MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JILIN PROVINCE CHUNCHENG HEATING COMPANY LIMITED I INTERIM REPORT 2020
- RISK FACTORS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
- Industry Risk
The pricing of heat sources in the heat supply industry is usually subject to regulation and control by government departments, and the heat supply enterprises cannot have the right to regulate the purchase price of heat sources directly. In addition, the prices of services provided by the Group's engineering construction, maintenance and design business are also subject to control and regulation under government policies. Therefore, the Group's operations may be affected by adjustments to relevant laws and regulations as well as local policies in the PRC.
The Group will continue to exercise effective cost control, strengthen internal supervision and control as well as enhance its ability to respond timely to market changes so as to achieve a people-oriented and demand-driven heat supply system. The Group will also strive to enhance its intelligent management capability to ensure the quality of heat supply services in order to cope with various industry risks.
- Policy Risk
Changes in national and local government policies have a profound impact on the industry. From the perspective of national policies, the development of environmentally friendly, energy-saving and sustainable green cities will become the trend of urban heat supply in the future. In recent years, the PRC government has attached great importance to the monitoring of environmental protection issues by laws and regulations, and has issued a series of environmental protection policies and imposed further restrictions and requirements targeting pollution issues in relevant industries.
In formulating its future development goals and directions, the Group will adhere to the principles and requirements set out in various national and local government economic policies, industrial policies, as well as laws and regulations.
- Climate Risk
The cost of heating for the heat supply segment is significantly affected by the weather conditions during the heating period. The Company needs to purchase more heat to maintain the desired in-room temperature for its customers when the outdoor temperature is low during the heating period, which will increase the overall cost of the heating business and vice versa.
The Group will fully leverage the smart heating network system to regulate its heat supply capacity and adopt an intelligent control system for rational distribution of heat supply in order to cope with the risk of climate change on the Company's cost structure.
- Exchange Risk
The Group's business activities are mainly conducted in the PRC and its borrowings are also settled in RMB. Changes in exchange rates do not have a material effect on the Group.
IV. PROSPECTS AND OUTLOOK
In 2020, while implementing stringent anti-epidemic measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group will continue to develop its heat supply business, leverage its advantages in the industrial chain, maintain its steadfast approach in leading industry development with new development concepts, focus on scientific and technological innovation, technological upgrade and clean energy development. The Group will also strive to enhance its innovation and leadership and expand its assets scale to consolidate its leading position in the industry and achieve outstanding results for the sustainable development of the Company.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JILIN PROVINCE CHUNCHENG HEATING COMPANY LIMITED I INTERIM REPORT 2020
- Prospects of the Heat Supply Business
In recent years, the PRC government has been proactively carrying out reform of the heat supply system. Large local enterprises are encouraged to facilitate the consolidation of the heat supply industry.

The Group will continue to actively promote the use of clean energy for heating in order to achieve higher quality in business development. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to explore new heat supply systems, with a view to establish a new heating supply system with co-generation as the main heating source and other clean energy as complementary sources. On the basis of the current intelligent regulation and control at the primary network level, the Group will gradually realize joint control of the network and source, and gradually move towards pinpoint control and precise heat supply. The application and promotion of new energy heating technology will enable the Group to develop the most cost-competitive new energy heating model tailored to local conditions through an in-depth analysis of the cost curve of new energy heating technology, thus creating new drivers for profit growth while defending the blue sky for future generations.
The Group will increase its efforts and investment in heating-related scientific and technological innovation as well as technology research and development, encourage in-house research and development projects and apply such results into its business operation. With the use of technologies such as intelligent integrated network, 5G transmission and big data analysis, the Group will further expand the functions of its smart heating network system to be efficiently applied to each sector of operations including heat production and operation adjustment. The Group will also strive to lower its production and operation costs and increase heat utilization efficiency, thereby boosting its business performance.
- Prospects of the Construction, Maintenance and Design Business
In the face of the opportunities and challenges arising from the country's "New Infrastructure", the Group will further enhance its independent research and development capabilities on the basis of improving the smart heating network platform and heating network interconnection and intercommunication, increase and extend the channels for promoting the construction, maintenance and design business segment, and expand the revenue-generating capability of this segment in a multi-dimensional manner. In the second half of the year, we will further enhance the technology and service level of our construction, maintenance and design business. On the basis of our existing businesses, we will enhance and increase our professional qualifications, establish a sound and comprehensive mechanism for the commercialization of our scientific and technological achievements, and promote our industrial upgrading with our existing intellectual property rights and patented technologies, so as to achieve the economic development of the Group and safeguard people's livelihood with heat supply.

INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 26 to 64, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Jilin Province Chuncheng Heating Company Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as at 30 June 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, 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 ("IAS 34") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made 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 Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 Hong Kong 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 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICES AND DISCLOSURES
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
This interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of the following revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") for the first time for the current period's financial information.
Amendments to IFRS 3 | Definition of a Business |
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform |
Amendments to IFRS 16 | Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions |
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 | Definition of Material |
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 29 March 2018
The nature and impact of the revised IFRSs are described below.
- Amendments to IFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
- Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 address the effects of interbank offered rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group as the Group does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the six months ended 30 June 2020
JILIN PROVINCE CHUNCHENG HEATING COMPANY LIMITED I INTERIM REPORT 2020
2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
- Amendment to IFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and only if (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
- any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and
- there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group had no material rent concessions granted by the lessors. Therefore the amendment did not have any impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.
- Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have any impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.
- The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. The amendments had no impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.
3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group considers the business from the perspective of service activities, which mainly include the following two reportable segments:
- Heat supply, including the provision and distribution of heat, pipeline connection fee and heat transmission; and
- Construction, maintenance and design services, including certain rental services and the sales of goods.
The management monitors the results of the Group's operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The operating segments are each managed separately because they distribute distinct products/services with different production/distribution processes and due to their distinct operating and gross margin characteristics. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/loss, which is measured consistently with the Group's profit/loss before tax.

Geographical information
The Group's revenues from customers are all attributed to the PRC, and the Group's non-current assets are all located in the PRC.
Information of major customers
Revenue of approximately RMB49,018,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (six months ended 30 June 2019: RMB46,069,000) was derived from the "Construction, maintenance and design services" segment to a single customer.
Seasonality of operations
Both the heat supply business and construction, maintenance and design services are subject to seasonality.
- Heat supply period was from October of each year to April of the following year. ii)The construction, maintenance and design services also experienced seasonality due to the fact that most of the projects were undertaken outside of the heat supply period to avoid disruption or suspension of heat supply. As a result, the revenue and profit may fluctuate significantly over the year.

12. TRADE RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
Impairment under IFRS 9
The Group has provided and distributed heat and provided construction, maintenance and design services to the Shareholder and fellow subsidiaries. The Group traded with such enterprises and had never had any receivables that could not be recovered. Therefore, the directors of the Group were of the opinion that no impairment allowance was necessary for the Shareholder and fellow subsidiaries considering the current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, as appropriate.
The Group applies the simplified approach to the provision for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables (excluding receivables from the Shareholder and fellow subsidiaries). Measurement of the expected credit losses on trade receivables excluding receivables from the Shareholder and fellow subsidiaries has been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the ageing.

Less: Provision for impairment | (9,029) | (15,069) |
143,941 | 198,861 |
The contract assets primarily relate to the Group's right to consideration for work completed but not billed because the rights are conditioned on the Group's future performance in satisfying the respective performance obligations at the reporting date in respect of construction contracts. Upon completion of construction and acceptance by the customers, the amounts recognized as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.
The movements in the loss allowance for impairment of contract assets are as follows:
30 June | 31 December | |
2020 | 2019 | |
RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
(Unaudited) | (Audited) | |
At the beginning of the period/year | 15,069 | 21,119 |
Impairment loss reversed | (6,040) | (6,050) |
At the end of the period/year | 9,029 | 15,069 |
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates for the measurement of the expected credit losses for the contract assets are based on those of the trade receivables as the contract assets and the trade receivables are from the same customer base.

26. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
- Transactions with other government-related entities in the PRC (Continued)
Apart from the transactions with Changchun Heating Group mentioned above, the Group also conducts some business activities with government-related entities in the ordinary course of business. These transactions are carried out on terms similar to those that would be entered into with non-government-related entities. Transactions with other government-related entities include but are not limited to the following: - Provision and distribution of heat;
- Maintenance and construction services;
- Purchase of heating resource; and
- Depositing and borrowing money.
The tariff of heat supply is regulated by the relevant government authorities. The Group prices its other services and products based on commercial negotiations. The Group has also established its approval processes for the provision and distribution of heat, purchase of products and services and its financing policy for borrowings. Such approval processes and financing policy do not depend on whether the counterparties are government-related entities or not.
Having considered the potential for transactions to be impacted by related party relationships, the Group's approval processes and financing policy, and what information would be necessary for an understanding of the potential effect of the relationships on the financial statements, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that further information about the following transactions that are collectively significant is required for disclosure:
- The Group deposits most of its cash in government-related financial institutions, and also obtains short-term and long-term loans from these financial institutions in the ordinary course of business. The interest rates of the bank deposits and loans are regulated by the People's Bank of China.
- Revenue from the provision and distribution of heat and construction and maintenance services to the companies which are government-related entities accounted for 36% of the total revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (six months ended 30 June 2019: 29%).
- Significant transactions with government-related entities also included a large portion of heat procurement amounting to RMB252,977,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (six months ended 30 June 2019: RMB245,346,000).
- For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group principally derived the revenue for the construction, maintenance and design services from China Railway Ninth Bureau Group Fourth Engineering Co., Ltd. (中鐵九局集團第四工程有限公司) and Jilin University (吉林大學) amounting to RMB57,516,000.

28. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 | - | Based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2 | - | Based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value |
measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly | ||
Level 3 | - | Based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value |
measurement is unobservable. |
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial instruments, other than those with carrying amounts that reasonably approximate to fair values and those carried at fair value, are as follows:
30 June 2020 | 31 December 2019 | |||
Carrying | Carrying | |||
amounts | Fair values | amounts | Fair values | |
RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
(Unaudited) | (Unaudited) | (Audited) | (Audited) | |
Financial liabilities | ||||
Interest-bearing bank and other | ||||
borrowings | 80,763 | 80,763 | 10,715 | 10,715 |
Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, financial assets included in prepayments and other receivables, and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
At the end of each reporting period, the finance department analyzes the movements in the values of financial instruments.
The fair values of the interest-bearing bank and other borrowings have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The Group's own non-performance risk for interest-bearing bank and other borrowings at the end of each reporting period was assessed to be insignificant.
