The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of China Overseas Nuoxin International Holdings Limited (the "Company") is pleased to present the unaudited interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") for the six months ended 30 September 2021.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Group's turnover for the six months ended 30 September 2021 (the "Current Period") was approximately HK\$148,350,000, which represents a decrease of approximately 23.5% from HK\$193,997,000 during the corresponding period last year (the "Last Corresponding Period"). The decrease was mainly due to the persistent COVID-19 pandemic, which adversely affected the demand of the Group's products from customers of the European and Asian markets.
Gross profit for the Current Period amounted to approximately HK\$11,247,000, which represented a decrease of approximately 51.2% from approximately HK\$23,027,000 in the Last Corresponding Period. Gross profit over revenue ("Gross Profit Margin") during the Current Period was approximately 7.6% compared to 11.9% in the Last Corresponding Period, which represented a decrease of 4.3 percentage points. The decrease was mainly caused by the increase in material costs, especially electronic and metal related components, and overhead costs; and the absence of government subsidies of approximately HK\$4,000,000 recorded in the Last Corresponding Period as compared to the Current Period.
Net loss for the Current Period was approximately HK\$13,069,000, which represented an increase of approximately 517.9% from approximately HK\$2,115,000 in the Last Corresponding Period.
Basic loss per share was HK2.933 cents, which represented an increase of 517.5% from a loss per share of HK0.475 cents in the Last Corresponding Period.
The Board has resolved not to declare the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2021 (six months ended 30 September 2020: Nil).
BUSINESS REVIEW
Market Review
The Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of electrical haircare appliances. The Group's manufacturing base is located in Dongguan, the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), with its products mainly sold on original design manufacturing (ODM) and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) base.
In the first half of 2021, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has continuously dampened consumer sentiment in the global retail market. Even though the global economic activities are gradually increasing because of the increasing global vaccination rate, companies from all sectors still concern about the business environment and continuously monitor and adjust their business approaches with caution. The retail industry in particular was suffering from huge hit as a result of the epidemic consumers sentiment. The Group is no exception. Nonetheless, with the long partnerships with our customers and profound financial risk management, the Group has minimized the impact with various cost savings efforts.
During the Current Period, the Group continued to face strong pressure from customers requesting price reductions for mature products, the Group will closely communicate with the customers to understand and accommodate their situation and provide different solutions to overcome this challenge.
Most of the Group's customers are renowned global brands. The five major customers have accounted for approximately 72% and 79% of its total turnover during the Current Period and the Last Corresponding Period, respectively. The Group believes that the European and Asian markets will remain the major geographic revenue contributors in the coming years.
Operation Review
Mainland China remains the Group's major production center. Similar to other manufacturers in Mainland China, the Group has faced a series of operating challenges, such as the difficulties in recruiting production line operators. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage the economy, rising raw material costs, tight overseas transportation and appreciation of the renminbi, market conditions remain challenging. However, the Group's continued efforts to optimise its product mix, focus on high margin products and expansion in scale advantage mitigated the negative effects of the intensified market competition.
As always, the Group relentlessly strives for strict controls over materials purchase cost, rational investment in machinery and manpower and rigorous product quality control so as to boost production capacity and efficiency and alleviate the pressure from shortage of production line workers, eliminate wastes and ultimately reduce costs.
On the other hand, the Group puts extra efforts on improving the competitiveness of its high quality products together with bolstering its R&D capabilities with an aim to enhance its market share and achieved a long term relationship with its customers.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The Group had approximately HK\$25,518,000 in bank and cash balances as at 30 September 2021 (31 March 2021: HK\$27,987,000). The Group's net current liabilities were approximately HK\$9,448,000 (31 March 2021: net current assets HK\$1,741,000). The current ratio was 1.0 (31 March 2021: 1.0).
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES (Continued)
The Group had aggregate banking facilities of approximately HK\$83,400,000 (31 March 2021: HK\$83,400,000), of which approximately HK\$29,732,000 (31 March 2021: HK\$31,461,000) was utilized. The borrowings comprised trade finance facilities of approximately HK\$29,732,000 (31 March 2021: HK\$31,461,000) with maturity due within one year. The bank borrowings carry interest at rates ranging from HIBOR/LIBOR plus 1.8% to 2.0% (31 March 2021: 1.8% to 2.0%) or 1% (31 March 2021: 1%) below the prime rate.
As at 30 September 2021, the Group's net gearing ratio was approximately 5.4% (31 March 2021: 4.0%). This was calculated by dividing the net amount of borrowings (including bank borrowings after deduction of cash and cash equivalents) by total equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 30 September 2021.
The Group has adopted a prudent financial and funds management approach towards its treasury policies and will continuously monitor financial resources to ensure sufficient funding to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
The Group's financial statements are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. The Group conducts its business transactions mainly in Hong Kong dollars, United States dollars and Renminbi. As the Hong Kong dollar remains pegged to the United States dollar, there is no material exchange rate risk in this respect. To manage the fluctuation of the Renminbi exchange rate, the Group has successfully generated revenue in Mainland China to hedge Renminbi receipts and payments on an ongoing basis. The Group has not used any financial instrument to hedge its foreign exchange risk. All of the Group's bank loan facilities were denominated in Hong Kong dollars and carry interest at floating rates.
SUFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC FLOAT
Based on information that is publicly available to the Company and within the knowledge of its Directors, as at the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this report, the Company has maintained sufficient public float of its issued shares as required under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
CONTRACTUAL AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
As at 30 September 2021, the Group had capital commitments of approximately HK\$1,723,000 (31 March 2021: HK\$823,000).
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As at 30 September 2021, the Group had no material contingent liabilities (31 March 2021: Nil).
EMPLOYMENT AND REMUNERATION POLICY
As at 30 September 2021, the Group employed 24 staff in Hong Kong (30 September 2020: 29) and a total work force of 1,079 people (30 September 2020: 1,222) inclusive of all its staff and workers in China. For the Current Period, the total staff costs (including Directors' remuneration) were approximately HK\$44,836,000 (Last Corresponding Period: HK\$50,185,000) and the decrease in staff costs was mainly attributable to the decrease in the size of the total work force. The Group's remuneration policy is underscored by the principle of awarding equitable packages to employees, incentive-based where applicable, with remuneration being performance-oriented and market-competitive. Remuneration packages are normally reviewed on a regular basis. Apart from salary payments, the Group offers other staff benefits including share option scheme, performance-based bonuses, provident fund contributions and medical insurance coverage.
OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS
With reference to the existing principal haircare appliances businesses, the Group anticipates that the businesses will face several key challenges. These include sluggish demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pressure from shortage of skilled labour in Mainland China and currency fluctuations. At the same time, the predictability of future sales orders received is comparatively low which presents difficulties in planning the allocation of resources ahead.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic is generally under control in China, the global economy suffered immeasurable adverse impact given the uncertainties in respect of the epidemic prevention and control outside China. In addition, the implementation of the policy of electricity supply control in China will have an additional impact on the supply of raw materials and decrease the production capacity. In light of the complicated domestic and global economic conditions, the Group will continue to optimize and recalibrate the composition of raw materials supply, while identifying new suppliers to secure a sufficient supply.
The Group will continue to explore opportunities, to expand and diversify its business and activities, with a view to create new sources of income and to maximize the return to the Company and its shareholders in the long run.

As at 30 September 2021, the listed shares of HK\$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company (the "Shares") was 445,646,000 Shares.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 10 November 2004 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. Its shares have been listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") since 16 June 2005. The registered office of the Company is located at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. Its ultimate holding company is Luckever Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is at Unit B, 12/F., Hang Seng Causeway Bay Building, 28 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are design, manufacture and sale of electrical haircare appliances.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars ("HK\$"), and all values are rounded to nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange ("Listing Rules") and Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for buildings in PRC, which are measured at revalued amounts.
For the six months ended 30 September 2021
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Certain new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") have been issued by the HKICPA. The Directors considered that the adoption of those new HKFRSs which are effective for the accounting periods beginning on 1 April 2021 will not have any material impact on the preparation and presentation of the results and financial conditions of the current period and previous periods. For the HKFRSs that are not yet effective nor have not been early adopted, the Group is in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of the newly issued HKFRSs.
3. REVENUE
Revenue represents the net amounts received and receivable from sale of electrical haircare appliances, which are recognised at a point in time.
4. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
The Group on average experiences higher sales in the second and third quarters of the financial year, compared to other quarters in the financial year, due to the increased retail demand for its products during the Christmas holiday and the Chinese New Year period. The Group anticipates this demand by increasing its production to build up inventories during the second quarter of the financial year. Those built-up inventories still held at the end of the interim reporting period are sold off in the third quarter of the financial year.
For the six months ended 30 September 2021
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information reported to the executive directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resources allocation and assessment of performance of a single reportable and operating segment, which is the design, manufacture and sale of electrical haircare appliances.
Revenue associated with the sale of products are recognised at the point in time when control of the promised goods has been transferred to the customers. The point in time when control transfers to the customer depends on the contractually agreed upon shipping terms, but typically occurs once the product has been shipped. Transportation and handling activities that occur before the customers obtain control over the relevant goods are considered as fulfilment activities.
The Group's revenue from external customers by geographical location of customers irrespective of the origin of the goods is as follows:
