NOTES

• 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 29 March 2017 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and its shares (the "Shares") have been listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") with effect from 29 March 2018. As at 31 December 2020, its parent and ultimate holding company is Central Culture Resource Group Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") with limited liability and wholly-owned by Mr. Yu Zhuyun ("Mr. Yu"), the controlling shareholder of the Company.

  The Company's registered office address is Windward 3, Regatta Office Park, PO Box 1350, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands, and the Company's principal place of business in Hong Kong is Office 5509, 55th Floor, The Center, 99 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong. The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the business of (i) of foundation works and superstructure building works in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"); (ii) property development and investment; (iii) property management; (iv) trading of construction materials; (v) health and wellness; and (vi) smart logistic and information system in the PRC.

  The financial year end date of the Company and the Group has been changed from 31 March to 31 December to align the financial year end date of the Company with that of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the current accounting period covers a period of nine months from 1 April 2020 to 31 December 2020. The corresponding comparative amounts shown for the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and related notes cover a period of twelve months from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 are therefore not entirely comparable with those of the current period.

  The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$"), unless otherwise stated.

• 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the current period and prior year presented, unless otherwise stated.

  2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group 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 Main Board of the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as otherwise stated in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

2.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

(i)Amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current period

In the current 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 April 2020 for the preparation of the 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

The application of the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the amendments to HKFRSs in the current period had no material impact on the Group's financial positions and performance for the current period and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Group has early applied the Amendment to HKFRS 16 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions.

The Group has applied the amendment for the first time in the current period. The amendment introduces a new practical expedient for lessees to elect not to assess whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. The practical expedient only applies to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 that meets all of the following conditions:

• • the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

• • any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and

• • there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

A lessee applying the practical expedient accounts for changes in lease payments resulting from rent concessions the same way it would account for the changes applying HKFRS 16 Leases if the changes were not a lease modification. Forgiveness or waiver of lease payments are accounted for as variable lease payments. The related lease liabilities are adjusted to reflect the amounts forgiven or waived with a corresponding adjustment recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the event occurs.

The application of the amendment had no impact to the opening retained profits at 1 April 2020 and had no material impact on the Group's financial positions and performance for the current period.

(ii) New and amendments to HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective

The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

HKFRS 17	Insurance Contracts and the related
Amendments1
Amendments to HKFRS 3	Reference to the Conceptual Framework2
Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39,	Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 24
HKFRS 7, HKFRS 4 and HKFRS 16
Amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28	Sale or Contribution of Assets between an
Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture3
Amendments to HKAS 1	Classification of Liabilities as Current or
Non-current and related amendments to
Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020)1
Amendments to HKAS 16	Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds
before Intended Use2
Amendments to HKAS 37	Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a
Contract2
Amendments to HKFRSs	Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2018-20202

1	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
2	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
3	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
4	Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.

The Directors anticipate that the application of the above new and amendments to HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BUSINESS REVIEW

The Directors are of the view that the construction business environment in which the Group operates in Hong Kong has become tough and the Group's superstructure and construction gross profit and gross profit margin will continue to be under pressure from low bidding price on the tenders, which will in turn affect the business performance of the Group. Mr. Yu Zhuyun, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company will further leverage his personal background and management experience in various industries including real estate development, commercial property leasing, environmentally friendly construction, cultural and creative industries, smart logistics and trade development, as well as health and wellness industries in the PRC, to explore related business opportunities.

The Group considers the prospects of the PRC market promising. To further diversify the Group's source of income and to leverage the synergic advantages and resources of Central Culture Resource Group Limited, the Group is aiming to further expand its construction business in the PRC and explore in a diverse range of related businesses in the PRC, such as real estate development, commercial property leasing, environmentally friendly construction, cultural and creative business, property management, smart logistics and trade development, as well as health and wellness business.

The Group believes that the development of upstream and downstream related chain of businesses will bring synergy, effectiveness and greater customer satisfaction, as well as strengthen the revenue base of the Group.

Smart logistic and information system

Property development and investment properties business

Health and wellness Trading of construction materials

As at 31 December 2020, the Group has six main segments, which are (i) foundation works and superstructure building works, (ii) property development and investment properties business, (iii) property management services, (iv) trading of construction materials, (v) health and wellness services, and (vi) smart logistic and information system. We seek to achieve synergistic value amongst the segments in order to obtain higher returns and greater business opportunities.

Foundation works and superstructure building works

Facing the challenges including the increased competition, low bidding tender price and limited market potential in Hong Kong, the Group will be prudent in managing superstructure and construction business operations in Hong Kong. During the Reporting Period, the Group had further expanded its construction business in the PRC and exploring business opportunities outside Hong Kong in order to minimise possible exposure to the uncertainties in the Hong Kong market.

During the nine months ended 31 December 2020, the revenue from the superstructure and construction segment was approximately HK$189.0 million (year ended 31 March 2020: approximately HK$177.8 million), which accounted for approximately 50.6% (year ended 31 March 2020: approximately 98.6%) of the Group's total revenue. The increase was mainly due to addition construction and building works of Huai Yuan Project and Liquan Project in the PRC the during the Reporting Period.

Property development and investment properties business

Quzhou - Rural and wellness Project

As at 31 December 2020, the Group has a new development project in Quzhou City, Zhejiang, the PRC, comprising of hotel, condominium and bungalows with the theme of "Rural and Wellness Complex". The total site area of the project is approximately 27,920 sq.m. and the total gross floor area thereof is approximately 37,356 sq.m..

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

The Group's gross profit for the Reporting Period amounted to approximately HK$5.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 26.7% as compared to the Previous Reporting Year. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 and the increase in direct cost associated with the unexpected complexity arising from the Group's construction works in Hong Kong (the "Construction Works") during the Reporting Period. The complexity of the Construction Works involved, among others, (i) the discovery of additional underground utilities despite prior site inspection; and (ii) additional requirements in excavation and lateral support planning. As a result, the Construction Works have been prolonged and/or varied and the Group's direct cost increased.

Other Income and Net Gains

The Group's other income and net gains for the Reporting Period amounted to approximately HK$3.2 million, representing an decrease of approximately 25.6% compared with approximately HK$4.3 million for the Previous Reporting Year. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in machinery rental income of approximately HK$3 million during the Reporting Period.

Administrative and Other Operating Expenses

The Group's administrative and other operating expenses for the Reporting Period amounted to approximately HK$36.3 million, representing an increase of approximately 32.5% compared with approximately HK$27.4 million for the Previous Reporting Year. The increase was mainly due to the costs for the recruitment of new staff as a result of development of new business segments during the Reporting Period.

Income Tax Expense

The Group's income tax expense increased by approximately 114.3% from approximately HK$2.1 million for the Previous Reporting Year to approximately HK$4.5 million for the Reporting Period. Such increase was mainly due to the deferred tax expenses on land appreciation tax of investment property of approximately HK$3.5 million. However, such increase was partially offset by the decrease in gross profit for the Reporting Period.

Net Loss

The Group reported a net loss for the Reporting Period of approximately HK$652,000, while the Group reported a net loss of approximately HK$12.7 million for the Previous Reporting Year, the decrease in net loss is mainly attributable to the increase in gain on fair value changes of investment properties during the Reporting Period.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")

Non-HKFRS measures are to supplement the Group's financial results which are presented in accordance with HKFRSs. EBITDA is used as an additional financial measure. The Group believes that non-HKFRS measures provide useful information to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Group's consolidated results for the purpose of comparison across accounting periods and with those of our peer companies.

The following table sets forth the Group's non-HKFRSs financial data for the Reporting Period and the Previous Reporting Year:

Nine months

ended	Year ended
31 December	31 March
2020	2019
HK$'000	HK$'000
Loss for the Period/year	(652)	(12,687)

Finance costs	76	18
Taxation	4,529	2,137
Depreciation	3,473	2,974
EBITDA	7,318	(7,748)

EBITDA for the Reporting Period amounted to a profit of approximately HK$7.32 million, representing increase of 194.5% compared with a loss of approximately HK$7.75 million for the Previous Reporting Year.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

During the Reporting Period, the Group funded its liquidity and capital requirements primarily through capital contributions and cash inflow generated from operating activities.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$53.8 million (31 March 2020: approximately HK$114.5 million). The decrease was mainly due to the payment for the new development and investment properties project in Quzhou City, Zhejing, the PRC.

As at 31 December 2020, the share capital and equity attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$2.6 million and HK$159.7 million, respectively (31 March 2020: approximately HK$2.6 million and HK$160.7 million, respectively).

The current ratio decreased from 2.1 times as at 31 March 2020 to 1.2 times as at 31 December 2020 mainly due to increase in trade and other payables during the Reporting Period.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group mainly operates in Hong Kong and has commenced new operations in the PRC in 2020. Accordingly, all operating transactions and revenue are settled in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi, subjecting the Group to foreign exchange risk. The Group has actively taken various measures to manage foreign exchange risk since 2020.

Significant Investment, Material Acquisitions and Disposal of Subsidiaries and Associates Companies

On 10 November 2020, Central Bauhinia, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, entered into an agreement with HZ Property, pursuant to which Central Bauhinia conditionally agreed to acquire and HZ Property conditionally agreed to sell the entire equity interest in Anhui Zhong Gang Property Service Co. Ltd.* (the "Acquisition"). HZ property is an entity indirect wholly-owned by Mr. Yu, the controlling shareholder of the Group and therefore is a connected person of the Group. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Group under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The total consideration for the Acquisition (the "Consideration") is RMB3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.51 million). The Acquisition would enable the Group to expand business scale and market share in the property management services sector in the PRC. The Board is confident that the Acquisition will contribute positively to the Group by bringing in additional source of income and synergy with the existing business of property development and investment properties of the Group by the Acquisition.

As the Consideration is less than HK$10 million and all the applicable percentage ratios calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition are less than 25%, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the circular and shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14A.76 of the Listing Rules.

For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 10 November 2020.

Save as disclosed hereinabove, during the Reporting Period, the Group did not have any significant investments held or any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries or associated companies.

Total staff costs including Directors' emoluments, salaries, wages and other staff benefits, contributions and retirement schemes, provisions for staff long service payment and untaken paid leave for the Reporting Period amounted to approximately HK$30.1 million (the Previous Reporting Year: approximately HK$25.2 million). The remuneration policy and package of the Group's employees are periodically reviewed. Apart from mandatory provident fund and job training programs, salary increment and discretionary bonuses may be awarded to employees upon approval by the Board according to the Group's operating results, individual performance and market situation.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

The Group had no capital commitments as at 31 December 2020 and 31 March 2020.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Our subsidiaries are involved in a number of potential claims relating to employees' compensation cases and personal injuries claims as well as summonses for safety-related incidents in the ordinary course of business as at the date of this announcement. The Directors considered that the possibility of any outflow in settling (i) the potential personal injuries claims was remote as these claims were well covered by insurance; and (ii) the summonses will be insignificant to the business of the Group. Accordingly, no provision for the contingent liabilities in respect of the potential personal injuries claims and the summonses is necessary after due consideration of each case.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE LISTING

The Shares have been listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange since 29 March 2018 (the "Listing Date"). The total net proceeds (the "Net Proceeds") from the initial public offering amounted to approximately HK$73.5 million.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

The Company had applied the principles and all the applicable code provisions (the "Code Provisions") as set out under the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") contained in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules during the Reporting Period and up to the date of this announcement. The Directors will periodically review the Company's corporate governance policies and will propose any amendment, if necessary, to ensure compliance with the Code Provisions from time to time.

During the Reporting Period and up to the date of this announcement, the Company had complied with all the applicable Code Provisions of the CG Code, except for Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code as explained below:

Mr. Yu Zhuyun was appointed as the chief executive officer (the "CEO") with effect from 30 April 2020, and is currently serving as both the chairman of the Board (the "Chairman") and the CEO. Such practice deviates from Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both the Chairman and the CEO in the same person can facilitate the execution of the Group's business strategies and enhance its operational efficiency. The Board is currently comprised of two executive Directors, two non-executive Directors and three independent non-executive Directors, which is appropriately structured to ensure that there is a balance of power to provide sufficient checks to protect the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Therefore, the Board considers that the deviation from Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstance.

As at the date of this announcement, the total number of shares available for issue under the Share Option Scheme was 105,600,000 Shares, representing 10% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. No share option had been granted, exercised, cancelled or lapsed since the effective date of the Share Option Scheme and up to the date of this announcement.
