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”.

(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.

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.
7. 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.

The decrease in overall revenue for the software business was due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”).

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%.

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.

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.

BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB20,739,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB30,424,000), representing a decrease of approximately 32%. The decrease in overall revenue for the software business was due to the outbreak of 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.
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.

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.
