NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
1. Reporting entity
Kader Holdings Company Limited is a company domiciled in Bermuda. The interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2020 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests in associates.
The financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019 are available upon request from the Company's principal office at 11/F, 22 Kai Cheung Road, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong or at http://www.kaderholdings.com.
2. Basis of preparation
The interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2020 comprises the Group and the Group's interests in associates.
The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, including compliance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").
The interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 28 August 2020.
The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2019 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2020 annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in note 3.
The preparation of the interim financial report in conformity with HKAS 34 requires management to make judgements, 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.
The Group recorded a loss from operations of HK$43,459,000 during the six months ended 30 June 2020 and net current liabilities of HK$21,929,000 as at 30 June 2020. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding the Group's loss from operations and the net current liabilities of the Group because the directors are of the opinion that the Group would have adequate funds to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for at least twelve months from 30 June 2020.
This interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements 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 2019 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements 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").

3. Changes in accounting policies
The HKICPA has issued several amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group. None of these developments has had a material effect on how the Group's results and the financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial report.
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
4. Estimates
The preparation of interim financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim financial report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019.
5. Revenue and segment reporting
The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by business lines. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has identified the following three reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.
Toys and model trains: | The manufacture and sale of plastic, electronic and stuffed toys |
and model trains. These products are manufactured in the Group's | |
manufacturing facilities located in Mainland China. | |
Property investment: | The leasing of office premises and industrial building to generate |
rental income and to gain from the appreciation in the properties' | |
value in the long term. | |
Investment holding: | The investment in securities. |

5. Revenue and segment reporting (Continued)
(b) | Segment results, assets and liabilities |
For the purpose of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between | |
segments, the Group's senior executive management monitors the results, assets and | |
liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases: | |
Segment assets include all tangible assets and current assets with the exception of | |
intangible assets, interests in associates, deferred tax assets, current tax recoverable, | |
cash and cash equivalents, loans to an associate and other corporate assets. Segment | |
liabilities include all liabilities with the exception of amount due to an associate, | |
current tax payable, deferred tax liabilities and other corporate liabilities. | |
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 profit is "adjusted EBITDA" i.e. "adjusted | |
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation", where "interest" is | |
regarded as including investment income and "depreciation and amortisation" is | |
regarded as including impairment losses on non-current assets. To arrive at adjusted | |
EBITDA, the Group's earnings are further adjusted for items not specifically | |
attributed to individual segments, such as share of profits less losses of associates | |
and other head office or corporate administration costs. | |
In addition to receiving segment information concerning adjusted EBITDA, | |
management is provided with segment information concerning revenue (including | |
inter-segment sales), interest income and expense from cash balances and | |
borrowings managed directly by the segments, depreciation, amortisation and | |
impairment losses and additions to non-current segment assets used by the segments | |
in their operations. Inter-segment sales are priced with reference to prices charged | |
to external parties for similar orders. |

6. Seasonality of operations
The Group's toys and model trains division, a separate business segment (see note 5), on average experiences higher sales in the second half of the year, compared to the first half of the year, due to increased demand for its products during the holiday season. As such, the first half of the year generally reports lower revenue and segment results for this segment than the second half.

The provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate of 16.5% (2019: 16.5%) to the six months ended 30 June 2020. Taxation for subsidiaries outside Hong Kong is similarly calculated using the estimated annual effective rates of taxation that are expected to be applicable in the relevant countries.
9. Loss per share
(a) Basic loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company of HK$78,229,000 (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$20,735,000) and the weighted average of 950,588,000 ordinary shares (six months ended 30 June 2019: 950,588,000 ordinary shares) in issue during the interim period.
(b) Diluted loss per share
The Company did not have any dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during both the current and prior periods. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for both the current and prior periods.

The following table presents the fair value of the Group's financial instruments | ||
measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the | ||
three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13, Fair value measurement. | ||
The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with | ||
reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation | ||
technique as follows: | ||
- | Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. | |
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | ||
at the measurement date | ||
- | Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. | |
observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant | ||
unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data | ||
are not available | ||

Information about Level 2 fair value measurements
The fair value is based on price quoted by financial institutions.
Information about Level 3 fair value measurements
The Group's Level 3 financial instruments represent unlisted equity and debt securities which their fair values are based on unobservable inputs. The directors perform the valuation on Level 3 financial instruments for financial reporting purposes. Their fair values have been determined with reference to the pricing of the recent transactions.

As at 30 June 2020, the Group's net asset value per share was approximately HK$2.35 (31 December 2019: approximately HK$2.44). The Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$21.93 million (31 December 2019: net assets of approximately HK$46.17 million).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Group's financial position and results of operations may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties pertaining to the Group's businesses. The following are the key risks and uncertainties identified by the Group:
Business Risk
Performance of the Group's core business will be affected by various factors, including but not limited to economic conditions which would not be completely mitigated even with strict operational procedures.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from bank borrowings. The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis and manages this risk in a cost-effective manner.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the potential that the Group will be unable to meet its obligations when they fall due because of an inability to obtain adequate funding. In managing the liquidity risk, the Group monitors the cash flows and will negotiate with banks to increase the banking facilities, if necessary.
Customer risk
The sales to one of the Group's customers represented approximately 19% of the Group's sales during the six months ended 30 June 2020. The Group has endeavoured to diversify its customer base and provided quality products and services to the customers to maintain good relationship with them so as to mitigate the customer risk.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Major assets, liabilities and transactions of the Group are denominated in Hong Kong dollars, United States dollars, Sterling Pounds ("GBP"), Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), Japanese Yen ("JPY") and Euro ("EUR"). As such, the Group faces a certain degree of exchange rate risk mainly arising from GBP, RMB, JPY and EUR denominated transactions for which the exchange rate volatility is relatively high.
- 26 -
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES
As at 30 June 2020, the Group employed 1,248 (30 June 2019: 1,730) full time management, administrative and production staff in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("HKSAR"), Mainland China, the United States and Europe. The Group has seasonal fluctuations in the number of workers employed in its production plants while the number of management and administrative staff remains stable. The staff costs for the six months ended 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately HK$76.66 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: approximately HK$96.30 million). The Group remunerates its employees based on their performance, experience and prevailing industry practices. In the area of staff training, the Group encourages staff to participate in courses on technical skills improvement and personal development.
PROSPECTS
The economic outlook for the period ahead will continue to be challenged by major domestic and international events including the outbreak and spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States and China tension and the Brexit which in turn adversely affect the general business environment. The Group will diversify its businesses, explore sales opportunities, raise production efficiency and strengthen the cost control measures in order to sustain its businesses. In addition, the Group obtained the approval from the Government of the HKSAR for revitalization of Kader Building. The whole process is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. The revitalization of Kader Building will enhance the Group's source of revenue and profitability.

DIRECTORS' RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE SHARES OR DEBENTURES
At no time during the period was the Company or any of its subsidiaries a party to any arrangement to enable the directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate.
PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF LISTED SECURITIES
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company's listed securities during the period under review.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board of Directors regularly reviews its corporate governance practices to ensure its continuous compliance with the Corporate Governance Code ("CG Code") as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules. Throughout the period under review, the Group has complied with all code provisions in CG Code, except for the deviation from CG Code A.2.1 as described below:
Under CG Code A.2.1, the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr. Kenneth Ting Woo-shou has the combined role of Chairman and Managing Director. The Board considers that this structure will not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of the Group as non-executive director and independent non-executive directors ("INEDs") form the majority of the Board, with five out of eight of the directors of the Company being non-executive director and INEDs. The Board believes the appointment of Mr. Kenneth Ting Woo-shou to the posts of Chairman and Managing Director is beneficial to the Group as he has considerable industry experience.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Company has reviewed with management the key accounting policies and discussed auditing, internal controls and financial reporting matters, including a review of the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS
The Company has adopted the Model Code set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as its model code for securities transactions by the Company's directors and relevant employees who are or may be in possession of unpublished inside information. Based on specific enquiries made, all directors have confirmed that they have complied with the Model Code throughout the period under review.
