MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Results

Zhong Fa Zhan Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) recorded a drop in revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2014 (the “Review Period”). The sales turnover of the Group decreased by 7.8% from HK$41.2 million to HK$38.0 million for the Review Period. The Group maintained a similar level of gross profit margin of 10.8% for the Review Period as compared to the 10.4% of last reporting period; while the gross profit reduced slightly by 4.7% from HK$4.3 million to HK$4.1 million. The Group recorded a net loss of HK$9.1 million for the six months ended 30 September 2014 (2013: net loss of HK$7.2 million). Basic loss per share were 3.2 HK cents (2013: basic loss per share were 2.7 HK cents).

Business Review

The Group focused on jewelry wholesale business in domestic market of the People Republic of China (the “PRC”) for the Review Period. We were able to keep our gross profit margin at approximately 10% by sustaining our cost control measures but the tough operating environment has diminished our turnover further. The competition remained intense during the Review Period, posing a great challenge to our business. The relatively small scale of the Group’s business has put us in a difficult position where we find it harder year by year to bargain for favourable terms; hence placing the odds on our competitors in terms of pricing and cost saving. As a result, our sales turnover has decreased by 7.8% to HK$38.0 million during the Review Period owing to the decline in overall demand of fine jewelry of the Group.

Future Prospects

Going forward, the Group expects the global economy to be still volatile and unstable. Moreover, the diminishing spending momentum in the PRC may further drive down the demand for fine jewelry and therefore bringing us a more challenging future ahead. To cope with these challenges, we will optimize our resources allocation and adopt a prudent approach to operate our business in the PRC to attain a more satisfactory result.

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 opportunities arise, the Group may consider diversifying its business with an objective to broaden its income source; in this regard, the Group will also consider whether corresponding financing arrangements are needed to cope with such diversification. Currently no such investment or business opportunities had been identified nor had the Group entered into any agreement, arrangements, understandings, intention or negotiation in relation to the injection of any assets or business into the Group.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

As at 30 September 2014, the Group’s net current assets and current ratio stood at HK$35.6 million and 2.7 respectively (31 March 2014: HK$13.5 million and 1.5 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 2014 (31 March 2014: Nil).

As at 30 September 2014, the Group had no bank borrowings (31 March 2014: Nil) and no banking facilities (31 March 2014: Nil). As at 30 September 2014, the Group’s bank balances and cash amounted to HK$24.7 million (31 March 2014: HK$13.4 million).

Charges on Group Assets

As at 30 September 2014, the Group did not have any charges on the Group’s assets (31 March 2014: Nil).

2014/15 Interim Report

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Capital Structure

For the six months ended 30 September 2014, the Group financed its liquidity requirements through cash flows 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 2014.

Capital Commitment and Contingent Liabilities

As at 30 September 2014, the Group did not have any capital commitments (31 March 2014: Nil) and had HK$2.8 million of operating lease commitments (31 March 2014: HK$4.2 million). As at 30 September 2014, the Group did not have any significant contingent liabilities (31 March 2014: Nil).

Staff and Remuneration Policy

As at 30 September 2014, the Group had a total of 48 employees (31 March 2014: 51). Staff costs for the Review Period was HK$7.8 million, representing an increase of 8.3% as compared to the corresponding period ended 30 September 2013 of HK$7.2 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 2014, no forward foreign currency contracts are designated in hedging accounting relationships (31 March 2014: 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 2014 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.
