Management Discussion and Analysis

OPERATING RESULTS AND BUSINESS REVIEW

In the first half of 2016, the global economy remained complicated and grim, economic recovery in the United States is slower than expected and the referendum of exit from the Europe by the United Kingdom made Europe the new risk point for the global economy. The PRC government maintained a prudent approach in its monetary and fiscal policies, and deepened structural reforms on the supply side. While the domestic economy reached the bottom and signs of stability could be seen, it was still exposed to substantial downward pressure. Under these complex domestic and international economic conditions, Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited (the “Company”) together with its subsidiaries (the “Group”) steadily implemented its established strategy and achieved satisfactory operating results leveraging on its extensive experience and high quality products.

For the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the “Period Under Review”), the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB2.14 billion, representing an increase of approximately 7.1% from the corresponding period of 2015. Further, the profit attributable to owners of the Company was approximately RMB211.57 million, representing an increase of approximately 101.5% from the corresponding period of 2015.

Comprehensive Development Business

In the first half of 2016, benefited from the property destocking policy since 2015 and stimulated by various attempts at cutting interest rates and the required reserve ratio, the real estate market in the PRC continued its upward trend since the end of last year. Nevertheless, the segregation of cities intensified, differentiation was seen among cities as different regulatory policies were introduced to suit their local markets. Demands in the first-tier cities and several key second-tier cities continued to soar and the property market recorded a growth in both sales volume and price, while most third-tier and fourth-tier cities faced severe inventory pressure and their emphasis remains in accelerating the destocking process. The Group has always upheld the strategy of deep plowing in the first-tier and second-tier cities to achieve steady development in comprehensive development business.

Management Discussion and Analysis

During the Period Under Review, due to the downturn in macro-economy, pressure had been accumulating within the domestic manufacturing industry and the ancillary packaging enterprises, including shrinking export orders, weak growth in domestic orders, fierce market competition and continuous increase in operating costs. Facing such unfavorable business conditions, the Group, on one hand, ramped up its efforts in exploring sales in domestic market, and adjusted order structure to achieve stable sales volume; and on the other hand, the Group lowered the cost and improved the efficiency of its practice, and vigorously promoted the reform of equipment and logistics automation to enhance the comprehensive operational efficiency of the Company. During the first half of the year, the new factory of Suzhou Huali has been put into operation, which will further enhance the productivity of the paper packaging business of the Group and is estimated to further consolidate its market share in Yangtze River Delta region.

During the Period Under Review, the paper packaging business of the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB367.00 million, representing a decrease of approximately 10.8% as compared with the same period of 2015, and the loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB1.55 million, as compared with a profit of approximately RMB10.44 million for the same period of 2015.

Management Discussion and Analysis

OUTLOOK

Looking forward to the second half of 2016, global economy is fraught with uncertainties and risk-off sentiment in global economy may deteriorate. Due to the combined effect continuously brought by the further deepening of reforms and innovations and the impact of macrocontrol, the domestic economy is running smoothly in general. However, given the poor external conditions and sluggish demand growth, downward pressure will still exist in the domestic economy for the second half of the year. It is the real estate policy of the PRC to persist in its risk control and destocking measure. The market-oriented adjustments in the industry are expected to accelerate while the market segregation will intensify. The property market in the first-tier and second-tier cities is expected to record a steady growth, and high-quality real estate companies will maintain long-term development potentials. All projects of the Group are situated in the first-tier and second-tier core cities, which is beneficial to the business development of the Group. In addition, the Group will quicken the pace of innovative development, explore and attempt to realize the organic combination of financial innovation and industrial strength and lay stress on the enhancement of the corporate value in the future.

Comprehensive Development Business

For the second half of 2016, in response to the property destocking target of the PRC, the Group will accelerate the speed of turnover of its assets, in order to speed up the recovery of funds. As the property market continues its steady momentum, by leveraging on the long-accumulated customer base and high quality products and services of the Group, we believed that we can achieve satisfactory sales results in the projects.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). It was authorised for issue on 11 August 2016.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 comprise Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s investments in associates and joint venture. 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 2015 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA. HKFRSs includes all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2015 annual financial statements.

The interim financial report is unaudited and not reviewed by the auditor, but has been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Company.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2016. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies, presentation of the Group’s financial statements and the amounts reported for the current period and prior years.

The Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial positions. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards prior to their mandatory effective date.

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Group did not have any assessable profits subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax during the period (six months ended 30 June 2015: Nil).

Pursuant to the income tax rules and regulations of the PRC, taxation for PRC subsidiaries is charged at the appropriate current rates of taxation ruling in the relevant cities in the PRC at 25% (six months ended 30 June 2015: 25%).

Additionally, a 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends declared to foreign investors from the PRC effective from 1 January 2008.

  • (a) Transactions with other state-controlled entities:

The Company is a state-controlled entity and operates in an economic regime currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly controlled by the PRC government (“state-controlled entities”) through its government authorities, agencies, affiliations and other organisations, collectively referred to as government related entities.

Other than those disclosed in note 19(b), transactions with other statecontrolled entities include but are not limited to the following:

  • Purchase of services;

  • Utility supplies; and

These transactions are conducted in the ordinary course of the Group’s business on terms comparable to those with other entities that are not state-controlled. The Group has established its buying, pricing strategy and approval process for purchases and sales of products and services. Such buying, pricing strategy and approval processes do not depend on whether the counterparties are state-controlled entities or not.

Having considered the potential for transactions to be impacted by related party relationships, the Group’s pricing strategy, buying and approval processes, and what information would be necessary for an understanding of the potential effect of the relationship on the financial statements, the directors are of the opinion that the following transactions with other statecontrolled entities require disclosure:
