Momentum Financial Holdings Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"). The address of the registered office is Clarendon House 2 Church Street Hamilton HM 11 Bermuda and principal place of business of the Company is Room 2407, 24/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group") are the provision of finance leasing and consultancy services and cross-border trading business of nutrition food and health care products.

The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi ("RMB"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars as the directors of the Company consider that HK$ is appropriate presentation currency for the users of the Group's consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statement of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange, and with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("HKAS 34") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").

The preparation of an 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.

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").

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values.

In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2020. HKFRSs comprise HKFRSs; Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS"); and Interpretations. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Interim Financial Statements (Continued)

For the six months ended 30 June 2020

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019. A number of new or amended standards are effective from 1 January 2020 but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following disclosures of fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

Level 1 inputs:

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group

can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs:

inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or

liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs:

unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of any of the three levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS REVIEW

1. Cross-Border trading business - nutrition food and health care products

In view of the market growth in nutritional food products and health care products, the Group started to engage in trading activities related to nutritional food products and health care products in connection with the Group's trading business.

Our major suppliers are import agencies and distributors of nutritional food products. The import agencies and distributors covered several reputable and major foreign brands of nutritional food products and their products are all supplied by official channels of the brands. In addition, some of them have obtained the authorisation from the foreign brands to use the brand directly for brand promotion. The import agencies and distributors offer several nutritional food products for the Group to choose as its product portfolio. The Group will from time to time review its product portfolio and expand the product portfolio and suppliers if necessary and when opportunities arise.

Our major customers are local trading companies and providers of import/export services. To the best of the Group's knowledge, those local trading companies mainly sell the products to Hong Kong and the PRC domestic markets, and most of their target customers are tourists from the PRC.

The Company adjusts its business strategy of the trading business from time to time according to different market circumstances. Since 2019, in Hong Kong, there were less tourists from the PRC visiting Hong Kong and the social distancing measures during the Coronavirus outbreak, the Company therefore devoted more resources on its cross-bordere-commerce trading and sales to satisfy demand in the PRC. The expansion of cross-bordere-commerce trading allows the Group to not only target on customers to local trading companies and providers of import/export services, but to also expand its customer base to customers in the PRC. To manage against the drop in orders placed by customers in Hong Kong and to follow the trend in the growth in e-commerce, the Group is adapting its sales strategy from passively relying on local trading companies and providers of import/ export services to sell to end customers to actively offer the nutritional products and health care products directly to the end customers in the PRC, hence the Group commenced cross-border trading of nutritional products and health care products since June 2019. The cross-border trading contributed significantly to the Group's revenue in the second half year of 2019 that the revenue of trading segment in the second half year of 2019 increased by approximately HK$180 million (or approximately 280%) compared with that in the second half year of 2018. The cross-border trading also contributed an increase of approximately HK$51 million (or approximately 100.9%) to the revenue of the segment of trading business - nutritional food and health care products of the first half year of 2020 as compared with that of corresponding period in 2019.

The Group has entered into a cooperation service agreement with an online shopping platform in the PRC for the sale of nutritional food products through the online platform.

In the PRC, online shopping is gaining popularity expeditiously due to the high traffic on the online shopping platforms and will become an important shopping channel for both local and overseas customers in the future. Coupled with the current situation in Hong Kong, the Board is of the view that it is a good time to capture the opportunity to enter into the PRC market directly through cross-border online trading.

28 Momentum Financial Holdings Limited Interim Report 2020

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

The Group is currently working with the online platform. It is anticipated that the trading business of the Group will extend to the PRC through the online platform.

In order to tap into the growing internet retailing, the Group has entered into a cooperation service agreement (the "Cooperation Service Agreement") with 深圳七號洋行電子商務有限公司* (Shenzhen No. 7 Yanghang E-commerce Company Limited, the "No. 7") on 2 July 2019 and became a merchant client to have its products listed on No. 7's platform for sale. No. 7 is a shopping platform dedicated to provide a fast and worry-free shopping experience for overseas products. No. 7 is a cross-bordere-commerce company integrating overseas direct procurement, import and export supply chain management, commodities promotion & distribution, (B2B) Integrated service provider.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Service Agreement, the online platform will promote and publish information and retail prices of the products specified by the Group on No. 7's website or other channels provided by No.7 and provide customer service and accept orders from customers on behalf of the Group. When an order for the Group's products has been placed, the online platform will collect the sales proceeds from the customers, deduct the corresponding service fee and other related expenses and remit the balance to a designated bank account of the Group. The Group will then, through the services provided by Shenzhen Yueyang (as define below) under the Supply Chain Agreement (as defined below), arrange for delivery of the ordered products to the customer in accordance with the information provided by the online platform. Given the nutritional food products will be sold directly to end customers, the profit margin derived from the trading business is expected to increase.

The entry into of the Cooperation Service Agreement is for launching the online sales distribution platform of the goods for the Group which helps expand the sales channel of the Group and tap into the PRC market.

The Group has already entered into a supply chain agreement with 深圳越洋供應鏈管理有限公司* (Shenzhen Yueyang Supply Chain Management Company Limited, "Shenzhen Yueyang") on 13 June 2019 (the "Supply Chain Agreement"), pursuant to which Shenzhen Yueyang has agreed to provide the Group with one-stop service for import of bonded goods, including but not limited to overseas pick-up and customs clearance, transport between PRC and Hong Kong, bonded customs declaration and inspection, bonded warehousing, order sorting, customs clearance for goods entering into the PRC border and delivery of goods in PRC. With this supply chain network in place, the Group will be able to sell its nutritional food products to customers in the PRC via various import agency companies. The Group is exploring opportunities for deeper cooperation and/or investing in Shenzhen Yueyang for the benefit of the cross-border trading business. Announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

The Group will source the products from more import agencies and distributors of nutritional food products and health care products in Hong Kong or overseas and deliver the products directly to the bonded warehouse, which will then be sold to customers both in Hong Kong and the PRC through the online platform. A bonded warehouse is a building or secured area in a special customs supervision area in China in which dutiable goods are stored before payment of duties.

Momentum Financial Holdings Limited Interim Report 2020 29

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

To support its cross-border trading development, the Group has signed framework agreements with its major suppliers to establish a long term business relationship and maintain reliable and stable supply of products. Exemplifying this is a framework agreement signed with a Japanese company in relation to the provision of beauty products and other products of daily use. In view of the growing demand for overseas products in the PRC, the Directors consider that the variety of imported products to be traded through the online platform will diversify the trading business.

The entry into of such framework agreements enables the Group to secure and diversify the supply of different types of products from different suppliers. Details of price, payment and delivery terms will be contained in individual purchase orders and invoices.

2. Provision of finance leasing and consultancy service

The Finance Leasing Business has been one of the principal businesses of the Group since 2014. The Group is from time to time looking for suitable opportunities to expand its Finance Leasing Business, for example, factoring lease receivables from financial institutions for enhancing the source of income.

The Group's Finance Leasing Business mainly includes (i) direct finance leasing; and (ii) sale and leaseback.

  1. Direct finance leasing
    Direct finance leasing generally involves the Group acquiring machinery or equipment directly from the supplier at the instruction of the Group's customer, which is then leased to the customer of the Group. The customer will then repay the financing amount, interest and handling fee to the Group in monthly installments. The financing amount granted by the Group will usually be determined based on the purchase price of the machinery or equipment and the customer's creditworthiness and ability to repay. Upon the expiry of the lease term and full repayment of the lease payment, the ownership of the machinery or equipment will be transferred to the customer at a nominal price. In direct finance leasing, although the Group has legal ownership to the machinery or equipment underlying the lease during the lease term, substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are transferred to the customer through contractual relationship between the Group and the customer.
  2. Sale and leaseback
    Sale and leaseback typically involves a customer selling its owned machinery or equipment to the Group and the Group then lease back such machinery or equipment to this customer. This form of finance leasing is primarily used by customers who need working capital to fund their business operation. The customer will then repay the financing amount, interest and handling fee to the Group in monthly installments. The financing amount granted by the Group will usually be determined based on the purchase price and depreciation of the machinery or equipment and the customer's creditworthiness and ability to repay. Upon the expiry of the lease term and full repayment of the lease payment, the ownership of the machinery or equipment will be transferred back to the customer at a nominal price. In sale and leaseback transaction, although the Group has legal ownership to the machinery or equipment underlying the lease during the lease term, substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are transferred to the customer through contractual relationship between the Group and the customer.

Financial Performance

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the principal businesses of the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$103,374,000, showing an increase of approximately 94.9% as compared with the corresponding period in last year which was mainly contributed by the cross-border trading - nutrition food and health care products.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Cross-Border trading business - nutrition food and health care products segment recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$4,888,000, showing an increase of approximately 533.2% as compared with the corresponding period in last year. The increase in revenue of cross-border trading business - nutrition food and health care products segment was mainly due to the Group commenced cross-border trading of nutritional products and health care products since June 2019.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the finance leasing segment recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$495,000 in contrast with segment loss of approximately HK$391,000 in last corresponding period showing a significant increase as compared with the corresponding period in last year. This was mainly due to the result of the successful positive effect of the strategy of the Group to focus on the financial leasing market of medical equipment for Hospitals in PRC in order to capture the potential growth in demand for medical care arising from continuous ageing of general population in PRC.

OUTLOOK

In the first half year of 2020, the Group has improved revenue, gross profit and reduced the net loss for the period as compared with that of 2019 despite of the hit of COVID-19 and the economic downturn. The Group will continue to use its best endeavour to diversify the products, suppliers and funding channels to enhance the source of income and implement cost saving measures to improve the profitability and financial position of the Group.

However, the future execution may be subject to capital investment, human resources constraints, COVID-19 and economic environment. The Group will strive to improve its profitability and financial position but the plans and performance of the Group may also be hindered by other factors beyond the Group's control, such as the general market conditions, the development of the financing lease industry, trading industry and e-commerce industry, rules and regulations, and the economic and political environment of Hong Kong.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As at 30 June 2020, the Group recorded total assets of approximately HK$222,117,000 which were financed by internal resources of approximately HK$42,195,000 and liabilities of approximately HK$179,922,000. The Group had total cash and bank balances of approximately HK$41,735,000. The current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) of the Group increased from 1.45 times as at 31 December 2019 to 1.53 times as at 30 June 2020. As at 30 June 2020, the Group did not have any deposit pledged to secure bank overdrafts, short-term bank loans and unused banking facilities. The Group's operation was mainly financed by funds generated from its operation and borrowings. As at 30 June 2020, the borrowings were mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$"), while the cash and cash equivalents held by the Group were mainly denominated in HK$, Renminbi ("RMB") and United States dollars ("US$").

In order to support and expand the finance leasing business and the cross-border trading business, the Group will strive to diversify its financing sources and explore fund raising opportunities, for example, credit facilities from financial institutions.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group did not have any significant contingent liabilities.

GEARING RATIO

The gearing ratio was 46.5% as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: 40.9%). The gearing ratio is arrived at by dividing the total external financing debt by total assets at the end of the corresponding period. The increase in gearing ratio was mainly due to decrease in finance lease receivables by approximately HK$11,037,000 and decrease in trade and other receivables by approximately HK$18,476,000.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE AND INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group continued to manage and monitor its interest rate and currency exchange risks exposure to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on timely and effective manner. The major borrowings of the Group carry interest at fixed rates.

In respect of the finance lease business, the Group's receipts, payments and operating expenses are all transacted in RMB, in which the Group expects the currency risks would be insignificant.

The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. The Group will monitor its foreign exchange exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arises.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

CREDIT POLICY

Regarding the credit risk on finance lease receivables, the Group would assess the credit quality of each potential lessee and define limits for each lessee before accepting any new finance lease. The Group also demands certain finance lease borrowers to pledge further collaterals with the Group apart from the subject leased assets at the time the finance lease arrangement is entered into where considered necessary. In addition, the Group would also monitor the repayment history of finance lease payments from each finance lease lessee with reference to the repayment schedule from the date of finance lease was initially granted up to the reporting date to determine the recoverability of a finance lease receivable. Furthermore, the Group would assess and review the fair value of the pledged assets continuously to ensure the value of the relevant collateral could well cover the finance lease amount granted to the customers and any outstanding finance lease receivables.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group did not incur addition of property, plant and equipment (six months ended 30 June 2019: approximately HK$314,000).

CHARGES ON ASSETS

As at 30 June 2020, the Group does not have assets subjected to charges for securing obligations under finance lease (31 December 2019: Nil).

EMPLOYEE AND REMUNERATION POLICY

As at 30 June 2020, the Group has a total workforce of approximately 15 employees (31 December 2019: 17) in Hong Kong and the PRC. Remuneration policies of the Group and the current market condition with salaries and wages were being reviewed on an annual basis. The Group also provided discretionary bonus, medical insurance, training programs, social security and provident fund to the staff of the Group. Pursuant to the written resolution of the shareholders on 11 October 2011, the Company has adopted a share option scheme (the "Scheme") for the purpose of motivating eligible participants. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, no share options were granted by the Company since the adoption of the Scheme.

Hence, the Company does not rule out the possibility of investing capital assets or extending to other business as long as it is in the interest of the Company and the shareholders as a whole. Meanwhile, the Company does not preclude the possibility that the Company may implement debt and/or equity fund raising plan(s) to satisfy the financing needs arising out of any business development or investments of the Group as well as to improve its financial position in the event that suitable fund raising opportunities arise, as the Company has from time to time been approached by investors for potential investment projects.
