THIRD QUARTERLY REPORT 2020/2021

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 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.

This report, for which the directors (the “ Directors ”) of WT Group Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) 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 enquires, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this report 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 report misleading.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands (HK$’000), unless otherwise stated.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 31 March 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”) and the applicable disclosure requirements of chapter 18 of the GEM Listing Rules. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures as required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, as set out in the latest annual report.

The accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 except for the adoption of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the HKICPA mandatory for the annual periods beginning on 1 July 2020.

For those new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations which have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted, the Group is in the process of assessing their impact on the Group’s results and financial position.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The chief operating decision-maker (the “ CODM ”) has been identified as the executive Directors of the Company who reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources.

The CODM assesses the performance based on a measure of profit after income tax and considers all businesses to be included in a single operating segment.

The Group is principally engaged in the business of specialised works and general building works in Hong Kong. Information reported to CODM, for the purpose of resources allocation and performance assessment, focuses on the operating results of the Group as a whole as the Group’s resources are integrated and no discrete operating segment financial information is available. Accordingly, no operating segment information is presented.

All of the Group’s activities are carried out in Hong Kong and all of the Group’s assets and liabilities are located in Hong Kong. Accordingly, no analysis by geographical basis during the period would be shown.

10 WT GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BUSINESS REVIEW

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of specialised works and general building works as a main contractor in Hong Kong, through Wai Tat Foundation & Engineering Limited (“ Wai Tat ”), the key operating subsidiary. The Group undertakes specialised works which include (i) foundation and site formation works; (ii) demolition works; and (iii) ground investigation field works. The Group also undertake general building works including superstructure building works, slope maintenance works, hoarding works, alteration and addition works and other miscellaneous construction works.

For the nine months ended 31 March 2021, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$2.2 million as compared to net loss of approximately HK$4.7 million for the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease in the Group’s net loss for the nine months ended 31 March 2021 was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the gross profit mainly due to the projects mix that we carried out during the nine months ended 31 March 2021 which had generated a higher gross profit than those projects carried out during the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and (ii) the decrease in administration expenses, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in employee benefits expenses and depreciation.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The construction industry in Hong Kong is challenging and competitive. Given the economic uncertainty and the outbreak of the COVID-19, the Group is of the view that the overall construction industry in Hong Kong will be rollbacked in the coming year. Also, under the keen competition in the construction industry, securing a construction contract has become more difficult than before. Therefore, the Group has to take part more rigorously in tender bidding and has to adopt a competitive tender pricing policy, which undoubtedly affects the financial performance of the Group.

Despite the challenges ahead, the Group is prudently optimistic in the long term and believes opportunities always exist in the construction market in Hong Kong. With the experienced and professional management team, established relationship with the customers and suppliers as well as the Group’s commitment to maintain high safety and working standard, the Directors are of the view that the Group is well-positioned to capture further business opportunities by focusing on the foundation and site formation works and superstructure building works projects in Hong Kong. The Group will continue to pursue its business objectives and strategies: (i) expanding the market share and compete for more foundation and site formation projects, and superstructure building works projects and (ii) adherence to prudent financial management to ensure sustainable growth and capital sufficiency. While the Group is closely monitoring the latest development of the COVID-19 and its impact on the industry and the economy of Hong Kong, it would adjust its strategies from time to time when necessary.

THIRD QUARTERLY REPORT 2020/2021 11

Bearing in mind the associated risks and in consideration to maximise the returns to the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholders ”), the Directors may also consider other investment opportunities to broaden the base of return of the Group. As at the date of this report, the Group has not identified any investment opportunities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

For the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, the Group generated total revenue of approximately HK$50.8 million and HK$21.0 million, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately 58.7%. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to a decrease in the number of construction projects with large contract value undertaken by the Group for the nine months ended 31 March 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

For the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, the Group recorded gross profit of approximately HK$1.1 million and HK$2.6 million, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 136.4% and the gross profit margin of the Group was approximately 2.2% and 12.2% for the respective periods. Increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the projects mix that we carried out during the nine months ended 31 March 2021 which had generated a higher gross profit than those projects carried out during the nine months ended 31 March 2020.

Administrative expenses

Our administrative expenses mainly consist of employee benefits expenses including Director’s emoluments, audit fees and other professional fees. Our administrative expenses amounted to approximately HK$6.6 million and HK$5.5 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately 16.7%. The decrease in the administrative expenses for the nine months ended 31 March 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 was mainly attributable to the decrease in employee benefits expenses and depreciation.

Income tax credit

For the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, the Group recorded income tax credit of approximately HK$0.7 million and approximately HK$0.1 million, respectively. The income tax credit was mainly contributed from the deferred income tax recognised during the period.

12 WT GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Loss and total comprehensive loss attributable to owners of the Company

Loss and total comprehensive loss for the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and 2021 amounted to approximately HK$4.7 million and HK$2.2 million, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately 53.2%. The decrease in the Group’s net loss for the nine months ended 31 March 2021 was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the gross profit due to the projects mix that we carried out during the nine months ended 31 March 2021 which had generated a higher gross profit than those projects carried out during the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and (ii) the decrease in administration expenses, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in employee benefits expenses and depreciation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

The Board is responsible for performing the corporate governance duties in the Corporate Governance Code (the “ CG Code ”) as set out in Appendix 15 of the GEM Listing Rules. The Board reviewed the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices, training and continuous professional development of Directors and senior management, the Company’s policies and practices on compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and the Company’s compliance with the CG code and disclosure. During the nine months ended 31 March 2021, to the best knowledge of the Board, except for the following, the Company has complied with all the applicable code provisions set out in the CG Code:

The principle of code provision A.2.1 of CG Code stipulates that there should be a clear division of the management of the Board and the day-to-day management of the business. The Group has not appointed the chief executive officer. However, the management of the Board and the day-to-day management of the business are primarily performed by Mr. Yip (deceased) and Mr. Kam following the passing of Mr. Yip. The Group is of the view that there is a deviation from code provision A.2.1 of CG Code. As Mr. Yip (deceased) had been and Mr. Kam has been operating and managing Wai Tat, our operating subsidiary, since 2002 and 2004 respectively, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Group to have Mr. Yip (deceased) and Mr. Kam taking up both roles for effective management and business development.

Therefore, the Directors consider that the deviation from code provision A.2.1 of CG Code is appropriate in such circumstance. The Board believes that the balance of power and authority is ensured by the operations of the Board which comprises experienced and competent individuals, with three of them being independent non-executive Directors.

Except for the deviation from code provision A.2.1 of CG Code, the Company’s corporate governance practices have complied with the CG Code.
