MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

During the six months ended 30 September 2015 (the “Review Period”), the Group was mainly engaged in the domestic jewelry wholesale business in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The business scale has remained relatively modest due to the implementation of austerity measures by the PRC government coupled with fierce market competition. This has limited the Group’s bargaining power, resulting in less favorable operating conditions.

In response to the challenges mentioned, the Group has elected to diversify its operations in an effort to expand income sources. On 1 July 2015, the Group announced its entry into the new energy business by signing a subscription agreement (the “Suncool Subscription Agreement”) with Suncool AB (a Swedish company owned by ClimateWell AB (publ) (“ClimateWell”) to allot and issue 6,000,000 new shares of the Company to Suncool AB at a subscription price of HK$2.10 per share. Warrants were also granted to Suncool AB for subscribing to an aggregate of 24,000,000 new shares of the Company at an exercise price of HK$2.50 per warrant share. The Group also signed subscription agreements (the “Investor Subscription Agreements”) with six independent investors to allot and issue an aggregate of 36,000,000 new shares of the Company to six independent investors at a subscription price of HK$2.10 per share.

On the same date, Suncool AB entered into a 15-year license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Nation Power Group Limited (“Nation Power”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which granted exclusive rights and permissions to Nation Power to use CoolStore concepts, intellectual property and authorized solar heating and cooling collector technologies, which are components of the proprietary triple-state absorption technology, for solar-powered interior climate solutions in the Greater China region. In addition, the Group entered into a consultation agreement (the “Consultation Agreement”) on the same date with China-UK Low Carbon Enterprise (Jiangyin) Investment Management Ltd, a company owned by China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (“CECEP”) for the provision of consultation services to the Group.

For details regarding the Suncool Subscription Agreement, the Investor Subscription Agreements, the License Agreement and the Consultation Agreement, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 5 July 2015 and the circular dated 13 August 2015.

The Group completed the subscription for a total of 36,000,000 shares as at 2 November 2015, which generated total gross proceeds of approximately HK$75,600,000. After deducting related expenses payable by the Company, the net proceeds are intended to be used for the following purposes: (i) approximately HK$50.0 million for the development of the solar business in the PRC; (ii) approximately HK$7.6 million for the repayment of the loan from a controlling shareholder of the Company; and (iii) remaining total net proceeds for general working capital purpose of the Group. The net proceeds received have not been utilized before the date of this announcement.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Prospect

The fine jewelry industry in the PRC will continue to face intense competition in the future. The Group will remain prudent and reduce direct and indirect costs to maintain a stable operating environment. The Group will also explore business opportunities in the jewelry wholesale and retail markets in Hong Kong through various channels, in addition to developing its existing jewelry wholesale business in the PRC.

The PRC government outlined its “Enhanced Actions on Climate Change: China’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions” this June, the strategies of which were subsequently submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Mr. Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council, announced the target of lowering CO2 emissions per unit of GDP by 60% to 65% by 2030 as compared to 2005 levels. As CO2 emissions from air-conditioning systems in commercial and residential buildings account for a considerable percentage of total emissions, the Group is eager to contribute to emissions reduction by leveraging the Groups technical prowess.

“Recommendations for the Development of Economy and Society under the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan from The Central Government” was recently promulgated, which aims to spur energy reforms, instigate innovations in energy technologies and develop a modern energy framework that is clean, generates low levels of carbon, safe and highly efficient. The document has set the direction for energy reforms in the PRC, and the Group believes that massive commercial opportunities will emerge in this field.

The agreements with Suncool AB marks the beginning of the Group’s involvement in the renewable energy business. It will consolidate the Group’s financial status and enhance its liquidity. Suncool AB enjoys strong support from ClimateWell, its parent company with Industrifonden as one of the substantial shareholders. Industrifonden is a venture capital fund backed by the Swedish government and a leading investor in green technologies. ClimateWell is a premier developer of green technologies that are focused on solar heating and cooling, heat-driven air-conditioning systems for heavy-duty vehicles and household air energy water heaters. ClimateWell has formed partnerships with a number of renowned multinational corporations such as GE, Rheem and Caterpillar to manufacture and develop its products. Another one of the substantial shareholders of ClimateWell is Skirner, a family-owned business in Sweden mainly engaged in property development projects and the founder and majority shareholder of SWECO, which is wellknown for providing engineering and environmental consultation services in the region. The Group believes that the experiences of both ClimateWell and Skirner in green technologies and environmental consulting will generate greater synergies with the Group as it enters the business of the renewable energy.

In addition, the Group believes that the extensive knowledge and industry experience of CECEP will enable it to capitalize on potential opportunities in the Chinese solar technology industry. The Suncool Subscription Agreement also makes the start of the Group’s enter into the renewable energy business.

In view of the increasing support from the PRC government, the use of solar energy is expected to become more widespread, thereby driving local market demand for solar heating and cooling collectors is also expected to increase continuously. The Group will utilize its cutting-edge technology and industry experience to develop the cooling pipe, a part of solar collectors, business and will allocate capital raised from the share subscription to install new production lines in the Group’s plant in Yuyao, the PRC. The Group will purchase cooling pipe components from Suncool AB directly and sell them to target customers such as educational institutions and government authorities in the Greater China region on a trial basis. The Group is actively anticipated in the setting up of a Sino-foreign joint venture in Yuyao. The production line of cooling pipe is expected to commence operation by the end of 2016 and contribute significant profits to the Group.

Looking ahead, the Group will actively explore new opportunities to achieve the ultimate goal of creating greater value for its shareholders.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Financial Review

Review of Results

During the Review Period, the Group was affected by the adverse business environment of the wholesale jewelry sector in the PRC domestic market. The drop in the demand for fine jewelry due to the poor consumer sentiment in the PRC, austerity measures by the government and intense industry competition has directly affected the sales and profit margin of the Group. The sales revenue of the Group for the Review Period was approximately HK$9.7 million, representing a decrease of 74% from HK$38.0 million for the six months ended 30 September 2014, while the gross profit margin also decreased from 10.7% to 4.9%.

Despite implementing cost control measures, the decrease of gross profit has increased our net loss for the period from HK$9.1 million for the six months ended 30 September 2014 to HK$11.4 million for the Review Period, representing an increase of 25%. Basic loss per share was 3.9 HK cents (2014: basic loss per share was 3.2 HK cents).

As at 30 September 2015, the Group has net current assets of HK$31.3 million (31 March 2015: HK$23.1 million) of which cash and bank balances were HK$32.8 million (31 March 2015: HK$14.8 million). As at 30 September 2015 and 31 March 2015, the Group had no bank borrowings and no banking facilities. The Group’s gearing ratio as at 30 September 2015 and 31 March 2015 was nil (total interest bearing borrowings divided by bank balance and cash as a percentage of total equity).

The Group financed its liquidity operations requirements through cash flow generated from operations as well as through the loans from a controlling shareholder and the net proceeds from issue of new shares for the Review Period.

On 30 September 2015, a total of 9,000,000 ordinary shares at par value of HK$0.01 each had been allotted and issued by the Company to two independent investors at a price of HK$2.10 per share pursuant to the Investor Subscription Agreements with gross proceeds of HK$18.9 million. Subsequent to the Review Period, a total of 21,000,000 and 6,000,000 ordinary shares at par value of HK$0.01 each had been allotted and issued by the Company to various independent investors and Suncool AB respectively at a price of HK$2.10 per share pursuant to the Investors Subscription Agreements and the Suncool Subscription Agreement with gross proceeds of HK$56.7 million. In addition, on 2 October 2015, the Company issued 24,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of HK$2.50 per warrant share at nil consideration to Suncool AB pursuant to the Suncool Subscription Agreement. The total net proceeds, after deduction of related expenses from the total gross proceeds, are intended to be used as to (i) approximately HK$50.0 million for the development of the solar business in the PRC; (ii) approximately HK$7.6 million for the repayment of the loan from a controlling shareholder of the Company; and (iii) the remaining total net proceeds for the general working capital purposes of the Group. As at 30 September 2015, the net proceeds received have not been utilized and remained available for their intended uses.

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 2015 and 31 March 2015, no forward foreign currency contracts are designated in hedging accounting relationships.

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 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 12 to 22, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2015 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.
