Description of segments and principal activities
The executive directors, as the chief operating decision-maker (the "CODM") of the Group, review the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The Group is organised into four business segments: property development and sales, commercial property investment, hotel operations and property management.
As the CODM considers most of the Group's consolidated revenue and results are attributable to the market in the PRC, and the Group's consolidated non-current assets are substantially located in the PRC, no geographical information is presented. - Segment performance

Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present the business review and prospects of JY Grandmark Holdings Limited ("JY Grandmark" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Period under Review") to the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders").

BUSINESS REVIEW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2020
-
Macro market conditions
In the first half of 2020, the national property market was affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, but as the epidemic got under control relatively quickly in Mainland China, the property market has shown a significant recovery trend: in February to June, the number of cities where prices of new home recorded month-on-month increase continued to grow; in June, the national investments in real estate development increased, reversing the trend of the slight year-on-year decline in the first five months, and both transaction volumes and prices of the property markets in the cities where the Group operates have also begun to rebound significantly. The stable and fast recovery of the market reflects that the real estate market is still in sound basic conditions: there is objective demand for purchasing as well as vibrancy for squeezing and outbreak in the market; and under the principles of "no speculation of residential properties" and "one city, one policy (因 城施策)", policies have also provided certain support to the market and enterprises, including, among others, moderately loose local policies and smooth adjustment of the loan prime rate in the PRC.
- 17 -
Under such macro background, the Group operated well in the first half of the year. The Group actively ensured the quality and quantity of constructions, and ensured the punctuality and effectiveness at the node for projects all over Mainland China. The Group expanded sales channels and achieved our basic operating indicators. Among the nine property projects for sale, certain have, driven by market and as a result of effective transfer, recorded substantial increase in results.
-
Market opportunities arise for "Eco-friendly and People-oriented Property"
We believe that the COVID-19 epidemic outbreak in around the first half of the year has brought a change to the supply side of the property market - "health" has gradually become a reference indicator with growing concern for the housing consumption preference. The demand for home purchasing and for home upgrade continues to rise, and tends to gradually exceed the rigid demand for home purchasing. Besides, environment and health are the major concern of purchasers looking for home upgrade under the epidemic.
The Group has been focusing on segmented markets and targeting at purchasers looking for a home upgrade and multi-house ownership. With "Eco-friendly and People-oriented Property" serving as our product development concept, we attach great importance to the health value that the internal and external living environment brings when selecting project sites, which helps our products get increasing popular in the market, and brings opportunities for the Group to further penetrate the market. Taking JY Hot Spring Villas (景業瓏泉灣) under the segment of Conghua hot spring restore which has superior ecological environment as an example, the project recorded a number of transactions of hot spring courtyard products and achieved a breakthrough in sales during the first half of 2020. In addition, Qingyuan residential project JY Grand Garden (景業雍景園), which is near to a national 4A-level tourist attraction and also has good ecological environment and is equipped with school supporting facilities, was in the leading position in terms of sales volume and sales among the local projects for sale during the first half of the year. - Increase reserve of developing areas by approximately 1.1 million sq.m. through tenders, auctions or listing-for-sale
As to the PRC land market, in the first half of the year, the government continued to launch land parcels for sales to ease the supply-demand relationship. We therefore believe that it is an appropriate timing for enterprises with good capital reserve to moderately increase their land reserve.
With good funding conditions, the Group also actively participated in tenders, auctions or listing-for-sale: in March 2020, it once again obtained nine land parcels in Tengchong, Yunnan province, increasing developing areas by approximately 1.006 million sq.m. Located in the Qushi resort area in Tengchong, Yunnan province where JY Gaoligong Town (景業高黎貢小鎮), a project of the Group for sale, was located, those land parcels have iconic landscapes and landforms and will be developed into projects under two different product lines. In July 2020, the Group formed a project company with Jinke Properties (金科地產) with shareholding of 51%: 49% and obtained a high-quality land parcel at the top of the metro in Kengbei Village, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou (廣州 增城區坑貝村地鐵上蓋) with developing areas of approximately 100,000 sq.m. It is a new area under the Group's deployment in the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area. - 18 -
"Economic zone of top level" and "entrance city of population flows" serve as the land selection standards of the Group, and are also important indicators ensuring land turnover and land premium. In addition to the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area that we regard as the core area of our expansion, the Group also pays great attention to lands in markets with high-growth potential, such as the Yangtze River Delta and Shaanxi province, to actively expand our presence in high-quality areas.
-
Funding conditions
With sound operating data, the Group gained recognition in the capital market. In March 2020, the 7.5% senior notes in the amount of US Dollar ("US$") 150 million issued by the Company were over-subscribed by institutional and individual investors. In May 2020, the Company was included as a constituent of the MSCI China Small Cap Index by Morgan Stanley Capital International. In July 2020, the Company was on the list of "Top 20 Guangdong Property Enterprises with High Credit (廣東地產資信20強)" organised by the Guangzhou Province branches of the four state-owned banks, being Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China and Construction Bank of China. The recognition by the capital market provides stronger support for the development of the Group.
During the Period under Review, the Group was improving financial structure and broadened funding channels. The sound financial conditions and diversified funding channels enabled the Group to achieve sustainable and high-quality development under the background of tightening funding in the industry. As at 30 June 2020, net gearing ratio of the Group was at a healthy level of 67.2%.
FUTURE STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS
-
Business strategies and prospects for the second half of the year
With accumulated market demands in the first half of the year, we expect that there will be a significant increase in sales in the property market of the PRC as the market gradually recovers, especially in key cities. As such, the Group will capture the market opportunities in the second half of the year to actively promote the sales of projects in the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area which is the focus of the Group and accelerate the process of price adjustment to boost sales. At the same time, the Group will continue to pay attention to the land market in popular cities, with a view to seeking opportunities to acquire more quality land with high potentials for future development and supply.
From the perspective of supply and demand, we believe that the real estate consumption in the PRC has entered the "1 Plus Era" (that is, every family has at least one house on average), during which purchasers looking for a home upgrade will replace purchasers with fundamental demand as the major purchasing power in the market. As a result, the Group's market strategy in the second half of the year is to continue to create properties with high quality, high premiums and increasing demand for middle and high-end consumption markets, and fully meet the focus and demands of customers in the growing market through capturing the hot spots and future trend of the market. With "health"
- 19 -
and "living experience" at its core, the Group will put more efforts on highlighting its product advantage featuring "Eco-friendly and People-oriented Properties" from site selection, planning to product research and development. Meanwhile, the Group will diversify its product lines, develop products with more styles and categories and expand its market share and brand influence in the market segment.
It was mentioned in the 2020 development direction of the property market in the PRC which was stressed at the Central Economic Work Conference that "more efforts should be put on urban renewal and inventory renovation and upgrading" and more support would be provided to encourage property developers to participate in urban construction and development from policy and credit levels. Therefore, the Group has taken the deployment of urban renewal business as one of its business focus in the second half of the year. It will actively participate in the urban renewal projects in key cities in core areas, such as Guangzhou and Foshan in the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area, acquire and organise valuable land, integrate its own industrial resources and cooperate with professional industrial operation institutions and platforms to accelerate the deployment and project development of urban renewal business, thus creating a new fast growth point for the Group in the second half of the year.
In addition, the Group will also continue to diversify its business strategies. Focusing on property development, the Group will accelerate the brand promotion and business expansion of its property service, improve the sales strategies and operating profits of its hotel operation and achieve the transformation of commercial property investment as soon as possible through the interconnection of all business segments, so as to enhance the overall profitability of the Group in a comprehensive way.
-
Deepen the building of "Eco-friendly and People-oriented" product line
The Group will adhere to the development concept of "Eco-friendly and People- oriented Property Developer", seize the rising demand of customers for improving their living environment and space, and deepen the building of a diversified "Eco- friendly and People-oriented" product line, thereby further enhancing our brand's market competitiveness.
In respect of projects that are about to enter the sales stage, the existing product line will be further deepened to highlight the "Eco-friendly and People-oriented" feature of the products. Based on landscape features and the living habits of different groups of people and taking into account the current market pursuit of "health", breakthroughs in styles and customisation of differentiated apartment types will be realised and more efforts will be put into quality and details.
Among the projects that are about to enter the market, the Group's JY Jiangshan Shili (景業江山十里) and JY Yunshan Xigu (景業雲山溪谷) in Tengchong, Yunnan province will be developed into stacked house residential products; the Maofeng Mountain project in Guangzhou will bring properties with both residential and commercial functions and Lingnan new Chinese style, with the aim of building eco-friendly and people-oriented properties worth expecting by the market.
- 20 -
It is the Group's product strategy to realise both good reputation and high profits by building quality properties that meet the market needs and lead market trends and transferring higher added value into premium while ensuring the cost of projects developed under control.
-
Make efforts to deploy urban renewal and accelerate business growth
Real estate development has come to the stock building age, and urban renewal becomes the blue ocean for real estate enterprises to actively deploy. Since the beginning of its establishment, the Group has taken urban renewal as one of its development businesses. Therefore, in its business plan, urban renewal will be a core business growth point of the Group.
At present, the Group is actively considering the possibility of a number of urban renewal projects, such as the core areas of Guangzhou and Foshan. The overall planning area is approximately 4 million sq.m., which is planned to be transferred in the next three years and will bring rapid growth to the land reserve and results for the Group.
APPRECIATION
I hereby express my sincere gratitude to the customers and business partners for their long- term support. My heartfelt appreciation also goes to our Directors, the management team and all employees for their excellent work and contributions during the Period under Review. In particular, I would like to thank you, our Shareholders, for your continuing support and trust, which is very important for the growth of the Group and also very much valued by the Board.
I am very confident in the strategies that we envision and implement. Our professional and seasoned management team has well placed JY Grandmark to deliver growth in its profitability in relation to its core businesses in the future.

During the Period under Review, revenue from commercial property investment of the Group amounted to RMB11.0 million, representing an increase of 42.9% as compared with RMB7.7 million in the corresponding period of 2019.

During the Period under Review, the Group's gross profit margin from our property development and sales decreased by 9.5 percentage points to 45.3% from 54.8% in the corresponding period of 2019.

The Group's finance costs/(income) - net increased from income of RMB0.5 million in the first half of 2019 to costs of RMB0.8 million in the first half of 2020, mainly due to increase in interest expense charged to finance costs amounting to RMB15.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Share of results of an associate
The Group's share of profit of an associate during the Period under Review amounted to RMB39.6 million, while the Group recognised share of loss of the associate amounted to RMB0.7 million in the same period of 2019. The increase was mainly due to recognition of revenue and the corresponding share of profit from the associate during the first half of 2020.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased to RMB134.9 million during the Period under Review from RMB163.4 million in the corresponding period of 2019, which was mainly due to decrease in land appreciation tax by RMB29.9 million. Our effective tax rate remained relatively stable at 27.2% and 28.2%, respectively, for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019.

Contingent liabilities
-
The Group has arranged bank financing for certain purchasers of the Group's property units and provided guarantees to secure obligations of such purchasers for repayments. Such guarantees terminate upon the earlier of (i) issuance of the real estate ownership certificate, which will generally be available within an average period of two to three years upon the completion of guarantee registration; or (ii) the satisfaction of mortgaged loan by the purchasers of properties. As at 30 June 2020, the outstanding guarantees were RMB1,209.0 million (31 December 2019: RMB1,075.9 million).
Pursuant to the terms of the guarantees, upon default in mortgage payments by these purchasers, the Group is responsible for repaying the outstanding mortgage principals together with accrued interest and penalty owed by the defaulted purchasers to the banks and the Group is entitled to take over the legal title and possession of the related properties. The Group's guarantee period starts from the dates of grant of the mortgages. The Directors consider that the likelihood of default in payments by purchasers is minimal and therefore the financial guarantee measured at fair value is immaterial. - As at 30 June 2020, the Group had provided guarantees for borrowings of the Group's associate amounting to RMB133.0 million (31 December 2019: nil).
Commitments
