NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-
GENERAL INFORMATION
Bamboos Health Care Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") are principally engaged in the provision of healthcare staffing solution services in Hong Kong. The Group also engaged in provision of outreach case assessment related services and operation of aesthetic clinic.
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 23 November 2012 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. The address of its registered office is PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands and its principal place of business is Room 204, 2/F, Wing On Plaza, 62 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The Company is listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of units of Hong Kong dollars ("HK$'000"), unless otherwise stated. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") and requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance Cap
622. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which are carried at fair value.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.
- New standard, amendments to standards and interpretation adopted by the Group
The Group has applied the following new standard, amendments to standards and interpretation for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2019:
Annual Improvements Project | Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle |
(Amendment) | |
HKAS 19 (Amendment) | Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement |
HKAS 28 (Amendment) | Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures |
HKFRS 9 (Amendment) | Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation |
HKFRS 16 | Lease |
HKFRS 16 (Amendments) | COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions |
HK(IFRIC) - Int 23 | Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments |
The Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting HKFRS 16. The Group elected to adopt the new rules retrospectively but recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard on 1 July 2019. This is disclosed in Note 2.2. Other amendments to standards and interpretation listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.

The new standard, amendments to standards and conceptual framework relevant to the Group which have been issued, but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 July 2019 and have not been early adopted by the Group. These new standard, amendments to standards and conceptual framework are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions:

2.2 Changes in accounting policies
This note explains the impact of the adoption of HKFRS 16 Leases on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
As indicated in Note 2.1(a) above, the Group has adopted HKFRS 16 Leases retrospectively from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening consolidated balance sheet on 1 July 2019.
On adoption of HKFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of HKAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 5.17%.
-
Practical expedients applied
In applying HKFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: - applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
- 8 -
- accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application.
-
Measurement of lease liabilities
The reconciliation between the operating lease commitments as disclosed as at 30 June 2019 and the lease liabilities recognised in the consolidated balance sheet as at 1 July 2019 (date of initial application of HKFRS 16) is as follows:
HK$'000 | ||
Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 30 June 2019 | 5,953 | |
Discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of | ||
initial application | 5,320 | |
Less: short-term leases not recognised as a liability | (2,594) | |
Lease liabilities recognised as at 1 July 2019 | 2,726 | |
Of which are: | ||
Current lease liabilities | 1,843 | |
Non-current lease liabilities | 883 | |
2,726 | ||
- Measurement of right-of-use assets
The associated right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2019.

-
Adjustments recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at 1 July 2019
As a lessee, the Group's leases are mainly rentals of offices. The change in accounting policies affected the following items in the consolidated balance sheet at 1 July 2019:

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2020 was HK$0.33 (2019: HK$0.68) per option. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an adjusted form of the Black Scholes Model which includes a Monte Carlo simulation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution (where material), the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk free interest rate for the term of the option and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.
The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2020 included:
- vested options are exercisable for a period of seven to nine years after vesting (2019: Same)
- exercise price: HK$0.994 (2019: HK$1.440)
- grant date: 26 June 2020 (2019: 29 April 2019)
- expiry date: 26 June 2030 (2019: 29 April 2029)
- share price at grant date: HK$0.980 (2019: HK$1.440)
- expected price volatility of the company's shares: 46% (2019: 52%)
- expected dividend yield: 3.09% (2019: 1.74%)
- risk-freeinterest rate: 0.65% (2019: 1.67%)
The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
19 CONTINGENT LIABILITY
A claim was lodged by Garden Medical Centre Limited ("GMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, in June 2019 asserting that the founder and ex-director of GMC (the "defendant") has breached certain clauses in an employment agreement. The defendant has filed a defense and counterclaim in relation to the case for the reliefs to recover the compensation of employee. The matter is currently being considered by the court and the date of hearing has not been scheduled. The Group considers the litigation is on early stage, the evidences are not sufficient for the judgment, therefore no provision is recognised in relation to this claim.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The Group is dedicated to the provision of healthcare staffing solution services to individuals and institutional clients including hospitals, social service organisations and clinics in Hong Kong. The Group offers duty opportunities to self-employed healthcare personnel registered with us. Through an outreach team of healthcare professionals, the Group also provides outreach case assessment related services.
The Group's revenue for the Year was approximately HK$72.3 million (2019: HK$78.5 million), representing a decrease of approximately 7.9% from the year ended 30 June 2019. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the Year was approximately HK$30.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 21.1% as compared with approximately HK$38.9 million for the year ended 30 June 2019.
The revenue from the provision of healthcare staffing solution services for the Year was approximately HK$66.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$6.3 million as compared with approximately HK$73.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2019. Though there were no material impact of COVID-19 on the Group's overall revenue, the decrease in revenue from provision of health staffing solution was attributable to the entailing effects of COVID-19 on healthcare demand in the first half of 2020.
Revenue from the provision of outreach case assessment related services increased slightly by HK$0.2 million, which was mainly attributable to the increase in demand for medical and health assessment services.
To maintain a vast and diversified pool of registered healthcare personnel to better seize the opportunities for growth, the Group offered various member benefits to attract and retain healthcare personnel registered with the Group. There were approximately 22,000 healthcare personnel registered with the Group as at 30 June 2020 (approximately 20,000 as at 30 June 2019), representing an increase of approximately 10% when compared to that of the year ended 30 June 2019.
In view of the ever-increasing ageing population, lightening of COVID-19, numerous ongoing hospital development plans and escalating demand for services in both institutional and private healthcare staffing solution, the Board remains optimistic towards the continuous growth of the core business of the Group in the medium and long term. The Group will continue to fortify its core business and solidify its market position.
The Board takes initiatives from time to time to explore business opportunities and cooperate or form alliance with strategic partners to pursue new business ventures with a view to diversifying the business of the Group beyond its existing dimension and geographical location, which is in line with the Group's business strategy for sustainable development to optimise business growth and return to our stakeholders. These business endeavours in
- 19 -
the past included the embarking on a joint venture (namely Bamboos Professional Nursing Services PTE. Limited) in Singapore with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lippo China Resources Limited to principally engage in the provision of customised healthcare staffing solution services to individuals, institutional clients and healthcare institutions and placing of healthcare personnel on appropriate vacancies and duty assignments and the setting up of a company, Garden Medical Centre Limited, with two doctors to explore and tap into the potential of the operation of aesthetic clinic(s) in Hong Kong.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
The revenue of the Group for the Year comprised revenue from (i) the provision of healthcare staffing solution services; (ii) the provision of outreach case assessment related services; and
- the operation of aesthetic clinic in Hong Kong. The total revenue was approximately HK$72.3 million for the Year, representing a decrease of approximately 7.9% from approximately HK$78.5 million for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the market demand for healthcare services has decreased due to the temporary shutdown of certain healthcare facilities. However, the Company had recorded a slight increase in revenue of HK$0.2 million from provision of outreach case assessment related service due to the increase of demand for medical and health assessment service.
The revenue from the provision of healthcare staffing solution services as a percentage of gross fee is determined with reference to the mark-up ratio between the charge-out rate to the clients and the pay-out rate to different ranks of healthcare personnel placed by the Group and the number of service hours performed by respective rank of healthcare personnel.
