NOTES:

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

China Minsheng Drawin Technology Group Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in Bermuda on 28 February 1991 under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda and its issued shares are listed on the main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) starting from 25 July 1991.

The address of the registered office of the Company is Canon’s Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda. The principal place of business of the Company is Suites 1001-1004, Level 10, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are prefabricated construction work, licensing and property investment in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and rounded to the nearest thousand (“HK$’000”), unless otherwise stated.

The ultimate parent company of the Company is China Minsheng Investment Corp. Ltd., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China.

The annual results set out in this announcement do not constitute the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 but are extracted from those financial statements.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have been consistently applied to the period and year presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (”HKFRSs”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance Cap. 622. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and investment properties, which are carried at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)

New amendments of HKFRSs adopted by the Group in 2017

HKFRS 12 (Amendments) Amendments to “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
on clarifying that the disclosure requirement of the
standard is applicable to interests in entities classified as
held for sale except for summarised financial information
HKAS 12 (Amendments) Amendments to “Income Taxes” on how to account for
deferred tax assets related to debt instruments measured
at fair value
HKAS 7 (Amendments) Amendments to “Statement of Cash Flows” regarding
additional disclosure on changes in liabilities arising
from financing activities

The adoption of the above new amendments and improvements starting from 1 January 2017 did not give rise to any significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position for the year ended 31 December 2017.

8 INCOME TAX (CREDIT)/EXPENSE (continued)

Hong Kong profits tax

The applicable Hong Kong profits tax rate is 16.5% (year ended 31 December 2016: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profit derived in Hong Kong for the year.

PRC corporate income tax

Under the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“CIT Law”), the CIT rate applicable to the Group’s subsidiaries established in mainland China is 25%.

The CIT Law and its implementation rules impose a withholding tax at 10% for dividends distributed by a PRC-resident enterprise to its immediate holding company outside PRC for earnings generated beginning 1 January 2008 and undistributed earnings generated prior to 1 January 2008 are exempted from such withholding tax. A lower 5% withholding tax rate may be applied when the immediate holding companies are established in Hong Kong according to the tax treaty arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong. The Company’s mainland China subsidiaries did not have plan for distribution dividend to the Company, thus no such withholding tax was accrued (31 December 2016: Nil).

9 DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors did not recommend any payment of dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2017 (year ended 31 December 2016: Nil).

10 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

(a) Basic

Basic earnings/(loss) per share for the year is calculated by dividing the consolidated earnings/(loss) of the Group attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Consolidated earnings/(loss) attributable to owners

– 10 –

10 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE (continued)

(b) Diluted

Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has only one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares for the year ended 31 December 2016, which was the convertible bond (Note 18). The convertible bond was fully exercised by the bond owner in exchange of 1 billion ordinary shares at HK 0.2 per share on 6 November 2017.

The convertible bond is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares from the beginning of the year, and the earnings attributable to owners of the Company is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect before the conversion. Given the impact of conversion of convertible bond on earnings per share is anti-dilutive for the year ended 31 December 2017 and 2016, diluted earnings/(loss) per share therefore is equal to basic earnings/(loss) per share.

Notes:

  • (a) On 24 December 2014, the Group entered into a non-legally binding framework agreement with Greenland Holding Group Company Limited (“Greenland”) relating to a possible acquisition of the entire interest of Jinhong Property Development Limited by the Group. Subsequently, a total HK$28 million was paid to Greenland as refundable earnest money. On 8 March 2016, the Group had decided not to proceed with the possible acquisition and the framework agreement had lapsed pursuant to its terms. In 2016, the Group recognised HK$21 million impairment for the above earnest money after unsuccessful claim for such refund for an extended period of time. On February 2017, the Group filed lawsuits against Greenland. On 22 May 2017, a court mediation letter which required Greenland to refund the earnest money to the Group was issued. On 31 May 2017, the entire earnest money of HK$28 million was recovered by the Group and the impairment loss of HK$21 million previously recognised was reversed in 2017 accordingly.

  • (b) This refers to outstanding redemption proceeds as of 31 December 2016 in relation to a private fund due from Quantum Enhanced Fund (“QEF”). On 24 November 2016, the Group filed a lawsuit against QEF to recover the outstanding principal and its related costs and interests. In 2016, the Group recognised a HK$9 million impairment loss for the principal amount redeemable from QEF due to the unfavourable response after repeated requests. On 13 February 2017, a court judgement was entered against QEF in favour of the Group. However, as QEF has not responded to the statutory demands and the court judgement, the Group took further legal action by filing a petition for winding up QEF on 31 March 2017. After above continuous efforts of the Group to collect the receivables, the full amount of HK$18.2 million and approximately HK$1.4 million related interest income were subsequently recovered by the Group in June 2017. Accordingly, the impairment loss previously recognised of HK$9 million was reversed in 2017.

  • (c) In September 2017, the Group disposed 10% equity interest in China Minsheng Drawin Technology (Pingdingshan) Limited and the remaining of the consideration is included in the other receivable.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Strong Market Potential Continued as China Focused on Innovation, Industrial Upgrade and Reforms

It was a very strong year for equities in 2017. There are also clear signals that Euro Zones and Japanese policymakers are withdrawing from their QE stimulus in the near future. While the US Federal Reserve has started to raise interest rates, rates so far have remained at relatively soft-bottom levels throughout much of the world. In our views, we believe the moderate approach in guiding US interest rates hike, as it structured today, is in the right direction to bolster the global resilience and steady economic growth. The recent trade friction between China and the US had pulled major indexes into correction landscape, though the trade policy could take years to affect markets, the two nations are still aggressively dragging their feet on resolving the deal which in large part will do good to the global economy. Many analysts believe the conflict will sooner or later be eased or compromised as long as there is a good chance for them to get back to the negotiating table.

In China, the recent twin meetings of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress have laid out concrete economic targets and policy tasks for 2018. The core focus has shifted clearly to the supply-side, with an emphasis on innovation, industrial upgrade and reforms. The government will continue to focus on supply-side reforms, pushing for capacity cut, costs reduction and environmental control for businesses, positive to the industry leaders in the upstream sectors. GDP and CPI growth targets are kept at “around 6.5%” and “around 3%” respectively. Stable growth while maintaining basically stable macro leverage level should continue, generating upside to the overall employment and labor wages. On property, China will continue shanty town redevelopment and “long-term housing mechanism”, including construction activities on rental projects and social units, these should help to increase our PC sales opportunities and market penetration.

Accelerating the Pace of Prefabricated Construction Across the Country

The Company is the first listed enterprise under China Minsheng Investment Corp. Ltd., focusing on the modernization of construction industry in China. With its development of over three years, its concentration on the research and operations prefabricated construction industrial chain has made it equip with leading industrial and technological capabilities.
