Management Discussion and Analysis

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND BUSINESS REVIEW

Revenue

The Group’s revenue increased by approximately 124.4% to approximately HK$46.0 million compared to approximately HK$20.5 million for the same period in 2015. It was mainly due to the contribution from brokerage and related services during the period. The analysis of the Group’s revenue by reportable segments is as below.

Brokerage and Related Services

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of Skyway Securities Investment Limited and Skyway Futures Limited in November 2015, the Group has further expanded its business line of provision of brokerage services, proprietary trading, securities margin financing services and futures and options contracts dealing services to clients. During the period under review, the segment revenue and segment profit contributed by brokerage and related services were approximately HK$44.9 million and HK$260.4 million respectively.

Investments

Securities Investment

During the period under review, the segment revenue, which included dividend income from investment in listed equity securities, and interest income from investment in convertible bonds and interest bearing notes decreased by 100% from HK$3.2 million to zero as compared with the same period in last year.

During the period under review, the segment loss significantly reduced by approximately 78.5% to approximately HK$97.9 million in the current period compared to the loss of approximately HK$456.2 million in the previous period. The loss was mainly attributable to:

  • (1) an unrealized loss on investments at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$97.7 million, which reduced by approximately HK$150.2 million compared to the loss of approximately HK$247.9 million for the same period in last year; and

  • (2) no realized loss on investments at fair value through profit or loss is noted in the current period, compared to the loss of approximately HK$211.6 million for the same period in last year.

At the period end, the Group’s securities portfolio mainly constituted of listed equity securities in semiconductors company and sourcing and supply chain service company.

Management Discussion and Analysis

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND BUSINESS REVIEW (continued)

Investments (continued)

Available-for-sale Investments

As at 30 September 2016, the Group’s available-for-sale (“AFS”) investments comprised of unlisted equity interests in two private entities (31 March 2016: two private entities). Both entities were principally engaged in investment holding and provision of financial services in Hong Kong.

During the period under review, one of the investees has incurred losses due to the distribution in specie of investments in certain convertible notes to the Group. Accordingly, impairment of approximately HK$12.5 million is recognized to profit or loss in respect of that AFS investee. The AFS investments are measured at cost less impairment at the end of the period with reference to the financial information available to the Group. As the Group is a passive investor in both investees where there were no director nominated by the Group nor the Group takes part in any daily management in these investees, the Group has no information for future prospects of the AFS investments.

Real Estate

The segment recorded rental income of approximately HK$1.1 million (30 September 2015: approximately HK$0.3 million) and segment profit of approximately HK$0.9 million (30 September 2015: approximately HK$5.3 million) during the period under review.

Supply and Procurement

The Group’s supply and procurement segment represents sourcing, transporting and supplying of metal minerals and recyclable metal materials. Due to the continuous weak demand for building materials from our customers in PRC, the management of the Group has ceased such business in the current period accordingly.

Results

For the period ended 30 September 2016, the Group recorded a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$11.1 million (30 September 2015: loss of approximately HK$443.3 million), basic earnings per share of HK$0.08 cents (30 September 2015: basic loss per share of HK$5.26 cents) and diluted earnings per share of HK$0.07 cent (30 September 2015: diluted loss per share of HK$5.26 cents).

There has been a deviation from the code provision since the appointment of three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Siu Siu Ling Robert on 24 July 2015, and Mr. Chan Kwan Pak and Mr. Siu Gee Tai on 30 July 2015. They are not appointed for a specific term but shall retire from office by rotation at least once every three years as referred to in bye-law 87 of the Company’s Bye-laws which provides that at each annual general meeting one-third of the directors of the Company for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation. As such, the Board considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company’s corporate governance is no less exacting than those set out in the CG Code.

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS OF LISTED ISSUERS

The Company has adopted the Model Code as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as its own code of conduct regarding securities transactions by the Directors. Having made specific enquiry with the Directors, all of them confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in the Model Code during the six months ended 30 September 2016.

UPDATE ON DIRECTORS’ INFORMATION

The following is updated information of the Directors request to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 13.51 B(1) of the Listing Rules:

The directors’ emoluments of Mr. Ng Kwok Leung and Mr. Tam Tak Wah have been revised to HK$1,072,500 and HK$1,625,000 by 1 September 2016 per annum respectively, which were determined with reference to the duties and responsibilities of an executive director.

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

==> picture [596 x 21] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [64 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SKYWAY SECURITIES GROUP LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of Skyway Securities Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 19 to 48, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2016 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“HKAS 34”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

Without qualifying our review conclusion, we draw attention to the fact that the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 September 2015 and the relevant explanatory notes included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 September 2016

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) as well as with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

During the current interim period, since operations of supply and procurement was discontinued, details of which are disclosed in note 10, management considered the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is more appropriate to present expenses analysed by nature instead of by function. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six months period ended 30 September 2015 have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

In addition, during the current interim period, the Group recognised loss on early settlement of promissory notes, details of which are set out in note 20.

Furthermore, the Group acquired an investment property through acquisition of subsidiaries, details of which is set out in note 23.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment property and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2016 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016. In addition, the Group applied the following accounting policies for investment property newly acquired in current period.

Investment property is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including properties under construction for such purposes). Investment property includes land held for undetermined future use, which is regarded as held for capital appreciation purpose. Investment property is initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

INTERIM REPORT 2016

24

==> picture [596 x 21] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 September 2016

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, certain amendments to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA that are mandatorily effective for the current interim period.

The application of the new amendments to HKFRSs in the current interim period has had no material effect on the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and/or disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resources allocation and performance assessment, the Group is currently organised into the following operating segments:

  • the provision of brokerage and related services segment represents the business line of provision of brokerage services, proprietary trading, securities margin financing services and futures and options contracts dealing services to clients commencing in November 2015;

  • the securities investments segment represents investment and trading activities in listed equity securities, warrants, convertible bonds and interest bearing notes;

  • the provision of finance segment represents provision of short-term loan financing activities; and

  • the real estate segment represents the trading of properties, property investment and letting of properties.

The supply and procurement was discontinued in the current period. The segment information reported does not include any amounts for the discontinued operation, which are described with more details in note 10. Accordingly, the segment information for the six months ended 30 September 2015 has been restated.

10. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

During the current interim period, the Group entered into sale agreements to dispose of its 100% equity interest in Poly Resources (Asia) Limited and Poly Forestry International Limited (collectively the “Disposing Subsidiaries”) that carried out all of the Group’s supply and procurement operation at a consideration of HK$863,000. The disposal was completed on 29 September 2016, on which date the Group lost control of the Disposing Subsidiaries. There was no gain or loss resulted from the disposal since the net assets of the Disposing Subsidiaries are mainly bank balance and cash, of which amount is same as the consideration.

The loss for the period from the discontinued operation is set out below. The comparative figures in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been restated to re-present the supply and procurement operation as a discontinued operation.

The denominators used are the same as those detailed above for the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

From discontinued operation

Basic and diluted loss per share from the discontinued operation is HK0.002 (2015: HK0.01) cents per share, based on the loss for the period from discontinued operation of HK$339,000 (2015: HK$1,170,000) and the denominators detailed above for the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended 30 September 2016 does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding share options as the exercise price of the share options was higher than the average market price for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 30 September 2015 does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding share options and warrants since their exercise would result in a decrease in loss per share.

25. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets measured at fair value on recurring basis

The following table provides an analysis of the Group’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable for the six months ended 30 September 2016:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Note: The amount represented fair value change of contingent consideration of which the details is set out in the Company’s consolidation financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 published on 24 June 2016. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated based on the valuation carried out by an independent professional valuer, Roma Appraisals Limited. The change in fair value during the current interim period is mainly due to the profits generated by the subsidiaries acquired for the current period are higher than the profit estimation at 31 March 2016.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

The Group has engaged an independent qualified professional valuer to perform valuations for the contingent consideration. The valuer reports directly to the chief operating decision maker. A valuation report with analysis of changes in fair value measurement is prepared at each interim and annual reporting date, and is reviewed and approved by the chief operating decision maker. Discussion of the valuation process and results with the chief operating decision maker is held twice a year, to coincide with the reporting dates.

The fair values of the financial assets included in level 3 categories above have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflected the credit risk of counterparties.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market closing prices.
