2019 Annual Report ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 1

OVERVIEW

We are a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company in China with a fully integrated proprietary biologics platform in bispecifics and protein engineering. Our mission is to deliver world-class innovative therapeutic biologics to treat patients globally by applying our unique drug discovery and development capabilities. We believe our unique drug discovery and development capabilities are demonstrated by our strong R&D track record and supported by our proprietary technologies, platforms and expertise.

PIPELINE

Our highly differentiated in-house pipeline consists of eight oncology drug candidates, including four in clinical stage.

  • KN046 – a BsAb immune checkpoint inhibitor simultaneously targeting two clinically-validated immune checkpoints, PD-L1 and CTLA-4, representing a potential breakthrough, next-generation immunooncology blockbuster drug. The results from the phase I clinical trials have shown a favorable safety profile, and early efficacy signals on NPC, gastrointestinal cancers (including pancreatic cancer) and other tumor types. We have adopted a fast/first-to-market approach on selecting indications and we plan to submit the first BLA for KN046 in China for fast track indication around the end of 2021. We are also conducting clinical trials for several major cancer indications, including NSCLC, TNBC, ESCC and pancreatic cancer. The preliminary results of our phase II clinical trial in China indicate promising efficacy of KN046 for NSCLC and TNBC, especially the combination therapy with chemotherapy. Combo trials of KN046 and KN026 are ongoing.

  • KN026 – a next-generation anti-HER2 BsAb that can simultaneously bind two distinct clinically-validated epitopes of HER2, resulting in potentially superior efficacy. As of the Latest Practicable Date, in our China phase I clinical trial of KN026, KN026 had shown early efficacy signals on heavily pre-treated breast cancer patients as well as a favorable safety profile. We plan to complete a phase Ib trial for HER2 High breast cancer in China by the first half of 2020. We are also conducting a phase II clinical trial for first line HER2-positive breast cancer (combination with docetaxel), late line HER2-overexpressing breast and GC/GEJ in China and a phase I clinical trial for HER2-overexpressing solid tumors, including but not limited to breast cancer and GC/GEJ, in the United States.

  • KN019 – a CTLA-4-based immunosuppressant fusion protein with potential broad applications in both autoimmune diseases and oncology treatment-induced immune disorders. We have started a phase II trial for RA in December 2019 and plan to expand to oncology treatment-induced immune disorder indications in the future.

2 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 2019 Annual Report

Company Profile

  • KN035 – potentially the first subcutaneously injectable PD-L1 inhibitor worldwide, offering advantages in safety, convenience, compliance, access to patients not suitable for intravenous infusion, and lower medical cost. Invented by us and jointly developed with 3D Medicines, KN035 is currently undergoing a phase II pivotal clinical trial for dMMR/MSI-H solid tumors and a phase III pivotal trial for BTC in China. The first BLA for KN035 is expected to be filed by the end of 2020 for dMMR/MSI-H solid tumors.

The depth and breadth of our in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities are demonstrated by the following: (i) structure-guided protein engineering capability to develop protein building blocks in various formats, including sdAbs and engineered proteins; (ii) proprietary CRIB and CRAM platforms for bispecifics and antibody mixtures, respectively; and (iii) state-of-the-art manufacturing capability to be further strengthened by new facilities with an expected capacity of over 30,000L, designed and built to meet NMPA and EU/FDA’s cGMP standards.

6 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 2019 Annual Report

Chairman’s Statement

Dear Shareholders:

It is a great pleasure to share with you, on behalf of our Board, the first annual report of the Group. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support and am delighted to share with you our results in 2019.

2019 was an extraordinary year for Alphamab Oncology. We successfully completed series B round of preIPO financing and the Listing on December 12, 2019. As a public company with access to international capital markets, Alphamab Oncology is well positioned to achieve further fast growth and create value for our Shareholders.

As a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company in China with a fully integrated proprietary biologics platform in bispecifics and protein engineering, we are dedicated to the R&D and commercialization of our portfolio products.

KN046, our PD-L1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, has demonstrated a favorable safety profile as well as promising efficacy in multiple solid tumor types, including NSCLC, TNBC, ESCC, pancreatic cancer, thymic carcinoma, in the late-line and/or frontline setting, based on the results from hundreds of patients dosed in our clinical trials. We have presented part of these promising clinical trial results at the 2019 annual meeting organized by American Society of Clinical Oncology and received strong interest from the industry.

KN026, our HER2 bispecific antibody, has achieved over 30% ORR at the recommended phase II dose levels for late-stage breast cancer patients who have failed multiple prior treatments in China. We are also testing KN026 in GC patients with different levels of HER2 expression. In addition, we have initiated trials in solid tumors with HER2 overexpression in the U.S. The combination trial of KN026 and KN046 in solid tumor with HER2 expression is also ongoing. We expect that KN026 could potentially address significant unmet medical needs from broad indications with excellent efficacy.

As disclosed in our Prospectus, we are in collaboration with 3D Medicines to develop KN035, which is potentially the first subcutaneously injectable PD-L1 inhibitor globally. Currently KN035 is approaching the final stage for two pivotal trials in China. The validation process for KN035 has commenced. As a part of the preparation for global registration trials of KN035, our facilities have successfully passed an inspection by an EU Qualified Person on behalf of the European Medicines Agency. We have also entered into a cooperation agreement with Simcere and 3D Medicines on March 30, 2020 for the marketing and commercialization of KN035 for oncology indications in Mainland China.

We also started phase II clinical trials for KN019 in RA in China in 2019. Meanwhile, we are also looking into applications for controlling immune-related adverse events from immune-oncology treatments.

2019 Annual Report ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 7

Chairman’s Statement

We have been and will make continuous efforts on innovative R&D work. We have been advancing several preclinical stage bispecific antibodies and exploring combination trials for KN046 and KN026 involving different therapies including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and target therapy. We are also looking into innovative modalities, such as cell therapy, oncolytic virus and gene editing to further enrich our pipeline.

We are delighted to complete the phase I construction of our new campus which has two 2,000L production lines and a 72,000 square meter headquarter. Most of the clinical trial materials for KN026, KN046 and KN019 will be produced at our new campus and shipped to clinic trial sites globally.

Looking forward, our Board and management team are confident that our company will thrive in this fastgrowing industry. I would like to thank all our colleagues for their dedication and contribution. Our gratitude is also extended to our Shareholders, our partners and CROs for their continuous support.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. XU Ting (徐霆)

Executive Director, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Office

Management Discussion and Analysis

Notes:

  • (1) We also plan to develop (i) KN046 for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; and (ii) KN046 in combination with KN026 for HER2-positive cancers, including gastric cancers/gastroesophageal cancer, other types of gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, urothelial cancer, nonsmall cell lung cancer and gynecological tumors, etc.

  • (2) Among the four pre-clinical bispecific candidates, two are at preliminary pre-clinical study stage and two are at lead optimization stage.

  • (3) The phase Ib study of KN046 targeted various types of solid tumors, with a focus on late-line unresectable metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, urothelial cancer and melanoma. It should be noted that these indications are not major cancer indications in China, each with a relatively low cancer incidence and representing a small fraction of the total cancer population in China, according to the market research report prepared by China Insights Consultancy Limited. We plan to submit the first BLA for KN046 in China for nasopharyngeal carcinoma around the end of 2021.

  • (4) No licensing partner as of the Latest Practicable Date.

  • (5) We invented KN035 in-house and currently are jointly developing it with 3D Medicines. According to the co-development agreements with 3D Medicines, upon receiving the BLA approval for KN035, 3D Medicines would be responsible for its global commercialization. We own the right to manufacture and supply KN035 to 3D Medicines and are entitled to profit sharing.

  • (6) All of our clinical-stage drug candidates received Umbrella IND approvals from the NMPA. Some indications may not require a non-pivotal phase II clinical trial prior to beginning the pivotal phase II/III clinical trials in China. Based on our experience, the need for comparison studies for our drug candidates is considered on a case-by-case basis and based on communications with the NMPA.

  • (7) We conducted the China phase Ia clinical trial as a bridging study to leverage our clinical trial data in Australia.

  • (8) Except for the phase I clinical trial, we do not expect to conduct any other clinical trials or make any registration filing for KN046 in Australia.

  • (9) KN026 received the IND approval from the FDA in October 2018.

  • (10) Phase I clinical trials are ongoing in the U.S. and Japan. KN035 received the IND approvals from the FDA and the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in November 2016 and May 2017, respectively. 3D Medicines is responsible for clinical trials and registration filings under the co-development agreements with 3D Medicines.

  • (11) Due to commercial sensitivity, we do not disclose additional details of these BsAb drug candidates for oncology treatment.

The depth and breadth of our in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities are demonstrated by the following: (i) structure-guided protein engineering capability to develop protein building blocks in various formats, including sdAbs and engineered proteins; (ii) proprietary charge repulsion improved bispecific platforms and charge repulsion induced antibody mixture platforms for bispecifics and antibody mixtures, respectively; and (iii) state-of-the-art manufacturing capability to be further strengthened by new facilities with an expected capacity of over 30,000L, designed and built to meet NMPA, EU and FDA’s current good manufacturing practice standards.

COMMERCIALIZATION

To date, we have not commercialized any products. We plan to build our own commercialization team in China with an initial focus on late-stage drug candidates and assemble a team of personnel dedicated to medical affairs and governmental affairs in 2020 to prepare for the upcoming launch of KN046 in 2021. After the launch of KN046, we plan to further expand our team to actively seek insurance and reimbursement opportunities from third-party payers and government reimbursement programs to support the ongoing commercial operations of KN046 and the upcoming launch of KN026. We expect our team to cover major provinces and municipalities in China, especially the ones with relatively well-developed economies and high levels of discretionary income. We intend to continue to expand our team in anticipation of more product launches and more approved indications.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Time Deposits with Original Maturity Over Three Months

Our cash and cash equivalents mainly comprise of (i) cash at banks and on hand and (ii) time deposits within original maturity less than three months. As of December 31, 2019, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents increased to RMB1,867.9 million from RMB633.7 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase primarily resulted from the proceeds of the global offering.

The Group’s cash at banks and on hand amounted to RMB54.1 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to RMB95.5 million as of December 31, 2018. To enjoy higher interest rates on the proceeds from our financings, we also placed our cash in time deposits with licensed commercial banks in China and Hong Kong. Time deposits of RMB538.3 million and RMB1,813.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively, had maturities of less than three months and were recorded as cash and cash equivalents. We also had time deposits of RMB502.9 million as of December 31, 2019 which had maturities of over three months.

Financial Assets Measured at FVTPL

The Group’s financial assets measured at FVTPL mainly represent RMB-denominated wealth management products we purchased from commercial banks in the PRC.

Our financial assets measured at FVTPL increased from nil as of December 31, 2018 to RMB11.7 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the purchase of non-principal-guaranteed wealth management products as our financial investments.

We believe that we can make better use of our cash by utilizing wealth management products, such as structured deposits, to enhance our income without interfering with our business operations or capital expenditures. We make investment decisions based on our estimated capital requirements for the next three months and our annual budget, taking into account the duration, expected returns and risks of the wealth management product. We generally limit purchases to low-risk, short-term products from reputable commercial banks. Our finance department is responsible for the purchase of wealth management products, which is reviewed by our senior management team. In the future, we intend to continue taking a disciplined approach regarding purchasing low-risk wealth management products with a short maturity period based on our operational needs.

The Group’s lease liabilities are in relation to properties we leased for our manufacturing and R&D activities and our office premises. We recognize a lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which we are the lessee, except for short term leases and leases of low value assets. For these leases, we generally recognize the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease liability is initially measured at present value that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease and subsequently adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

Our lease liabilities increased from RMB11.0 million as of December 31, 2018 to RMB23.2 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to entering into new lease for business operations, manufacturing and R&D activities in 2019.

Fair Value of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares

The fair value of our convertible redeemable preferred shares decreased from RMB900.6 million as of December 31, 2018 to nil as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the automatic conversion of all preferred shares into ordinary shares upon the Listing.

Contract Liabilities

We recorded contract liabilities of RMB10.0 million and RMB11.7 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Our contract liabilities represented the RMB10.0 million upfront payment we received from 3D Medicines and such amount is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money at a discount rate of 4.35% taking into consideration of the credit characteristics of the Group. We own the right to manufacture and supply KN035 to 3D Medicines. After the approval and commercialization of KN035, we will recognize revenue on the upfront payment received. None of the contract liabilities were recognized as revenue during the Reporting Period.

Liquidity and Source of Funding

Our primary uses of cash are to fund our clinical trials, manufacturing, purchase of equipment and raw materials and other expenses. During the Reporting Period, we primarily funded our working capital requirements through proceeds from the global offering, pre-IPO investments and bank borrowings. We closely monitor uses of cash and cash balances and strive to maintain a healthy liquidity for our operations.

2019 Annual Report ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 75

Directors’ Report

Our principal operating subsidiary Jiangsu Alphamab had been a subsidiary of Suzhou Alphamab prior to the Reorganization and therefore we are very familiar with its needs and requirements. It is complementary and beneficial to Suzhou Alphamab and us to enter into both the Master Technical Service Agreement and Property and Equipment Lease Agreement to avoid any relocation of manufacturing facility or change of current arrangements that may cause disruption to the manufacturing operations of us and Suzhou Alphamab. Under the Master Technical Service Agreement, we are entitled to refuse to provide or delay the provision of the Manufacturing Services to Suzhou Alphamab if we consider that we do not have adequate manufacturing capacity to perform the requested services. Such arrangement enables us to fully utilize our production capacity as well as generate income for our Group. Our Directors are of the view that providing Manufacturing Services to Suzhou Alphamab as contemplated under the Master Technical Services Agreement will be beneficial to our Group.

The annual caps for the transactions under the Master Technical Service Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 are RMB810,000, RMB19,009,500 and RMB18,559,500, respectively. The aggregate transaction amount incurred in accordance with the Master Technical Service Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2019 was RMB84,906.

The above continuing connected transactions have followed the policies and guidelines when determining the price and terms of the transactions conducted for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The auditor of the Group has reviewed the continuing connected transactions referred to above and confirmed to the Board that the continuing connected transactions: (i) have received the approval of the Board; (ii) were in accordance with the pricing policies of the Group; (iii) were entered into in accordance with the relevant agreement governing the transactions; and (iv) have not exceeded the caps.

The independent non-executive Directors have confirmed that the above continuing connected transactions: (i) have been entered into, and will be carried out, in the ordinary and usual course of business of our Group and on normal commercial terms or better to us and are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the proposed annual caps are fair and reasonable and in the interest of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole.

[Independent Auditor’s Report]

TO THE MEMBERS OF ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 康寧傑瑞生物製藥 (incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Alphamab Oncology (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) set out on pages 85 to 205, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTER

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

80 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 2019 Annual Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Recognition and measurement of outsourcing service fees

We identified the recognition and measurement of outsourcing service fees as a key audit matter due to its significance and the estimation involved in allocating the outsourcing service fees paid and payable to contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), clinical research coordinators (“CRCs”) and clinical trial sites (“CTSs”), mainly being hospitals (collectively referred to as the “Outsourced Service Providers”) in the appropriate financial reporting period.

During the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group incurred research and development (“R&D”) expenses of approximately RMB166.7 million, out of which approximately RMB77.5 million or 46.5% were attributable to the outsourcing service fees as set out in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

These Outsourced Service Providers provided supports to the Group’s various R&D activities in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries in the form of R&D or manufacturing services and the Group entered into agreements with them and these services are typically performed across the financial reporting periods. Accordingly, the allocation of outsourcing service fees to the appropriate financial reporting period and accruals as at reporting date based on the progress of the R&D projects involves estimation by the management and outsourcing service fees of approximately RMB15.3 million were accrued as at 31 December 2019 as set out in note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our procedures performed on the recognition and measurement of the outsourcing service fees included:

  • Obtaining an understanding of key controls over the management’s recognition and measurement basis of outsourcing services fees, the process in relation to their accrual as at year end and the progress of each R&D project;

  • Assessing the accuracy of outsourcing service fees paid and payable to CTSs, on a sample basis, by checking to their invoices, the patient enrolment listing, the progress of outsourcing services provided by CTSs reported by the representatives of the relevant CRCs, the costs per patient in the agreements and with reference to the completion status of the clinical trial progress;

  • Evaluating the accuracy of outsourcing service fees paid and payable to CROs, CMOs and CRCs recorded, on a sample basis, by checking their respective contract sums, progress and/ or milestones achieved to their invoices, the relevant agreements and the progress reported by the representatives of the relevant CROs, CMOs and CRCs; and

  • Confirming with the CROs and CRCs in respect of the progress of the outsourcing services provided, on a sample basis, for the year ended 31 December 2019.

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

82 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 2019 Annual Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of agreement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

2019 Annual Report ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 83

Independent Auditor’s Report

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in the independent auditor’s report is Mr. Chan Tsz Wai.

90 ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 2019 Annual Report

Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity For the year ended 31 December 2019

The other reserve comprises:

  • (i) the accumulated losses derived from the Oncology Business carried out by Suzhou Alphamab prior to its transfer to Jiangsu Alphamab and during the transition period (as defined in Note 2) as such accumulated losses legally belong to Suzhou Alphamab which is not a member of the Group;

  • (ii) the net contribution from Suzhou Alphamab on the funding used in the Oncology Business, which was provided by Suzhou Alphamab prior to and during the transition period after the transfer of Oncology Business on 18 April 2018;

  • (iii) the effect of an increase of effective shareholding of Dr. Xu Ting (“Dr. Xu”) in Jiangsu Alphamab from 51% to 65.7% on 20 June 2018 at a cash consideration of RMB16,188,000 as part of the Reorganization (as defined and detailed in Note 2). This resulted in recognition of a reorganization related expense as detailed in Note 36(iv) of RMB64,453,000 charged to profit or loss to reflect Dr. Xu’s additional interest value acquired as part of the Reorganization, which has been determined by the directors of Company with reference to a valuation carried out by an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group, less the consideration paid to Suzhou Alphamab which is attributable to the non-controlling interests of Suzhou Alphamab. The difference of the above reorganization related expense and the paid-in capital of Jiangsu Alphamab attributable to Dr. Xu of RMB8,820,000 and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests of RMB22,298,000 is recognized in the other reserve; and

  • (iv) the difference between the cash consideration of RMB52,563,000, which is accounted for as deemed distribution to the shareholders, for the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Jiangsu Alphamab by Alphamab Hong Kong (as defined in Note 2) as part of the Reorganization, and the share capital of Jiangsu Alphamab attributable to Dr. Xu of RMB39,420,000 plus the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests of RMB67,195,000 at the date of completion of the acquisition. Jiangsu Alphamab became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Group thereafter.

2019 Annual Report ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 91

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

For the year ended 31 December 2019

Prior to transfer of the Oncology Business as detailed in Note 2, the Oncology Business was operated under Suzhou Alphamab and no separate bank accounts were maintained for the Oncology Business. The treasury and cash disbursement functions of the Oncology Business were centrally administrated by Suzhou Alphamab. During the transition period after the transfer of Oncology Business to Jiangsu Alphamab on 18 April 2018, while Jiangsu Alphamab has already maintained separate bank accounts to manage the Oncology Business, there are still insignificant funds provided by Suzhou Alphamab related to the Oncology Business. The net cash flows generated by the Oncology Business that were kept in the bank accounts of Suzhou Alphamab, are reflected in “Net contribution for the Oncology Business by Suzhou Alphamab” in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Accordingly, the net funds provided by Suzhou Alphamab were presented as movements in the equity.

For the purpose of presenting a complete set of the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the following comprises the information of cash inflow/outflow of the Group and the Oncology Business received/ paid by Suzhou Alphamab prior to and during the transition period after the transfer of Oncology Business.

ALPHAMAB ONCOLOGY 2019 Annual Report

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2019

1. GENERAL

Alphamab Oncology (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on 28 March 2018 under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and its shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) since 12 December 2019. The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information section to the annual report.

The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the “Group”) are principally engaged in research and development, manufacturing and commercialization of biologics of oncology. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are set out in Note 39.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the same as the functional currency of the Company.

2. REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in Note 4 which conform with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the principle of merger accounting applicable to group reorganization (details are set out below).

Prior to the group reorganization (the “Reorganization”), the entire equity interest of Jiangsu Alphamab Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (江蘇康寧傑瑞生物製藥有限公司) (“Jiangsu Alphamab”) was directly held by Suzhou Alphamab Co., Ltd. (蘇州康寧傑瑞生物科技有限公司) (“Suzhou Alphamab”), a company controlled by Dr. Xu, who held 51% of its paid-in capital and the remaining 49% of the paid-in capital was held by two non-controlling shareholders, namely Mr. Xue Chuanxiao (“Mr. Xue”) and Mr. Zhang Xitian (“Mr. Zhang”), as to 24.5% and 24.5%, respectively. Jiangsu Alphamab and Suzhou Alphamab are companies established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

2. REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The companies and the Oncology Business (as defined below) now comprising the Group underwent the Reorganization which involved:

  • (a) Transfer of the Oncology Business from Suzhou Alphamab to Jiangsu Alphamab on 18 April 2018 at a total cash consideration of RMB132,180,000, which is accounted for as deemed distribution to the shareholders. Jiangsu Alphamab was established to engage in oncology-treatment business earlier and Suzhou Alphamab continues to focus on its businesses other than the Oncology Business after this transfer;

  • (b) Acquisition of 30% equity interest of Jiangsu Alphamab from Suzhou Alphamab by Dr. Xu at a cash consideration of RMB16,188,000 on 20 June 2018, which increased Dr. Xu’s effective holding in Jiangsu Alphamab from 51% to 65.7%;

  • (c) Incorporation of the Company on 28 March 2018 to wholly own Alphamab Oncology (BVI) Ltd. (“Alphamab BVI”), a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on 19 April 2018 and indirectly wholly own Alphamab Oncology (HK) Limited (“Alphamab Hong Kong”), a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on 11 May 2018. The Company was beneficially owned by Dr. Xu (through Rubymab Limited (“Rubymab”), a limited liability company incorporated in the BVI which is wholly owned by Dr. Xu), Mr. Xue, Mr. Zhang and certain employees of Suzhou Alphamab (“SZ ESOP Holders”), who were awarded share options of Suzhou Alphamab under the share incentive plan adopted by Suzhou Alphamab (“SZ ESOP Plan” and details of which can be referred to Note 30(b)) prior to the Reorganization, as to approximately 63.71%, 16.63%, 16.63% and 3.03%, respectively. The SZ ESOP Holders were awarded with the 3.03% equity interest in the Company at nominal consideration, however, such interest was deemed to be part of the consideration for the transfer of the Oncology Business from Suzhou Alphamab to Jiangsu Alphamab as set out in note (a) as such transfer has to be agreed by the SZ ESOP Holders; and

  • (d) Acquisition of Jiangsu Alphamab at a total cash consideration of RMB52,563,000 (after conversion as sino-foreign joint venture company), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, namely Alphamab (Australia) Co. Pty. Ltd. (“Alphamab Australia”), a company incorporated in Australia, by Alphamab Hong Kong from Dr. Xu and Suzhou Alphamab on 30 August 2018 and an independent investor on 25 September 2018.

Upon completion of the Reorganization on 25 September 2018, the Company became a holding company of the companies now comprising the Group.

2. REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Transfer of the Oncology Business

Suzhou Alphamab, which does not form part of the Group, was established in the PRC and owned as to 51% by Dr. Xu. Prior to 18 April 2018, Suzhou Alphamab engaged in the development and manufacture of biologics therapeutics for both oncology treatment areas (the “Oncology Business”) and non-oncology treatment related areas including autoimmune diseases, hematology, infertility and etc., and also acted as an investment holding company primarily holding Jiangsu Alphamab and Alphamab Australia.

For the purpose of delineating the Oncology Business between Suzhou Alphamab and Jiangsu Alphamab, on 18 April 2018, Suzhou Alphamab and Jiangsu Alphamab entered into an asset transfer and patent licensing agreement at a total cash consideration of RMB132,180,000 (together with three supplemental agreements subsequently entered into in June 2018, December 2018 and February 2019), pursuant to which:

  • (i) Suzhou Alphamab transferred its rights and interests in assets associated with clinical research, development and commercialization of the KN019, KN026, KN046 and KN035 (the “Transferred Patents”) to Jiangsu Alphamab;

  • (ii) Suzhou Alphamab transferred 50% of its rights and interest in assets in relation to the research and development and commercialization of two antibody platforms to Jiangsu Alphamab;

  • (iii) Jiangsu Alphamab granted Suzhou Alphamab, on a royalty-free basis, to use the Transferred Patents in non-oncology area for a perpetual term; and

  • (iv) Suzhou Alphamab granted Jiangsu Alphamab, on a royalty-free basis, to use the certain patents and patent rights in oncology treatment related area for a perpetual term.

The transfer of the operations of the Oncology Business was principally completed on 18 April 2018 while the transition period of providing technical support by Suzhou Alphamab was completed by end of May 2019.

Since Suzhou Alphamab and Jiangsu Alphamab were under common control by Dr. Xu, the transfer of the Oncology Business has been accounted for as a business combination involving entities under common control using the principles of merger accounting.

2. REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Transfer of the Oncology Business (Continued)

The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 include the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the entities comprising the Group and the Oncology business, on the basis as if the Oncology Business had been operated under the Group throughout the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 or since the respective dates of incorporation which is a shorter period, with consideration of the controlling interests held by Dr. Xu in these entities and the Oncology Business.

To the extent the assets, liabilities, income and expenses that are specifically identified to the Oncology Business, such items are included in the consolidated financial statements throughout the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018. To the extent the assets, liabilities, income and expenses that are impracticable to identify specifically, these items are allocated to the Oncology Business on the basis set out below (such items include certain research and development expenses and administrative expenses as a whole). Items that do not meet the criteria above are not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Expenses which are impracticable to identify specifically to the Oncology Business are determined on the following basis: included in research and development expenses are other material costs, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, depreciation of right-of-use assets and repair and maintenance fee of property, plant and equipment, which were allocated based on the percentage of direct materials consumed specifically by the Oncology Business over the total consumption in Suzhou Alphamab; while the administrative expenses as a whole were allocated based on the percentage of research and development expense ratio of the Oncology Business to Suzhou Alphamab’s total research and development expenses. The directors of the Company believe and confirm that the methods of allocation of the above expense items present the best and reasonable basis of estimating what the Oncology Business’s operating results would have been on a stand-alone basis for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018. Other than those items mentioned above, all other items or assets and liabilities, income and expenses of the Oncology Business are specifically identified.

3. APPLICATION OF IFRSs

The Group has consistently applied all the new and amendments to IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), and interpretations issued by the IASB which are effective for the accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2019.

New and amendments to IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

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

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[1] Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business[2] Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture[3] Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current[5] Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material[4] Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform[4]

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021

  • 2 Effective for business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020

  • 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 2020 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022

In addition to the above new and amendments to IFRSs, a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting was issued in 2018. Its consequential amendments, the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

For the year ended 31 December 2019

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3. APPLICATION OF IFRSs (Continued)

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

The amendments provide refinements to the definition of material by including additional guidance and explanations in making materiality judgments. In particular, the amendments:

  • include the concept of “obscuring” material information in which the effect is similar to omitting or misstating the information;

  • replace threshold for materiality influencing users from “could influence” to “could reasonably be expected to influence”; and

  • include the use of the phrase “primary users” rather than simply referring to “users” which was considered too broad when deciding what information to disclose in the financial statements.

The amendments also align the definition across all IFRSs and will be mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on 1 January 2020. The application of the amendments is not expected to have significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group but may affect the presentation and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 (the “New Framework”) and the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards The New Framework:

  • reintroduces the terms stewardship and prudence;

  • introduces a new asset definition that focuses on rights and a new liability definition that is likely to be broader than the definition it replaces, but does not change the distinction between a liability and an equity instrument;

  • discusses historical cost and current value measures, and provides additional guidance on how to select a measurement basis for a particular asset or liability;

  • states that the primary measure of financial performance is profit or loss, and that only in exceptional circumstances other comprehensive income will be used and only for income or expenses that arise from a change in the current value of an asset or liability; and

  • discusses uncertainty, derecognition, unit of account, the reporting entity and combined financial statements.

For the year ended 31 December 2019

3. APPLICATION OF IFRSs (Continued)

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 (the “New Framework”) and the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (Continued)

Consequential amendments have been made so that references in certain IFRSs have been updated to the New Framework, whilst some IFRSs are still referred to the previous versions of the framework. These amendments are effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020. Other than specific standards which still refer to the previous versions of the framework, the Group will rely on the New Framework on its effective date in determining the accounting policies especially for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the accounting standards.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and amendments to IFRSs will have no material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the following accounting policies set out below which conform with IFRSs issued by the IASB. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and complied with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are at fair value at the end of the reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the consolidated financial statements are determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payments, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

For the year ended 31 December 2019

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

For financial instruments which are transacted at fair value and a valuation technique that unobservable inputs is to be used to measure fair value in subsequent periods, the valuation technique is calibrated so that at initial recognition the results of the valuation technique equals the transaction price.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2019

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of consolidation (Continued)

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s relevant components of equity and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries, including re-attribution of relevant reserves between the Group and the non-controlling interests according to the Group’s and the non-controlling interests’ proportionate interests.

Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted, and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are included in the statement of financial position of the Company at cost less any identified impairment loss.

Merger accounting for business combination involving businesses under common control

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognized in respect of goodwill or bargain purchase gain at the time of common control combination.

The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes the results of each of the combining businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.

Specifically, the Group uses a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

  • Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

  • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price

  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

  • Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue from contracts with customers (Continued)

Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;

  • the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or

  • the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

Upfront payment received by the Group is initially recognized as contract liabilities.

A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.

Existence of significant financing component

In determining the transaction price, the Group adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed (either explicitly or implicitly) provides the customer or the Group with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer. In those circumstances, the contract contains a significant financing component. A significant financing component may exist regardless of whether the promise of financing is explicitly stated in the contract or implied by the payment terms agreed to by the parties to the contract.

For advance payments received from customers before the transfer of the associated goods or services in which the Group adjusts for the promised amount of consideration for a significant financing component, the Group applies a discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Group and the customer at contract inception. The relevant interest expenses during the period between the advance payments were received and the transfer of the associated goods and services are accounted for on the same basis as other borrowing costs.

The Group did not generate and recognize any revenue during both years.

Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

As a lessee

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets

Except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use asset includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and

  • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying assets, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

Right-of-use assets in which the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term is depreciated from commencement date to the end of the useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Leases (Continued)

As a lessee (Continued)

Refundable rental deposits

Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted for under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments include:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;

  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and

  • payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate the lease.

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

Leases (Continued)

As a lessee (Continued)

Lease liabilities (Continued)

The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) whenever:

  • the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment.

  • the lease payments change due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.

Lease modifications

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

  • the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

  • the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Foreign currencies (Continued)

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. RMB) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Any specific borrowing that remain outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale is included in the general borrowing pool for calculation of capitalization rate on general borrowings. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Payments to the state-managed retirement benefit schemes are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Group entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when it recognizes any related restructuring costs.

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognized at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense unless another IFRS standard requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries) after deducting any amount already paid.

Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

Share options granted to employees

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payments determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserve). At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share-based payment reserve. For share options that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the share options granted is expensed immediately to profit or loss.

When share options are exercised, the amount previously recognized in share-based payment reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized in share-based payment reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

Share options granted to employees (Continued)

An expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where the modification reduces the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured immediately before and after the modification, the decrease in fair value will not be recognized. The amount recognized for services received continues to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the instrument originally granted.

Where the modification reduces the number of equity instruments granted to an employee, the reduction is accounted for as a cancellation of that portion of the grant.

Where the modification of vesting conditions is a manner that is not beneficial to the employee, the amount recognized for services received shall not take the modified vesting conditions into account and continues to be measured based on the grant date vesting conditions of the instrument originally granted.

When share options are cancelled during the vesting period (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Group immediately recognizes the cancellation of share options as an acceleration of vesting as share based payment expenses.

Share-based payment transactions with cash-settled alternatives

Suzhou Alphamab operates a share-based payment plan which provides the employees with a choice of settlement of share-based payment transactions either in cash or by equity upon fulfilment of certain conditions.

For this kind of share-based payment transactions, the Group’s entity is considered to have issued a compound financial instrument, which includes a debt component (the employees’ right to demand payment in cash) and an equity component (the employees’ right to demand settlement in equity instruments rather than in cash).

Share-based payment arrangements (Continued)

Share-based payment transactions with cash-settled alternatives (Continued)

The Group measures the fair value or the compound financial instrument at the measurement date, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the rights to cash or equity instruments were granted. To apply this, the Group first measures the fair value of the debt component, and then measures the fair value of the equity component, taking into account that the counterparty must forfeit the right to receive cash in order to receive the equity instrument. The fair value of the compound financial instrument is the sum of the fair values of the two components.

The Group accounts separately for the services received in respect of each component of the compound financial instrument. For the debt component, the Group recognizes the services received and a liability to pay for those services in accordance with the requirements applying to cash-settled share-based payment transactions. For the equity component, the Group’s entity recognizes the services received and an increase in equity in accordance with the requirements applying to equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognized for the goods or services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability. The fair value of the cash-settled share-based payments is determined without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions.

Taxation

Income taxation represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘loss before taxation’ as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Taxation (Continued)

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Group recognises the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the lease liabilities.

For leasing transactions in which the tax deductions are attributable to the lease liabilities, the Group applies IAS 12 Income Taxes requirements to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately. Temporary differences relating to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized at initial recognition and over the lease terms due to application of the initial recognition exemption. Temporary differences arising from subsequent revision to the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, resulting from remeasurement of lease liabilities and lease modifications, that are not subject to initial recognition exemption are recognised on the date of remeasurement or modification.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production or supply purposes are carried at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Costs include any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intend by management and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Such property, plant and equipment are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Ownership interests in leasehold land and building

When the Group makes payments for ownership interests of properties which includes both leasehold land and building elements, the entire consideration is allocated between the leasehold land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values at initial recognition.

To the extent the allocation of the relevant payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land is presented as “right-of-use assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position. When the consideration cannot be allocated reliably between non-lease building element and undivided interest in the underlying leasehold land, the entire properties are classified as property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment on assets other than financial assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

The recoverable amount of assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In addition, corporate assets are allocated to individual cash generating units when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The Group assesses whether there is indication that corporate assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash-generating unit, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment on assets other than financial assets (Continued)

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities, including mainly the outsourcing service fees, research and development (“R&D”) staff costs and raw material costs, is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. The outsourcing service fees included in the R&D expenditure are typically performed across the financial reporting periods. The allocation of outsourcing service fees to the appropriate financial reporting period and accruals as at reporting date based on the progress of the R&D projects involves estimation by the management.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Research and development expenditure (Continued)

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial assets

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL.

A financial asset is held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

In addition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured at the amortised cost or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

  • (i) Amortized cost and interest income

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortized cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit impaired.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the “other income” line item.

(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets of the Group that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortized cost are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss includes any interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the “other losses, net” line item.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9 (including other receivables, time deposits with original maturity over three months and cash and cash equivalents). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“12m ECL”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

For all financial instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group recognizes lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognized is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Group’s debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organizations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to the Group’s core operations.

Impairment of financial assets (Continued)

  • (i) Significant increase in credit risk (Continued)

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;

  • significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;

  • existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; or

  • an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the aforegoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if i) the financial instrument has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. The Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when it has an internal or external credit rating of ‘investment grade’ as per globally understood definitions.

  • (i) Significant increase in credit risk (Continued)

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

(ii) Definition of default

The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable.

  • when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or

  • information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

  • (a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

  • (b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;

  • (c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or

  • (d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization.

(iv) Write-off policy

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any recoveries made are recognized in profit or loss.

(v) Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risk of default occurring as the weights.

Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.

Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortized cost of the financial asset.

If the Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12m ECL at the current reporting date.

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting carrying amount.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

  • it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;

  • the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities and equity (Continued)

Financial liabilities at FVTPL (Continued)

For financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk that are recognized in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred to accumulated losses upon derecognition of the financial liability.

Convertible redeemable preferred shares

Convertible redeemable preferred shares, which contain redemption features and other embedded derivatives, are designated as at financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgement in applying accounting policies

The following is the critical judgement, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors of the Company have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Research and development expenses

Development costs incurred on the Group’s drug candidates are capitalized and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, the Group’s intention to complete and the Group’s ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the pipeline and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Development costs which do not meet these criteria are expensed when incurred.

The directors of the Company assessed the progress of each of the research and development projects and determine whether the criteria are met for capitalization. During the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018, all the related development costs are expensed when incurred.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting periods, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the coming twelve months, are described below.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The directors of the Company determine the estimated useful lives and the depreciation method in determining the related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is reference to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions in the industry. The directors of the Company will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are expected to be shorter than expected. As at 31 December 2019, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was RMB331,951,000 (2018: RMB104,944,000) as disclosed in Note 16.

6. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue

Co-development agreement with 3D Medicines Corporation (“3D Medicines”) in relation to KN035 drug candidate

In February 2016, the Group entered into an agreement with 3D Medicines and pursuant to which, the Group will jointly develop and commercialize KN035 drug candidate with 3D Medicines. Under the agreement, the Group received a non-refundable upfront payment of RMB10 million from 3D Medicines and has an exclusive right to manufacture and supply KN035 to 3D Medicines for further commercialization to ultimate customers. Upon the Group manufacturing the product and transferring the control of goods to 3D Medicines for commercialization, the Group will recognize revenue in respect of the upfront payment received.

In addition, the Group considers the non-refundable upfront payment of RMB10 million from 3D Medicines contain significant financing component and accordingly the amount of consideration is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money at a discount rate of 4.35% per annum taking into consideration the credit characteristics of the party receiving financing in the contract, as well as any collateral or security provide by the customer or the entity, including assets transferred in the contract. As this accrual increases the amount of the contract liabilities during the period of development of KN035 drug candidate, it increases the amount of revenue to be recognised when the Group commences the manufacturing of the product and the transfer of control of goods to 3D Medicines for commercialization.

Segment information

For the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment, the executive directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision makers, review the consolidated results and financial position when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment and no further analysis of this single segment is presented.

Geographical information

15. LOSS PER SHARE (Continued)

The computations of basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 are based on weighted average number of shares assumed to be in issue after taking into account the retrospective adjustments on the assumption that the Reorganization as disclosed in Note 2, the first share subdivision as disclosed in Note 28(a) and the second Share Subdivision as defined and disclosed in Note 28(f) had been in effect on 1 January 2018.

The computations of basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2018 excluded the restricted shares and ordinary shares already cancelled by the Company as part of the Reorganization. Details of which are set out in Note 28(c) & (d).

As the Group incurred losses for the year ended 31 December 2019, for the purpose of calculation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2019, the convertible redeemable preferred shares issued by the Company, the share options awarded under the pre-IPO share option scheme as disclosed in Note 30(a) and the exercise of the Company’s over-allotment options granted pursuant to the listing of the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing”) were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

As the Group incurred losses for the year ended 31 December 2018, for the purpose of calculation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2018, the convertible redeemable preferred shares issued by the Company and the shares options awarded under the pre-IPO share option scheme as disclosed in Note 30(a) were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Accordingly, diluted loss per share for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 is the same as basic loss per share of the respective year.

27. CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (Continued)

Presentation and Classification (Continued)

As at 31 December 2018, the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares were valued by the directors of the Company with reference to valuations carried out by an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group, which has appropriate qualifications and experiences in valuation of similar instruments.

Back-solve model was used to determine the underlying equity value of the Company. As the issue of Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares were considered an arm’s length transaction, the underlying equity value of the Company was back-solved based on the issue price.

Hybrid method was adopted to allocate the equity value amongst different classes of shares of the Company at the end of the reporting period. The hybrid method is a hybrid between the probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) and the option pricing method (“OPM”), estimating the probability-weighted value across multiple scenarios but using the OPM to estimate the allocation of value within one or more of those scenarios.

Under a PWERM, the value of various equity securities are estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise, assuming various future outcomes. Share value is based upon the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns, considering each of the possible future outcomes available to the enterprise, as well as the rights of each share class. Common future outcomes model might include an IPO or liquidation.

The OPM treats the rights of the Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and ordinary shares as equivalent to that of call options on the Company’s equity value, with strike prices based on the liquidation preferences as disclosed above, redemption provisions and IPO automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares. Thus, the equity value of the ordinary shares can be determined by estimating the value of its portion of each of these call option rights.

Key valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares as at 31 December 2018 are as follows:

Time to IPO 0.83 years
Time to liquidation 3.84 years
Risk-free interest rate 2.48%
Volatility 31%
Dividend Yield 0%
Possibilities under redemption scenario 30%
Possibilities under liquidation scenario 35%
Possibilities under IPO scenario 35%

30. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

(a) Equity-settled pre-IPO share option scheme of the Company:

(i) Pursuant to a written resolution of the shareholders of the Company dated 16 October 2018, a pre-IPO share option scheme (the “Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I”) of the Company was approved and adopted. The Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I was established to recognize and motivate the contribution of the eligible persons and to provide incentives and help the Group in retaining its existing employees, including any full time or part time employee (including any executive and non-executive director or proposed executive director and non-executive director) of the Group (the “Employees”), and to recruit additional employees and to provide them with a direct economic interest in attaining the long-term business objectives of the Group. Under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I, the board of directors of the Company may grant options to the eligible persons to subscribe for shares in the Company.

On 10 October 2018, options to subscribe for an aggregate of 4,566,012 shares of the Company, representing 4.4% of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of grant, at an exercise price of US$0.071 per share (equivalent to HK$0.554 per share) of the Company, were granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I of the Company conditionally upon the Listing.

On 30 June 2019, pursuant to a resolution of the shareholders of the Company, it was approved that (i) a total of 2,552,012 pre-IPO share options granted on 10 October 2018 be cancelled and (ii) a total of 6,399,077 pre-IPO share options, at an exercise price of US$0.071 per share (equivalent to HK$0.554 per share), representing 6.2% of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of grant, be granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I.

On 8 November 2019, the Group has granted additional 610,000 and 164,000 share options, at an exercise price of US$0.071 per share (equivalent to HK$0.554 per share) to a director and certain employees, respectively, under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I, representing 0.8% of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of grant.

In respect of the cancelled 2,552,012 pre-IPO share options for certain employees of the Company on 30 June 2019, 1,481,660 and 237,141 new options, respectively, under both Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I and Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II (as detail in Note 30(a)(ii)) with exercise prices ranging from US$0.071 to US$2.449 per share (equivalent to HK$0.554 to HK$19.102 per share) were granted to those employees with modification of vesting conditions on 30 June 2019. As there was a reduction of the number of options granted to those employees, the difference of 833,211 pre-IPO share options were accounted for as a cancellation of that portion of the grant and an amount of RMB12,250,000 was recognized in the profit or loss as the share-based payment expenses.

30. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES (Continued)

(a) Equity-settled pre-IPO share option scheme of the Company: (Continued)

(i) (Continued)

With respect to 97,000 new options granted to one employee mentioned above, the total fair value of the new share options granted was less than that of the cancelled share options at modification date and there was modification of milestone-based vesting conditions and the modification of vesting conditions is not beneficial to that employee. Thus, the amount to be recognized for services received from that employee continues to be measured based on the grant date fair value and vesting conditions of the old share options.

With respect to 1,021,801 new options granted to one employee mentioned above, the total fair value of the new share options granted was less than that of the cancelled share options as the exercise price of certain new share options at modification date was increased from US$0.071 under Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I to US$2.449 under Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II per share and there was modification of both time-based and milestone-based vesting conditions which are not beneficial to that employee. Thus, the amount to be recognized for services received from that employee continues to be measured based on the grant date fair value and vesting conditions of the old share options.

With respect to 600,000 new options granted to one employee mentioned above, the total fair value of these new share options granted had no material difference to that of the cancelled share options and there was modification of milestone-based vesting conditions and the modification of vesting conditions is not beneficial to that employee. Thus, the amount to be recognized for services received from that employee continues to be measured based on the grant date fair value and vesting conditions of the old share options.

The granted options under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I have a contractual option term of ten years. Options granted must be taken up within 10 years from the date of grant, upon payment US$0.071 per option at the time of exercise (equivalent to HK$0.554 per option). No consideration is payable on the grant of an option. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash. The options may not be exercised until they vest. Once vested, the vested portion of the options may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time.

Note: Milestone-based pre-IPO share options are granted conditionally upon the achievement of a specified performance target including but not limited to, completion of the Listing, marketing authorization of various drug candidates or achievement of sales targets by a specific time and the expected vesting
periods are estimated by the directors of the Company based on the most likely outcome of the performance conditions.
On 29 March 2019, the board of directors of the Company passed a resolution to change certain performance targets and the estimated dates of the most
likely outcome of performance conditions in relation to certain milestone-based share options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I which were
not beneficial to the employees. Thus, the amount to be recognized for services received from the employee continues to be measured based on the original
vesting conditions.

(a) Equity-settled pre-IPO share option scheme of the Company: (Continued)

  • (i) (Continued)

Fair values of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I

These fair values were calculated using the binomial model. The inputs into the model were as follows:

Date of grant
10.10.2018 30.6.2019 8.11.2019
Ordinary share price as at date of grant US$2.195 US$2.437 US$5.379
Exercise price US$0.071 US$0.071 US$0.071
Expected volatility 38.8% 32.2% 32.1%
Expected life 10 years 10 years 10 years
Risk-free rate 3.17% 2.05% 1.95%
Expected dividendyield 0% 0% 0%

The expected volatility measured at the standard deviation is based on the historical data of the daily share price movement of comparable companies. The fair value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

30. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES (Continued)

(a) Equity-settled pre-IPO share option scheme of the Company: (Continued)

(ii) Pursuant to a written resolution of the shareholders of the Company dated 29 March 2019, another pre-IPO share option scheme (the “Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II”) of the Company was approved and adopted on 9 April 2019. The Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II was established to recognize and motivate the contribution of the eligible persons and to provide incentives and help the Group in retaining its Employees, and to recruit additional employees and to provide them with a direct economic interest in attaining the long-term business objectives of the Group. Under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II, the board of directors of the Company may grant options to the eligible persons to subscribe for shares in the Company.

On 30 June 2019, options to subscribe for an aggregate of 2,086,054 shares of the Company, which included 237,141 share options issued as replacement for certain options cancelled under Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme I, representing 2.0% of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of grant, at an exercise price of either US$1.225 or US$2.449 per share (equivalent to HK$9.555 or HK$19.102 per share) of the Company, have been granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II of the Company conditionally upon the Listing.

On 8 November 2019 and 13 November 2019, the Group has granted a total of additional 386,943 and 54,000 share options, respectively, at an exercise price of either US$1.225 or US$2.449 per share (equivalent to HK$9.555 or HK$19.102 per share) of the Company, to certain employees under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II, representing 0.4% of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of grant.

The granted options have a contractual option term of ten years. Options granted must be taken up within ten years from the date of grant, upon payment of either US$1.225 or US$2.449 per option (equivalent to HK$9.555 or HK$19.102 per option). No consideration is payable on the grant of an option. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to repurchase or settle the options in cash. The options may not be exercised until they vest. Once vested, the vested portion of the options may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time.

(a) Equity-settled pre-IPO share option scheme of the Company: (Continued)

  • (ii) (Continued)

Fair value of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme II (Continued)

The expected volatility measured at the standard deviation is based on the historical data of the daily share price movement of comparable companies. The fair value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

(b) Share option scheme with cash-settled alternatives of Suzhou Alphamab

Since May 2014, Suzhou Alphamab had issued 5 batches of share options under the SZ ESOP Plan as an incentive to employees and management of Suzhou Alphamab. Under the SZ ESOP Plan, the grantees can choose to settle in cash based on a calculation methodology as stated in the plan or in equity when Suzhou Alphamab completed the listing of its shares. Such SZ ESOP Plan was accounted for as a compound financial instrument, which includes a debt component (i.e. the counterparty’s right to demand payment in cash) and an equity component (i.e. the counterparty’s right to demand settlement in equity instruments rather than in cash).

During the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group recognized share-based payment expenses of RMB205,000 (2018: RMB263,000) that are allocated to the Oncology Business under the SZ ESOP Plan.

The Group manages its capital to ensure the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt, which includes amount due to a related company, lease liabilities, bank borrowings and convertible redeemable preferred shares as disclosed in Notes 23, 24, 26 and 27, respectively, net of cash and cash equivalents, and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital, accumulated losses and various reserves.

The directors of the Company regularly review the capital structure from time to time. As part of this review, the directors of the Company consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors of the Company, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debts and redemption of existing debts.

Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit and counterparty risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s financial risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance by actively managing debt level and cash flow in order to maintain a strong financial position and minimising refinancing and liquidity risks by attaining healthy debt repayment capacity, appropriate maturity profile and availability of banking facilities. The Group adheres to a policy of financial prudence and did not use any derivative financial instruments during both years.

32b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include other receivables, financial assets at FVTPL, cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with original maturity over three months, trade and other payables, amount due to a related company, bank borrowings, lease liabilities and convertible redeemable preferred shares.

Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The directors of the Company manage and monitor the below risks exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Currency risk

Certain bank deposits, trade and other payables and convertible redeemable preferred shares are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the relevant group entities, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk.

The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

The amounts denominated in EUR is not material and no sensitivity analysis is therefore presented as the exposure is considered to be immaterial.

The Group is exposed to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rate of US$ and HKD. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in US$ and HKD against RMB. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the end of the year for a 10% change in US$ and HKD. A positive/negative number below indicates a decrease/an increase in loss for the year where US$/HKD strengthens 10% against RMB and for a 10% weakening of US$/HKD against RMB, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the loss for the year.

32b. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) Market risk (Continued)

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to time deposits with original maturity over three months/less than three months, lease liabilities and fixed-rate convertible redeemable preferred shares as disclosed in Notes 21, 24 and 27. The Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate cash and cash equivalents and variable-rate bank borrowing as disclosed in Notes 21 and 26, respectively. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of interests rates on bank balances and benchmark borrowing rate arising from its borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rate risk for bank balances/deposits and borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of bank balances/deposits and borrowings outstanding at the end of the year were outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rate is used.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss for the year ended 31 December 2019, would increase/decrease by RMB879,500 (2018: RMB23,000).

Other price risk

The Group is exposed to other price risk for its financial assets at FVTPL.

No sensitivity analysis is presented as the exposure is considered to be insignificant.

Credit and counterparty risk

Credit and counterparty risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting financial loss to the Group.

In order to minimize the credit risk, the directors of the Company review the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Other receivables

The Group assessed the ECL for its other receivables individually based on internal credit rating which, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, have no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. ECL is estimated based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of debtors and is adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. No 12-month ECL was made for other receivables with gross carrying amounts of RMB80,000 (2018: RMB276,000) (representing refundable rental deposits) as at 31 December 2019, as the amounts involved are not material and the estimated loss rates were less than 5%.

The Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual receivable at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the credit risk is significantly reduced.

Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits with original maturity over three months

A significant portion of the Group’s bank balances/deposits are placed with a few state-owned banks in the PRC and international banks in Hong Kong with gross carrying amounts of RMB2,370,755,000 (2018: RMB633,712,000) as at 31 December 2019. The credit risks on bank balances/deposits are limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Other than the credit risks mentioned above, the Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk.

No 12-month ECL (2018: Nil) has been provided during the year ended 31 December 2019 as the estimated loss rates were considered to be insignificant.

Liquidity risk

As at 31 December 2019, the Group had available unutilised banking facilities of RMB320,000,000 (2018: RMB370,000,000).

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate at the end of the year.
