, the Group has formally instituted an application of administrative proceeding on the Haikou Decision to the Intermediate People's Court of Haikou City ("Haikou Court"). On 28 December 2018, Haikou Court issued its administrative judgment (the "Haikou Administrative Judgment") on the administrative proceeding in relation to Phase II. Haikou Court ruled that the Group succeeded in its administrative proceeding against Haikou People's Government and dismissed the Haikou Decision in relation to the recovery of the land use right of Haikou project without compensation by the Haikou People's Government for the reasons that Haikou Decision was made without sufficient evidence and was not applied with the applicable laws. On 13 February 2019, Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long received an appeal notice (the "Appeal Notice") from Higher People's Court of Hainan Province that the Haikou People's Government has made an application to appeal against the Haikou Administrative Judgment. On 4 March 2019, Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long filed a defence in respect of the Appeal Notice to the Haikou Court.
The directors of the Company consider that the Group, after consulted the Group's external counsels, has reasonable grounds to justify that the Haikou Administrative Judgment is still valid and has a view of that it is not more likely than not that a present obligation to surrender the land without compensation exists at the end of the reporting period. At the end of reporting period, no impairment has been made in respect of the investment cost on the land use right of Phase II. On 16 October 2019, the Higher People's Court of Hainan Province issued its administrative judgment on the Haikou Decision and revoked the Haikou Decision issued by Haikou People's Government in relation to the confiscation of the land parcel. The administrative judgment issued by the Higher People's Court of Hainan Province was final.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the board (the "Board") of directors (the "Director(s)") of Hailan Holdings Limited (the "Company" or "Hailan Holdings", together with its subsidiaries, collectively the "Group"), I hereby present the unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 (the "Period").
During the Period, given the implementation of restrictive policy in Hainan Province since last year, and the slow approval process for residential projects by the government, the overall sales and supply of properties in Hainan Province dropped significantly in the first half of 2019. Under such business environment, the result of Hailan Holdings inevitably suffered.
During the Period, contracted sales of the Group amounted to RMB234.0 million, representing a reduction of 72.0% as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. Contracted saleable gross floor area ("GFA") was approximately 7,282.0 square meters, representing a regression of approximately 75.3% over the corresponding period last year. The contracted average selling price ("ASP") was about RMB32,134.0 per square meter, representing an increase of about 13.0% over the corresponding period last year. The significant decrease in sales amount was mainly attributable to Hainan Province government's restriction on housing planning and approval, control over construction and investment of residential properties and the impact of restrictive policy.
To further facilitate the continuing development of the Group, we have been exploring different exciting investment opportunities. In the first half of 2019, the Group started to expand to other regions other than Hainan Province and invested and developed in Meizhou and Zhanjiang. Meanwhile, the Group also actively looked for new opportunity in the US and Hong Kong by planning small projects in order to gain experience and slowly increase its overseas investment. Although these investment projects could not generate net cash inflow in the second half of 2019, it is anticipated that such projects will contribute to the Group to a certain extent in the coming 2 years.
- 28 -
Looking ahead, the global economy will remain unstable under the Sino-US trade disputes. The real estate market in Hainan Province will be affected by the restrictive policy. The Chinese government thoroughly implements real estate regulations, which may constrain the development of the Group. The supply of inventory in Hainan Province for the year is affected due to slow approval process for residential housing planning. In long run, however, by virtue of Hainan Island's premium climate and environment as well as the state policies, which support the business and development in Hainan Province, we remain optimistic about the long-term development of real estate operation in Hainan Province. We believe that the location of our valued assets, excellent track record of property management and property construction execution in Hainan Province, the PRC, and the highly supportive industry development policy in Hainan Province, will help sustain the Group's business development and property development in Hainan Province in future.
To materialise international development, the Group has been seeking development opportunity in foreign regions, mainly in Hong Kong and the US. The Group actively identifies real estate investment and development opportunity in the US, especially in Silicon Valley, one of the important engines of the US's economy with constantly high housing demand, which may be a new income source for the Group's future development.
The management has formulated the future development plan. By basing in Hong Kong, delving into the Mainland, expanding the market in North America and spreading global footprints, it will further promote the development of the Group's business and create the best return for shareholders.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Board to all our staff for their hard work, and my heartfelt thanks to investors, customers and business partners for their strong and continuous support to the Group.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Contracted sales
For the Period, the Group recorded contracted sales of approximately RMB234.0 million, representing a significant decrease of approximately 72.0% as compared with approximately RMB836.9 million in the corresponding period of 2018. The contracted saleable GFA was 7,282.0 sq.m. in the first half of 2019, representing a decrease of approximately 75.3% as compared with 29,440.0 sq.m. in the corresponding period of 2018. The ASP of contracted sales for the Period was RMB32,134.0 per sq.m., representing an increase of approximately 13.0% as compared with RMB28,427.3 per sq.m. in the corresponding period of 2018.
The decrease in contracted sales and contracted saleable gross floor area were mainly due to the strict limitations on purchasing commodity housing and making mortgage loan in Hainan. Since in 2018, Hainan Province (the "Province") roll out the country's strictest restrictions on house purchases. The provincial government has barred non-locals from buying houses unless they can prove they have paid the local social security fund for at least two years. In the Province's hotspot cities like Sanya and Haikou the aforesaid requirement goes up to 60 months and in other areas, non-local buyers are banned completely.
The ASP of contracted sales increased by 13.0% was mainly due to the increase in contracted sales in the project of Sanya Phoenix Aqua City South Shore Phase II for the Period, which has a higher unit selling price.
Contract liabilities
As at 30 June 2019, the balance of contract liabilities increased by 95.0% or approximately RMB327.8 million as compared with balance as at 31 December 2018, which was primarily contributed by the contracted sales in the project of Sanya Phoenix Aqua City South Shore Phase II for the Period.

GFA of properties delivered decreased by approximately 90.5% to 2,892.0 sq.m. for the Period from 30,347.0 sq.m. in the corresponding period of 2018. It was primarily attributable to Hainan Province governments restriction on housing planning and approval, control over construction and investment of residential properties and the impact of restrictive policy.

- Cost of sales and gross profit margin
For the Period, the cost of sales of the Group decreased by approximately RMB404.2 million, or approximately 91.6%, as compared with the corresponding period of 2018.

Gross profit margin increased from 50.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2018 to 53.1% for the Period primarily attributable to the fact that the delivered properties of Haikou Phoenix Aqua City Phase I was a project with higher gross profit margin in the first half of 2019.

Selling and distribution expenses and administrative expenses
The selling and distribution expenses for the Period amounted to approximately RMB8.1 million representing an decrease of 86.6% from approximately RMB60.3 million in the same period of 2018, which was mainly due to the decrease in sale commission expenses as a result of decrease in revenue from sale of properties.

Pursuant to the terms of the Guarantees, if there is any default of the mortgage payments by these purchasers, the Group is responsible to repay the outstanding mortgage loans together with any accrued interest and penalty owned by the defaulted purchasers to the banks. The Group's guarantee period commences from the dates of grant of the relevant mortgage loans and ends upon the earlier of the bank receiving the required evidence of mortgage over the relevant property in favour of the bank and the full settlement of mortgage loans by the buyer.
The Directors consider that it is not probable that the Group will sustain a loss under these Guarantees as during the periods under guarantees, the Group can take over the ownerships of the related properties and sell the properties to recover any amounts paid by the Group to the banks. The Directors also consider that the fair market value of the underlying properties is able to cover the outstanding mortgage loans guaranteed by the Group in the event the purchasers default payments to the banks.
The Group has not recognised any deferred income in respect of these guarantees as its fair value is considered to be minimal by the directors.

Legal Proceedings
Haikou Phoenix Aqua City Phase II
On 17 January 2018, Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long Properties Development Limited ("Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long"), a subsidiary of the Group, received a decision from Haikou People's Government in relation to its confiscation of the state-owned
construction land use right of a parcel of land owned by Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long located to the north of Bin Hai Xi Lu* (濱海西路), Haikou, with a total site area of
approximately 88,209.07 square meters (the land certificate number being Hai Kou Shi Guo Yong (2008) No. 001431* (海口市國用(2008)第001431號)) (Haikou Phoenix Aqua City Phase II (the "Phase II")) without compensation (the "Haikou Decision") for the reason that the land parcel has not been developed and constructed on schedule.
Reference is made to the Section headed "Business - Description of our property development projects - Haikou" in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 June 2016 (the "Prospectus"), for the Phase II, according to the notice issued by the Haikou Planning Bureau on 2 July 2013, the planned site area of the Phase II was decreased from 88,209.07 square meters to 61,761.00 square meters, and the plot ratio was increased from
0.5 to 0.78, for which compensation was to be made to the Group for the land being expropriated, and the nature of land use right was changed to "tourism". As at the date of this announcement, the government still has not determined the valuation and compensation proposal for the Phase II and the Group has not obtained the updated land use right certificate for the Phase II hence making the Group unable to further proceed with the developments under the Phase II. - 36 -
However, the Haikou Decision deemed that pursuant to the provisions under the Regulations over Management of idle Land* (閒置土地處置辦法) and the Regulations
over the Identification and Management of idle Land in Hainan District* (海南省閒置土 地認定與處置規定), since such land parcel has failed to be developed in accordance with
the original time schedule and has been delayed for more than two years, it has become idle land and its land use right shall be confiscated. Hainan Nanhai Xiang Long shall be entitled to apply for administrative appeal to the Hainan People's Government within 60 days upon the receipt of the Haikou Decision, or commence administrative proceedings to the Haikou Intermediate People's Court within six months.
The Group considered that the basis for which the Haikou Decision was made by the Haikou People's Government to confiscate the land use right is not fully consistent with the actual circumstances of the Phase II. The Group was of the view that the changes in governmental planning and coastline protection policies as well as the delay in updating the change of land use right certificate have objectively resulted in the impediment on the development of the Phase II, the consequence being that the land parcel was unable to be developed and constructed on schedule. In addition, it was objectively inconsistent with actual circumstances of the Phase II for the government to determine land vacancy by considering the Phase II and Haikou Phoenix Aqua City Phase I land parcel, which has been completed, inspected and put into record, to be two separate land parcels.
The Group also continued its discussions with the Haikou Planning Bureau indicating its willingness to develop the Phase II subject to the Bureau's approval of its design plans. The Directors considered that the Group has reasonable grounds to challenge the Haikou Decision and that therefore, taking account of all available evidence, it was unlikely that an obligation to surrender the land without compensation existed. On 15 June 2018, the Group formally instituted an application of administrative proceeding on the Haikou Decision (the "Administrative Proceeding") to the Intermediate People's Court of Haikou City* (海口市中級人民法院) (the "Haikou Court"). On 28 December 2018, the Haikou Court issued its administrative judgment on the Administrative Proceeding in relation to Phase
- Haikou Court ruled that the Group succeeded in its Administrative Proceeding against Haikou People's Government and dismissed the Haikou Decision in relation to the recovery of the land use right of Haikou project without compensation by the Haikou People's Government for the reasons (among others) that the Haikou Decision was made without sufficient evidence and was not applied with the applicable laws.
On 13 February 2019, Nanhai Xiang Long has received a notice of appeal from the Haikou Court, notifying Nanhai Xiang Long that the Haikou People's Government has submitted an application for appeal against the administrative judgment made by the Haikou Court regarding the administrative proceedings of the Phase II on 28 December 2018.
On 16 October 2019, the Higher People's Court of Hainan Province* (海南省高級人民法 院) issued its administrative judgment on the Haikou Decision and revoked the Haikou Decision issued by Haikou People's Government in relation to the confiscation of the land parcel. The administrative judgment issued by the Higher People's Court of Hainan Province was final. For details of the Haikou Decision, please refer to the announcements of the Company date 25 January 2018, 31 January 2018, 26 June 2018, 9 January 2019, 26 February 2019 and 18 October 2019 respectively.

Danzhou Phoenix Aqua City
A subsidiary of the Group, Danzhou Shuang Lian Properties Development Company Limited ("Danzhou Shuang Lian"), collected the state-owned construction land use right decisions issued by the Danzhou People's Government in May 2018 (the "Danzhou Decisions"), which state that on 30 December 2017, 13 February 2018 and 2 March 2018, Danzhou Phoenix Aqua City, the five land parcels developed by Danzhou Shuang Lian located on the section of Binhai Avenue, Southern Area, Baimajing Town (the land certificate number being Dan Guo Yong (2010) Nos. 710, 711, 712, 713 and 714* (儋國
用(2010)第710、711、712、713及714號)), with a total site area of approximately 385,395.83 square meters (the "Lands") was recovered without compensation for the reason that the Lands was unable to be developed and constructed on schedule.
Reference is made to the section headed "Business - Description of our property development projects - Danzhou" in the Prospectus, Danzhou Phoenix Aqua City occupies an aggregate site area of approximately 399,657.2 square meters and has an expected aggregate GFA (including saleable and non-saleable GFA) of approximately 704,312.8 square meters. As at the date of this announcement, the relevant government authorities have not yet granted the relevant planning and construction permits, hence making the Group unable to proceed with the development of Danzhou Phoenix Aqua City.
However, the Danzhou Decisions deemed that pursuant to the provisions under the Management of Idle Land* (閒置土地處置辦法) and the Regulations over the Identification and Management of Idle Land in Hainan District* (海南省閒置土地認定與
處置規定), since the Lands have failed to be developed in accordance with the original time schedule and relevant construction work has been delayed for more than two years, they have become idle lands and their land use rights shall be recovered without compensation. Danzhou Shuang Lian shall be entitled to apply for administrative review to Hainan People's Government within 60 days upon receipt of the Danzhou Decisions or initiate administrative proceedings with the Second Intermediate People's Court of Hainan Province (the "Hainan Court") within six months.
The Board considered that the basis on which the Danzhou Decisions were made by Danzhou People's Government to recover the land use rights without compensation is not fully consistent with actual circumstances of the Danzhou Phoenix Aqua City. The Board was of the view that the changes in governmental planning and the delay in processing relevant procedures have objectively resulted in the impediment to the development of the Danzhou Phoenix Aqua City, the consequence of which was that the Lands are unable to be developed and constructed on schedule.
On 20 July 2018, the Group formally instituted an application of administrative proceeding on the Danzhou Decisions to the Hainan Court and the case was accepted on 24 July 2018.

On 25 December 2018, the Group submitted an application of appeal against the administrative judgment made by the Hainan Court regarding two land parcels of the above five land parcels with a total site area of approximately 113,349.30 square meters. In addition, the Company has received a summons from the Higher People's Court of Hainan Province on 15 February 2019, stating that the Danzhou People's Government has submitted an application of appeal against the administrative judgment regarding the other three land parcels with a total site area of approximately 272,046.53 square meters.
