MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Results

Zhong Fa Zhan Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) was reporting a mild revenue growth for the six months ended 30 September 2013 (the “Review Period”). The sales turnover of the Group increased by 7.3% from HK$38.4 million to HK$41.2 million for the Review Period. The gross profit grew significantly by 72.0% from HK$2.5 million to HK$4.3 million with gross profit margin improved to 10.4% during the Review Period as compared to 6.5% of last reporting period.

Despite the increased gross profit, the Group recorded a net loss of HK$7.2 million for the six months ended 30 September 2013 (2012: net loss of HK$22.2 million). Basic loss per share were 2.7 HK cents (2012: basic loss per share were 8.1 HK cents). Given the fact that the one-off expense of HK$16.4 million resulted from the issuance of share options of the Company during the last reporting period in 2012 did not recur during the Review Period, the Group have indeed incurred extra loss from HK$5.8 million to HK$7.2 million from its daily operations as compared to the last reporting period.

Business Review

Although the demand for jewelry by the Group’s customers in the People Republic of China (the “PRC”) remained stable during the Review Period, the Group continued to operate in a challenging environment as the growing operating costs put increasing pressure on the Group. Despite the Group was able to record a sales turnover of HK$41.2 million, representing a slight increase from the last reporting period of HK$38.4 million, its operating loss (excluding share-based payments) was up by 24.1%, which directly indicated that the competition in business was increasingly intense and indirect cost has kept rising. To better control its operating cost, the Group adopted a more prudent policy for inventory and implemented stringent measures for cost control, including outsourcing the production process, aiming to steer away from the unpredictability in the labour market and at the same time laying a solid foundation for operating cost.

Future Prospects

As the US government continues monetary easing policy and the global economic environment is still volatile, the development of fine jewelry market remains uncertain. We maintain a cautious, “wait and see” position as to the prospective demand in fine jewelry products in the PRC, notwithstanding the continuous appreciation in Renminbi (“RMB”) and the increasingly affluent population there. On the other hand, increasingly intense competition in the jewelry industry will inevitably contract the Group’s profit margin. As such, we will further outsource our production process, with view to minimise the negative impact of the unpredictable labour market to the largest extent. The Group will adhere to its policy of prudence and optimize our resource allocation under the business model of caution, so as to strengthen our business fundamentals for our business operation in China.

The Group will also closely monitor and review our business operations and financial position for the purposes of formulating business plans and strategies for the future business development of the Group. Should suitable investment or business opportunity arise, the Group may consider diversifying the business of the Group in order to broaden its sources of income.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

As at 30 September 2013, the Group’s net current assets and current ratio stood at HK$25.3 million and 1.9 respectively (31 March 2013: HK$23.8 million and 2.5 respectively). Net gearing ratio (total interest bearing borrowings net of bank balances and cash as a percentage of total equity) was nil as at 30 September 2013 (31 March 2013: Nil).

As at 30 September 2013, the Group had no bank borrowings (31 March 2013: Nil) and no banking facilities (31 March 2013: Nil). As at 30 September 2013, the Group’s bank balances and cash amounted to HK$18.2 million (31 March 2013: HK$7.6 million).

2013/14 Interim Report 3

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Charges on Group Assets

As at 30 September 2013, the Group did not have any charges on the Group’s assets (31 March 2013: Nil).

Capital Structure

For the six months ended 30 September 2013, the Group financed its liquidity requirements through cash flow as generated from operation and loan from a controlling shareholder.

Dividend

The board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of the Company has resolved not to recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2013.

Capital Commitment and Contingent Liabilities

As at 30 September 2013, the Group did not have any capital commitments (31 March 2013: Nil) and had HK$4.6 million of operating lease commitments (31 March 2013: HK$5.8 million). As at 30 September 2013, the Group did not have any significant contingent liabilities (31 March 2013: Nil).

Staff and Remuneration Policy

As at 30 September 2013, the Group had a total of 62 employees (31 March 2013: 62). Staff costs for the Review Period was HK$7.2 million, representing an increase of 35.8% as compared to the corresponding period ended 30 September 2012 of HK$5.3 million. The Group remunerates its employees based on their performance and work experience and the prevailing market rates. Salaries of employees are maintained at competitive levels while bonuses are granted by reference to the performance of the Group and individual employees.

The Group also provides internal training to its employees when necessary and other benefits including share option scheme and contribution to statutory mandatory provident fund scheme to its employees in Hong Kong and the statutory central pension schemes to its employees in the PRC.

Foreign Exchange Fluctuation and Hedges

Currently, the Group was principally based in the PRC and was not significantly exposed to foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transaction and recognized assets and liabilities. While the Group would closely monitor the volatility of the RMB exchange rate, the Directors considered that the Group’s risk exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation remained minimal currently.

As at 30 September 2013, no forward foreign currency contracts are designated in hedging accounting relationships (31 March 2013: Nil).

REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

==> picture [72 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ZHONG FA ZHAN HOLDINGS LIMITED

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Zhong Fa Zhan Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 10 to 20, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2013 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Main Board Listing Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“HKAS 34”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.
