1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This unaudited interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), including compliance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB") and were authorised for issue on 31 August 2021.
The unaudited interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2020 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2021 annual consolidated financial statements. Details of these changes in accounting policies are set out in note 2.
The preparation of an unaudited interim financial report in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year-to-date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
This unaudited interim financial report contains unaudited consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2020 annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim financial report and notes thereon do not included all the information required for full set of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the IASB.
The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2020 that is included in this unaudited interim financial report as being previously reported information does not constitute the Company's statutory financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements. Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 are available from the Company's principal place of business in Hong Kong.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The IASB has issued the following new IFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group's consolidated financial statements.
| Amendments to IFRS 16 | COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions Beyond |
|---|---|
| 30 June 2021 | |
| Amendments to IAS 39, | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 |
| IFRSs 4, 7, 9 and 16 | |
The adoption of these amendments to IFRSs and IAS did not result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting policies and amounts reported for the current and prior periods.
The Group has not applied any new standards, amendments and interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
3. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are mainly organised by business lines. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Board for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented one major reportable segment during the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020.
Software business: Provision of integrated business software solutions in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and Hong Kong
In addition, other unreportable segment (money lending and security trading) are aggregated and presented as "Others".
Six months ended 30 June 2021
3. SEGMENT REPORTING (continued)
(a) Segment results, assets and liabilities
For the purpose of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Board monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:
Segment assets include all tangible, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of deferred tax assets and other corporate assets. Segment liabilities include trade payables and accruals attributable to the sales activities of the individual segments and interest-bearing borrowings managed directly by the segments.
Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.
The measure used for reporting segment loss is "adjusted loss before taxation". Adjusted loss before taxation is the Group's losses before items not specifically attributed to individual segments, such as directors' and auditor's remuneration and other head office or corporate administration costs.
In addition to receiving segment information concerning adjusted loss before taxation, the Board is provided with segment information concerning revenue, interest income and expense from cash balances and interest-bearing borrowings managed directly by the segments, depreciation, amortisation and additions to non-current segment assets used by the segments in their operations.
Segment revenue reported below represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no inter-segment sales during the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020.
3. SEGMENT REPORTING (continued)
(a) Segment results, assets and liabilities (continued)
Information regarding the Group's reportable segments as provided to the Board for the purpose of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance for the period is set out below.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands (the "BVI"), the Group is not subject to any income tax in the Cayman Islands and the BVI.
The provision for the PRC income tax is based on the respective corporate income tax rates applicable to the subsidiaries located in the PRC as determined in accordance with the relevant income tax rules and regulations of the PRC. The statutory income tax rate of its PRC subsidiaries is 25%.
Beijing Orient LegendMaker Software Development Co., Ltd. is entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020 as it was awarded high-technology status by the tax authority.
No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax and the PRC income tax have been made as the Group does not have assessable profits or incurred a loss for taxation purposes for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020.
These tax rates were used to calculate the Group's deferred tax assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2021 and 2020.
Six months ended 30 June 2021
8. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 June 2021 is based on the loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately RMB11,974,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB8,895,000) and the weighted average of 859,682,978 (six months ended 30 June 2020 (restated): 630,702,274) ordinary shares in issue during the interim period.
The comparative amount of the basic loss per share for 2020 has been adjusted to reflect the impact of the bonus element of the rights issue effected subsequent to 30 June 2020.
Potential dilutive ordinary shares are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, the diluted loss per share equals the basic loss per share.
9. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Under the Scheme, the Company may grant options to directors, employees, suppliers, customers, consultants, agents and advisers of the Company and the subsidiaries and any person who, in the sole discretion of the Board, has contributed or may contribute to the Group in recognition of their contribution to the Group. The options will expire either after 10 years from the date of grant or upon the termination or the issuance of termination notice of the relevant grantee's employment with the Group. The maximum number of shares to be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the total number of shares in issue from time to time.
The total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution. If any option is to be granted to connected person(s), it must be approved by independent nonexecutive directors or independent shareholders as the case may be.
The maximum number of shares in respect of which share options may be granted to a specifically identified single grantee under the Scheme (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of shares in issue.
17. SHARE OPTION (continued)

Under the Scheme, the options granted may be accepted by a participant within 28 days from the date of such offer. A consideration of HK\$1 is payable on acceptance of the offer of grant of an option. The exercise period of the share options granted is determinable by the directors of the Company and ends on a date which is not later than 10 years from the date of offer of the share options. The subscription price for shares payable on exercise of share options granted under the Scheme shall be a price determined by the directors of the Company, but shall in any event not be less than the highest of (i) the closing price of the shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotations sheet on the date of the offer of grant, which must be a trading day; (ii) the average closing price of the shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotations sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of share.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB20,739,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB30,424,000), of which revenue from (i) software maintenance and other services amounted to approximately RMB14,279,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB27,175,000); and (ii) sales of software products and other products amounted to approximately RMB6,281,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB3,114,000). The decrease in overall revenue for the software business was due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). COVID-19 has brought a negative impact on overall market sentiment and the Group's financial performance in the first half of the year 2021 was adversely affected. COVID-19 has posed significant challenges to the Group's business activities and has caused operational delays to some extent.
Gross Profit
For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group recorded a gross profit of approximately RMB7,107,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB6,544,000). The gross profit ratio for the software business of the Group during the period was approximately 34% while that of the corresponding period in 2020 was approximately 21%. The increase in gross profit ratio was mainly due to the increase in proportion for sale of self-developed products which have higher gross profit margin.
Finance Costs
For the six months ended 30 June 2021, finance costs was approximately RMB91,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB673,000). The decrease in finance costs was due to the decrease in interest expenses on interest-bearing borrowings.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the general and administrative expenses of the Group were approximately RMB9,937,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB6,399,000). The increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable to the increase in staff costs.
Change in Fair Value of Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
The Group invested in various financial instruments for short-term investments, including the equity securities listed in Hong Kong and United States. During the six months ended 30 June 2021, a fair value loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately RMB5,896,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB2,219,000) was recognised in profit or loss.
Loss for the Period
For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group recorded a loss for the period of approximately RMB14,499,000 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB11,876,000).
Liquidity and Financial Resources
The Group's working capital is funded by the cash generated from operating and financing activities. As at 30 June 2021, the Group maintained cash and cash equivalents amounting to approximately RMB51,898,000 (31 December 2020: RMB99,922,000). As at 30 June 2021, the Group's current ratio was approximately 7.58 times (31 December 2020: 5.86 times); and the Group's net gearing ratio at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 are not applicable since the Group had cash in excess of interest bearing borrowings.

Pledge of Assets

Capital Structure
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, including interest-bearing borrowings, and equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company, comprising issued share capital, share premium, accumulated losses and other reserves. The management of the Group reviews the capital structure by considering the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. In view of this, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and new share issues as well as the redemption of existing debt. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the period.
On 19 February 2021, the Company proposed to raise up to approximately HK\$47,407,000 before expenses, by way of the rights issue (the "Rights Issue"), by issuing up to 395,061,466 rights shares (the "Right Share(s)") (assuming all outstanding share options are exercised in full on or before 24 March 2021 (the "Record Date"), but otherwise no other shares of the Company (the "Shares") are issued and no repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date and full subscription under the Rights Issue) at the subscription price of HK\$0.12 per Rights Share on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held on the Record Date.
On 19 February 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with VC Brokerage Limited (the "Underwriter") in relation to the underwriting and respective arrangements in respect of the Rights Issue. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has conditionally agreed to underwrite, on a best effort basis, the underwritten shares up to 395,061,466 Rights Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement, in particular the fulfilment of the conditions precedent contained therein.
On 18 May 2021, the Board announced that all conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement had been fulfilled and the Underwriting Agreement and the Rights Issue became unconditional at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 May 2021.
As a result of the under-subscription of the Rights Issue and in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has procured subscribers to subscribe for 240,364,000 Rights Shares, representing approximately 63.41% of the total number of 379,086,466 Rights Shares available for subscription under the Rights Issue.
After the subscribers' subscription procured by the Underwriter, the Rights Issue was finally under-subscribed by 3,404,628 Rights Shares, representing approximately 0.90% of the total number of 379,086,466 Rights Shares available for subscription under the Rights Issue. Therefore, the size of the Rights Issue was reduced to 375,681,838 Rights Shares.
The gross proceeds from the Rights Issue are approximately HK\$45,080,000 and the net proceeds from the Rights Issue, after deducting professional fees and all other relevant expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK\$43,910,000. The Company will apply the net proceeds as to approximately (i) 30% of net proceeds for the potential acquisitions, expansion and equipment purchase of the Group's software business in the future; (ii) 40% of net proceeds for loan financing business and securities investments business; and (iii) the remaining 30% of net proceeds for the Group's operating expenses and overheads, among which approximately 60% is for staff cost, approximately 4% is for rental payments, approximately 20% is for professional fees and the remaining 16% is for the general administrative expenses.
The net proceeds from the Rights Issue were used as (i) approximately RMB3,344,000 (equivalent to HK\$4,000,000) for loan financing business; and (ii) approximately RMB2,099,000 (equivalent to HK\$2,511,000) for the Group's operating expenses and overheads, among which approximately RMB1,515,000 (equivalent to HK\$1,812,000) is for staff cost, approximately RMB96,000 (equivalent to HK\$115,000) is for rental payments, approximately RMB44,000 (equivalent to HK\$53,000) is for professional fee and the remaining RMB444,000 (equivalent to HK\$531,000) is for general administrative expenses.

COVID-19 has posed significant challenges to the Group's business activities and has caused operational delays to some extent.
OUTLOOK
We have an experienced technical team which can provide our clients with prompt and effective services and business solutions and we have established a solid client base over the years. Over the past ten years, the Group's software business has provided database software and engineering services to the PRC enterprise customers in terms of life cycle management, health check, troubleshooting and function upgrade which has a significant market share and a strong brand effect in this area.
As impacted by the spreading of COVID-19, the economic conditions of Mainland China and the world slowed down sharply. Mainland China and many other countries implemented lockdowns and social distancing measures for protecting the society in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a plenitude of challenges and uncertainties in the global economic environment. To lower the negative impact from the outbreak of COVID-19, the Group's management has closely monitored the market conditions in the PRC and has put in place certain contingency measures such as remote working of employees. However, the impact of COVID-19 on economic activities was far beyond expectation and resulted in a decrease of 32% in the consolidated revenue of the Group for the first half of 2021 as compared with the same period of 2020. Despite the decrease in revenue, the Group is looking to improve its profit margin in the software maintenance services. Therefore, it is repositioning its products in terms of lowering the cost of sales.
In order to maintain the Group's sustainability and value creation capability over the long term, the Group will try to maintain its competitiveness through introduction of new products and services, and will continue to look for suitable business opportunities so as to diversify the Group's business into a new line of business with growth potential and to broaden its source of income that can enhance return to the shareholders of the Company.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF LISTED SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS
The Company has adopted the Model Code as the code of conduct regarding securities transactions by the Directors. Having made specific enquiry to all Directors, the Company confirmed that all Directors have complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code throughout the six months ended 30 June 2021.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Company has adopted the code provisions set out in the Corporate Governance Code ("CG Code") in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules as its own code of corporate governance. During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Company was in compliance with all the relevant code provisions set out in the CG Code except for the deviation from code provisions A.2.1 and A.5.1, which are explained below.
Under CG Code provision A.2.1, the role of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. The Company has not appointed a chief executive officer. Mr. Guan Huanfei ("Mr. Guan"), a former executive Director who resigned on 22 May 2021, was the chairman of the Company. Following the resignation of Mr. Guan, the role and functions of chairman and chief executive officer have been performed by all executive Directors collectively.
CG Code provision A.5.1 stipulated that the Company should establish a nomination committee which is chaired by the chairman of the board or an independent nonexecutive director and comprises a majority of independent non-executive directors. Following the resignation of Mr. Liu Jian ("Mr. Liu"), a former independent non-executive Director who resigned on 25 March 2021, as the chairman of the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") and Mr. Guan as a member of the Nomination Committee, the composition of the Nomination Committee was also not in compliance with the code provision A.5.1 of the CG Code, until the Company appointed Mr. Chin Hon Siang ("Mr. Chin") as a member of the Nomination Committee on 26 May 2021.
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH RULES 3.10(1), 3.21 AND 3.25 OF THE LISTING RULES
Following the resignation of Mr. Liu as an independent non-executive Director on 25 March 2021, the Company only had two independent non-executive Directors, thus the number of the independent non-executive Directors fell below the minimum number required under Rule 3.10(1) of the Listing Rules. As a result of the insufficient number of independent non-executive Directors, the Company had also failed to comply with the requirements set out in Rule 3.21 of the Listing Rules with regard to the minimum number of members and the composition of the Audit Committee and Rule 3.25 of the Listing Rules with regard to the composition requirement of the remuneration committee of the Company (the "Remuneration Committee").
Following the appointment of Mr. Chin as an independent non-executive Director on 26 May 2021, the number of independent non-executive Directors had satisfied the minimum number required under Rule 3.10(1) of the Listing Rules. The Company also met the requirements set out in Rules 3.21 and 3.25 of the Listing Rules with regard to the composition of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee respectively.
Save as those mentioned above and in the opinion of the Directors, the Company has met all the relevant code provisions set out in the CG Code throughout the six months ended 30 June 2021.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee comprises three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Cai Jinliang (as committee chairman), Mr. Hui Yat On, and Mr. Chin. The primary duties of the Audit Committee are to review and supervise the financial reporting process, and to review the risk management and internal control systems of the Group. The unaudited interim financial results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee.
