BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, digital technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies have demonstrated important roles in dealing with the pandemic and managing the public health. As the only a few economies with fast growth in 2021, China continuously leads the investment in new digital infrastructure, of which has been raised to its national strategy that focuses on digitalization, intelligence and innovation. The emphasis of new digital infrastructure together with "Healthy China 2030" and the "14th Five Year Plan" have driven the huge growth potential in the health technology sector. In order to achieve a healthy and sustainable growth, the Chinese legislators have enacted several legislations, such as Data Security Law and Personal Information Protection Law, to encourage scientific and technological innovations on the premise of sticking to the safety bottom line. The legislations which we fully support point out the direction for the industry.

We are on the front line of applying AI and big data technologies to empower the digital transformation of healthcare sector along the supply chain for higher efficiency. As a leading company in the health technology sector, we fulfilled our social responsibility by leveraging our state-of-the-art technology to support the fight against the pandemic. Our data intelligence infrastructure YiduCore consists of algorithms and insightful knowledge that are continuously accumulated as we expand our use-case scenarios upon proper authorization. As of 30 September 2021, YiduCore has processed and analyzed more than 2.2 billion healthcare records from over 500 million patients covering over 600 hospitals across more than 20 provinces. We have made significant breakthroughs in public health, research, and diagnosis and treatment scenarios where we put great efforts in.

Our business has revealed a strong growth momentum despite external pressure. For the six months ended 30 September 2021, our total revenue amounted to RMB501.9 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 62.3%. Our gross profit margin remained stable at 28.7%. As of 30 September 2021, we have provided service solutions for 78 top research hospitals in China and 21 regulators and policy makers, with an increase of two hospitals and two regulators and policy makers during the Reporting Period. The number of active life sciences customers we served reached 127 as at 30 September 2021, with an increase of 19 active customers during the Reporting Period.

YiduCore, our intelligent "medical brain", supports our customers and partners to unlock the value of health data to drive better outcomes by enabling the secured applicability of high-quality data in different use-case scenarios. This has been made possible by our commitment to "data intelligence, green healthcare" and years of persistent investments.

As we adhere to our mission "to make value-based precision healthcare accessible to everyone", we look forward to creating greater value for major participants1 of the healthcare ecosystem and ultimately, delivering better services and outcomes for patients.

1: Major participants include physicians, researchers and hospitals, regulators and policy makers, pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies, and insurance companies.

Business Review and Outlook (Continued)

YiduCore

YiduCore, our data intelligence infrastructure represents our core capabilities that can be understood in terms of three layers. The first layer is our data processing capabilities which allow us to aggregate and convert the raw and scattered data on the information technology systems of hospitals and healthcare institutions into computable, structured and standardized data that can be analyzed with speed, accuracy and cost-efficiency. The second layer consists of our medical knowledge, insights and disease models that are continuously reinforced and expanded as they are applied to drive our data-analytics driven solutions for our customers in the various use-case scenarios. The final layer is our scenario specific operations and service capabilities that we develop to help our customers better realize the value of our solutions and our ecosystem to achieve their target outcomes.

Privacy and security have been built into YiduCore since day one. We invest heavily in the area of secure computation and we are one of the only three healthcare technology companies in China that were certified by China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) in terms of Secure Multi-Party Computation and Federated Learning capabilities. We have also established a joint research center with Tsinghua University to carry-out and promote the use of federated learning and secure computing techniques.

Leveraging YiduCore, the effectiveness and value of our analytics solutions have been verified in various use-case scenarios.

  • Public Health: Our comprehensive public health solutions offers large-scale simulation and predication to proactively assess the risks, optimizes the resource allocation and achieves efficient dynamic decisionmaking. We have assisted more than 10 local authorities to enhance the public safety measures at the peak of the epidemic. Our risk prediction and policy simulation models allowed one of the authorities in Guangdong province to effectively estimate epidemic outbreak curve and form lockdown strategy, reducing mortality rate while keeping economic continuity. The predicted outbreak curve coincided with the actual evolution, and the difference fell within 5 cases.
  • Research: We increase the productivity of research-grade evidence generation and deliver high-quality care to patient as needed in an affordable way. We undertook the development of Real-World Data ("RWD") Clinical Research Platform in Hainan Boao Lecheng with tens of millions of contract value. The platform aims to promote the application of RWD and accelerate the approval of fast-track drugs and devices. With advanced data governance and analytics-driven technologies, this platform facilitates researchers and regulators to generate and evaluate evidence of efficacy and safety in real-world clinical setting.
  • Clinical diagnosis: We are patient-centric and outcome-based, in order to realize the mission of making precision healthcare accessible to everyone. We partnered with a leading physician at one of the top three hospitals in China and developed a predictive model to predict Candidaemia in ICU patients with New-Onset Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. Compared with the traditional microbial-culture testing that generally takes days, this model can instantly identify patients at infection risk. In this way, physicians are able to prioritize resources and provide timely treatment to patients in need, and thus reducing the mortality rate and patients' disease burden. The accuracy of the model has been verified in over 1,600 historical data from three hospitals, and the results have been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

Big Data Platform and Solutions

The Big Data Platform and Solutions segment is our longest operating business segment. It mainly serves hospitals and other healthcare institutions, as well as regulators and policy makers, to help them unlock the value of healthcare data through our analytics-driven solutions. As the segment grows, it also serves to expand and solidify the foundation of our data intelligence infrastructure.

We have entered into agreements with hospitals, regulators and policy makers, pursuant to which we provide our big data platforms to help them aggregate and process multi-source heterogeneous data into high-quality standardized and structured data that can be analyzed quickly and accurately. These platforms are implemented under proper authorization and can further empower a wide range of applications and solutions.

For hospitals, our platforms process longitudinal healthcare records across different settings and departments and mainly serve in medical research, clinical diagnosis and treatment and hospital operations management scenarios. We have further cooperated with top-grade hospitals and experts to establish disease registries and research networks. After obtaining proper authorizations, we can support them to conduct large scale clinical research with more refined disease data granularity.

The data we processed and analyzed for regulators and policy makers are more enriched and diversified and we mainly focus on three categories of use-case scenarios, including public health surveillance, pandemic response and population health management.

We implement a comprehensive and rigorous data privacy and security program to ensure the security, confidentiality, and integrity of data that we have been authorized to access and the stability and reliability of the services that we provide.

Our disease models for various disease areas continue to expand and refine as we collaborate with more top-grade hospitals and experts. During the Reporting Period, we have entered into agreements with two new top research hospitals and two new regulators and policy makers. We have also built disease registries covering 60 disease areas to enable the production of research-grade evidence to be more efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, we have partnered with two out of three hematology National Clinical Research Center (NCRC) hospitals, which are already within our network, to develop national disease registries and carry out efficient clinical trials and cross-institutional Real-World Evidence (RWE)-based researches. These NCRC hospitals have supported over 15 clinical studies and trials. We continue to refine and perfecting our real-world disease models by utilizing AI technologies, such as symbolic knowledge inference models and deep learning. As of 30 September 2021, nearly 120 papers have been published based on our disease registries and big data platforms.

Our clients highly recognized our value, which is evidenced by our ability to generate recurring engagements. For example, we served a city in Zhejiang province in prior years for a regional platform that covers over 200 healthcare institutions. The data granularity and analytics capabilities of our platform enable the local authority to plan and allocate medical resources more efficiently and effectively when combating the epidemic. During the Reporting Period, we escalated our solution offerings by providing comprehensive public health solutions which enable active monitoring and dynamic policy-making for 40 infectious diseases.

Business Review and Outlook (Continued)

For the six months ended 30 September 2021, this segment recorded a total revenue of RMB157.9 million, and a gross profit margin of 41.7%, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.9 percentage points. After normalizing the one-off international revenue of medical devices and other COVID-19 related supplies in the first half of fiscal year 2021, this segment maintained a solid year-on-year increase of 21.1%.

During the Reporting Period, we conducted a comprehensive retrospective real-world study for a top 20 MNC client and obtained approval of CDE (Center for Drug Evaluation, National Medical Products Administration) for label revision of its antibiotic drug. The approved revision has reduced the complexity in use.

As of 30 September 2021, we have over 400 employees in our Life Sciences Solutions segment with an average of 7.9 years of relevant experience in clinical research, data science, epidemiology, biostatistics, medical informatics, AI and others.

The number of our active customers grew rapidly. During the Reporting Period, the number of active customers increased by 19 to 127, and our core active pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device company customers increased by 10 to 90. In addition, we served 17 out of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies in terms of revenue in 2020. While enlarging the customer base, we also actively enrich our solutions to enhance customer stickiness and expand the wallet share of our customers. During the Reporting Period, the overall revenue retention of all our customers was 133%, while the revenue retention of our core pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device company customers was 140%. For the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Life Sciences Solutions segment recorded a total revenue of RMB145.6 million, achieving a more than doubled year-on-year growth, and a gross profit margin of 20.0% representing an increase of 3.4 percentage points.

Health Management Platform and Solutions

Health Management Platform and Solutions segment is our latest segment with huge growth potential. During the Reporting Period, the revenue of this segment recorded a year-on-year increase by 642.6%.

In order to realize the mission of making precision healthcare accessible to everyone, we deliver AI-empowered and one-stop data-driven solutions for the management of patients with different types of diseases. We empower doctors and other care providers on our platform to be more effective by providing them relevant insights and knowledge upon proper authorization, and convenient patient management tools. Research doctors can also use our platform and tools to conduct their research and follow-up with and manage their research participants more efficiently. This is our approach to achieving "patient-centered, outcome-oriented" care.

Take "CausaHealth Diabetes Program" for example. With the medical knowledge and insights accumulated in YiduCore, we are able to offer coordinated care that integrates treatment in traditional care settings with out-ofhospital care and lifestyle interventions that include nutrition, mental and physical activities. We have established and verified the quantitative models of reducing glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c, the gold diagnosis standard for diabetes treatment effect) through AI-driven automated patient management. Apart from precisely recommending treatment plans, it can also conduct a risk prediction model to achieve personalized policy and treatment plans for different users. With a twelve-week intervention, we have achieved an average reduction of HbA1c by approximately 1%.

Within this segment, we also offer insurance technology and solutions to insurance companies and agencies. Leveraging our deep insights and knowledge powered by YiduCore, our solutions are aimed at facilitating insurance companies and agencies to develop innovative insurance products, enabling faster and more accurate insurance underwriting and expediting claim processing. Hui Min Bao is a city-level supplementary insurance product of the existing national social medical insurance.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), we also use adjusted net loss (defined below) as an additional financial measure, which is not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS. We believe that the presentation of this non-IFRS measure facilitates comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential impact of items that our management does not consider to be indicative of our operating performance such as certain non-cash items and certain impact of investment transactions. We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Group's consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management. However, the use of non-IFRS measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial conditions as reported under IFRS. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measure may be defined differently from similar terms used by other companies.

We define "adjusted net loss" as loss for the period and adding back (i) fair value changes of convertible redeemable preferred shares, (ii) fair value changes of convertible notes, (iii) fair value changes of warrants, (iv) share-based compensation expenses and (v) listing expenses.

For the six months ended 30 September 2020 and 2021, our adjusted net loss was RMB165.8 million and RMB321.5 million, respectively.

The following table set forth the reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measure for the six months ended 30 September 2020 and 2021 to the nearest measure prepared in accordance with IFRS.

In lieu of feasibility studies, we plan to promote and explore these new projects on a pilot basis and talk to potential customers in small-scale business teams. We will leverage our robust customer base and continue to deepen our long-term relationship with, and increase the spending by, existing customers, such as seeking to generate recurring revenues and drive purchases of additional services and solutions.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

  • approximately 20% of the Net Proceeds is expected to be used for further enrich our ecosystem through strategic partnerships, investments and acquisitions. To complement our organic growth strategy, we will continue to enrich our ecosystem by selectively pursuing suitable strategic partnerships, investments and acquisitions in China and the international markets we plan to expand into, such as (i) businesses that possess cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning, big data analytics and other technologies related to our business that would allow us to enhance our data intelligence infrastructure; (ii) businesses with proven monetization models in the healthcare big data solutions market that synergize with our plans to broaden our service offerings; and (iii) companies that operate healthcare apps or social communities with meaningful user bases that would allow us to attract new participants to our ecosystem. We currently intend to make investments in targets located in China or Southeast Asian countries. We may invest in digital health companies, health management service providers, health content providers and strategic ecosystem providers that can operate on our big data platform or health management platform and can enrich our offerings to our customers.

Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code

The Company is committed to enhancing its corporate governance practices appropriate to the conduct and the growth of its business and to reviewing such practices from time to time to ensure that they comply with statutory and professional standards and align with the latest development.

During the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Company has complied with all applicable code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, save for the deviations as explained below.

Code provision A.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code recommends, but does not require, that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.

Post-IPO Share Award Scheme

The Post-IPO Share Award Scheme was conditionally adopted pursuant to the resolutions of the Shareholders on 28 December 2020. The Post-IPO Share Award Scheme is not a share option scheme and is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of the Post-IPO Share Award Scheme is to align the interests of eligible persons with those of our Group through ownership of Shares, dividends and other distributions paid on Shares and/or the increase in value of the Shares, and to encourage and retain eligible persons to make contributions to the long-term growth and profits of our Group.

Any individual, being an employee, director, officer, consultant, adviser, distributor, contractor, customer, supplier, agent, business partner, joint venture business partner or service provider of any member of our Group or any affiliate of the Group who the Board or its delegate(s) considers, in its sole discretion, to have contributed or will contribute to our Group is eligible to receive an award.

The maximum aggregate number of Shares underlying all grants made pursuant to the Post-IPO Share Award Scheme (excluding Shares which have been forfeited in accordance with the Post-IPO Share Award Scheme) will not exceed 45,088,100 Shares without further Shareholders' approval, subject to an annual limit of 3% of the total number of issued Shares of the relevant times.

The Post-IPO Share Award Scheme shall be valid and effective for ten years from the Listing Date (after which no awards will be granted), and thereafter for so long as there are any non-vested Shares granted prior to the expiration of the Post-IPO Share Award Scheme, for the purpose of giving effect to the vesting of such Shares or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Post-IPO Share Award Scheme.

7,013,355 Shares were granted during the six months ended 30 September 2021 in total. On 1 July 2021 and 29 July 2021, 6,918,355 and 95,000 Shares were granted to employees, respectively.

Further details of the Post-IPO Share Award Scheme are set out in the Prospectus.

Post-IPO Share Option Scheme

The Post-IPO Share Option Scheme was conditionally adopted pursuant to the resolutions of the Shareholders on 28 December 2020. The Post-IPO Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective for the period of ten years commencing on the Listing Date (after which, no further options shall be offered or granted). The remaining life of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme is approximately nine years.

The purpose of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme is to provide selected participants with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in our Company and to encourage the selected participants to work towards enhancing the value of our Company and its Shares for the benefit of our Company and Shareholders as a whole. The Post-IPO Share Option Scheme will provide our Company with a flexible means of retaining, incentivizing, rewarding, remunerating, compensating and/or providing benefits to eligible persons.

Any individual, being an employee, director, officer, consultant, advisor, distributor, contractor, customer, supplier, agent, business partner, joint venture business partner or service provider of any member of our Group or any of our Group's affiliates who the Board or its delegate(s) considers, in its sole discretion, to have contributed or will contribute to our Group is entitled to be offered and granted options.

The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any other schemes is 90,176,201, being no more than 10% of the Shares in issue on the Listing Date (the "Option Scheme Mandate Limit"). Options which have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the rules of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme (or any other share option schemes of our Company) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Option Scheme Mandate Limit.

Notes:

(1) The exercise period of the options granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme shall commence from the date on which the relevant options become vested and end on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, subject to the terms of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme signed by the grantee.

(2) The fair value of the options granted during the Reporting Period is HK\$69,956,776.

The overall limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of our Company at any time (and to which the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules are applicable) must not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time (the "Option Scheme Limit"). No options may be granted under any schemes of our Company (or its subsidiaries) if this will result in the Option Scheme Limit being exceeded.

The Option Scheme Mandate Limit may be refreshed at any time by obtaining prior approval of our Shareholders in general meeting and/or such other requirements prescribed under the Listing Rules from time to time. However, the refreshed Option Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed cannot exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of such approval. Options previously granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of our Company (and to which the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules are applicable) (including those outstanding, cancelled or lapsed in accordance with its terms or exercised), shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the refreshed Option Scheme Mandate Limit.

Our Company may also grant options in excess of the Option Scheme Mandate Limit, provided such grant is to specifically identified selected participant and is first approved by Shareholders in general meeting.

Unless approved by our Shareholders, the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted and to be granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of our Company to each selected participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12 month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of Shares in issue.

An option may, subject to the rules of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and the terms and conditions upon which such option is granted, be exercised in whole or in part by the grantee giving notice in writing to our Company in such form as our Board may from time to time determine stating that the option is thereby exercised and the number of Shares in respect of which it is exercised.

An offer shall be made to selected participants by a letter in duplicate which specifies the terms on which the option is to be granted. Such terms may include any minimum period(s) for which an option must be held and/or any minimum performance target(s) that must be achieved, before the option can be exercised in whole or in part, and may include at the discretion of the Board or its delegate(s) such other terms either on a case basis or generally.

Pursuant to the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme, the participants may subscribe for the shares on the exercise of an option at the price determined by the Board provided that it shall not be less than the greater of (a) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the Stock Exchange on the date of grant; (b) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (c) the nominal value of a Share on the date of grant.

As of 30 September 2021, the Company granted 4,842,450 options to its employees and 171,000 options had been cancelled or lapsed under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme. The total number of Shares available for grant under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme was 85,504,751 Shares, representing 8.76% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Further details of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme are set out in the Prospectus.

Directors' Rights to Acquire Shares or Debentures

Save as otherwise disclosed in this interim report, at no time during the six months ended 30 September 2021, was the Company or any of its subsidiaries a party to any arrangement that would enable the Directors to acquire benefits by means of acquisition of Shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate, and none of the Directors or any of their spouses or children under the age of 18 were granted any right to subscribe for the equity or debt securities of the Company or any other body corporate or had exercised any such right.

Purchase, Sale or Redemption of Listed Securities

During the six months ended 30 September 2021, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries or consolidated attributed entities has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company's listed securities.

Audit Committee

The Group has established an audit committee comprising three members, being Dr. Ma Wei-Ying, Ms. Pan Rongrong and Prof. Zhang Linqi, with Ms. Pan Rongrong (being the Company's independent non-executive Director with the appropriate professional qualifications) as chair of the audit committee.

The audit committee has reviewed the consolidated financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and has met with the independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers. The audit committee has also discussed matters with respect to the accounting policies and practices adopted by the Company and internal control and financial reporting matters with senior management members of the Company.

Auditors scope of work

The Company's external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has performed a review of the Group's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2021 in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". PricewaterhouseCoopers confirmed that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Board of Directors of Yidu Tech Inc.

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 35 to 72, which comprises the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of Yidu Tech Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") as at 30 September 2021 and the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information of the Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information (Continued)

Other Matter

The comparative information for the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on the audited financial statements as at 31 March 2021. The comparative information for the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, and related explanatory notes, for the six months ended 30 September 2020 has not been audited or reviewed.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information comprises the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2021, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes (the "Interim Financial Information"). The Interim Financial Information is presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), unless otherwise stated.

2 Basis of preparation

The Interim Financial Information for the six months ended 30 September 2021 has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34").

The Interim Financial Information does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial statements. Accordingly, it should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period.

3 Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied to the preparation of the Interim Financial Information are consistent with those of applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The adoption of the new and amended standards which are effective for annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2021 does not have any significant impact on the Group's significant accounting policies and the presentation of this interim condensed consolidated financial information.

In addition, certain new and amended standards and annual improvements have been published that are not mandatory for the current reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. These new and amended standards and annual improvements are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Interim Financial Information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the Interim Financial Information, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

5 Financial risk management

(a) Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Interim Financial Information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. There have been no changes in the risk management policies since 31 March 2021.

(b) Fair value estimation

(i) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the consolidated financial information. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Financial assets

purchase their preferred shares 20,945 20,945
Total financial assets 20,945 20,945

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

(ii) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
  • for other financial instruments discounted cash flow analysis.

For unlisted equity securities, a contingent consideration receivable and certain derivative contracts, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.

(iii) Valuation processes

The Group engages an independent valuer that performs the valuations of non-property items required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. The independent valuer communicates with finance team and the chief financial officer (CFO). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between finance team, the CFO and the independent valuer on a periodical basis, in line with the Group's reporting periods.

5 Financial risk management (Continued)

(b) Fair value estimation (Continued)

(iii) Valuation processes (Continued)

The main level 3 inputs used by the Group are derived and evaluated as follows:

Discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. Credit risk factors specific to the Group (including assumptions about credit default rates) are derived from credit risk gradings determined by the Group's internal credit risk management group. Expected revenue growth and profit margins factors for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on market information of comparable companies with similar business.

If the fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss — Loan to a third party with warrants to purchase their preferred shares held by the Group had been 10% higher/lower, the loss before income tax for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 would have been approximately RMB2.1 million lower/higher and RMB2.1 million lower/higher, respectively.

There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 of fair value hierarchy classifications during the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020.

6 Segment information

(a) Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers

The Group's business activities, for which discrete financial information are available, are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). As a result of this evaluation, the Group determined that it has operating segments as follows:

  • Big data platform and solutions
  • Life sciences solutions

6 Segment information (Continued)

(a) Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers (Continued)

  • Health management platform and solutions
  • Others

CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments mainly based on segment revenue and gross profit of each operating segment which is used by management as a basis for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The selling and marketing expenses, administrative expenses and research and development expenses are not included in the measurement of the segments' performance. Net impairment losses on financial assets and contract assets, other income, other gains/ (losses) — net, finance costs/income — net, shares of loss from investments in associates, fair value changes of convertible redeemable preferred shares, fair value changes of convertible notes, fair value changes of warrants and income tax expenses are also not allocated to individual operating segments. Revenues from external customers reported to CODM are measured as segment revenue, which is derived from the customers in each segment. Cost of sales and services primarily comprises cost for purchasing of hardware and software, cost of development services, salary and compensation expenses, and others. The segment information provided to CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that applied in these financial information. There was no information on separate segment assets and segment liabilities provided to CODM, as CODM does not use such information to allocate resources to or evaluate the performance of the operating segments. The revenue segment information reported to CODM for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

13 Loss per share

(a) Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the Company's owners by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020.

The calculation of loss per share is based on the following:

30 September Six months ended
2021 2020
RMB'000 RMB'000
(Unaudited) (Unaudited)
Loss attributable to owners of the Company

(1,192,614)

Basic loss per share (RMB yuan) (0.47) (2.95)

(b) Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

As the Group incurred losses for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020, the potential ordinary shares were not included in the calculation of dilutive loss per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 are the same as basic loss per share for the respective periods.
