NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2019
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Brainhole Technology Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 10 September 2014 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Cayman Companies Law, Chapter 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands and its shares had been listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange since 9 October 2015 and subsequently transferred its listing to the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 21 July 2017.

The address of the principal place of business of the Company is Office A, 31st Floor, Billion Plaza II, 10 Cheung Yue Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Its immediate holding company is Yoho Bravo Limited, a company incorporated in the BVI with limited liability and its ultimate controlling party is Mr. Zhang.
The Company is principally engaged in investment holding and the principal activities of its subsidiaries are the manufacturing and trading of electronic and electrical parts and components, and provision of services for broadband infrastructure construction services, promotion of broadband services, smart domain solution services and operating leases for broadband infrastructure.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Merger accounting for business combination involving entities under common control
On 5 March 2019, Brainhole Technology Investments Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Guangzhou Chong Dong, a company beneficially wholly-owned by Mr. Zhang, for the purchase of its entire interest of Guangzhou Weaving, for a consideration of RMB68,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$78,200,000), subject to profit guarantee adjustment as disclosed in note 10.
The acquisition was completed on 12 September 2019, and Guangzhou Weaving Group have become subsidiaries of the Group since then. As Guangzhou Weaving and the Company are ultimately controlled by Mr. Zhang, the acquisition of Guangzhou Weaving was regarded as business combination under common control.
5
The net assets of the combining entity or business are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest. The adjustments to eliminate share/ registered capital of the combining entity or business against the related investment costs have been made to merger reserve in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The details of the restated balances have been disclosed in note 10.
The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the prior periods have been restated to include the operating results of Guangzhou Weaving Group as if this acquisition had been completed on 27 April 2018, being the earliest date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of Mr. Zhang.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRS(s)”)
In the current year, the Group has applied, for its first time, the following new and amendments to HKFRSs, which include HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) and Hong Kong (International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee) Interpretation (“HK(IFRIC)-Int”), issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).
| HKFRS 16 | Leases |
|---|---|
| HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 | Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments |
| Amendments to HKFRS 9 | Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation |
| Amendments to HKAS 19 | Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement |
| Amendments to HKAS 28 | Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures |
| Amendments to HKFRSs | Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2015 – 2017 Cycle |
The adoption of HKFRS 16 resulted in changes in the Group’s accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements as summarises below.
The application of other new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and position for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
6
3.1 Impacts on adoption of HKFRS 16 Leases
HKFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating lease and finance lease and requiring the recognition of right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. Details of these new accounting policies are described in annual report. The Group has applied HKFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity, where appropriate, at 1 January 2019. Accordingly, certain comparative information may not be comparable as comparative information was prepared under HKAS 17 Leases.
On transition to HKFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which arrangements are, or contain, leases. It applied HKFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC) Int-4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.
The Group as lessee
On adoption of HKFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as “operating leases” under the principles of HKAS 17 (except for lease of low value assets and lease with remaining lease term of 12 months or less). These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was ranged from 2.4% to 4.75%.
The Group recognises right-of-use assets and measures them at either:
-
(i) their carrying amount as if HKFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application – the Group applied this approach to its lease of factory; or
-
(ii) an amount equal to the lease liabilities – the Group applied this approach to lease of offices.
The Group as lessor
The Group leases certain broadband infrastructures and software. The accounting policies applicable to the Group as lessor remain substantially unchanged from those under HKAS 17.
7
The following table summarises the impact of transition to HKFRS 16 at 1 January 2019. Line items that were not affected by the adjustments have not been included.
| Carrying | Carrying | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| amounts | amounts | |||

| Retained profits | (a) | 169,237 | (270) | 168,967 |
| Translation reserve | (10,681) | 5 | (10,676) |
Note (a): As at 1 January 2019, right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to carrying amount as if HKFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease. Any difference between the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities was recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits.
The following table summarises the impact on transition to HKFRS 16 on retained profits and translation reserve at 1 January 2019:
| Balance at 31 December 2018 (Restated) Total change as a result of adoption of HKFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 Balance at 1 January 2019 (Restated) |

Translation reserve HK$’000 (10,681) 5 (10,676) |

Differences between operating lease commitments as at 31 December 2018, the date immediately preceding the date of initial application, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, and the lease liabilities recognised as at 1 January 2019 are as follow:
| Operating lease commitments previously disclosed as at 31 December 2018 Add: Leases from business combination under common control Operating lease commitments as at 31 December 2018 (Restated) Less: Short-term leases with remaining lease term ended on or before 31 December 2019 Discounted using the incremental borrowing rates and lease liabilities recognised at 1 January 2019 Analysed as Non-current portion Current portion |
HK$’000 3,807 3,778 7,585 (325) 7,260 6,805 4,560 2,245 6,805 |
|---|---|
Practical expedients applied
On the date of initial application of HKFRS 16, the Group has also used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
-
the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases; and
-
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
9
New and amendments to HKFRSs issued but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or and HKAS 28 Joint Venture[3] Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business[4] Amendments to HKAS 1 Definition of Material[1] and HKAS 8 Amendments to HKFRS 9, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform[1] HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 Conceptual Framework for Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting[1] Financial Reporting 2018
-
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
-
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
-
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
-
4 Effective for business combinations and assets acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The Directors anticipate that, the application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Group.
4. TURNOVER AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information reported to the Board, being the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of goods delivered. No operating segments identified by the CODM have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group.
Specifically, the Group’s reportable and operating segments under HKFRS 8 Operating Segments are as follows:
-
a) Manufacturing segment engages in selling of electronic and electrical parts and components manufactured by the Group.
-
b) Trading segment engages in trading of electronic and electrical parts and components sourced from third-party suppliers.
-
c) Broadband infrastructure and smart domain segment engages in the provision of broadband infrastructure construction services, promotion of broadband services, smart domain solution services and operating leases for broadband infrastructure.
10
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the method used to distribute the products and/or the nature of production processes.
Despite that all of the Group’s products are of a similar nature, they are subject to dissimilar risks and returns. Accordingly, the Group’s operating activities are attributable to manufacturing, trading and broadband infrastructure and smart domain segments.
Segment revenue represents revenue derived from the manufacturing and trading of electronic and electrical parts and components, and provision of broadband infrastructure construction services, promotion of broadband services, smart domain solution services and operating leases for broadband infrastructure. An analysis of the Group’s revenue for the year from continuing operations is as follows:
| Revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of HKFRS 15 Manufacturing of electronic goods Trading of electronic goods Broadband infrastructure and smart domain: – Broadband infrastructure construction services – Commission income – Provision of smart domain solution services Revenue from other sources Broadband infrastructure and smart domain: Rental income from broadband infrastructure under operating leases – Lease payments that are fixed at a rate |

If the audited consolidated net profit after tax attributable to owners of Guangzhou Weaving falls short of the guaranteed profit of RMB10,000,000 in aggregate for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, the consideration of RMB68,000,000 should be adjusted based on the actual profit in agreed calculation formula.
The fair value of the consideration payable at the date of completion on 12 September 2019 was approximately RMB46,145,000, equivalent to approximately HK$51,514,000, which was determined by an independent valuer. As at 31 December 2019, the Directors consider that the change in fair value of the consideration payable is insignificant.

11. EVENT AFTER REPORTING PERIOD
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) in early 2020 has brought additional uncertainties in the Group’s operating environment. The outbreak of COVID-19 has materially and adversely impacted the sales, some debtors’ repayment abilities and turnover of inventory. The management will closely monitor the situation and continue to assess the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19.
As the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will continue is uncertain, it is not practicable to estimate or quantify the financial impact that may have on the Group’s consolidated financial position and performance as at the date when the consolidated financial statements are authorised to issue.
24
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group is principally engaged in the assembly, packaging and sales of its self-manufactured discrete semiconductors and trading of semiconductors sourced from third-party suppliers.
Due to the global trade dispute and the tariff battle between China and the United States, most of the Group’s customers of semiconductors took a conservative approach in planning their business, and have slowed down their placing of new order during the Period. As a result, the Group’s turnover from manufacturing and trading of semiconductors for the Period dropped by approximately 19.8% as compared to the previous financial year.
During the Period, the turnover from manufacturing business of semiconductors has recorded a decrease of approximately 18.3% as compared to the previous financial year. In addition to its manufacturing business, the Group continues to operate its trading business during the Period, primarily to supplement its sales of self-manufactured products. The Group acts as a solution kits integrator and is engaged in trading of semiconductors that its customers specifically require. These semiconductors, however, are not manufactured by the Group. The product mix required by customers varies from time to time. During the Period, global trade dispute and the tariff battle also hit the trading operations and the turnover from trading of semiconductors dropped by approximately 22.5% as compared to the previous financial year.
During the Period, the Group continued its ongoing efforts in research and development (“R&D”) and innovations. Regarding the semiconductors business, the Group registered 33 patent rights in the PRC in respect of its process innovation and product innovation in 2019. The Group’s principal operating subsidiaries continued to enjoy the status of High and New-Technology Enterprise and is entitled to a reduced PRC Enterprise Income Tax rate at 15%.
The number of the Group’s customers of semiconductors increased from 160 as at 31 December 2018 to 169 as at 31 December 2019.
25
During the Period, the Group completed the acquisition of Guangzhou Weaving, which is principally engaged in broadband infrastructure construction and the provision of integrated solution for smart domain application (including smart home, smart campus and smart communities) in PRC. Its smart domain solution includes hardware for security and identification purposes, software for residence management, energy saving and community services. As smart living has become increasingly popular, the Group believes that the expansion of business to smart living sector can enhance Shareholders’ equity and diversify the Group’s risk portfolio.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Turnover
For the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$346.7 million, as compared to the turnover of approximately HK$388.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. The decrease in turnover was approximately HK$42.0 million or 10.8% when compared to the previous year. It was primarily attributable to the decrease in the sales of semiconductors business as a result of the slowdown of customers’ order due to the global trade dispute and tariff battle.
The slowdown of customers order hit both the manufacturing and trading business of semiconductors. During the Period, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$183.5 million from sales of its selfmanufactured semiconductors, representing a decrease of approximately HK$41.1 million or 18.3% as compared to that of approximately HK$224.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. The production volume of the Group’s self-manufactured semiconductors witnessed an overall decrease during the Period when compared to the previous financial year.
The Group’s trading of semiconductors primarily complements sales of self-manufactured semiconductors when it provides solution kits services to its customers. During the Period, the Group’s turnover derived from its trading of semiconductors amounted to approximately HK$95.8 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$27.8 million or 22.5% as compared to that of approximately HK$123.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The operating results of Guangzhou Weaving Group was consolidated to the Group since 27 April 2018 when the common control by Mr. Zhang firstly existed. Therefore, the decrease in turnover was partially offset with the increase in turnover brought from Guangzhou Weaving Group, which contributed approximately HK$67.3 million to the Group’s turnover during the Period, compared to the turnover of approximately HK$40.4 million for the period from 27 April 2018 to 31 December 2018.
26
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
The Group’s gross profit amounted to approximately HK$61.0 million for the Period, representing a decrease of approximately HK$43.1 million or 41.4% from approximately HK$104.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. It was mainly attributable to the decrease in turnover and gross profit margin of semiconductors business, which led to the gross profit of semiconductors business decreased from approximately HK$90.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$38.3 million for the Period.
However, Guangzhou Weaving contributed gross profit of approximately HK$22.7 million for the Period, while recorded gross profit of approximately HK$13.3 million for the period from 27 April 2018 to 31 December 2018.
The Group’s overall gross profit margin for the Period was approximately 17.6%, representing a decrease of approximately 9.2 percentage points as compared with gross profit margin of approximately 26.8% for the year ended 31 December 2018. Such decrease was primarily due to the decrease of gross profit margin of semiconductor business, which decreased from approximately 26.1% for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately 13.7% for the Period. This was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in labour costs driven by the labour shortage for the manufacture of semiconductors in Dongguan, Guangdong, the PRC; and (ii) the additional costs incurred for new quality assurance system to cope with customers’ new technological standard and requirements on semiconductors.
The gross profit margin of Guangzhou Weaving Group’s business remained relatively stable at approximately 33.7% and 32.9% respectively for the Period and the period from 27 April 2018 to 31 December 2018.
Selling and Distribution Costs
The Group’s selling and distribution costs for the Period was approximately HK$11.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$2.5 million or 17.9% from approximately HK$13.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. The amount mainly represented the selling and distribution costs of semiconductors business and such decrease was in line with the change of turnover of semiconductors during the Period as discussed above.
27
Administrative Expenses
The Group’s administrative expenses for the Period was approximately HK$72.2 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$21.5 million or 42.4% over that of approximately HK$50.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The increase was primarily attributable to, among others, (i) additional costs incurred for the improvement of engineering and quality management for semiconductor business; (ii) increase in staff-related expenses during the Period; and (iii) expenses incurred by the Company in relation to the acquisition of Guangzhou Weaving which took place during the Period.
Income Tax Expense
The Group’s income tax credit for the Period was approximately HK$4.7 million, as compared to income tax expense of approximately HK$3.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. Such decrease of income tax expense was primarily attributable to decrease in operating profits from semiconductors business due to the factors discussed above and the deferred tax impact arising from the impairment loss on trade receivables, plant and equipment and inventories.
(Loss) Profit for the Period
As a result of the foregoing, combined with the effect of the provision for impairment loss of plant and equipment and inventories amounting to approximately HK$22.5 million and HK$10.3 million respectively, as a result of certain types of self-manufactured semiconductors no longer meeting the new technological standard required by customers, the Group’s net loss for the Period was approximately HK$49.9 million, when compared to the net profit of approximately HK$38.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
During the Period, the operations of the Group were primarily funded by internally generated cash flows.
The Group’s outstanding capital commitments as at 31 December 2019 amounted to approximately HK$6.0 million (2018: HK$28.9 million). Such commitments primarily related to the broadband infrastructure construction and purchase of equipment and machinery to meet the demand of the market and quality control improvements in the production plant. Such outstanding commitments are expected to be funded by the Group’s internally generated funds.
28
As at 31 December 2019, the Group had no outstanding bank borrowings.
Please refer to note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in this announcement for the ageing analysis in respect of the trade payables of the Group as at 31 December 2019 and 2018.

The Group adopts conservative treasury policies in cash and financial management. To achieve better risk control and minimise the cost of funds, the Group’s treasury activities are centralised with all bank deposits denominated either in HK$, US$ or RMB. The Group’s liquidity and financing requirements are reviewed regularly. The Group will continue to maintain a prudent capital structure when considering financing for new investments.

The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the Directors continuously monitor the related foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
HUMAN RESOURCES
As at 31 December 2019, the Group had a workforce of 486 full-time employees (including the three executive Directors but excluding the three independent non-executive Directors) of whom approximately 96.5% were employed in the PRC and approximately 3.5% in Hong Kong. The Group’s staff costs (including Directors’ emoluments) for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 amounted to approximately HK$58.9 million and HK$48.7 million, respectively.

It actively pursues a strategy to recruit, develop and retain talented employees by (i) providing them with training programs on a regular basis to keep them abreast of their knowledge in the products it distributes, technology development and market conditions of the electronics industry, broadband infrastructure industry and smart domain industry; (ii) aligning employees’ compensation and incentives with their performance; and (iii) providing them with a clear career path with opportunities for additional responsibilities and promotions.
31
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
While the Group is subject to the PRC environmental laws and regulations including the Environment Protection Law of the PRC, which govern a broad range of environmental matters, including air pollution, noise emissions, discharge of waste water and waste residues, the Directors believe that the Group’s production process does not generate environmental hazards which would pose a significant adverse effect on the environment and that the environmental protection measures undertaken by the Group are adequate to comply with all applicable current local and national PRC regulations.
During the Period and to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, the Group had not received any complaints from its customers or any other parties in respect of any environmental protection issues, and had not experienced any material environmental incidents arising from its manufacturing activities. During the Period, no administrative sanctions or penalties were imposed on the Group for the violation of environmental laws or regulations which had a material adverse impact on its operations.
DIVIDENDS
The Board does not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the Period (2018: Nil).
BUSINESS PROSPECT
Despite the trade tensions having been slightly eased upon the signing of Phase-One trade deal between the United States and China, there are still uncertain factors in between. In addition, the recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease put new downward pressure to the global economy. The Group’s production of semiconductors had also been temporarily suspended after the Chinese New Year. There is still no clue when the coronavirus disease will be under control and it is expected that part of the customer orders of semiconductors would be affected due to the slower economic activity, especially for customers in the PRC and Korea. Although the Group’s production and operation have been resumed, the financial impact of the coronavirus disease to the Group has to be further observed.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards and an effective quality assurance system is critical to the success of the Group. The Group intends to continue its research and development to strengthen its production process and quality control.
32
On the other hand, upon the completion of the acquisition of Guangzhou Weaving during the Period, the Group proactively expanded its business to smart living sector. Guangzhou Weaving is principally engaged in broadband construction infrastructure and the provision of integrated solutions for smart domain application in the PRC, which include smart home, smart campus and smart communities. Under the China’s state policies, technological innovation and development are highly encouraged and supported. At present, China maintains a leading position in 5G network technology in the world, and the full implementation of 5G network in commercial and civilian applications has already been commenced in 2020. It is foreseeable that artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data processing will be benefited continuously from the PRC government’s dedicated support in its development. The technological innovation will speed up and further stimulate the growth and development of technological application in the smart living sector. In view of these, the Group will capitalise the fast-growing demand of technological application in the smart living sector.
In the future, Guangzhou Weaving is dedicated to be a hardware solution integrator for smart domain application. Hence, the Group will keep searching for other acquisition or investment targets, primarily focusing on areas of smart living related technology and electronic parts for artificial intelligence and Internet of Things, which could have potential business synergy with Guangzhou Weaving and semiconductor business.
Looking forward, the Group is vigorous to explore other possible business opportunities, and one of the potential opportunities is to develop smart campus in the PRC, an all-in-one technological innovation industrial parks, that supports and pilots application of innovative solutions, drive new technology development and enhance collaboration of high technology companies. The Group possesses strong management team with high technology expertise and network in the field of mobile telecommunication, networking and smart city. Leveraging on its well-established relationship with telecom carriers and property developers (such as Seedland and R&F Properties), the Group aims to assist local government to build up the smart campus from scratch, including building the innovation centers, inserting necessary infrastructure and technological support. We believe, with the supportive preferential policies from local government, the smart campus can act as an incubator to attract newcomers from nationwide and worldwide to start their research and development and production line of smart technologies within the parks. The Group can enjoy the synergy created together with the incubatees, the property developers and the local government.
