THIRD QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
This announcement, for which the directors (the “ Directors ”) of Polyfair Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

3. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Revenue represents income received or receivable from provision of construction services.
The Group’s operating activities are attributable to a single operating segment focusing on provision of construction services. This operating segment has been identified on the basis of internal management reports prepared in accordance with accounting policies conform with HKFRSs, that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“ CODM ”) (i.e. being executive directors of the Company). The CODM regularly reviews revenue analysis by relevant types of properties for which construction contract work is provided, and considers them as one single operating segment since all revenue of the Group is generated from one single line of business. Other than revenue analysis, no operating results and no other discrete financial information is available for the assessment of performance.
The CODM reviews the profit for the period of the Group as a whole to make decisions about resource allocation. No analysis of segment assets or segment liabilities is presented as they are not regularly provided to the CODM. The operation of the Group constitutes one single operating segment under HKFRS 8 “Operating Segments” and accordingly, no separate segment information other than entity level information is prepared.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
We are a subcontractor that provides façade and curtain wall works solutions in Hong Kong. Our solutions are customised to meet the technical specifications and performance requirements of our customers. We generally provide both design and build services in our projects, ranging from developing designs, conducting structural calculations, preparing shop drawings, sourcing and procuring building materials, arranging for building material logistics and installation works, project management to post-project completion services. We engage subcontractors to perform the installation work from time to time.
As at 31 December 2020, the Group had ten projects in progress with a total original contract sum of approximately HK$695.1 million. Original contract sum of approximately HK$222.1 million was recognised as revenue during the Reporting Period.
During the Reporting Period, we were awarded four new projects, namely Fo Tan, Yuen Long, Kwun Tong Road and Caine Road, with a total contract sum of approximately HK$318.9 million.
OUTLOOK
The demand for façade and curtain wall works is driven by construction of residential and commercial buildings. The development of residential buildings in Hong Kong has been a major driver of façade and curtain wall works and the number is expected to increase from 13,643 new units in 2019 to 20,854 new units in 2020.
Another driver for the façade and curtain wall works industry is office buildings in Hong Kong where the Hong Kong Government puts effort in developing areas like Kowloon East as new business areas. According to The Hong Kong Property Review 2020 compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department, office completions in 2019 were 266,900 m[2] , representing a rise of 49% from 2018. 90% of the completions were in the non-core districts. Completions of Grade A space amounted to 241,900 m[2] , equivalent to 91% of the total supply. These buildings included both installation of curtain wall systems as the envelop system above the podium and the works for the building entrance, lobby and the associate stores.
Notwithstanding the negative impact from the economic slowdown driven by the global macro-economic conditions, the Group remains optimistic about its core business as the management believes that there is a market for quality façade and curtain wall works in Hong Kong. The Group will further strengthen its sales effort, closely monitor the status of the projects and carefully control the cost of services as to expand its customer base and achieve sustainable business growth and long-term benefits to its shareholders. We are hoping to be more competitive and able to compete for more sizeable and profitable projects.

The Group considers that the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 would affect our business and the Group is actively updating its project status with its customers. The Board will continue to assess the potential impact of the outbreak on the Group’s operation and will closely monitor the Group’s exposure to relevant risks and uncertainties.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
The total revenue of the Group increased by approximately HK$55.8 million or 29.6% from approximately HK$188.2 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$244.0 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020. Such increase was mainly attributable to the contribution from revenue of a sizable project, namely Kai Tak KT1K.
Cost of Services
The Group’s cost of services primarily consisted of building material costs, subcontracting charges, staff costs and other direct costs. The cost of services increased to approximately HK$231.0 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020 from approximately HK$174.4 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019, representing an increase of approximately 32.5%. The increase was in line with the increase in revenue.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
The Group’s gross profit decreased by approximately HK$0.8 million from approximately HK$13.8 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$13.0 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020. The Group’s gross profit margin decreased from approximately 7.4% for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately 5.3% for the nine months ended 31 December 2020, representing a decrease of approximately 2.1 percentage points. The decrease was due to the facts that (i) the gross profit margin of new projects were lower than the projects for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 as a result of the intense competition in the market and other market players may submit tenders with lower price; and (ii) additional sub-contracting costs incurred when carrying out certain projects.
Other Income, Gain and Loss
Other income, gain and loss increased by approximately HK$2.7 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020 mainly due to the receipt of subsidies under the Employment Support Scheme launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government.
– 10 –
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses of the Group decreased by approximately HK$1.6 million from approximately HK$10.1 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$8.5 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020. Administrative expenses consisted primarily of staff costs and Directors’ emoluments, depreciation, legal and professional fee, rental expenses and other administrative expenses. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in legal and professional fee and the decrease in audit fee during the period.
Finance Costs
Finance costs decreased from approximately HK$4.3 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$3.4 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020. The decrease in finance costs was mainly attributable to the decrease in the average interest rate of the bank borrowings.
Taxation
The income tax expenses for the nine months ended 31 December 2020 was approximately HK$0.3 million as compared to the income tax credit of approximately HK$2.2 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019. Such change was mainly attributable to the one-off tax refund of approximately HK$2.3 million arisen from prior years during the nine months ended 31 December 2019.
Profit for the Period
Profit for the period increased from approximately HK$1.7 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$3.6 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020. Such increase was primarily attributable to the net result of: (i) the increase in the other income, gain and loss mainly due to the receipt of subsidies under the Employment Support Scheme launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government; (ii) the decrease in the administrative expenses mainly due to the decrease in legal and professional fee and audit fee and (iii) the recognition of income tax expenses under the absence of the one-off tax refund arisen from prior years for the nine months ended 31 December 2020.
