NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-
CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Singapore on 18 November 2004 under the Singapore Companies Act and its shares are listed on Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The address of the Company's principal place of business is 5 Tampines Central 1, #06- 05 Tampines Plaza, Singapore 529541. The registered office of the Company is located at 138 Robinson Road, #26-03, Oxley Tower, Singapore 068906. The principal place of business of the Group is located at No. 138 Taodu Road, Dingshu Town, Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").
The Company is an investment holding company, and the principal activities of the subsidiaries are research, design, development and manufacture of telecommunication and technological products, production of radio frequency coaxial cables for mobile communications and mobile communications systems exchange equipment. The Group's operations are principally conducted in the PRC. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation
The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with all applicable International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), which collective term includes all applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") that are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 3 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in the Financial Statements.
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 comprise the Group and the Group's interest in an associate.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except that certain assets which are stated at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), being the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency of the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The IASB has issued the following amendments to IFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group: - Amendments to IFRS 3, Definition of a Business
- Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
- Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, Definition of Material
- 8 -
None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial report. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period except for the amendment to IFRS 16, COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions, which provides a practical expedient that allows lessees not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and, instead, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications.
Amendment to IFRS 16, COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions
The amendment provides a practical expedient that allows a lessee to by-pass the need to evaluate whether certain qualifying rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19-relatedrent concessions") are lease modifications and, instead, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications.
The Group has elected to early adopt the amendments and applies the practical expedient to all qualifying COVID-19-related rent concessions granted to the Group during the interim reporting period. Consequently, rent concessions received have been accounted for as negative variable lease payments recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurred. There is no impact on the opening balance of equity at 1 January 2020.
4. REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment reporting
The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by a mixture of both business lines (products and services) and geography. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group's senior management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments. - Radio frequency coaxial cables: the transmission of high-frequency signals between antenna and base station equipment in outdoor base station wireless signal coverage system and indoor wireless signal coverage system in buildings.
- Telecommunication equipment and accessories: the transmission of signals within microwave communications systems, radio broadcast wireless systems and air/sea radar systems, the accessories are such as connectors and jumper cables used for wireless signal coverage systems equipment within base stations.
- Antennas: are adopted by telecom operators for use in signal transmission for wireless communications.
For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group's senior executive management monitor the results attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:
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 is profit or loss before tax, adjusted for items not specifically attributed to individual segments, such as other income, central interest expense, central administration costs, independent directors' fees at corporate level and foreign exchange gains or losses. Segment profit or loss is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.
In addition to receiving segment information concerning segment results, management is provided with segment information concerning interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, asset impairment losses and related reversals.
Segment assets and liabilities are not regularly reported to the Group's executive directors and therefore information of reportable segment assets and liabilities are not presented in the consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss
Material fluctuations of the consolidated statement of profit or loss items are explained below:
Revenue
The Group's revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2020 ("1H2020" or the "Reporting Period") decreased by approximately RMB215.8 million, or approximately 27.6% from approximately RMB781.5 million during the six months ended 30 June 2019 ("1H2019") to approximately RMB565.7 million in 1H2020.
RF Coaxial Cables
Revenue generated from the segment of RF Coaxial Cables decreased by approximately RMB24.0 million or approximately 7.7% from approximately RMB310.6 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB286.6 million in 1H2020. In particular, the decrease in revenue for this segment is due to the decrease in leaky cables of approximately RMB15.7 million or 19.7% from 1H2019's approximately RMB79.6 million to approximately RMB63.9 million in 1H2020 amid weakening 4G investment with 5G technology being at the initial stage of official commercial application. Despite the decline in revenue from leaky cables in 1H2020, the gross profit margin of leaky cables has increased by more than 10 percentage points in 1H2020 as compared with 1H2019 because the leaky cables products sold in 1H2020 have higher profitability than that sold in 1H2019.
Amid COVID-19 pandemic during 1H2020 and the general retracting market trend on the demand of feeder cables, revenue from feeder cables only declined by approximately RMB8.2 million or 3.5% from 1H2019's approximately RMB231.0 million to 1H2020's approximately RMB222.8 million with gross profit margin up by approximately 1.1 percentage point comparing 1H2020 and 1H2019.
In general, the overall gross profit margin of RF Coaxial Cables in 1H2020 increased by approximately 2.9 percentage points as compared with that of 1H2019 due to the improvements of the gross profit margin of leaky and feeder cables as compared with that of 1H2019 as the products sold in 1H2020 generally have higher profitability than that sold in 1H2019. Furthermore, the Group has also continued to increase its effort in business transformation and allocated more resources to consolidate its position in existing RF Coaxial Cables (feeder and leaky cables) markets in preparation for the development of 5G telecommunication in the near future.
Telecommunication equipment and accessories
Revenue generated from the segment of telecommunication equipment and accessories decreased by approximately RMB59.3 million or approximately 33.0% from approximately RMB179.8 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB120.5 million in
- 19 -
1H2020. The significant decrease in the revenue from telecommunication equipment and accessories is because the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the demand on 5G related products and the holding up of purchase orders on 4G related products from various telecommunication operators in China.
Antennas
Revenue generated from Antennas during 1H2020 was approximately RMB134.2 million and the revenue of Antennas during 1H2019 was approximately RMB241.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB107.7 million or approximately 44.5%. As 4G products entered its life cycle tail stage with 5G products pending large- scale commercialization due to COVID-19 pandemic in 1H2020, our sales of 5G related Antennas remained yet to achieve the satisfactory results. On the gradual introduction of commercialized 5G products and mobile devices in 2020, the Group will continue to increase its efforts in antennas market promotion during the future telecommunication network upgrade for the major domestic telecommunication operators.
Others (HTRC (High Temperature Resistant Cables) and antennas testing services)
Revenue generated from this segment decreased by approximately RMB24.9 million or approximately 50.6% from approximately RMB49.2 million during 1H2019 to approximately RMB24.3 million during 1H2020, of which the decrease was mostly attributable to the significant decrease in the sales of HTRC during 1H2020. Such decrease was mainly because of the weak demand due to COVID-19 pandemic and slow development of 5G telecommunication and declining 4G market.
Gross profit margin
The Group achieved an overall gross profit margin of approximately 22.9% during 1H2020 compared to approximately 24.1% during 1H2019, representing a decrease of approximately 1.2 percentage point period-on-period. As mentioned above, although facing intense market competition and declining market demand amid COVID-19 pandemic, feeder and leaky cables have achieved a higher gross profit margin and gross profit contribution during 1H2020 as compared with 1H2019, overall gross profit margin of RF Coaxial Cables (feeder and leaky cables) has increased by approximately
2.9 percentage points from 1H2019's approximately 19.3% to approximately 22.2% in 1H2020 with gross profit contribution increased by approximately RMB3.9 million period-on-period.
However, the gross profit margin of Antennas has decreased by approximately 9.1 percentage points from 1H2019's 29.1% to approximately 20.0% in 1H2020 because the Antennas products sold in 1H2020 generally have lower profitability than that sold in 1H2019. As a result, the overall gross profit margin of the Group decreased accordingly. Besides the continuing optimization of the use of raw materials and labour, the Group will also review its products mix and business transformation process in order to strive for a further enhancement in product profitability.
- 20 -
Other operating income
Other operating income increased by approximately RMB5.5 million or approximately 45.1% from approximately RMB12.2 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB17.7 million in 1H2020. The increase is primarily due to:
- increase in interest income by approximately RMB3.7 million; and
- exchange gains of approximately RMB1.6 million arising from movements in renminbi exchange rate in 1H2020, which was classified as other operating income as compared to the net exchange losses of approximately RMB0.2 million in 1H2019 that was classified as other operating expenses.
Selling and distribution expenses
Selling and distribution expenses decreased by approximately RMB7.3 million or approximately 13.4% from approximately RMB54.4 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB47.1 million in 1H2020. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in transportation costs and marketing expenses as a result of the decrease in revenue amid COVID-19 pandemic during 1H2020.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses decreased by approximately RMB3.7 million or approximately 16.7% from approximately RMB22.1 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB18.4 million in 1H2020. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in staff costs during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the lockdown and working restriction measures imposed to combat COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses decreased by approximately RMB0.3 million or approximately 1.0% from approximately RMB31.3 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB31.0 million in 1H2020. Such decrease is mainly due to the decrease in research and development ("R&D") expenses incurred from continuing R&D activities undertaken for the modifications and improvements to the Group's products.
Other net loss
Other net loss for 1H2020 mainly represented the hedging loss incurred on raw materials during the first quarter of 2020.
- 21 -
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by approximately RMB0.5 million from approximately RMB7.5 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB7.0 million in 1H2020. Interest expense for 1H2019 and 1H2020 mainly represented the finance costs on the Group's short-term loans during the relevant periods.
Profit before tax
Profit before tax decreased by approximately RMB52.3 million or approximately 62.3% from approximately RMB83.9 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB31.6 million in 1H2020.
Income tax
The Group's main subsidiary, Jiangsu Hengxin, has been subject to an incentive tax rate of 15% as it has been awarded as a high-tech enterprise in the PRC since 2008. It had been awarded the same status for a further three years commencing on 7 December 2018.
Income tax expense decreased by approximately RMB4.3 million or approximately 41.0% from approximately RMB10.5 million in 1H2019 to approximately RMB6.2 million in 1H2020, mainly due to the significant decrease in operating profit as compared with 1H2019.
Net profit
In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company decreased approximately RMB48.0 million or approximately 65.4% from approximately RMB73.4 million in 1H2019 compared to approximately RMB25.4 million in 1H2020.
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
Material fluctuations of the consolidated statement of financial position items are explained below:
Trade and other receivables
-
Net trade and bills receivables decreased by approximately RMB24.0 million or approximately 2.9% from approximately RMB820.3 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB796.2 million as at 30 June 2020.
Average trade and bills receivables turnover days was 264 days as at 30 June 2020 compared to 202 days as at 31 December 2019. The increase in trade and bills receivables turnover by approximately 62 days was mainly because COVID-19 pandemic has affected the settlement arrangement of the Group's customers. However, on the gradual resumption of business and uplift of pandemic preventive measures during the second quarter of 2020, customers have resumed their
- 22 -
settlement arrangement. Although the collection of trade receivables from certain customers of the Group had been stretched longer due to reasons mentioned above, most of the trade and bills receivables balances were recent sales which were within the average credit period given to the Group's customers. As at 30 June 2020, approximately 68.2% of the trade and bills receivable are within the credit period given as compared with that of approximately 74.2% as at 31 December 2019.
For amounts due more than six months and longer, they mainly pertain to final payment owed by the two main PRC telecom operators.
These telecommunication operators have been the Group's long-time customers and the Group has been receiving regular payments from them. In view of the Group's long-standing dealings with such two main PRC telecom operators and the regular receipts of payments from these customers, the Group does not foresee any issue in the collection of these receivables. The Group will continue to endeavour in its collection efforts on the outstanding balances.
- Net prepayments and non-trade receivables increased by approximately RMB4.4 million or approximately 6.8% from approximately RMB65.1 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB69.5 million as at 30 June 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in prepayment on input tax to be certified.
Inventories
Inventories (comprising raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods) increased by approximately RMB34.0 million or approximately 35.9% from approximately RMB94.8 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB128.8 million as at 30 June 2020. The increase was mainly due to the need to build up the Group's inventories to meet the increase in demand for the products of the Group after the resumption of operations and business and uplifting of certain COVID-19 pandemic preventive measures during the second quarter of 2020.
Other investments (current assets)
Other investments (current assets) as at 30 June 2020 represented the subscription of short-term investments in wealth management products with a duration of six months commencing from June 2020 in a view to enhance the return on the working capital of the Group.
Short-term loans
Short-term loans were raised with an aim to enhance the working capital position of the Group. Short-term loans as at 30 June 2020 with fixed interest rates will become due for repayment by the fourth quarter of 2020 and second quarter of 2021 respectively.
- 23 -
Trade and other payables
- Trade payables increased by approximately RMB45.8 million or approximately 47.5% from approximately RMB96.4 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB142.2 million as at 30 June 2020. The increase is mainly due to the acquisition of raw materials on the resumption of operations in the second quarter of 2020 in response to the quick recovery and market demand of the Group's products.
- Other payables decreased by approximately RMB26.6 million or approximately 30.6% from approximately RMB86.8 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB60.2 million as at 30 June 2020 mainly due to the payment of the accrued staff costs from the year ended 31 December 2019 during 1H2020.

- REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
In the first half of 2020, the most important factor affecting the macro-economy and business operations was the widespread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 caused a suspension in the overall social and economic operation in the first quarter of 2020, with a complete standstill for almost all works, as a result of which the macro- economy experienced a significant decline and an unprecedented negative growth. With the gradual control of COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020, the orderly resumption of work and production, and gradual recovery of corporate investments and personal consumption, coupled with a series of measures taken by the Chinese government to stimulate domestic demand which have stabilized people's confidence, the macro economy has bottomed out of the recession and the business environment has been greatly improved.
As for the Group, due to a significant reduction in the procurement by telecommunication operators in the first quarter of 2020, the decline in procurement prices, coupled with the hedging loss on the decline in the prices of raw materials, the Group recorded a quarterly loss for the first time. In the second quarter of 2020, by seizing the favorable opportunity of the gradual stabilization of the macroeconomic situation, to resume work and production as soon as possible, and strengthening the efforts in the development and sales of new products, which resulted in a rapid growth in the business of new products with higher gross profit, as well as by virtue of the Group's strong technical and financial strength, strict and effective management, and the aggressive spirit of all
- 25 -
colleagues, the Group has not only made up for the loss in the first quarter of 2020, but also achieved better profits in the second quarter. Overall, the Group's revenue and its net profit in the first half of 2020 decreased by approximately 27.6% and approximately 65.4%, respectively as compared with the same period of last year. In overseas markets, despite a further increase in the demand for RF Coaxial Cables and Antennas required for 4G construction , the Group's sales in overseas markets only increased from approximately RMB91.5 million in the first half of 2019 to approximately RMB115.7 million in the first half of 2020, which failed to achieve significant increase as scheduled due to the impact of COVID-19 on shipments. As for products mix , with years of efforts, the Group has made some gratifying changes in the first half of this year against such an unfavorable environment: a major breakthrough was made in the 5G Antennas business, with an aggregate orders of RMB53.48 million and an aggregate shipments of RMB47.83 million in the first half of the year, indicating that it has fully boarded the express train of 5G business development; while the shipment of leaky cables and accessories with higher gross profit amounted to approximately RMB148.38 million in the first half of 2020, representing an increase of approximately 31.9% as compared with that in the first half of 2019.
Looking forward to the second half of 2020, there is still a mixed picture. Although there are many adverse factors, such as the ongoing widespread of COVID-19 overseas which caused a weak demand for the Group's export; escalating Sino-US trade friction and even confrontation which had a negative impact on the confidence and corporate operations; and the mounting trade protectionism in India after the Sino-Indian border dispute, in general, a series of measures introduced by the Chinese government to strengthen new infrastructure and accelerate 5G construction will gradually become effective in the second half of 2020. It is expected that the number of 5G base stations in the second half of 2020 will be increased at a speed of 10,000 stations per week, and the number of 5G network users will also grow rapidly.
