NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION
Redsun Services Group Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated and registered as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands under the Cayman Islands Companies Law on 12 December 2019. Pursuant to the Reorganisation, the Company became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group on 17 February 2020. The shares of the Company have been listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited since 7 July 2020. The registered office of the Company is located at Walkers Corporate Limited, 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-9008, Cayman Islands.
During the year, the Group was mainly involved in the provision of property management services, value-added services to non-property owners, and community value-added services.
In the opinion of the directors, the holding company of the Company is Redsun Services Group (Holdings) Limited, which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) (which include all International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2020. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
-
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
– 7 –
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same Reporting Period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the following revised IFRSs for the first time for the current year’s financial statements.
| Amendments to IFRS 3 | Definition of a Business |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9, | |
| IAS 39 and IFRS 7 | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform |
| Amendment to IFRS 16 | Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (early adopted) |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 | Definition of Material |
The adoption of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the above revised standards has had no significant financial effect on these consolidated financial statements.

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management monitors the operating results of the Group’s business which includes property management services income and value-added services income by project locations for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. As all the locations have similar economic characteristics and are similar in the nature of property management services, the nature of the aforementioned business processes, the type or class of the customer for the aforementioned business and the methods used to distribute the property management services and value-added services, all locations were aggregated as one reportable operating segment.
Geographical information
No geographical information is presented as the Group’s revenue from the external customers is derived solely from its operation in Mainland China and no non-current assets of the Group are located outside Mainland China.
Information about major customers
In 2020, revenue from continuing operations of approximately RMB265,194,000 (2019: RMB232,253,000) was derived from providing property management services and value-added services to a single customer, including providing property management services and value-added services to a group of entities which are known to be under common control with that customer.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT
For the purpose of computing basic and diluted earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares has been adjusted retrospectively for the effect of the reorganisation and the capitalisation issue as if the reorganisation and capitalisation issue had been completed on 1 January 2019.
The calculation of the basic earnings per share amount is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 354,918,033 (2019: 300,000,000) shares in issue during the year, as adjusted to reflect the rights issue during the year.
No adjustment has been made to the basic earnings per share amount presented for the year of 2020 and 2019 in respect of a dilution as the Group had no potential dilutive ordinary shares in issue during the years.
The calculations of basic earnings per share are based on:
| Earnings Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, used in the basic earnings per share calculation: From continuing operations Shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year used in the basic earnings per share calculation |
Year ended 31 December 2020 2019 RMB’000 RMB’000 69,751 59,061 Number of shares 2020 2019 354,918,033 300,000,000 |

Trade receivables mainly arise from property management service income. The Group’s trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit, except for new customers, where payment in advance in normally required. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management and credit limits attributed to customers are reviewed once a month. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group’s trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.
An ageing analysis of the trade receivables as at the end of the Reporting Period, based on the date of revenue recognition, net of provision for the loss allowance for impairment, is as follows:
| As at 31 | December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |

Impairment under IFRS 9 for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019
An impairment analysis was performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates were based on the ageing of trade receivables for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflected the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that was available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables were written off if their ageings were more than three years and were not subject to enforcement activity.
Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the Group’s trade receivables using a provision matrix:

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Dear shareholders,
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present to you the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.
2020 was a milestone year with opportunities and challenges for both the property management industry and the Group. In the face of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group actively assumed its social responsibility. In the days of overcoming the difficulties together, we not only experienced the heroic moments of standing firmly against the pandemic, but was also moved by helping and supporting each other. During the pandemic, more than 1,000 employees of the Group stuck to their posts and built an iron wall to protect the safety of the community in the battle of joint prevention and control of the pandemic.
Toughness is the only way to show one’s courage and perseverance, and sharpening is the only way to achieve success. Overcoming the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group was listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 7 July 2020 and entered the capital market. The Group’s accurate judgement of market development direction, rapid adaptation to market changes, and adherence to steady development enabled the Group to grow steadily in terms of scale and performance leveraging on its strategic advantages of the “residential + commercial” two-wheel drive model and the layout of strategy of “penetrating the Greater Jiangsu Region, strengthening foothold in the Yangtze River Delta Region and expanding into major metropolitan areas” (做透大江蘇、深耕長三角、佈局都市圈).
Our three-dimensional development sectors, harnessing the trend of steady progress. During the Reporting Period, our three major business lines namely property management services, value-added services to non-property owners and community value-added services, all kept pace with each other. The Group achieved revenue of RMB767.9 million, representing an increase of 52.7% as compared with that of the corresponding period in 2019, of which the revenue from community value-added services increased significantly by 310.9%. Excluding the impact of listing expenses, the Group’s profit for the period amounted to RMB93.3 million, representing an increase of 63.5% as compared with RMB57.1 million for the corresponding period in 2019; The profitability of the Group was further enhanced in 2020, with an overall gross profit margin reaching 27.9%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points compared with 2019, and a net profit margin increasing by 0.9 percentage points compared with 2019, reaching 12.2%.

Laying out urban services, and actively exploring new development tracks. As of 31 December 2020, the Group had provided property management services and value-added services to 57 cities in China, with 159 projects under management and contracted gross floor area (“ GFA ”) of approximately 39.9 million sq.m., which has increased by approximately 44.6% as compared with 31 December 2019 and including GFA under management of approximately 27.0 million sq.m., representing an increase of approximately 71.4% as compared with 31 December 2019. We actively explored for cooperation chances to capture market opportunities, increase the scale of property management through strategic acquisitions, and focus on regions with high economic output value. We entered into equity cooperation with Chuzhou Yurun Property Management Company Limited (滁州宇潤物業管理有限公司) and Wuhan Huidehang Elite Property Service Co., Ltd. (武漢匯得行精英物業服務有限公司) respectively, forming a strong alliance to complement each other in terms of regions and sectors, which increased the Group’s market share in Anhui and Hubei, and improved the overall profit margin level.
In 2020, we successively provided property management services for Taishan Street Kindergarten, International School Pukou and Xiaozhuang Campus in Jiangbei New District of Nanjing, which not only filled in the gaps in our niche sectors such as education, but also marked a new stage in the diversified development of the Group’s properties under management.
At a time when the industry and governments at all levels are exploring urban services, the Group took the lead in reaching a cooperation agreement with Taishan Street in Pukou District of Nanjing, to serve a number of old residential communities within its administrative area of 52.6 square kilometers, which has been well received by the government, industry, customers and media. We have been deeply cultivating into professional vertical market segments, leveraging on the incubation and expansion of projects around various fields such as public services and municipal management services, which has now formed a good leading demonstration effect through this steady and orderly pilot.
Treating customers with sincerity, providing them with excellent services, and adhering to high-quality services. While growing in scale, the Group insisted on improving its own service quality, and set up a Redsun Services residential service product system ahead of its property owners’ expectations, so as to interlock the quality service throughout the life cycle and protect a better life for the property owners of Redsun Services. “Rejuvenation with Heart and Love for Family Plan (以心煥新,愛家計劃)” for 2020 awoke a happy life with quality; “Redsun Friendship Neighbourhood (弘友鄰)” fulfilled the infinite vision of time, and other several community activities throughout the year including Goddess Festival (女神節), Starlight Film Festival (星光電影節), Festival for Redsun’

Through an intelligent service collection platform and a perfect management system, we integrated online and offline services to configure convenient and assured community life supporting services and an all-around empowered Hong Butler team. Through the Red Life APP, customer service hotline and customer service centers, we provided customers with both convenient and fast online service mode and offline service space for face-to-face communication and interaction to meet the needs of different customer groups.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
REVIEW FOR 2020
2020 was the year of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and the end of the “13th five-year Plan”. Standing at the historical intersection of the “Two Centenary” Goals, China is facing a more complex internal and external environment, superimposing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become a top priority for China to continue to solve people’s livelihood problems, safeguard people’s health and maintain stable social development. Under the complex situation, the property management industry is also facing new challenges and opportunities.
During the fighting against the pandemic, property management companies had carried out their responsibilities to stay at the forefront of this battle against the pandemic, and made their own contributions to the success of the society in fighting the pandemic. As a major force of community pandemic prevention, the importance of property management companies was highlighted as they needed to ensure not only the health of community residents, but also the supplies for communities and the daily life. In the course of fighting against the pandemic, the communication and trust between property management companies and property owners had also been greatly improved, which resulted in “the second value exploration” for property management industry and laid a solid foundation for the medium and long term healthy development of property management industry in the future.
In May 2020, with the announcement of “implementing the strategy of expanding domestic demand” and “supporting the recovery and development of food and beverage, brick and mortar shopping, culture, tourism, domestic services, and other consumer services” in the Report on the Work of the Government, and the announcement of “expediting the formation of a new development pattern where domestic and foreign markets can boost each other, with domestic market as the mainstay” in the meeting of the Political Bureau, domestic demand had become the main driving force for the medium and long term development of China’s economy in the future, and property management companies, as the gateway closest to community residents, would potentially enjoy faster growth against the background of rapid development of domestic consumption demand.
During the pandemic, the Company responded to the government’s call to actively assume social responsibility, stand firmly against the pandemic, jointly prevent and control with the community, and protect the safety of the community and our property owners. The Company also strengthened its property management standards and pandemic prevention and control standards, extended service boundaries oriented by the needs of our property owners, and supported people’s livelihood with action and commitment so as to make their hearts warmer.
