EARNINGS PER SHARE

Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue ('000)	1,019,130	788,403
Earnings per share - Basic (RMB)	0.70	0.90

For the purpose of calculating the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue:

• (i) the subdivision of the Company's share capital and the following shares issued during the Reorganisation are treated as if they had been in effect and issued on 1 January 2019:

  • • 100 shares (subdivided) issued on 14 December 2018, the date of incorporation of the Company;

  • • 100 shares (subdivided) issued on 30 April 2019 to Dynasty International Co. Ltd. as the consideration for acquiring of the 100% equity interests in Xiamen Dynasty Real Estate Group Company Limited; and

  • • 727,073 shares issued to Dynasty International Co. Ltd. on 5 November 2019.

• (ii) in the respect of the 50,606 ordinary shares of the Company issued on 5 November 2019 to a company controlled by the Ultimate Controlling Shareholder for further share incentive plan, 28,635 shares were treated as being issued on 5 November 2019 at fair value and 21,971 shares were treated as if they were bonus shares that had been in issue since 1 January 2019.

• (iii) the 999,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company issued on 30 November 2020 under the Capitalisation Issue (as defined in paragraph 14(d)) have been adjusted retrospectively to the number of ordinary shares issued under (i) and (ii) above as if the proportionately higher number of shares had been in issue since the relevant dates indicated; and

• (iv) the 333,400,000 ordinary shares offered to the public (the "Public Offering") were issued on 11 December 2020.

(b)Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Restricted shares granted to employees under the Group's share incentive scheme are considered to be potential ordinary shares. For the restricted shares, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding restricted shares. Taking into account the effect of the Capitalisation Issue (as defined in paragraph 14(d)), the number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the restricted shares.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the audited annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.

MACRO INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

2020 is an extraordinary year in the history of China. The frequent occurrence of Black Swan incidents, the outbreak of the epidemic in China at the beginning of the year, the fusing of stock market in the United States, and the second rebound of the epidemic at abroad at the end of the year, etc., all of which have a profound impact on the global economy and society. Amidst huge difficulties and challenges, China's economy achieved a "V"-shaped recovery in the second quarter, and the actual GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter reached 6.5% year-on-year. In 2020, China's GDP exceeded RMB100 trillion for the first time, with an increase of 2.3% year-on-year, making it the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth.

However, the epidemic has not changed the keynote of "residential properties are for living, not speculation" in the real estate market. Localised policy has been implemented to accurately control and stabilise the market in the PRC. Particularly, since the second half of the year, the financial supervision on real estate market has been strengthening, and several cities with unstable housing prices and land premiums have successively upgraded their control policies with an aim to promote the rational return of the market. Nevertheless, sales of commercial properties for the whole year still achieved breakthrough of exceeding RMB17 trillion, up by 8.7% year-on-year.

OPERATING RESULTS

During the Reporting Period, the confirmed sales revenue during the year was approximately RMB10.6 billion, representing a significant increase of 30.6% compared with last year. The Group achieved an annual net profit of RMB0.95 billion, representing a significant increase of 51.4% compared with last year. The net profit attributable to owners of the Company was RMB715 million. In order to return the trust and support of shareholders, the Board proposed the distribution of a final dividend of RMB11 cents per share for the year 2020.

WORK REVIEW FOR 2020

"The layout of urban agglomerations and the deep cultivation of metropolitan areas" is our basic strategy. During the Reporting Period, the Group continued to strengthen its understanding of deep cultivation in the metropolitan area, follow closely on the industry situation, adhere to the implementation of the investment standard that prioritises cash flow indicators, pay equal attention to deep cultivation and external expansion, and replenish land reserves effectively. During the year, the Group obtained land reserves with the total GFA of 8.39 million sq.m. and entered into 14 new cities, which further opened up space for regional layout, of which, the area of of new land bank in the Yangtze River Delta was 1.69 million sq.m., accounting for 20% of the newly land bank during this year.

As of 31 December 2020, the Group has a total of 123 real estate projects, each in various stages of development, in six large economic zones, with a total site area of approximately 20.44 million sq.m. in land bank. The Group was ranked 73rd among the Sales Top 200 Ranking List of China Real Estate Enterprise for 2020 by CRIC Real Estate Research Institute.

While expanding our territory, we formally implemented a platform-based strategy in 2020. With this strategy, through an open platform and a market-oriented transaction mechanism, parties participating in the platform such as partners, upstream and downstream suppliers, and funders can achieve resource sharing, value creation, and ultimately complete the sharing of interests of all parties and build a win-win ecosystem.

2020 is a milestone for the Group to achieve a capital breakthrough. In December 2020, the Group was successfully listed on the main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), raising total net proceeds of approximately HK$1.49 billion (equivalent to RMB1.26 billion).

In addition, in the anti-epidemic process in 2020, the Group also demonstrated our social responsibility and duty. We donated a total of 430,000 materials to 25 medical institutions, 20 government anti-epidemic departments, Red Cross, international organisations, and individuals in 14 cities across the country, all of which contributed to the gradual and effective control of the domestic epidemic.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISI.

Review for 2020

In 2020, the COVID-19 has swept the world, and the world economy has been hit hard. In the first quarter, the pause button was pressed for the economy in China. Subsequently, the PRC introduced a series of anti-epidemic relief policies, which eased the operating pressure of enterprises to a certain extent. Since the second quarter of 2020, the epidemic prevention and control in China has achieved remarkable results, the economy has recovered in an orderly manner, and the real estate market has ushered in a sales rebound.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2020, the total sales value of commercial housing was approximately RMB17.4 trillion and the sales area was 1.76 billion square meters, representing an increase of 8.7% and 2.6% respectively, as compared with last year. Of which, the growth was strong in first-tier cities, steady in second-tier cities, and slow in third- and fourth-tier cities. This shows that the status of the real estate industry in the national economy is still irreplaceable. With the upgrading of the national regional strategy, some core cities, node cities and areas with transportation advantages in the metropolitan area will be expected to usher in better development opportunities.

1.

Real Estate Business

In 2020, the Group followed the geographical layout of 2+1+X, focused on existing areas, consolidated existing layout in the two urban agglomerations of the Haixi and Beibu Gulf, and established a relatively stable scale advantage. Meanwhile, we seized the opportunity of relocating our headquarters to Shanghai, by taking root quickly in the Yangtze River Delta region, as well as successively entered into 14 nodal core cities with economic vitality, such as Ningbo, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Changzhou, Nantong, Wuxi and others. We have strengthened strategic cooperation with leading companies in the industry, all of which will lay a solid foundation for the Group to become a national comprehensive real estate company.

During the Reporting Period, the Group's revenue from the real estate business was RMB10.11 billion. The total GFA of the land bank was approximately 20.44 million square meters, providing sufficient support for future development.

Newly acquired land

In 2020, through various land acquisition methods such as public bidding, auction and listing and joint ventures, a total of 44 high-quality land parcels were obtained by the Group, with a total planned GFA of 8.39 million square meters.
