  • 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Our Group's trading terms for rendering property management and value-added services with its customers are mainly payment in advance. The trading terms for property engineering services, club house services, including catering and ancillary services and ancillary food supply services are mainly on credit and the credit period is generally within 30 days. Our Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the fact that our Group's trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. Our Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.

Included in trade receivables are amounts due from related parties of RMB34,426,000 as at 31 December 2020 (2019: RMB14,088,000).

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Our Group plans to strengthen our position in the property management service industry by implementing the following strategies: (i) undertake additional property management projects with a focus on mid to high-end non-residential properties; (ii) selectively pursue merger and acquisition opportunities within the property management industry; (iii) participate in an early stage of construction projects with a view to winning the property management agreement tender at a later stage of the projects; (iv) continue to develop our mobile application to enhance our customer and user experience; (v) continue to enhance our property management services and property engineering services; and (vi) continue to upgrade our information technology systems to enhance our operational efficiency in our property management business.

In view of the intensifying competition in the property management services industry amidst the uncertain economic outlook due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Group intends to adjust its business strategies to diversify its portfolio of pipeline properties and consider undertaking engagements to provide property management and value-added services to mid to high-end residential properties by means of mergers and acquisitions of property management services providers or project companies or submitting tenders or quotations for provision of property management services with a focus on residential properties. The Directors believes that such diversification will enable our Group to optimize its overall operational efficiency to achieve a sustainable growth and maximize returns to Shareholders.
