Tianjin Development Holdings Limited Interim Report 2020 11

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") as well as with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
    The financial information relating to the year ended 31 December 2019 that is included in these condensed consolidated financial statements as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that year but is derived from those consolidated financial statements. Further information relating to these statutory financial statements is as follows:
    The Company has delivered the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 to the Registrar of Companies as required by section 662(3) of, and Part 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
    The Company's auditor has reported on those consolidated financial statements. The auditor's report was unqualified; did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying its report; and did not contain a statement under sections 406(2), 407(2) or (3) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
  2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The condensed 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, as appropriate.
    Other than changes in accounting policies resulting from application of new and amendments to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), the accounting policies and methods of computation used in these 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.

12

Tianjin Development Holdings Limited Interim Report 2020

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Application of new and amendments to HKFRSs

In the current interim period, the Group has applied the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, for the first time, which are mandatorily 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 HKAS 1 and HKAS 8

Definition of Material

Amendments to HKFRS 3

Definition of a Business

Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

HKFRS 7

Except as described below, the application of the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the 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.

Impacts of application on Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 "Definition of Material"

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity."

The amendments also clarify that materiality depends on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.

The application of the amendments in the current period had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Changes in presentation and disclosures on the application of the amendments, if any, will be reflected on the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020.

Tianjin Development Holdings Limited Interim Report 2020 13

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS
    Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Other than those disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, the judgments and the key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated financial statements are discussed below.
    The Group's utilities business receives government supplemental income from the Finance Bureau of Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (the "TEDA Finance Bureau") on an annual basis whereby the amount of such income will be negotiated between the Group and the TEDA Finance Bureau and the outcome of the negotiation will only be finalised and known after the end of the financial year. For the purpose of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group, after discussion with the TEDA Finance Bureau, has recognised an amount of such government supplemental income for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (Note 4 (i)) based on management's assessment of the current governmental, fiscal and economic policies in the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (the "TEDA") and with reference to the Group's operating results in this segment. While the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the government supplemental income for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is reasonable and represents the best estimate of the Group's entitlement after taking all relevant factors into account, it may be different from the actual amount that will be finally determined and agreed with the TEDA Finance Bureau and subsequent adjustment may be necessary.
  2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
    Following the outbreak of novel coronavirus (the "Coronavirus") in early 2020, precautionary and control measures including travel restrictions, quarantine and temporary delays in resumption of work have been taken across the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The ongoing Coronavirus outbreak in the PRC and beyond has brought about additional uncertainties in the Group's operating environment and has impacted the Group's operations and financial performance for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
    As the overall impact of the Coronavirus outbreak is still unfolding, the Group has taken the necessary actions to minimise the disruptions to its operations and will continue to carefully monitor the situation and proactively implement measures to mitigate the impact to the Group's operations.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

The Group determines its operating segments based on the reports that are used to make strategic decisions and reviewed by the chief operating decision-makers (the "CODM"). The CODM assess the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of profit after tax.

The Group has six reportable segments. The segments are managed separately as each business offers different products and services. The following summary describes the operation in each of the Group's reportable segments.

  1. Utilities
    This segment derives revenue from distribution of water, heat and thermal power to industrial, commercial and residential customers in the TEDA, the PRC, while the result of electricity business of this segment is contributed by Tianjin TEDA Electric Power Co., Ltd. (天津泰達電力有限公司) ("TEDA Power"), an investment accounted for using the equity method of the Group.
  2. Pharmaceutical
    This segment derives revenue from manufacture and sales of pharmaceutical products as well as design, manufacture and printing for pharmaceutical packaging in the PRC, while the result of the provision of pharmaceutical research and development services of this segment is contributed by Tianjin Institute of Pharmaceutical Research Co., Ltd. (天津藥物研究院有限公司) ("Research Institute"), an investment accounted for using the equity method of the Group.
  3. Hotel
    This segment derives revenue from operation of a hotel in Hong Kong.
  4. Electrical and mechanical
    This segment derives revenue from manufacture and sales of presses, mechanical and hydroelectric equipment as well as large scale pump units.
  5. Port services
    The result of this segment is contributed by a listed investment accounted for using the equity method of the Group, Tianjin Port Development Holdings Limited ("Tianjin Port"), which provides port services in Tianjin.
  6. Elevators and escalators
    The result of this segment is contributed by an investment accounted for using the equity method of the Group, Otis Elevator (China) Investment Company Limited ("Otis China"), which manufactures and sells elevators and escalators.

Profit for the period

notes:

  1. Revenue from supply of water, heat and thermal power amounted to HK$127,226,000 and HK$550,010,000 respectively (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$166,526,000 and HK$579,705,000 respectively).
    The above revenue included government supplemental income of HK$93,520,000 (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$90,173,000).
  2. These principally include (a) results of the Group's other non-core businesses which are not categorised as reportable segments; and (b) corporate level activities including central treasury management, administrative function and exchange gain or loss.
  3. For the purposes of impairment testing, non-current assets including property, plant and equipment and land use rights have been allocated to the respective cash-generating units ("CGUs"), which operate under the electrical and mechanical segment. The basis of the recoverable amount of the respective CGUs and their major underlying assumptions were summarised below:
    As at 30 June 2020, the recoverable amount of the respective CGUs which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal, is determined from value in use calculation. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on the most recent financial budgets provided by the management for the coming five years and discount rate ranging from 8% to 9% (31 December 2019: 8%). The cash flows beyond the budget years are extrapolated using a steady 3% (31 December 2019: 3%) growth rate. Another key assumption for the value in use calculation related to the estimation of cash inflows which include budgeted sales and gross margins, such estimation is based on the respective CGUs' past performance and the management's expectations of the market development.
    During the current interim period, the management of the Group did not recognise any impairment loss on property, plant and equipment (six months ended 30 June 2019: recognised an impairment loss of HK$60,005,000) based on such assessments to one of the CGUs under the electrical and mechanical segment.

The consideration was determined with reference to the appraised net asset value of Heavenly Palace and the dividend receivable by the Company in an aggregate sum of RMB149,955,090 (equivalent to approximately HK$162,994,663) payable by Heavenly Palace. The assets and liabilities attributable to Heavenly Palace and its investments accounted for using the equity method, which is expected to be sold within twelve months, have been classified as a disposal group held for sale and are presented separately in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position. As Heavenly Palace does not represent a major line of business or geographical area of operation, the Disposal does not constitute a discontinued operation. The net proceeds of the Disposal are expected to exceed the net carrying amount of the relevant assets and liabilities and accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognised. The Disposal has been approved by the shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting held on 17 August 2020. Upon completion of the Disposal, Heavenly Palace ceased to be a subsidiary of the Group thereafter.
    The major classes of assets and liabilities of Heavenly Palace classified as held for sale are as follows:

There has been no change from the valuation technique used in the prior year. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, a decrease in fair value of investment properties of HK$9,934,000 was recognised (six months ended 30 June 2019: Nil).

22. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value of the Group's financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Some of the Group's financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used), as well as the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised (Levels 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Some of the Group's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. Management of the Group is responsible for determination of the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. The Group uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data to estimate the fair value of certain types of financial instruments.

Detailed information about the valuation techniques, inputs and key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed above.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
    Fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
    The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of trade receivables, notes receivables, other receivables, restricted bank balances, time deposits with maturity over three months, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables, notes payables, other payables, short-term bank borrowings and balances with investments accounted for using the equity method, ultimate holding company and related companies that are recorded at amortised cost in these condensed consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
    The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis.
  2. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
    The Group is controlled by Tsinlien Group Company Limited ("Tsinlien"), which owns approximately 62.81% (31 December 2019: approximately 62.81%) of the Company's shares as at 30 June 2020. The remaining approximately 37.19% (31 December 2019: approximately 37.19%) of the Company's shares are widely held.
    Tsinlien is a state-owned enterprise and ultimately controlled by Tianjin Municipal People's Government of the PRC. In accordance with HKAS 24 (Revised) "Related Party Disclosures", entities directly or indirectly controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the PRC government are defined as related parties of the Group. On that basis, related parties include Tsinlien, its subsidiaries and associates, other state- owned enterprises and their subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the PRC government, and other entities and corporations in which the Company is able to exercise joint control or significant influence, and key management personnel of the Company and Tsinlien as well as their close family members.
    During the current interim period, except for the government supplemental income, the Group's significant transactions with entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the PRC government (the "other government-related entities") mainly include majority of its cash at banks and time deposits in banks and the corresponding interest income and part of sales and purchases of goods and services (such as purchase of utilities including electricity and water and sales of pharmaceutical products which constituted the majority of the Group's purchases and sales). The price and other terms of such transactions are set out in the agreements governing these transactions or as mutually agreed, as appropriate.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Utilities

The Group's utility businesses are mainly operated in the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area ("TEDA") through supplying water, heat and thermal power as well as electricity to industrial, commercial and residential customers.

TEDA, located at the centre of Bohai economic rim and also at the intersection of Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan regions, is a national development zone and an ideal place for manufacturing and R&D developments. TEDA plays a leading role over the past three decades in Tianjin's economic development.

Water

Tianjin TEDA Tsinlien Water Supply Co., Ltd. ("Water Company") is principally engaged in supply of tap water in TEDA. It is also engaged in installation and maintenance of water pipes, technical consultancy, retail and wholesale of water pipes and related parts. The daily water supply capacity of the Water Company is approximately 425,000 tonnes.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, revenue from the Water Company declined by HK$39.3 million compared with that of the same period last year to approximately HK$127.2 million. Profit increased from HK$6.3 million in the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$9.8 million in the six months ended 30 June 2020, primarily attributable to lower operating costs and higher interest income, partially offset by the lower volumes of water sold during the period. The total quantity of water sold for the period was approximately 21,089,000 tonnes, a decline of 18% over the same period last year.

Heat and Thermal Power

Tianjin TEDA Tsinlien Heat & Power Co., Ltd. ("Heat & Power Company") is principally engaged in distribution of steam and heat for industrial, commercial and residential customers within TEDA. The Heat & Power Company has steam transmission pipelines of approximately 462 kilometres and more than 120 processing stations in TEDA. The daily distribution capacity is approximately 30,000 tonnes of steam.

During the period under review, revenue from the Heat & Power Company was approximately HK$550 million, a 5.1% below that of the same period last year. Profit increased from HK$23.1 million in the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$29.4 million in the six months ended 30 June 2020. The result was mainly attributable to increase in ancillary services income and higher interest income, partly offset by lower volumes of steam sold during the period. The total quantity of steam sold for the period was approximately 2,004,000 tonnes, a decrease of 3.5% over the same period last year.

In December 2018, pursuant to an absorption and merger agreement dated 6 December 2018 entered into between Tianjin TEDA Tsinlien Electric Power Co., Ltd.

(天津泰達電力有限公司) ("TEDA Power"), TEDA Power absorbed and merged with Electricity Company while TEDA Power was the surviving company upon completion of the merger and assumed all the assets, liabilities and business operations of Electricity Company which was subsequently dissolved and deregistered (the "Merger").

(天津泰達投資控股有限公司), and became an investment accounted for using the equity method of the Group thereafter. As a result of the Merger, the Group recognised a gain, together with the result from Electricity Company up to the date of Merger, amounted in aggregate to approximately HK$134.6 million, which has been disclosed and presented as profit from Electricity Business in the Group's condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Profit from pharmaceutical segment was approximately HK$62.9 million compared to HK$112.7 million in the same period last year. The results was primarily due to lower revenue from sale of pharmaceutical products due to weaker demand as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (the "Coronavirus") at the beginning of the year and the increasingly fierce competition in the pharmaceutical industry arising from gradual implementation of centralised drug procurement program, partially offset by lower of selling and distribution expenses as well as general and administrative expenses.

Electrical and Mechanical

Electrical and mechanical segment is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of presses, mechanical and hydroelectric equipment as well as large scale pump units in the PRC.

Loss from electrical and mechanical segment was approximately HK$100 million compared to a loss of HK$97 million in the same period last year. The segment loss stemmed from lower revenue due to the slowdown in the sector as a result of the outbreak of Coronavirus during the period under review.

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

TIANJIN DEVELOPMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED 天津發展控股有限公司

(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Tianjin Development Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 5 to 40, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("HKAS 34") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the HKICPA. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.
