(b) Segment reporting

Business segments

In accordance with the Group's internal financial reporting system, the Group has chosen business segment information as the reporting format for the purposes of these consolidated financial statements of the Group.

No geographical segment information is separately presented as the Group's business segments are mainly managed and operated in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The major market of the Group's business segments is the PRC.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on the line of reporting, and has two reportable operating segments as follows:

  • I. Development projects (excluded Danzhou Phase I but including Danzhou Phase II)

    The Company's executive directors consider that the Group's development projects refer to the development and sales of residential property units mainly in the PRC.

  • II. Danzhou Phase I

    Danzhou Phase I project ("Danzhou Phase I") refers to the development and sales of residential property units under phase I developed by Danzhou Shuanglian Property Development Company Limited ("Danzhou Shuanglian") in Hainan Province, the PRC.

The executive directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision makers, monitor the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Segment results, assets and liabilities

Segment assets and liabilities include all assets and liabilities of the Group, which are managed directly by the segments.

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.

The measure used for reporting segment profit (loss) is "adjusted EBIT" i.e. "adjusted earnings before interest and taxes", where "interest" is regarded as including investment income. To arrive at adjusted EBIT the Group's earnings (losses) are further adjusted for items not specifically attributed to individual segments.

Information regarding the Group's reportable segments for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 is set out below.

    Hong Kong profits tax

    No Hong Kong profits tax has been provided for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 as the Group's entities had no assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong for the years.

    CIT

    CIT has been provided on the estimated assessable profits of subsidiaries operating in the PRC at 25% (2019: 25%).

    The board of directors does not recommend the distribution of a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: Nil).

  • 9. EARNINGS (LOSSES) PER SHARE

    The calculation of basic earnings (losses) per share is based on the profit (loss) attributable to owners of the Company of RMB64,034,000 (2019: loss of RMB18,897,000) and the weighted average number of 300,000,000 (2019: 300,000,000) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

    There were no dilutive potential ordinary shares during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 and, therefore, the diluted earnings (losses) per share were the same as the basic earnings (losses) per share.

(i)Trade receivables comprise receivables due from customers in relation to sales of properties and rental income. Proceeds from the sale of properties are made in lump-sum payments or paid by instalments in accordance with the terms of the corresponding sale and purchase agreements. Receivables to be recovered more than one year are classified to non-current trade receivables. The remaining balance of trade receivables are expected to be recovered within one year. The Group does not hold any collaterals over these balances. In respect of the sale of properties, no credit terms are granted to customers.

(a) Ageing analysis of trade receivables

As of the end of the Reporting Period, the ageing analysis of gross trade receivables based on the invoice date that trade receivables were recognised, is as follows:

The Group does not hold any collateral over trade receivables as at 31 December 2020 (2019: Nil).

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the board (the "Board") of directors (the "Director(s)") of Hailan Holdings Limited (the "Company" or "Hailan Holdings", together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as the "Group"), I am pleased to present the audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "Reporting Period").

In the first half of 2020, despite the overall economy has been hindered by the novel coronavirus epidemic, with the PRC government's rapid response to the epidemic, in respect of the monetary environment, the relatively sufficient money supply provided more favourable monetary support for economic development due to thrice-lowered reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by the central bank as well as the reduced pressure on different markets and enterprises as a result of twice-lowered mortgage interest rate. In respect of the policy trends, the overall real estate market regulation policy would remain continuity and stability. At the end of the year, the position of government's policy of "housing properties for accommodation, not speculation" (גИʔق) was clearly emphasised during the conference of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Politburo's meeting and the Central Economic Work Conference. The central government would also pay more attention to preventing and resolving financial risk in the future, especially the "three red lines" (ɧ༸ߎᇞ) regarding the fund monitoring and financing management rules for real estate enterprises in August, which is conducive to the healthy expansion of companies, such as the Group, whose interest-bearing debt threshold is in a safe range. In respect of regional development, in the second quarter of 2020, the effective control of the domestic epidemic and the free trade policy and supportive policy implemented in Hainan, which were beneficial to the development of Hainan province, resulted in a significant increase in the number of tourists to Hainan and a surge of sales volume of real estates in Hainan province.

During the Reporting Period, contracted sales of the Group amounted to RMB2,309.4 million, representing an increase of 3.2 times as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. Contracted saleable gross floor area ("GFA") was approximately 171,961.5 square metre ("sq.m."), representing an increase of approximately 6.7 times over the corresponding period last year. The contracted average selling price ("ASP") was approximately RMB13,429.8 per sq.m., representing a decrease of about 45.9% over the corresponding period last year. The increase in contracted sales and contracted saleable GFA were mainly due to the Group undertook new development projects in Sanya City and Haikou City of Hainan Province, Zhanjiang City and Foshan City of Guangdong Province and Nanning City of Guangxi Province in the year.

Looking ahead, the global economy will remain unstable under the Sino-US trade disputes. In 2020, however, China is expected to become the only economy that achieves positive growth among the world's major economies in 2020 with strong development momentum. In terms of national strategy, the Group will continue to develop projects in Sanya and Danzhou, Hainan Province. By virtue of Hainan Island's premium climate and environment as well as the state policies, which support the business and development in Hainan Province, we remain optimistic about the long-term development of real estate operation in Hainan Province. We believe that the location of our valued assets, excellent track record of property management and property construction execution in Hainan Province, the PRC, and the highly supportive industry development policy in Hainan Province will help sustain the Group's business growth and development in Hainan Province in future.

To further promote the sustainable development of the Group, we have been exploring different exciting investment opportunities. Since 2019, other than Hainan Province, the Group has started to expand to Foshan, Zhanjiang and Meizhou in Guangdong Province for investment and development, and in 2020, the coverage has extended to Nanning and Qinzhou in Guangxi while deepening Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and laying out the Western Guangdong Area. Meanwhile, the Group has invested in the projects located in Long Island and Mountain View City, the U.S. Bay Area. The projects are still under development and thus no revenue from sales of properties is generated from such projects during the Reporting Period. It is anticipated that such projects will contribute to the Group to a certain extent in the coming 2 years.

The management has formulated the future development plan. By basing in Hong Kong, delving into the PRC market, expanding the market in North America and spreading global footprints, it will further promote the development of the Group's business and create the best return for shareholders.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Board to all our staff for their hard work, and my heartfelt thanks to investors, customers and business partners for their strong and continuous support to the Group.

CODE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Company is committed to maintain high standards of corporate governance with a view to assure the conduct of management of the Company and protect the interests of all shareholders. The Company are fully aware that transparency and accountability in corporate governance are crucially important to the shareholders and the Board considers that sound corporate governance can maximise the shareholders' interest.

The Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules as its own code of conduct of corporate governance.

During the Reporting Period, the Company has complied with the code provisions as set out in the CG Code except for the deviation from code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code as described below.

Under code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code as set out in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Under the current organisation structure of the Group, the function of chief executive officer is performed by Ms. Zhou Li. The Board is of the opinion that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive officer in Ms. Zhou Li has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Group thus enabling more effective and efficient strategic planning for the Group.

Under this arrangement, the Board also believes that the balance of power and authority will not be compromised and is adequately ensured by the existing Board which comprises experienced and competent individuals with more than one-third of the Board being independent non-executive directors. Therefore, the Board considers that the deviation from code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstances.
