REASONS, DETAILS OF EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE IMPAIRMENT IN RELATION TO THE HAI YUE DISPOSAL
References are made to the announcements of the Company regarding the Hai Yue Disposal dated 12 September 2018, 5 October 2018, 1 November 2018, 6 December 2018, 28 December 2018 and 4 March 2019 and the circular of the Company dated 18 January 2019.
On 12 September 2018, Shenzhen Tai He Chuang Jian Investment Development Company Limited (深圳市泰合創建投資發展有限責任公司) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) (the “ Vendor ”) and Shenzhen Hou Feng Trading Company Limited (深圳市厚 豐貿易有限公司) (the largest shareholder of Hai Yue) (the “ Purchaser ”) entered into the disposal agreement, whereby the Vendor agreed to sell 20% equity interests in Hai Yue to the Purchaser at the consideration of RMB133,000,000 (the “ Disposal Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, the consideration of RMB133,000,000 would be satisfied by the Purchaser in the following manner:
-
(a) the first instalment of RMB20,000,000 shall be payable within 5 business days upon signing of the Disposal Agreement;
-
(b) the second instalment of RMB50,000,000 shall be payable within 5 business days upon the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been approved by the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting of the Company; and
-
(c) the remaining balance of RMB63,000,000 shall be payable within 5 business days after the expiry date of 4 months from the date on which the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been approved by the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting of the Company.
As at 31 December 2019, the outstanding consideration to be paid by the Purchaser was RMB113,000,000 (the “ Outstanding Consideration ”). According to the ECL Report, the expected credit loss amount of the Outstanding Consideration was approximately RMB69,900,000.
The Company considered that no impairment was required to be made to other receivables of the Group for the first half of 2019 as (i) the second instalment was payable on 11 March 2019 according to the payment schedule of the Disposal Agreement, and as at 30 June 2019, being the interim result date of the Group, it was just a short-term overdue amount; (ii) the third instalment was due in July 2019; and (iii) the Purchaser was from time to time updating the Company on the progress of arranging funds to settle the Outstanding Consideration. As such, the Company was of the view that it was reasonable to classify such amount as other receivables for the first half of 2019. However, until 31 December 2019, the Purchaser still did not settle the Outstanding Consideration, and relevant impairment was made by the Company according to the ECL Report.

The Company first became aware of the above event when the draft of the ECL Report was received on 18 May 2020 and relevant adjustment on the impairment loss was made to its consolidated financial statements. The auditor of the Group was then be informed and the draft of the ECL Report was sent to the auditor of the Group immediately. The board of the directors of the Company regarded the Impairment as properly and timely made and announced.
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 28 August 2020 in relation to the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The Outstanding Consideration had been reduced to RMB87,160,000 as at 30 June 2020. The Company will actively negotiate with the Purchaser for the settlement of the balance of the Outstanding Consideration.

Value of Inputs Adopted in Assessing the Impairment
According to the ECL Report, the assessment is developed through the application of the three-stage general approach (the “ General Approach ”) based on the changes in credit quality since initial recognition as outlined by the HKFRS 9. 12-month expected credit loss was determined for receivables categorised under stage 1, and lifetime expected credit loss were determined for receivables categorised under stage 2 and stage 3.
The Company has informed the Valuer that the Purchaser was involved in a litigation in relation to a civil loan dispute in March 2020. According to the ECL Report, the Hai Yue Disposal is in stage 3 and the lifetime expected credit loss is assessed.
By applying the General Approach, the corporate debt default data, corporate debt recovery data and counterparties’ industry default data are adopted as the core inputs in assessing the impairment loss.
