NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended December 31, 2020
1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION
China Tianbao Group Development Company Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The registered office address of the Company is Windward 3, Regatta Office Park, PO Box 1350, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands. The principal place of business in Hong Kong was located at Unit 3326, 33/F, China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. The Company's shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
The Group is mainly engaged in (i) provision of construction contracting and (ii) property development and others.
In the opinion of the directors, the holding company and the ultimate holding company of the Company is Jixiang International Industrial Company Limited, which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investment properties and equity investments which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the following revised IFRSs for the first time for the current year's financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 3
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7
Amendment to IFRS 16
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8
Definition of a Business
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (early adopted) Definition of Material
The nature and the impact of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the revised IFRSs are described below:
(a) Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 (the "Conceptual Framework") sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting and standard setting, and provides guidance for preparers of financial statements in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The Conceptual Framework includes new chapters on measurement and reporting financial performance, new guidance on the derecognition of assets and liabilities, and updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. It also clarifies the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The Conceptual Framework did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
(b) Amendments to IFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after January 1, 2020. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
(c) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 address issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative risk-free rate ("RFR"). The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the introduction of the alternative RFR. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group as the Group does not have any interest rate hedging relationships.
(d) Amendment to IFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the pandemic and only if (i)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; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021; and (iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted and shall be applied retrospectively. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
(e) Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that 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. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, or both. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
2.3
ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRSs
The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 3 | Reference to the Conceptual Framework2 |
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform- Phase 21 |

Amendments to IAS 37 | Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract2 |
Annual Improvements to IFRSs | Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, Illustrative Examples |
2018-2020 | accompanying IFRS 16, and IAS 412 |
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023
4 No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption
5 As a consequence of the amendments to IAS 1, International Interpretation 5 Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification by the Borrower of a Term Loan that Contains a Repayment on Demand Clause was revised in October 2020 to align the corresponding wording with no change in conclusion
6 As a consequence of the amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, IFRS 4 was amended to extend the temporary exemption that permits insurers to apply IAS 39 rather than IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning before January 1,
2023
Further information about those IFRSs that are expected to be applicable to the Group is described below.
Amendments to IFRS 3 are intended to replace a reference to the previous Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in June 2018 without significantly changing its requirements. The amendments also add to IFRS 3 an exception to its recognition principle for an entity to refer to the Conceptual Framework to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability. The exception specifies that, for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 if they were incurred separately rather than assumed in a business combination, an entity applying IFRS 3 should refer to IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 respectively instead of the Conceptual Framework. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date. The Group expects to adopt the amendments prospectively from January 1, 2022. Since the amendments apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the date of first application, the Group will not be affected by these amendments on the date of transition.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 address issues not dealt with in the previous amendments which affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative RFR. The Phase 2 amendments provide a practical expedient to allow the effective interest rate to be updated without adjusting the carrying amount when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, if the change is a direct consequence of the interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis immediately preceding the change. In addition, the amendments permit changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Any gains or losses that could arise on transition are dealt with through the normal requirements of IFRS 9 to measure and recognise hedge ineffectiveness. The amendments also provide a temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR is designated as a risk component. The relief allows an entity, upon designation of the hedge, to assume that the separately identifiable requirement is met, provided the entity reasonably expects the RFR risk component to become separately identifiable within the next 24 months. Furthermore, the amendments require an entity to disclose additional information to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity's financial instruments and risk management strategy. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 and shall be applied retrospectively, but entities are not required to restate the comparative information. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (2011) address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and in IAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require a full recognition of a gain or loss when the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture constitutes a business. For a transaction involving assets that do not constitute a business, a gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognised in the investor's profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor's interest in that associate or joint venture. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The previous mandatory effective date of amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (2011) was removed by the HKICPA in January 2016 and a new mandatory effective date will be determined after the completion of a broader review of accounting for associates and joint ventures.
However, the amendments are available for adoption now.
Amendments to IAS 1 clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments specify that if an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with specified conditions, the entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability at the end of the reporting period if it complies with those conditions at that date. Classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability. The amendments also clarify the situations that are considered a settlement of a liability. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and shall be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 16 prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling any such items, and the cost of those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and shall be applied retrospectively only to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 37 clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous under IAS 37, the cost of fulfilling the contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract include both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (e.g., direct labour and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling that contract (e.g., an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract as well as contract management and supervision costs). General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and shall be applied to contracts for which an entity has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments. Earlier application is permitted. Any cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognised as an adjustment to the opening equity at the date of initial application without restating the comparative information. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 sets out amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16, and IAS 41. Details of the amendments that are expected to be applicable to the Group are as follows:
•
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other's behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
•
IFRS 16 Leases: removes the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements in Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16. This removes potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives when applying IFRS 16.
3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has two reportable operating segments as follows:
(a) Construction contracting - this segment engages in the provision of services relating to construction as a general contractor for building construction projects, infrastructure construction projects and property investment; and
(b) Property development and others - this segment engages in the sale of properties and the provision of services relating to properties.
Management monitors the results of the Group's operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/loss, which is a measure of profit before tax from continuing operations.
Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Group is a property developer and construction company based in Zhuozhou, a city in Hebei Province, the PRC. The Group engages in a wide range of property development activities, such as planning and design, construction, property sales, investment and operations.
The Group principally engages in the following businesses:
• Property development business. As a property developer, the Group focuses primarily on the development and sales of residential properties, and leasing and operation of an investment property.
• Construction contracting business. As a construction company, the Group provides construction contracting services mainly as a general contractor for building construction projects, infrastructure construction projects, and industrial and commercial construction projects.
Financial Results
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group's revenue and net profit were approximately RMB3,369 million (2019: RMB2,660 million) and approximately RMB332 million (2019: RMB318 million), respectively.
Business Review
The Group's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by 26.7% to approximately RMB3,369 million (2019: RMB2,660 million). The increase in revenue was mainly due to the facts that more sales were recognized after the completion of the property sales, resulting in an increase in the sales revenue of the property development business; and the construction contracting business completed more projects and both project volume and project scale increased, resulting in an increase in the revenue of this segment.
During the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, mass gatherings were prohibited, thus restricting the business trips of our business development staff to a certain extent. The number of new contracts signed in the construction contracting business had been affected, while the implementation and approval of the projects by clients has also been delayed. The Group had implemented additional pandemic prevention measures to various projects, which resulted in a slight increase in costs and has no significant impact on the net profit during the year.
The Group's net profit was approximately RMB332 million (2019: RMB318 million), an increase of 4.4% from last year, mainly due to an increase in the total revenue from the property development business and the construction contracting business this year, no listing expense was incurred in 2020, as well as, the decrease in income tax expense.
As at December 31, 2020, the net assets of the Group were approximately RMB1,316 million (2019: RMB1,087 million). The Group has bank deposits of approximately RMB449 million (2019: RMB452 million) and total bank loans of approximately RMB580 million (2019: RMB789 million). At December 31, 2020, the net debt (total borrowings minus bank deposits) of the Group was approximately RMB131 million (2019: RMB337 million). The Group's net assets and net debt have significantly improved compared to the corresponding period last year. The above financial indicators showed that the Group's financial position remained healthy.

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 RMB2,660 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB3,369 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of 26.7%.
1.1 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 approximately 178,000 sq.m. for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately 222,000 sq.m. for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the recognised revenue increased from approximately RMB1,285 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB1,427 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The above increments were primarily attributable to the completion and delivery of Tianbao Green City, Tianbao New City Phase III, Fuxinyuan in Zhangbei County and Project Ming Yang Phase I to purchasers during the year.
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 December 31, 2020, the Group held one commercial investment property, Baoxin International Building, which had a rentable GFA of 44,336.1 sq.m..
1.2 Construction contracting business
The revenue of the Group's construction contracting business was primarily derived from the construction contracting services provided by the general contractors of building construction projects, infrastructure construction projects and industrial and commercial 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 cost of sales primarily represents the costs which the Group incurs for the property development and sales as well as construction contracting services the Group rendered. The costs for property development business primarily include land costs, construction costs and rent costs. The costs for construction contracting business primarily include labor costs, raw material costs, machinery costs, subcontracting costs and other costs.
The Group's cost of sales increased from approximately RMB1,978 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB2,741 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of 38.6%, which was in line with the growth of property development business and construction contracting business of the Group.

The Group's gross profit decreased slightly from approximately RMB682 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB628 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of 8%, which was primarily attributable to the decrease in gross profit of the Group's property development business from approximately RMB610 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB534 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Group's gross profit margin decreased from 25.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 18.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Among the projects that have been delivered to the purchasers during the year, Zhangbei Fuxinyuan and Tianbao New City Phase III have delivered an area of approximately 150,000 s.q.m. with low average selling prices and low gross profit margins, resulting in the decrease in gross profit margin of the Group's property development business from 47.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 37.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The gross profit margin of the construction contracting business remained relatively stable at 4.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019: 5.3%).
4. Other income and gains
The Group's other income and gains increased by 92.5% from approximately RMB13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to the receipt of government funding of approximately RMB11.5 million (2019: Nil) and the dividend income received from equity investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income of approximately RMB9.7 million (2019: RMB10.8 million).
5. 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 salespersons.
The Group's selling and distribution expenses decreased by 63.6% from approximately RMB3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Most of the selling and distribution expenses were capitalized to property development projects during the year.
6. 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, traveling and other expenses.
The Group's administrative expenses decreased by 28.7% from approximately RMB78.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB55.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The administrative expenses in 2019 included the listing expense of approximately RMB29.2 million, while we did not incur such expense in 2020. Other administrative expenses include staff costs (including directors' remuneration) of approximately RMB29.6 million (2019: RMB24.7 million), which was mainly due to the business expansion of the Group and an increase in the number of staff, thus a rise of staff costs.
7. Impairment losses on financial assets and contract assets, net
The Group performs an impairment analysis as of December 31, 2020 using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses ("ECLs"). The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure ECLs.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group's net impairment losses on financial assets amounted to approximately RMB40.1 million (2019: RMB24.3 million), primarily due to the amount of financial assets that the Group considered not recoverable based on the ECLs analysis performed.
8. Fair value loss/gain on investment properties
Baoxin International Building, the Group's investment property, is located in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, the PRC, and is held by the Group as long run investment to generate rental income.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group recorded fair value loss on investment properties of approximately RMB0.7 million (2019: gain of RMB4.7 million), which was mainly due to the slight decrease in fair value of investment properties.
9. 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 by 72.9% from approximately RMB21.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was mainly due to a larger portion of interest expenses incurred from the loans raised were not capitalised to the property development projects during this year.
10. Income tax expenses
The Group's income tax expenses include payments and provisions made for corporate income tax and LAT by the PRC subsidiaries of the Group.
The Group's income tax expenses decreased by 17.3% from approximately RMB252.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB208.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was mainly due to the increase in the Group's taxable profit derived from the property development business and construction contracting business and the provision of LAT for the units delivered to purchasers of the property development business.
11. Profit for the year
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group's profit amounted to approximately RMB331.7 million, representing an increase of 4.4% from RMB317.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Liquidity, Finance and Capital

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.

2. 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.
3. 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 and other borrowings bearing an interest at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.
