NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION
Redsun Services Group Limited (the “ Company ”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The registered office address of the Company is Walkers Corporate Limited, 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-9008, Cayman Islands. The shares of the Company have been listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”) since 7 July 2020.
During the period, 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. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2021 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of the following revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) for the first time for the current period’s financial information.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2 IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Amendment to IFRS 16
Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (early adopted)
– 7 –
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (continued)
The nature and impact of the revised IFRSs are described below:
-
a) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 address issues not dealt with in the previous amendments which affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative risk-free rate (“ RFR ”). The phase 2 amendments provide a practical expedient to allow the effective interest rate to be updated without adjusting the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, if the change is a direct consequence of the interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis immediately preceding the change. In addition, the amendments permit changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Any gains or losses that could arise on transition are dealt with through the normal requirements of IFRS 9 to measure and recognise hedge ineffectiveness. The amendments also provide a temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR is designated as a risk component. The relief allows an entity, upon designation of the hedge, to assume that the separately identifiable requirement is met, provided the entity reasonably expects the RFR risk component to become separately identifiable within the next 24 months. Furthermore, the amendments require an entity to disclose additional information to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity’s financial instruments and risk management strategy. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
-
b) Amendment to IFRS 16 issued in March 2021 extends the availability of the practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic by 12 months. Accordingly, the practical expedient applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 with any cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits at the beginning of the current accounting period. Earlier application is permitted.
The Group has early adopted the amendment on 1 January 2021. The amendment did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
REVIEW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2021
As a year connecting the past and the future, the year 2021 is attached with a unique sense of significance. The year 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Communist Party of China and the start of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan of China. It is also the commencement of the new stage of full-swing construction of a modern socialist China. The year 2021 marks the first anniversary of Redsun Services becoming listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In addition, it is also the 40th anniversary of the development of property management sector in China, which is a meaningful year to the industry of property management.
Ten ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Development and Reform Commission and the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, jointly issued the “Notice on Strengthening and Improving Residential Property Management” (《關於加強和改進住宅物業管理工作的通知》) in January 2021 and officially released “The Opinion of the State Council of the Central Government Concerning the Full-Scale Promotion of the Revitalization of Rural Areas and the Expedition of the Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Villages” (《中共中央 國務院關於全面推進鄉村振興加快農業農村現代化的意見》) in February 2021. During the NPC & CPPCC National Committee annual sessions in 2021, the proposals of participants repeatedly brought up topics including community-based elderly care, new model of community governance, prices of property management services and emergency response capabilities of communities. In March 2021, “Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035” (《中華人民共和國國民經濟和 社會發展第十四個五年規劃和2035年遠景目標綱要》) was issued. In May 2021, 12 departments including the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly published the “Opinions on Promoting the Construction of a 15-Minute Convenient Urban Living Zone” (《關於推進城市一刻鐘便 民生活圈建設的意見》). The release of a series of favourable policies created a new prospective market for the property management industry, which was to integrate property services into basic-level social governance system and effectively enhance people’s sense of well-being and security.

In the post-pandemic era, people’s idea towards consumption is changing and consumption upgrade becomes a trend. With the accurate judgement of market development direction, by adapting to market changes and leveraging its strategic advantages of the “residential + commercial” dual-driven model and the strategic layout 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), the Group grew steadily with quality rapid development in terms of both scale and performance. In April 2021, it was awarded by China Index Academy (CIA) the title of “Top 100 Property Management Companies in 2021” (2021中國物業服務百強 企業), and its ranking of overall strength in the industry also moved up 6 places as compared with 2020 to No.19.
Our wide-reaching services drove our growth. In the process of the Group’s exploration of property services, the “customer-centered” philosophy was always the keyword throughout the Group’s development cycle. Adhering to this service philosophy, the Group built high-quality service throughout the entire product lifecycle, upgraded the residential service product brand and meticulously created the non-residential service product brand.

The Group launched the “Management to Listen” Program (聆聽行動) which helped more than 1,000 property owners to solve their needs. It also carried out a number of community activities which continuously enhanced customer loyalty.
Achieving increase in quantity the basis of maintaining quality. The Group remained steadfast in maintaining development driven by both organic growth and external expansion. Not only did it rely on its own service quality and brand recognition to expand market and promote development in cities, it also entered into equity cooperation with strategic partners who could provide complementary advantage in regional markets to develop rapidly across different regions. In the first half of 2021, the Group completed the acquisition of Wuhan Huidehang Elite Property Services Co., Ltd.(武漢匯得行精英物 業服務有限公司), Gaoli Property Services Co., Ltd. (高力服務物業有限公司) (“ Gaoli Property ”) and Jiangsu Gaoli Meijia Property Co., Ltd. (江蘇高力美家物業有限公司) (“ Jiangsu Gaoli Meijia ”), and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the office of Xigang sub-district, Qixia District, Nanjing (南京市棲霞區西崗街道), with a view to deepening the development in urban services and facilitating cooperation in aspects including community comprehensive services, municipal management services and specialized facility services in corresponding administrative regions. The Group also entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Anhui Shui’an Construction Group Company Limited* (安徽水安建設集團股份有限公司) to establish comprehensive in-depth cooperation on services at property sales venues, early-stage involvement services and other services, thereby laying a solid foundation for quality improvement in scale.
