NOTES:

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

China Minsheng Drawin Technology Group Limited (formerly known as “South East Group Limited”, hereinafter 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 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 has been changed to Suites 10011004, Level 10, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong with effective from 9 January 2015.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are property investment and prefabricated construction.

On 27 May 2015, China Minsheng Jiaye Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Minsheng Investment Corp., Ltd., became a substantial shareholder of the Company.

The Company has changed its financial year end date from 31 March to 31 December commencing from the financial period ended on 31 December 2015.

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

The annual results set out in this announcement do not constitute the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 but are extracted from those financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”). 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.

– 4 –

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

2.1 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

  • (a) New amendments of HKFRSs adopted by the Group for the nine months ended 31 December 2015

The following new amendments to existing standards of HKFRSs, are mandatory for the first time for the Group’s financial period beginning on 1 April 2015.

  • Amendment to HKAS 19 “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014). The amendment distinguishes between contributions that are linked to service only in the period in which they arise and those linked to service in more than one period. The amendment allows contributions that are linked to service, and do not vary with the length of employee service, to be deducted from the cost of benefits earned in the period that the service is provided. Contributions that are linked to service, and vary according to the length of employee service, must be spread over the service period using the same attribution method that is applied to the benefits.

  • Amendments from annual improvements 2010-2012 cycle, affecting the following 4 standards: HKFRS 8 “Operating Segments”, HKAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, HKAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures” and HKAS 38 “Intangible Assets” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014).

  • Amendments from annual improvements 2011-2013 cycle, affecting the following 3 standards: HKFRS 3 “Business Combinations’’, HKFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” and HKAS 40 “Investment Property’’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014).

The adoption of the above new amendments starting from 1 April 2015 did not give rise to any significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position for the nine months ended 31 December 2015.

  • (b) New standards and amendments of HKFRSs not yet effective and not early adopted by the Group

A number of new standards and amendments to exiting standards of HKFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2016 or later periods and have not been early adopted by the Group in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Those which are relevant to the Group’s operations are set out below:

– 5 –

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

2.1 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (continued)

  • (b) New standards and amendments of HKFRSs not yet effective and not early adopted by the Group (continued)

HKFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of HKFRS 9 was issued in September 2014. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in HKAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. HKFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.

Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under HKAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

HKFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and HKAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’ and related interpretations. HKFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted.

The management is currently assessing the full impact of the above new standards of HKFRSs that are not yet effective but do not expect they will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements when they are adopted by the Group at their respective effective dates.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

2.2 Accounting period

In light of the Group’s operations are to be carried out mostly through its subsidiaries established or to be established in the People’s Republic of China, which are statutory required to close their accounts with the financial year end date of 31 December, and the financial results of the PRC subsidiaries are to be consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company determined to change its financial year end date from 31 March to 31 December commencing from the financial period ended on 31 December 2015.

Due to the change of the end of the financial period, this set of consolidated financial statements is for a period of nine months from 1 April 2015 to 31 December 2015. The comparative figures, however, are for twelve months from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015, and hence are not comparable.

– 10 –

8. INCOME TAX CREDIT/(EXPENSE) (continued)

Hong Kong profits tax

The applicable Hong Kong profits tax rate is 16.5%. Hong Kong profits tax has not been provided for as the Group has no estimated assessable profits in Hong Kong during the nine months ended 31 December 2015 (year ended 31 March 2015: Nil).

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 make any profit for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 and hence no such withholding tax was accrued (year ended 31 March 2015: Nil).

Land appreciation tax

PRC land appreciation tax is levied at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, being the proceeds from sales of properties less deductible expenditures including lease charges for land use rights and all property development expenditures, and is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as income tax expense.

9. DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors did not recommend any payment of dividend in respect of the nine months ended 31 December 2015 (year ended 31 March 2015: Nil).

– 11 –

10. LOSS PER SHARE

(a) Basic

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

Nine months
ended
31 December 2015

(2.18)
Year ended
31 March 2015
(5,212)
2,032,365
(0.26)

(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 both the nine months ended 31 December 2015 and the year ended 31 March 2015, which is the convertible bond (Note 15). The convertible bond is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net loss is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect. For the nine months ended 31 December 2015 and the year ended 31 March 2015, the Group incurred a loss, the impact of conversion of convertible bond on loss per share is anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per share therefore is equal to basic loss per share.

The aging of trade receivables as at 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2015 based on the invoice issue date are as follows:

As at As at
31 December 31 March
2015 2015
HK$’000 HK$’000
More than 2 years 579 984

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2015 is the carrying value of each class of receivables mentioned above. The Group does not hold any collateral security against the receivables.

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2015, the fair value of trade and other receivables approximate their carrying amounts.

As at 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2015, the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and prepayments are primarily denominated in HK$.

  • (a) On 26 February 2014, the Group (as purchaser) entered into a non-legally binding framework agreement (as supplemented by four supplemental framework agreements dated 23 May 2014, 22 August 2014, 25 November 2014 and 30 December 2014) with Mr. Liu Shu (as vendor) relating to a possible acquisition of certain properties in Shenzhen, the PRC by the Group at a consideration to be determined with reference to the finalised market value of such properties, which shall be satisfied in the combination of cash, consideration shares, promissory notes and/or convertible notes of the Group; and the cash portion of which shall not be less than HK$300 million. Subsequently, a total of HK$72 million was paid to the vendor as earnest money. As no formal agreement was entered into by the long stop date on 25 February 2015, the framework agreement (as supplemented by the four supplemented framework agreements as mentioned above) lapsed on 25 February 2015. The Group had made full provision for bad debt of the refund of the abovementioned earnest money owed to the Group by Mr. Liu Shu after unsuccessful claim for such refund for an extended period of time.

  • (b) On 24 December 2014, the Group entered into a non-legally binding framework agreement relating to a possible acquisition of the entire equity interest of Jinhong Property Development Limited (金鴻置業有限公司) by the Group. 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. Considering the current negotiation with the seller, the Directors are of the view that the Group is likely to collect the refund of substantial part of the earnest money in due course and hence no provision was made.

The fair value of all equity securities is based on their current bid prices in an active market.

15. CONVERTIBLE BOND

(1) Convertible bond issued in 2015

The Company issued a zero coupon convertible bond at a par value of HK$200 million on 27 May 2015.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

STRONG MARKET POTENTIAL AND FAVORABLE INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT UNDER CHINA’S “NEW ECONOMY”

The rise of China’s economy over the past two decades has relied heavily on capital investment and exports backed by a large and relatively cheap labor force. In the coming years, the hope is to steer the economy onto a more sustainable track with growth driven by domestic consumption. With the annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth target no longer a top priority, the central government of China has shifted its attention to creating policy under China’s “new economy” that encourages sustainable development. On the other hand, while developed countries continue to search for ways to stabilize their markets in view of political and economic challenges, emerging markets continue to face headwinds in the midst of mixed economic growth patterns, creating a dichotomy of an uncertain global economic environment and a favorable domestic industry outlook.

The Group believes in turning challenges into opportunities against the backdrop of the current market environment. The construction sector in China still represents a huge market with an annual output of RMB18 trillion in 2015. While the majority of construction companies still use traditional construction methods, the government has encouraged the application of prefabricated and industrialized technologies in construction of buildings in recent years. In addition to upgrading the construction industry in general, concern for the environment is a major reason that the central government has created multi-pronged policies to drive the transformation of the construction industry. Clean production, green building and low-carbon systems have become part of a national level strategy in China’s 13th Five-year Plan. According to “The Opinions and Guidelines on Further Strengthening Urban Planning and Development Management” released by the State Council in February 2016, construction techniques that generate less waste and use fewer resources, such as the use of prefabricated building units and materials, are encouraged, while outlandish architecture that is not economical, functional, aesthetically pleasing or environmentally friendly will be discouraged. In addition, the guidelines projected that 30% of new buildings will be constructed by prefabricated units within the next 10 years. Currently, nearly 40 to 50 cities and provinces in China including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Jiangsu Province, Hunan Province and Fujian Province, have issued favorable policies to support the development of prefabricated construction.

As a result, the Group believes that its expansion strategy of investing in the upstream property development sector, namely building up its capability in industrialized and prefabricated construction, is in line with market trends (including that for property developers) and the national policy. Moreover, this strategy will enable the Group to develop in line with the transition of the construction industry from its current business model, which is associated with high costs, low quality, long construction periods, high energy consumption and severe environmental pollution.

STEADY PROGRESS IN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION

During the period under review, the Group made continuous efforts to establish its network by developing production hubs, i.e. China Minsheng Drawin Green Construction Technology Parks (the “Technology Parks”), in several major cities throughout China. The Technology Parks will provide a one-stop construction solution, including but not limited to R&D, design, production and sales of intelligent and green building construction technology and modules for prefabricated construction.

To achieve its near-term goal of building five Technology Parks, the Group has strived to secure sites for the Technology Parks. During the period under review, the Group successfully secured three land parcels in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Hunan Provinces to develop the Technology Parks. Recently, the Group also secured two sites in Jiangning district, Nanjing (for details please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 23 March 2016).

In addition, on 3 March 2016, China Minsheng Drawin Technology Investment Co., Ltd. (中民 築友科技投資有限公司) (“CMDTI”), a company established in the PRC and an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a joint venture agreement with China Minsheng Drawin Co., Ltd. (the “JV Partner”), a non-wholly owned subsidiary of China Minsheng Jiaye Investment Co., Ltd., pursuant to which a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) will be established for the continuing development of an industrial park in Changsha, Hunan Province, subject to obtaining all necessary approvals and/or filings required under applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, the Company having obtained the approval from the independent shareholders at a general meeting as required under the Listing Rules (for details please refer to the announcement dated 3 March 2016). Currently, the construction of the Changsha industrial park (phase I) has been completed and the relevant equipment and facilities have been tested for trial operations.

The Group also entered into project investment agreements with local governments in Nanning and Nan’an in August and December 2015, respectively (for details please refer to the Company’s announcements dated 31 August 2015 and 14 December 2015). Pursuant to the project investment agreements, the Group has agreed to acquire land parcels through tender, auction or listing-for-sale from the relevant PRC authorities for developing its Technology Parks.

BECOMING A COMPETITIVE PLAYER IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WITH A FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION AND ADVANCEMENT

The Group is aiming to become one of the most competitive players in the industrialized construction industry with a focus on technology innovation. To realize this goal, the Group will continue to carry out operation strategies which include accelerating the construction of the Technology Parks, strengthening our market development, enhancing the R&D and design capabilities to improve product quality and to increase production efficiency.

– 21 –

SPEEDING UP THE CONSTRUCTION OF TECHNOLOGY PARKS

It is the Group’s near-term goal to have up to five Technology Parks expected to start operation or have their construction completed by around the end of 2016, which include the Technology Parks in Guangdong, Zhejiang and Hunan Provinces as mentioned above. At the same time, the Group will continue to explore other opportunities for developing additional Technology Parks. The Group favours investments in provincial cities where the economies are vibrant, market potential is huge, the level of acceptability for prefabrication or support from the local government is high, and the infrastructure and logistics systems are good.

It is expected that once production facilities and equipment are installed at any one of the Technology Parks, the Group will be able to produce and sell prefabricated construction modules, broaden its revenue stream and enhance its market position.

STRENGTHENING MARKET DEVELOPMENT

In addition to the above, the Group aims to carry out other activities that relate to its property development and other investment businesses if there are lucrative opportunities. On a selective basis, the Group is exploring and will continue to identify business opportunities for involving in both public and private property development projects, including government sponsored housing projects, commodity housing and agricultural townhouses projects. In addition, the Group is interested in urban infrastructure projects that feature a high degree of standardization and prefabrication. It is also exploring possibilities of business cooperation with some of the leading property developers in China.

ENHANCING R&D AND DESIGN CAPABILITIES, PRODUCT QUALITY AND PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY

Industrialized construction is a high-technology based industry, thus, the Group will continue to enhance R&D and design capabilities in relation to industrialized construction, such as developing new technologies in building materials, architectural design and manufacturing.

The Group will directly benefit from the establishment of the Joint Venture in Changsha (if it is approved by its independent shareholders) as the JV Partner has developed advanced technologies and know-how relating to the production of prefabricated units and building materials. The Group believes these collaborations will strengthen the competence of our technology and R&D capabilities, and will ultimately improve product quality and increase the production efficiency of the Technology Parks.

Besides, the Group will also explore opportunities to create alliances with famous universities or leading industry enterprises on industrialized construction technology research or collaboration.

Looking ahead, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that the Group will strive to grow the business and achieve an improved financial and operating performance, delivering returns for the Company’s shareholders in the long-term.

The Company will keep reviewing the above arrangements and make appropriate changes to improve the corporate governance practices of the Company if considered necessary.

Under Code Provision A.6.7, independent non-executive directors and other non-executive directors should attend general meetings and develop a balanced understanding of the views of shareholders. Ms. Fong Rong and Mr. Zhou Feng, each being an non-executive Director and Mr. Lee Chi Ming, Mr. Chan Chi Hung, Anthony and Mr. Jiang Hongqing, all of them being independent non-executive Directors, could not attend the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 August 2015 because of their other business commitments; due to other business engagements, Mr. Chan Chi Hung, Anthony, could not attend the special general meeting of the Company held on 18 May 2015. Aiming for compliance with this Code Provision, the Company will continue to furnish all the Directors with appropriate information on all general meetings and take all reasonable measures to arrange the schedule in a cautious manner to enable all the Directors to attend the general meetings as far as possible.

Under Code Provision A.7.1, an agenda and accompanying board papers should be sent, in full, to the directors at least three days before the intended date of a board or board committee meeting.
