Notes:

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values.
    Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
  2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HKFRSs
    New and amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year
    The Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA for the first time in the current year.

HKFRS 16 HK(IFRIC) - Int 23 Amendments to HKFRS 9 Amendments to HKAS 19 Amendments to HKAS 28 Amendments to HKFRSs

Leases

Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2015 - 2017 Cycle

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

2.1 HKFRS 16 Leases

The Group has applied HKFRS 16 for the first time in the current year. HKFRS 16 superseded HKAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations.

Definition of a lease

The Group has elected the practical expedient to apply HKFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC) - Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease and not apply this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease. Therefore, the Group has not reassessed contracts which already existed prior to the date of initial application.

For contracts entered into or modified on or after 1st January, 2019, the Group applies the definition of a lease in accordance with the requirements set out in HKFRS 16 in assessing whether a contract contains a lease.

- 5 -

As a lessee

The Group has applied HKFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognised at the date of initial application, 1st January, 2019.

As at 1st January, 2019, the Group recognised additional lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at amounts equal to the related lease liabilities by applying HKFRS 16.C8(b)(ii) transition. Any difference at the date of initial application is recognised in the opening retained profits and comparative information has not been restated.

When applying the modified retrospective approach under HKFRS 16 at transition, the Group applied the following practical expedients to leases previously classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, on lease-by-lease basis, to the extent relevant to the respective lease contracts:

  1. relied on the assessment of whether leases are onerous by applying HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as an alternative of impairment review;
  2. elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application;
  3. excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application; and
  4. used hindsight based on facts and circumstances as at date of initial application in determining the lease term for the Group's leases with extension and termination options.

When recognising the lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases, the Group has applied incremental borrowing rates of the relevant group entities at the date of initial application. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied by the relevant group entities ranges from 3.60% to 5.39%.

As a lessor

In accordance with the transitional provisions in HKFRS 16, the Group is not required to make any adjustment on transition for leases in which the Group is a lessor but account for those leases in accordance with HKFRS 16 from the date of initial application and comparative information has not been restated.

Upon application of HKFRS 16, new lease contracts entered into but commence after the date of initial application relating to the same underlying assets under existing lease contracts are accounted as if the existing leases are modified as at 1st January, 2019. The application has had no impact on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position at 1st January, 2019. However, effective from 1st January, 2019, lease payments relating to the revised lease term after modification are recognised as income on straight-line basis over the extended lease term.

Notes:

  1. Before the application of HKFRS 16, the Group considered refundable rental deposits paid as rights and obligations under leases to which HKAS 17 applied. Based on the definition of lease payments under HKFRS 16, such deposits are not payments relating to the right to use of the underlying assets and were adjusted to reflect the discounting effect at transition. Accordingly, HK$868,000 was adjusted to refundable rental deposits paid and right-of-use assets.
  2. In relation to assets previously under finance leases, the Group recategorised the carrying amounts of the relevant assets which were still under lease as at 1st January, 2019 amounting to HK$416,000 as right-of-use assets. In addition, the Group reclassified the obligations under finance leases of HK$367,000 and HK$60,000 to lease liabilities as current and non-current liabilities respectively at 1st January, 2019.
  3. Upfront payments for leasehold land in Mainland China were classified as prepaid lease payments as at 31st December, 2018. Upon application of HKFRS 16, the current and non- current portion of prepaid lease payments amounting to HK$451,000 and HK$12,643,000 respectively were reclassified to right-of-use assets.

The initial application of HKFRS 16 has no significant impact to the carrying amounts of interests in a joint venture and an associate.

Except for the above, the application of HKFRS 16 has no other significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

- 8 -

2.2 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application of Amendments to HKAS 28 Long- term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

The amendments clarify that the Group applies HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("HKFRS 9"), including the impairment requirements to long-term interests in an associate or a joint venture to which the equity method is not applied that form part of the net investment in the investee. Furthermore, in applying HKFRS 9 to long-term interests, the Group does not take into account any adjustments to their carrying amount required by HKAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures ("HKAS 28") (i.e. adjustments to the carrying amount of long-term interests arising from the allocation of losses of the investee or assessment of impairment in accordance with HKAS 28).

The Group has applied Amendments to HKAS 28 retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognised at the date of initial application, 1st January, 2019. Any difference at the date of initial application is recognised in the opening retained profits and comparative information has not been restated.

As at 31st December 2018, amount due from an associate of HK$9,622,000 was considered as a long- term interest that, in substance form part of the Group's net investment in the relevant associate. The adoption of Amendments to HKAS 28 resulted in additional impairment losses under ECL model of HK$9,622,000 recognised against retained profits.

The following adjustment was made to the amount recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at 1st January, 2019. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included.

The Group sells metal products and building construction materials directly to corporate customers. Revenue is recognised when control of the goods has been transferred, being at the point in time when the goods are delivered to the customer's specific location.

Other than the cash sales, the Group allows credit periods ranging from 30 to 120 days to its customers. As at 31st December, 2019 and 2018, the Group had no unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations.

Under the Group's standard contract terms, customers have a right to exchange for products. The Group uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of exchange on a portfolio level. Revenue is recognised for sales which are considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. A contract liability is recognised for sales in which revenue has yet been recognised.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies. Segment result represents the gross profit or loss generated/suffered from each segment, net of selling and distribution costs and administrative expenses directly attributable to each segment without allocation of certain other income, corporate expenses, fair value (loss) gain on investment properties, finance costs and share of results of a joint venture and an associate. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision makers for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.

Inter-segment sales are charged at cost or cost plus a percentage of mark-up.

On 21st March, 2018, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passes the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No. 7) Bill 2017 (the "Bill") which introduces the two-tiered profits tax rates regime. The Bill was signed into law on 28th March, 2018 and was gazetted on the following day. Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime, the first HK$2 million of taxable profits of qualifying corporations will be taxed at 8.25%, and taxable profits above HK$2 million will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%. The two-tiered profits tax rates regime are applicable to the Group for its annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2018. The application of the two-tiered profits tax rates regime is expected to have insignificant effect to the Group.

Under the Law of Mainland China on Enterprise Income Tax (the "EIT Law") and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the Chinese subsidiaries is 25%. In addition, a Chinese subsidiary of the Company was qualified as "High-tech Enterprise" in Tianjin and subject to an Enterprise Income Tax Rate of 15%, which was granted for further three years starting from 2019. Another three Chinese subsidiaries were qualified as "Small Low-profit Enterprise" in Guangdong and subject to an Enterprise Income Tax Rate of 5% for the first Renminbi ("RMB") 1 million of taxable profits and 10% for the taxable profits above RMB1 million but not exceeding RMB3 million. Further, withholding income tax of 10% is generally imposed on dividends relating to any profits earned commencing from 2008 to foreign investors, while for some Chinese entities held by companies incorporated in certain places, including Hong Kong, preferential tax rate of 5% will be applied according to Mainland China tax regulations if such companies are the beneficial owner of over 25% of these Chinese entities.

The EIT Law requires withholding tax to be levied on distribution of profits earned by a Chinese entity to a Hong Kong resident company (which is the beneficial owner of the dividend received) for profits generated after 1st January, 2008 at the rate of 5%. As at 31st December, 2019 and 2018, deferred tax was provided in full in respect of the temporary differences attributable to such profits.

BUSINESS REVIEW

During the year, metal products and building construction materials represent the Group's two major core businesses.

For the year ended 31st December, 2019, the Group's total revenue was HK$2,803,735,000 representing a decrease of approximately 9% compared to last year.

The two major core businesses remained stable during the year, while the slight decrease in income was mainly attributable to the impact from the decrease of steel prices.

After the deduction of profit attributable to non-controlling interests, loss attributable to the Company amounted to HK$6,233,000, which is a remarkable improvement compared to last year.

During the year, the Group's overall businesses continued to operate in a challenging environment, especially the construction industry in Hong Kong was still in a severe depression. However, through the team's unremitting efforts, our result has recorded a significant improvement. Excluding the provision made for the disposals of certain non-core businesses due to business restructure and the non-operational and cash flow expenses under the new accounting standard (Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 16 Leases), overall result for businesses of the Group have basically returned to profit.

Metal Products

The business is currently comprising of steel coil processing, steel wires, and steel wire rope products. Revenue for the year was HK$1,233,605,000, an increase of approximately 4% compared to last year. Profit before interest and taxation was HK$91,942,000, a drastic increase of approximately 90% compared to last year.

During the year, our metal products business remained stable. The relatively stable prices in raw materials and the good performance of our steel wire rope business in Tianjin, Mainland China have contributed to the greatly-improved efficiency. Benefited from the sound progress in the high- performance lifting wire rope market development and the increased capacity for elevator wire rope in the beginning of the year, both production volumes and performance for our steel wire rope products hit another new height.

The steel wire rope business in Tianjin, Mainland China is currently the largest elevator wire rope manufacturer in the world. Over the years, it provides stable supply of steel wire rope packages to international renowned elevator companies, such as OTIS, HITACHI, MITSUBISHI, THYSSEN, etc and has even replaced most of the imported products in recent years, which is an evidence to prove that the market has recognition and trust in the Group's production technology and quality of steel wire rope products.

Steel wire rope products, which include elevator wire rope and high-performance lifting wire rope, are the Group's key development projects in recent years, with the objective to become one of the best steel wire rope enterprise in Mainland China. For many years, our management and team have been devoting tremendous efforts in equipment investments, human resources trainings, product researches and developments as well as market expansion, meanwhile, we have also been tolerating for the negative impacts on the Group's results from years of developments, which is now become mature and entering into its harvest period. The Group is confident that with the dedicated efforts of the management and the team, the steel wire rope business is able to bring ideal returns to our shareholders.

- 19 -

Building Construction Materials

The business comprises mainly of ready mixed concrete, precast concrete products and distribution and processing of construction steel products in Hong Kong.

Revenue for the year was HK$1,561,518,000, a decrease of 17% compared to the corresponding period of last year. Profit before interest and taxation was HK$2,106,000, representing a significant improvement as compared to last year.

The Hong Kong construction industry is still in a difficult situation. Furthermore, our steel processing operation had a contract in relation to processing construction steel products that entered into during the year has been delayed for almost 1 year due to the settlement at the construction site, which has caused a certain extent of negative impact on the performance. Nevertheless, in the year, the Group enhanced various cost managements of the building construction material business, with a more prudence and focused on the soundness and sustainability of the building construction material business. During the year, the building construction material business obtained obvious improvements when compared to last year.

Although the general construction industry is still trapping in a sluggish market, with the commencements of a number of large-scale public works projects, such as expansion of the airport, developments in Kai Tak and West Kowloon and Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, as well as the coming years will be a peak season for public housing constructions, the Group remained optimistic about the building construction material business.

PROSPECT

In the beginning of 2020, there was an outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, coupled with the social unrest in Hong Kong since June in last year, it is no doubt that the short-term business of the Group will experience huge shocks and challenges and slow down the recovery expectations for the Group's results, however, the steady upward trend for the development of the Group's business for the coming years will remain unchanged. Facing the current challenges, the Group will emphasis more on the stabilities of each business and various cost expenses, and further optimize its business portfolio. In particular, we will invest more to develop the domestic steel wire rope business, which has a relatively better situation. By virtue of the unremitting efforts from our management and team, the Group is confidence and dedicated to undergo the current challenges and restore the Group's performance to another growth cycle as soon as possible.
