NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") as well as the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
  2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the investment properties and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values.
    Other than changes in accounting policies resulting from application of amendments to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
    Application of amendments to HKFRSs

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following amendments to HKFRSs and an interpretation issued by the HKICPA which are mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 for the preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements:

Amendments to HKFRS 3

Definition of a Business

Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8

Definition of Material

Amendments to HKFRS 9,

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7

In addition to the above amendments to HKFRSs, a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting was issued in 2018. Its consequential amendments, the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

Except as described below, the application of the above amendments to HKFRSs in the current period has had no material impact on the Group's financial positions and performance for the current and prior periods and/or on the disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

7

Impact and accounting policy on application of Amendments to HKFRS 3 "Definition of a Business"

Accounting policy

Business combinations

Effective from 1 January 2020, the Group can elect to apply an optional concentration test, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not business. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The gross assets under assessment exclude cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets and goodwill resulting from the effects of deferred tax liabilities. If the concentration test is met, the set of activities and assets is determined not to be a business and no further assessment is needed.

Transition and summary of effects

The amendments had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

Property Development

Contracted Sales

In the first half of 2020, faced with the negative impact of COVID-19 on the macro economy and the real estate industry, the Group returned satisfactory results by making prompt adjustments to its strategies, expanding customer base through online marketing platforms, facilitating work resumption and sales at the offline sales offices, seizing the opportunities arising from the recovery of the property market since March and accelerating destocking.

During the Period, the Group achieved total contracted sales of approximately RMB17.506 billion and contracted sales area of 1,354,430 sq.m., of which, approximately RMB15.064 billion was derived from the contracted sales of residences with contracted sales area of 1,228,698 sq.m., accounting for approximately 86.0% and 90.7% of the total contracted sales and total contracted sales area of properties of the Group in the first half of 2020, respectively; and approximately RMB2.442 billion was derived from contracted sales of urban complexes with contracted sales area of 125,732 sq.m., representing approximately 14.0% and 9.3% of total contracted sales and total contracted sales area of properties of the Group in the first half of 2020, respectively.

Community services

Leveraging on its core competitiveness based on professional and market-oriented services, Colour Life, a community services provider of the Group, has established a unique development pattern of third-party expansion, under which the Group strives to increase its market shares by enhancing its brand reputation and offering quality services at a competitive price. As of 30 June 2020, the Total Contracted GFA of Colour Life reached 563.7 million sq.m. in 279 cities across the country.

In the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, Colour Life made prompt response by carrying out unified deployment and quickly developing a standardised epidemic prevention and control plan which has been simultaneously implemented in all projects of the Group nationwide. Thanks to the commitment and professional work of all staff of Colour Life, no case of mass infection was reported in any community managed by Colour Life, and the infection rate of residents in the communities managed by Colour Life in Wuhan City was far below the average infection rate of the city. Moreover, our efforts were well recognized, with over 75% of the projects managed by Colour Life receiving commendation from the government or compliments and regards from the owners.

Colour Life continued to adhere to the strategy of "promoting community care" during the Period. For example, in response to the "street-stall economy" initiative of the government and in order to promote neighbourhood relationship, Colour Life organised "public welfare fairs" in the communities, which not only offered an opportunity to promote communication among the adults and also provided vending stalls for the children for fun and broadening their horizon.

In order to optimse the overall management system, Colour Life carried out restructuring of its original structure and reorganized its business into five regional segments by geographical location, so as to promote further integration between its original businesses such as "Colour Life community" and the acquired businesses such as "WXM community", which is conducive to the unified management of Colour Life to enhance resource utilisation and achieve scale economy, and also helps to export the management and service experiences of some outstanding communities across the Group to promote synergetic effects and cost advantage.

In terms of value-added business, Color Life continued to build a more open online ecosystem. JD.com and 360.com, two Internet giants, have joined Colour Life as strategic investors to jointly explore community value-added business. In the first half of 2020, the Group joined hands with JD.com to promote the implementation of a pilot business of smart parcel lockers. Based on this business, Colour Life will continue to explore other types of community services, making property management services a much more important part of the owner's life.
