BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECT

REVIEW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2020

In the first half of 2020, the macro economy was exposed to constant pressure due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, "Houses are for living, not for speculation; and introducing policies aligning with local conditions to promote the stable operation of the property market" remained as the major policy keynotes in respect of the real estate industry from the central government. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to June in 2020, the sold area of the commercial housing was 694.04 million sq.m, down by 8.4% year-on-year, while the commercial housing sales amounted to RMB6,689.5 billion, down by 5.4% year-on-year. The total national commercial housing sales in January-February and March of 2020 fell 35.9% and 14.6% year-on-year respectively due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. As the resumption of work and production accelerated the return to normal sales activities following the gradual control of the COVID-19 pandemic, the year-on-year decline in sales in April of 2020 narrowed significantly to 5%, while sales in May and June of 2020 recorded positive year-on-year growth, with increases of approximately 14% and 9% respectively. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the national land transaction price of the real estate industry began to record year-on-year growth in March of 2020, and approximately RMB72.2 billion was recorded in April of 2020, a year-on-year increase of approximately 82.3%, which was the biggest increase among the months in the first half of the year.

According to the fixed asset investments data of January to June of 2020 released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the fixed asset investments in infrastructure from January to June 2020 decreased by 0.1% year-on-year, and the decline narrowed by 3.2 percentage points from the second half of 2019. The central government proposed to let central cities and city clusters play a leading role in cultivating industries and increase employment. With the support of huge application demand and national policies, new infrastructure construction has attracted wide attention. In the first half of 2020, various provinces rolled out infrastructure investment plans, introduced policies, accelerated the construction of major projects, speeded up the grant of project approvals, and encouraged the implementation of new investment projects, with a total investment of nearly RMB34 trillion.

The Group is mainly engaged in two business segments, including property development business and construction contracting business. During the Reporting Period, the revenue of the Group was approximately RMB1,340 million, representing an increase of approximately 101.8% as compared with the corresponding period of last year; and the Group achieved net profit attributable to the Group of approximately RMB128 million, representing an increase of approximately 127.0% as compared with the corresponding period of last year.

  1. The property development business
    During the Reporting Period, the sales income of the property development business of the Group was approximately RMB661 million. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Group had land reserves with a total gross floor area ("GFA") of approximately 1,975,000 sq.m. (100% of GFA of land reserve was owned by the Group), representing an increase of 22.9% as compared with approximately 1,606,000 sq.m. as of December 31, 2019, which provides sufficient support for future development.
  2. The construction contracting business
    During the Reporting Period, the contract income of the construction contracting business of the Group was approximately RMB679 million. New contracts were valued at approximately RMB337 million while the value of backlog amounted to approximately RMB3,349 million, representing an increase of 75% as compared with approximately RMB1,912 million for the corresponding period of last year.
    Currently, the construction contracting business of the Group has established footprint in 15 provinces in China and has set up new offices in Shandong Province, Anhui Province and Sichuan Province.

Interim Report 2020 5

BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECT

OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2020

Looking forward to the second half of 2020, the central government will adhere to the positioning of "houses are for living, not for speculation", and will continue to focus on "stabilization" in the regulation and control policy of the property market, so as to achieve the annual goal of stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations. The monetary policy will continue to be loose, but the financial supervision on the real estate sector will remain strict. Local governments will continue to implement policies depending on their own actual situations. The focus of real estate investments will be the core cities of the first-, second- and third-tier metropolitan areas where housing demand is supported by the long-term economic development, while the overall sales growth trend of real estate companies will be sustained through the continuous demand for housing improvement, and products will continue to be iteratively upgraded.

Currently, the process of urbanization in China has entered into its mid-late phase, and the outline of urban agglomerations as the main form of new urbanization will be clearer. With the construction of urban agglomerations and central cities, the demand for huge digital infrastructure applications will become more prominent. The construction of new areas in first- and second-tier cities and the development of mega-industrial towns and new infrastructure will bring new opportunities to the development of the construction industry.

In the second half of 2020, the Group will continue to adhere to the expansion strategy of "construction first and property development to follow", and fully utilise the synergies between property development and construction contracting. As for the property development, the Group will focus on the development of high-quality land resources in metropolitan cities and satellite cities, as well as, expand commercial complexes. In the area of construction contracting business, the Group will constantly improve the qualifications of its infrastructure segment, develop engineering technology and information technology, and establish a sound information system, to seize key infrastructure projects, enlarge and strengthen its historic building business, and steadily increase its market share and the revenue from construction contracting business.

The Group consolidates our brand by developing high-end quality projects and safeguards our brand with construction projects of excellent quality, to make concerted efforts in construction and development, our two prime businesses. Meanwhile, guided by our mechanism and culture, the Group establishes a team of talents with high efficiency, so as to create a "service + quality" cultural system and facilitate collaborative development of two major businesses.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Group undertook most of such construction projects as a general contractor during the Reporting Period. As a general contractor, the Group performs all major aspects of the construction project, including building construction, foundation works, curtain wall construction, building decoration and fireproofing projects. The Group is also responsible for engaging subcontractors to provide construction services and the labor force for the construction projects, coordinating the work of all parties, providing the major equipment and machinery, procuring raw materials and ensuring the timely completion of construction projects. The Group believes undertaking construction projects as a general contractor reflects its overall capabilities and is significant to the Group's continued success. Having obtained the Premium Class Certificate in 2017, the Group is, and expect to continue to be able to, undertake larger-scale building construction projects with increased complexity and higher returns nationwide, as well as charge a premium rate for the Group's services.

In addition to construction contracting as a general contractor, the Group also undertakes specialised construction projects directly subcontracted by other general contractors or project owners, such as renovation and decoration, steel structure construction and curtain wall construction projects.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL REVIEW

  1. Revenue
    The revenue of the Group was primarily derived from two business segments: (i) property development business and (ii) construction contracting business. Total revenue increased from approximately RMB664 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB1,340 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing an increase of 101.8%.
    1. Property development business
      The Group's revenue from property development business comprises sales of properties and rental income. Revenue from sales of properties is recognised only after properties have been sold to purchasers and after satisfying the requirements for delivery as stipulated in the purchase agreements. Consistent with industry practice, the Group usually enters into purchase agreements with purchasers while the properties are under development and fulfill the conditions for presales in accordance with PRC laws and regulations.
      The aggregate GFA delivered increased from 42,595 sq.m. for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 116,758 sq.m. for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the recognised revenue increased from approximately RMB335 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB656 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The above increments were primarily attributable to the completion and delivery of Tianbao Green City, Tianbao New City Phase III and Fuxinyuan to purchasers in the first half of 2020, of which Tianbao Green City was sold at a higher ASP.
      The rental income of the Group was primarily derived from lease of commercial investment properties. The Group holds these commercial investment properties for capital appreciation and leases them to generate rental income. As of June 30, 2020, the Group held one commercial investment property, Baoxin International Building, which had a rentable GFA of 44,336.1 sq.m..
    2. Construction contracting business
      The revenue of the Group's construction contracting business was primarily derived from the provision of construction contracting services mainly as a general contractor for building construction projects, and industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction projects.
      The overall increase in the revenue from the Group's construction contracting business was primarily attributable to increased revenue from building construction and industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction projects due to an increase in project volume and scale of such construction projects.
  2. Cost of sales
    The Group's costs of sales primarily represent the costs the Group incurs for the property development and sales as well as construction contracting service the Group rendered. The cost for property development business primarily includes land costs, construction costs and rent costs. The cost for construction contracting services primarily includes labor costs, raw material costs, machinery costs, subcontracting costs and other costs.
    The Group's cost of sales increased from approximately RMB506 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB1,042 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing an increase of 106.2%, which was in line with the growth of property development business and construction contracting business of the Group.

Interim Report 2020 15

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

  1. Gross profit and gross profit margin
    The Group's gross profit increased from approximately RMB159 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB298 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and its gross profit margin decreased slightly from 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Group's gross profit was primarily derived from property development business, its gross profit margin remained stable at approximately 40% for both six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. During the Reporting Period, Tianbao Green City and Tianbao New City Phase III were completed and delivered to purchasers, the gross profit margin of these projects reached 50.2%. The gross profit margin of the construction contracting business remained stable at approximately 5.1%.
  2. Selling and distribution expenses
    The Group's selling and distribution expenses primarily consist of (i) advertising, marketing and business development expenses, and (ii) staff costs in relation to our sales personnel.
    The Group's selling and distribution expenses increased from approximately RMB2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was due to the increased selling and marketing activities of property projects.
  3. Administrative expenses
    The Group's administrative expenses primarily consist of staff costs in relation to the Group's administrative personnel, office expenses, depreciation and amortization, travelling and entertainment expenses and other expenses.
    The Group's administrative expenses increased by 11.4% from approximately RMB32 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was mainly due to the business expansion of the Group and the rise of staff costs resulting from an increase in the number of staff. Among the administrative expenses of approximately RMB36 million, staff costs (including Directors' remuneration) amounted to approximately RMB18 million (for the six months ended June 30, 2019: approximately RMB10 million).
  4. Finance costs
    The Group's finance costs primarily represent interest expenses on bank loans less the capitalized cost of interest on relevant loans incurred for property development.
    The Group's finance costs increased from approximately RMB10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to approximately RMB21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was mainly due to the fact that a large portion of the interest expenses incurred from the loans raised were not capitalized to property development projects during the Reporting Period.

Contingent Liabilities

Mortgage guarantee

The Group has provided guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities for certain purchasers of the Group's properties amounting to approximately RMB1,518 million as at June 30, 2020 (as of June 30, 2019: approximately RMB1,251 million). The Group's guarantee period starts from the dates of the grant of relevant mortgage loans and ends upon the issuance of real estate ownership certificates to the purchasers, which will generally be available within one to two years after the purchasers take possession of the relevant properties.

The Directors consider that the fair value of the guarantees is not significant, and in case of default on payments, the net realisable value of the related properties can cover the repayment of the outstanding mortgage principals together with the accrued interest and penalties. Therefore, no provision for the guarantees has been made during the Reporting Period.

Interim Report 2020 19

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Legal Contingents

In March 2016, a claim was brought against the Group by an individual, seeking RMB14.1 million in payment arising from construction work subcontracted from the Group. The claim arose because the plaintiff alleged that the Group failed to pay the full amount in time. The case was dismissed by the Intermediate People's Court of Baoding, Hebei Province and remitted to retrial by the People's Court of Zhuozhou, Hebei Province as at the date of this report. Based on the legal advice of the defense counsel for this legal proceeding, the Directors believe that the plaintiff's claim for damages is without merit. Accordingly, no provisions are made in this regard based on the Directors' estimation and assessment.

The total consideration was RMB246,276,000, and the term of the land use right is 40 years and will be used for other commercial service purpose. The proposed construction project of the land parcel, whose name is Tianbao Smart Building Technology Park Project with the total planned GFA of approximately 310,000 sq.m., shall commence before October 1, 2020 and be completed before September 30, 2023.

  1. Foreign currency risk
    The Group primarily operates in the PRC. The majority of the Group's transactions were denominated and settled in RMB. Currently, the Group has not entered into any hedging activities aimed at or intended to manage our exposure to foreign exchange risk and did not use any financial instruments for hedging purposes. The Group will continue to monitor foreign exchange activities and safeguard the cash value of the Group with its best effort.
  2. Interest rate risk
    The Group's interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing bank deposits and bank borrowings. Bank deposits and bank borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Bank borrowings bearing an interest at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As at June 30, 2020, the Group has provided guarantees in respect of mortgage facilities for certain purchasers of the Group's properties amounting to approximately RMB1,518 million (June 30, 2019: RMB1,251 million).

The Group's guarantee period starts from the dates of grant of the relevant mortgage loans and ends upon the issuance of real estate ownership certificates to the purchasers, which will generally be available within one to two years after the purchasers take possession of the relevant properties.

The Directors consider that the fair value of the guarantees is not significant, and in case of default on payments, the net realisable value of the related properties can cover the repayment of the outstanding mortgage principals together with the accrued interest and penalties. Therefore, no provision for the guarantees has been made during the six months ended June 30, 2020

Furthermore, in March 2016, a claim was brought against the Group by an individual, seeking RMB14.1 million in payment arising from construction work subcontracted from the Group. The claim arose because the plaintiff alleged that the Group failed to pay the full amount in time. The case was dismissed by the Intermediate People's Court of Baoding, Hebei Province and remitted to retrial by the People's Court of Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, as at the date of this report. Based on the legal advice of the defense counsel for this legal proceeding, the directors believe that the plaintiff's claim for damages are without merit. Accordingly, no provisions are provided in this regard based on the Directors' estimation and assessment.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, trade receivables, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets, trade payables and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Group's management is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. At each reporting date, management analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation process and results are discussed with the audit committee twice a year for interim and annual financial reporting.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020

19. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(Continued)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss represented the listed equity investments, and their fair values are based on quoted market prices.

As at June 30, 2020, the fair values of unlisted equity investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income have been estimated using a market-based valuation technique based on assumptions that are not supported by observable market prices or rates. The valuation requires the directors to determine comparable public companies (peers) based on industry, size, leverage and strategy, and to calculate an appropriate price multiple, such as enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ("EV/EBITDA") multiple and price to earnings ("P/E") multiple, for each comparable company identified. The multiple is calculated by dividing the enterprise value of the comparable company by an earnings measure. The trading multiple is then discounted for considerations such as liquidity and size differences between the comparable companies based on company-specific facts and circumstances. The discounted multiple is applied to the corresponding earnings measure of the unlisted equity investments to measure the fair value. The Directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation technique, which are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in other comprehensive income, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period.

As at December 31, 2019, for the fair values of unlisted equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, management has estimated the potential effect of using reasonably possible alternatives as inputs to the valuation model and used recent transaction method. The Directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from recent transaction, which are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in other comprehensive income, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values.

The fair values of interest-bearing bank borrowings have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The Group's own non-performance risk for interest-bearing bank borrowings as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was assessed to be insignificant.
