Other Information
ADVANCE TO AN ENTITY (continued)
Subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the relevant client agreement, the Margin Facility shall be drawn by the Borrower after (i) CMBC Securities confirms its agreement to the grant of the Margin Facility and receives the commitment fee in full; and (ii) the Borrower has duly provided the security in relation to the Margin Facility. In line with the market practice, the Margin Facility does not have a fixed term and can be repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the relevant client agreement. The actual drawn amount of the Margin Facility carries interest at a rate up to 10% above the prime lending rate quoted by a leading licensed bank in Hong Kong. In addition, the Borrower shall also pay to CMBC Securities a commitment fee in the amount equal to 3% of the total amount of the Margin Facility.
The grant of the Margin Facility was made on the basis of CMBC Securities’ credit assessments made on, inter alia, that (1) the closing price of the collaterals as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange on 25 September 2017, being approximately HK$1.43 billion (or approximately 8.0 times of the total amount of the Margin Facility to be granted); (2) the applicable margin ratio for the Margin Facility, which is in line with the prevailing market practice; and (3) the credit worthiness of the Borrower is acceptable to the Company. After taking into account these factors, the Company considers that the risks involved in the advance to the Borrower are relatively low.
The Margin Facility is secured by the charge of all the 1,963,402,060 Shares held by the Borrower, representing approximately 4.3% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 27 September 2017. The margin ratio of the Margin Facility shall not exceed 20% as at the time of the grant of the Margin Facility; whilst CMBC Securities has the right to call margin if such margin ratio exceeds 20% during the term of the Margin Facility.

Other Information
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company has complied with all the applicable provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the “CG Code”) as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules throughout the Reporting Period except for the following deviations with reasons as explained:
Insurance cover for directors
Code Provision A.1.8
Code Provision A.1.8 of the CG Code provides that an issuer should arrange appropriate insurance cover in respect of legal action against its directors.
Deviation
In June 2017, the liability insurance for Directors expired due to the change of control of the Board and the Company had not arranged for replacing insurance during the remaining term of the Reporting Period. The reason for such deviation is that the Company needs time to identify an appropriate insurer and insurance plan that are suitable for its current business operation. As at the date of this report, the Company is in the course of negotiating the insurance policy with potential insurer and will arrange for appropriate insurance cover in respect of legal action against its Directors as soon as practicable.
Appointment of Directors
Code Provision A.4.1
Under the code provision A.4.1, non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term and subject to re-election.
Deviation
All the non-executive Directors were not appointed for a specific term. Notwithstanding such deviation, all Directors are subject to the retirement by rotation according to the provisions of the bye-laws of the Company. As such, the Company considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company’s corporate governance practices are no less exacting than those in the CG Code.
Attendance of the Annual General Meeting
Code Provision E.1.2
Code provision E.1.2 stipulates that the chairman of the Board should invite for the chairmen of the audit, remuneration and nomination committees (as appropriate) or in the absence of the chairmen of such committees, another member of the committee or failing this his duly appointed delegate, to be available to answer questions at the annual general meeting of the Company.
INTERIM REPORT 2017
16
Other Information
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (continued)
Attendance of the Annual General Meeting (continued)
Deviation
The chairmen and members of the nomination committee and the remuneration committee were unable to attend the AGM due to their other business engagement. However, the chairman of the Board had chaired the AGM and answered questions from the shareholders of the Company. The AGM has provided a channel for communication between the Board and the shareholders.
MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS OF LISTED ISSUERS (THE “MODEL CODE”)
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 Reporting Period.
CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
With effect from 31 May 2017, the English name of the Company has been changed from “SKYWAY SECURITIES GROUP LIMITED” to “CMBC CAPITAL HOLDINGS LIMITED” and the Chinese name “民銀資本控股有限公司” has been adopted as the secondary name of the Company to replace its former Chinese name “天順證券集團有 限公司”, which was formerly adopted for identification purpose only.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the Reporting Period have been reviewed by the audit committee of the Company and the Company’s independent auditor, Messrs. KPMG, 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 (the “HKICPA”). The independent auditor, on the basis of their review, concluded that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES
During the Reporting Period, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries had purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

REVIEW REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CMBC CAPITAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
(Incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability)
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the interim financial report set out on pages 20 to 54 of CMBC Capital Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2017 and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and 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 the interim financial report in accordance with HKAS 34.
Our responsibility is to form a conclusion, based on our review, on the interim financial report 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 the interim financial report 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.
INTERIM REPORT 2017

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial report as at 30 September 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Report
For the six months ended 30 September 2017
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance 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”), as well as compliance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).
The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in note 2.
The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with HKAS 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 interim financial report contains condensed 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 last annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with HKFRSs.
The interim financial report is unaudited, but has been reviewed by KPMG 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 HKICPA. KPMG’s independent review report to the Board of Directors is included on pages 18 to 19.
Operations of the real estate segment were discontinued during the current interim period and the operations of the supply and procurement segment were discontinued during the last interim period, details of which are disclosed in note 10. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the six months period ended 30 September 2016 has been restated to conform with current period presentation.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Report
For the six months ended 30 September 2017
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The HKICPA has issued several amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the group. None of these developments has had a material effect on how the Group’s results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial report.
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
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 securities segment representing the business line of provision of brokerage services, securities margin financing services, futures and options contracts dealing services to clients and securities underwriting;
-
the investment and financing segment representing investment and trading activities in equity securities, futures, bonds, funds and provision of loan financing services; and

The real estate segment was discontinued in the current period.

Accordingly, the segment information for the six months ended 30 September 2016 has been restated.

On 3 May 2016, the Company entered into the subscription agreement with Capital Union Inc., pursuant to which Capital Union Inc. has conditionally agreed to subscribe for and the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue 1,450,000,000 new shares at the subscription price of HK$0.18 per subscription share. There was no net proceeds from the subscription as the subscription was settled by way of set off against the outstanding promissory notes. The transaction was completed on 13 May 2016. The early settlement of the promissory notes has resulted in a loss of HK$41,428,000, being the difference between the carrying amount of the promissory notes amounting to HK$258,722,000 and the fair value of the shares amounting to HK$300,150,000 based on the market price of the Company’s share on 13 May 2016, recognised in the profit or loss for the six months ended 30 September 2016.
In addition, upon the acquisition of subsidiaries as disclosed in note 23, the Company has issued promissory notes in the principal amount of HK$29,000,000 as a part of the consideration. The promissory notes bear interest rate of 2% per annum and will be redeemed on the second anniversary from the issue date. The Company may at its option early repay the promissory notes with outstanding interest accrued thereon in whole or in part in integral multiples of principal amount of HK$1 million by giving a prior ten business days’ written notice to the noteholder. The early repayment option is not closely related to the host contract and the fair value is determined as negligible by an independent professional valuer. The fair value of promissory notes was HK$25,885,000 at 15 July 2016 and the effective interest rate was 7.56% per annum based on the valuation carried out by an independent professional valuer.
